"Of course, who do you think I am?"

Jenny gave him an arrogant smile before gathering her strength to sit cross-legged next to him.

Tyler helplessly sighed. Her attitude wasn’t going to change any time soon.

He simply decided to ignore her and check his improvement.

Upon reaching the Spirit Grade, Harmony of Nine Phoenixes allowed him to control Yin-Yang mana better.

He raised his hand.

For a moment, nothing happened, but suddenly, a blue circular shield appeared in front of his fingers.

Gulp!

Looking at the shield made by pure mana and nothing else, Tyler was shocked.

This was something even people at the Soul Sublimation Realm couldn’t do. Simply because only at the Inner World Formation could their Qi turn solid.

But his technique skipped that requirement, allowing him to change the shape of his mana.

Of course, this also meant he could use his mana to fly.

Thinking about it, he closed his eyes for a moment and started visualizing the wings behind his back.

At the same time, he felt an enormous drain in his mana reserve. Even with his mana reserve, this drain was quite heavy.

Still, though, he managed to create a pair of blue wings behind his back.

As those wings flapped, his body began floating in the air. He could feel that despite his weight, the wings didn’t need to furiously slap the air.

Nor did they need to be big to hold his weight.

That’s because this was wing created from mana.

The moment he created these wings for the purpose of flight, he changed their nature, giving them the ability to influence wind.

"Whoaaaa! Yahooo!"

As he flew towards the sky, a childish scream rang out of his mouth.

At this moment, his skin was crawling with excitement. He could feel the sheer joy of being able to fly and be free.

"Tsk! Tsk! He is so childish."

A look of displeasure appeared on Jenny’s face. Without even opening her eyes, she knew what Tyler was doing.

Although she was surprised he achieved flight in the Treasured Body Realm, considering his technique, that shouldn’t truly be a surprise.

What made her speechless was his childish excitement about being able to fly.

She didn’t know how much Tyler craved to be able to fly.

Tyler kept flying around, feeling the thrill of the sky as he soared higher and higher until he came across a wall.

Bang!

Although he saw the wall, he had already flown too fast. His body collided against the wall, causing no damage to it.

But it did cause damage to his wings.

"Oh shit!"

Tyler cursed as he found his wings dissipating in the air. His body started falling towards the ground.

He was nearly five thousand meters in the sky. Falling from this height would be serious even with his recent improvement.

By that recent improvement, he meant reaching the Four-Star Mortal Body Realm.

This meant he was physically strong as the peak Treasured Body Realm cultivator.

That was without using mana.

Normal cultivators need mana to exert that level of strength.

’Hmm! Should I catch him?’

Jenny opened one of her eyes, but just when she was about to stand up, she saw something interesting.

Tyler had already positioned himself properly in mid-air. With his feet pointing at the ground, he released a jet stream of Azure Flame from his feet.

This fire came out with so much force that it literally helped him hover in mid-air just before he reached the ground.

At the same time, he also released Azure Flames from his hands to keep himself balanced in mid-air.

Unfortunately, they weren’t exactly thrusters, so he couldn’t use them to fly around.

After slowing down, he stopped the Azure Flame and safely landed on the ground.

Then, he noticed Jenny watching him with a surprised look on her face.

"What? Never seen someone use fire like this?"

"Tsk! Why would I use flames like this to fly when I can just fly?" Jenny sneered and closed her eyes.

"Don’t worry! I am not looking down on you. Thinking like this requires creativity."

"And creativity only comes when you have no other choice but to find a completely new one."

"Considering your background and your talent, it’s normal for you to never face a situation like that."

"Even when you did, you were immediately promised a better future. So, don’t feel bad about it."

Tyler’s own creativity wasn’t exactly creative. He was simply copying the ideas of the stories he had read back on Earth.

Considering that he was a true otaku, he had consumed a lot of these stories. So, he tried not to have any sense of superiority for having this kind of creativity

"Humph! Don’t disturb me anymore. I am going to use that Heavenly Dao Sound to enter the state of enlightenment."

"Huh? Wait, what do you mean enter the state of enlightenment? Didn’t you use it to improve your comprehension?"

Tyler, stunned by her words, immediately asked.

"Hey, comprehension isn’t something one can improve through Heavenly Dao Sound. Yes, you can improve comprehension, but that’s very limited."

"I see! No wonder your comprehension is growing stronger every day. But that shouldn’t be possible."

"Comprehension is connected to the soul. I have sensed your soul before. It hasn’t changed even the slightest."

Jenny gave him a confused look and answered.

This stumped Tyler.

He didn’t know who was right and who was wrong. Because to him, improving comprehension was easy through dual cultivation.

’No wonder Elena and Daisy improved during the dual cultivation. So, it’s not that they can’t improve their comprehension; they have no choice but to improve their techniques on the spot.’

"If my soul isn’t a problem, then why am I able to improve my comprehension?"

Tyler asked.

"I don’t know."

"Tower, do you know?"

Suddenly, the tower’s spirit appeared in front of him.

"Yes and No! I do have a theory, but it’s just a theory. To understand this, you need to understand what Heavenly Dao Sound is."

"It is the cumulation of the universe’s knowledge. That means everything that a race or a living creature learns, the universe also learns."

"And the Heavenly Dao Sound is unique for one reason. Even after the universe’s destruction and rebirth, that understanding doesn’t disappear."

"That means the universe keeps collecting new information every single second. Heavenly Dao Sound is basically Heavenly Dao talking about these things."

"Because Heavenly Dao is born from the Primordial Chaos, it has a unique ability to improve. So, this information is improved by Heavenly Dao; it takes the form that is easiest for a person to understand."

"Eighteen years ago, your soul came to this world and merged with me. During that process, I sensed an existence that surpassed even the likes of the Heavenly Dao."

"Of course, it is not connected to you directly. Your soul is one hundred percent yours, but this connection has some effects on your soul."

"Since Heavenly Dao can improve the information using the power of Primordial Chaos, your soul basically reverse-engineers that power of Primordial Chaos to improve your comprehension."

"In the process, it excludes the information that Heavenly Dao has imparted on you. This is probably true because you are able to select when you need enlightenment and when you need comprehension."

"Of course, this is just a theory, a soul theory."

Hearing that, Tyler felt speechless.

He never thought his soul was connected to the being surpassing the Heavenly Dao.

No wonder his soul merged with the tower, but despite his lack of right talent, the tower didn’t succeed in breaking out.

At this moment, Tyler truly believed that if the tower could leave, it would’ve definitely left.

After all, it had been waiting for the chosen one for nine cosmic years- nine times the universe was destroyed and created.

"Well, knowing that helped."

Tyler nodded his head and calmly accepted this.

If it was before, he would’ve been shouting Why did that person make his fate like this. What right does that person have to manipulate him?

He would even say, ’Don’t underestimate a young man’s potential; one day, I will defy your Will’.

But now, Tyler didn’t say a word. Because he realized having these things was good.

At least, he didn’t die just after his birth.

Who knows if this was future him?

Cultivators can easily surpass a thing like a timeline. In their eyes, timelines can be manipulated.

So, it would be normal for his future self to help his past self to create a perfect time loop.

But he didn’t have much faith in this theory.

Because this meant if he was going to suffer a tragic event, his future self would make sure that would happen.

And he didn’t like the sound of that. He didn’t believe his future-self would do that.

If anything, his future-self would try to break that time loop.

"Let’s not talk about that. Jenny needs to enter her enlightenment state. I am leaving the tower."
