What Do You Mean I Have Nine Wives?
Chapter 59: Hurtful Truth
"You are Lady Miko, the Sealer of the Great Universe!"
The only person other than Miko whose voice could be heard on other floors was Blood Sword Empress, and she immediately recognized this name.
"Oh? I didn’t think someone would remember me."
Miko teasingly spoke.
"How can I not remember the Great Sealer? You separated the Lower Realm, Spirit Realm, Immortal Realm, and the God Realm."
"By separating these realms, you singlehandedly saved trillions and trillions of lives."
"I thought you left the universe to open your own dimension."
Hearing that, Miko chuckled.
"Although I was planning on that, I changed my mind when this tower appeared. After all, my ambition is beyond this universe."
A stunned voice rang from the seventh floor.
"Lady Miko, are you going to accept the dual cultivation with him?"
"Why not? This is my destiny. Do not assume just because he is weak now, he will be weak forever."
"His father has awakened the power of Rule and Space while his mother has awakened the power of Time."
"If this tower hadn’t merged with his soul, the universe would’ve given him a technique with the mixture of space and time."
"Alongside another technique. Once his parents reach the Immortal Realm, their bloodline will transform, and he will truly inherit their powers."
"This is destiny, little sword girl. This is the destiny I have been waiting for."
After she heard that, Blood Sword Empress immediately asked.
"Did you predict this, Lady Miko?"
But she didn’t get a reply. Upon realizing that Miko was no longer talking, she felt a bit regretful.
Because she didn’t know his parents had put a protective measure in place.
No, she didn’t know this, but she didn’t know what exactly they had left.
For example, that soul exploding technique or the power of time.
Upon listening to Miko, she understood how Tyler’s parents were planning on saving their son.
If he were truly in danger due to this tower, they would let him self-destruct and harm this tower.
When the tower was at its weakest, they could separate their son’s soul from the tower and then use the Dao of Time to resurrect their son.
After all, the tower and Tyler were connected through souls. As long as the tower was there, his soul wouldn’t completely burn away.
But it would damage the foundation of this tower. This damage was more than enough for two powerhouses to separate their son from the tower.
Only after that could they use the Dao of Time to resurrect their son; otherwise, they would only be repairing the tower.
It was truly a calculated move, but she also understood why they would have to sacrifice their life.
Because Tyler’s death wouldn’t destroy the tower, it would only damage its foundation.
This tower was still one of the best treasures in the world and also the strongest in terms of its sealing and defensive capabilities.
So, it would be a dream if they could separate their son’s soul from the tower without sacrificing their lives.
Even the tower couldn’t do it; otherwise, it would’ve done it a long time ago.
Blood Sword Empress didn’t know their power. She knew they were in the Living Tribulation Realm, which was the highest realm of this world.
But she didn’t realize they were already getting closer to the Immortal Realm.
Above this realm, there was still a Spirit Realm.
It almost seemed impossible for two of them to cross six realms in just twelve years.
Only after thinking about their specific techniques did she attribute their growth to those techniques.
After all, Tyler’s father had the power of Rule and Space, while his mother awakened the power of Time.
Power of Rule was already one of the strongest powers in this world, allowing Richard to set orders and consequences in the world.
Although not as ridiculously powerful as the Lord of Dual Cultivation, it could also strip someone of their power.
Only now she understood why nobody seemed to remember Tyler’s father.
It turned out he used his power to strip them of their memories of him.
’Such an amazing power, and he is only a mortal from such a small town.’
Blood Sword Empress was stunned. The more she thought about him, the more she realized how ridiculous their powers were.
Just the space-time would be one of the strongest powers in the world, but they had to add the power of Rule.
And more importantly, both of them came from the mortal world.
Even she wasn’t born in the mortal world. She was born directly in the God Realm.
In her eyes, anything below the God Realm was nonexistent. Maybe that’s why she didn’t try to understand their powers.
On the other hand, Miko was the one who separated the universe into four realms, so she didn’t look down on their powers.
The moment they used their powers on the tower, it immediately caught her attention.
While Blood Sword Empress could accept their powers, the Fire Empress was fuming in anger.
She was angry at Miko, angry at the tower, angry at Tyler, but also angry at herself.
Because she realized, despite having the lowest level of restrictions, she couldn’t even sense their powers.
Before this, she didn’t even realize they had the power of Space and Time.
At the same time, she found one horrifying fact.
Unless she could escape within a century and at her full power, she would be killed by Tyler’s parents.
Of course, only if she did hurt Tyler.
If she didn’t hurt him, they wouldn’t try to kill her.
Because if they could reach the peak of the Spirit Realm in just twelve years, it was completely possible to reach the God Realm within a century.
And considering the ridiculousness of their powers, unless she improved her strength, it would be possible to live after harming Tyler.
Before, she didn’t know about their powers, so she never considered him a threat.
But knowing their powers, she had no choice but to put up with Tyler’s bargain.
She wanted to improve her strength. She had already wasted so much time, and now two people whom she considered ants were already closing the gap.
Yes, the century was nothing but a day for her.
Because of her perception of time, she couldn’t help but tone down her arrogance.
Even if she did want to hurt him, it wasn’t like she could succeed.
After all, Miko had already declared Tyler as her destiny.
Considering her power, even if she was given the arrogance of a thousand people, she couldn’t dream of hurting him.
Or rather, she couldn’t dream of hurting him before she got stronger.
’Humph! If you want to be my equal, you must have my strength, but by the time you get even close to me, I will’ve already surpassed myself.’
The Fire Empress thought to herself and clenched her fist.
She no longer wanted to fight Tyler, and her only goal was dual cultivation. But she also had her pride.
She wouldn’t beg Tyler for dual cultivation. She wanted him to beg her.

At this moment, outside the tower;
Sword Light slowly transformed. This time, Blood Sword Empress no longer hid her face.
She turned into a tall woman, wearing a red gown with lotus patterns all over her body.
There was no trace of wrinkles or aging in her face, as if she were stuck in her early twenties.
But there was a strange aura around her. Even though Tyler knew this was Blood Aura, he couldn’t smell anything pungent.
As if she had purified the bloody smell with something more fragrant.
Her face was more beautiful than the brightest moon in the dark sky. She had a slightly longer nose and rosy red lips.
With long red flowing hair and red eyes, she looked no different than a celestial beauty.
Her beauty was enough to make Elena ashamed of herself, even though she also had red eyes.
"My name is Murong Xue. People know me as Blood Sword Empress because of my nature and swordsmanship."
"I picked up my sword at the age of six, became a swordsmanship expert at the age of seven, and practiced every single sword technique of my family at the age of ten." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
"By the age of twenty, I had comprehended my sword scripture. With my Blood Sword Scripture, I comprehended Blood Sword Intent, released Blood Sword Domain, and finally forged a Blood Sword Soul."
"From this forward, I will pass on my Blood Sword Scripture to you, but you will not be my disciple."
Hearing that, Tyler’s heart shook for a moment before he released a sigh.
He understood that without a teacher-student relationship, unless he could conquer her with his charm, she wouldn’t care much about him.
If she surpassed the power of this tower before he reached her strength, she wouldn’t hesitate to leave, even if it caused him some damage.
Of course, considering her nature, killing him wasn’t an option unless she gave up on her swordsmanship.
And only retained her bloody nature.
