Chapter 823. Sky Demoness Offer

Chapter 823: 823. Sky Demoness Offer

After successfully forming his Golden Core, Tyler did not reveal his true cultivation to the outside world.

With the help of his concealing art, he deliberately suppressed his aura and made it appear as though he had only reached the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm. To anyone who examined him with ordinary spiritual sense, that was the only cultivation they would be able to perceive.

In truth, however, Tyler had already stepped into the Golden Core Realm.

Moreover, his foundation was far thicker than that of an ordinary cultivator. Even Tyler himself could sense a strange change within his Golden Core. Deep inside the dark, glass-like core, there seemed to be a tiny figure slowly taking shape. It was faint and indistinct, like a small soul sleeping within an egg.

Tyler narrowed his eyes before a smirk appeared on his face.

"My Nascent Soul is already beginning to form?"

This was far beyond what he had expected.

The foundation he had built was simply too pure. His qi had been refined countless times, and the resources he had consumed were far beyond what ordinary cultivators could imagine. Because of this, the consolidation process that normally required years of painstaking cultivation was almost unnecessary for him.

Once his Golden Core had formed, his cultivation was already beginning to move toward the next realm.

Tyler didn’t dwell on it.

He left his cultivation chamber and walked into the residence.

The three Sinclair sisters were waiting outside.

The moment they saw him, however, all three froze.

Lala, Momo, and Nana exchanged glances.

Their master looked... different.

Tyler had always possessed an attractive appearance, but after breaking through to the Golden Core Realm, something about him had changed. His features seemed sharper, his body carried a faint natural majesty, and there was an indescribable charm surrounding him.

More importantly, his presence made them feel as though they were standing before something ancient and sacred.

Even though Tyler was deliberately concealing his cultivation, the aura naturally leaking from his body was enough to make their hearts tremble.

Tyler looked at the three sisters and smiled.

"Thank you for guarding the place while I was in seclusion."

The three quickly recovered and bowed.

"It was our duty, Master."

Tyler nodded and walked toward the laboratory. The Sinclair sisters naturally followed behind him.

"Master," Lala suddenly said, "Senior Sister Suzuka is still in seclusion."

"Hm?"

Tyler stopped for a moment.

Then he nodded.

"Let her continue. She should be focusing on forming her Golden Core."

He did not intend to disturb her.

After all, breaking through to the Golden Core Realm was an important matter. Even with the assistance of the Flawless Golden Core Pill, Suzuka still needed to properly digest its energy and stabilize her cultivation.

Tyler pushed open the laboratory door.

A smile appeared on his face.

"Now that I’ve broken through, I can finish my project faster."

The three sisters followed him inside.

Momo suddenly spoke.

"Master, the Sky Demoness is here."

Tyler paused.

He turned his head slightly before nodding.

"Let her in."

A moment later, he continued toward the deeper part of the laboratory.

After Tyler disappeared from sight, the three sisters simultaneously released a sigh.

Nana quietly glanced toward the direction Tyler had gone.

"Don’t you think Master has become... rather handsome?"

Lala and Momo immediately turned their heads and glared at her.

"What?"

Nana looked innocent.

"I’m just asking."

She lowered her voice before continuing, "Don’t the two of you feel like jumping onto Master after seeing him?"

Lala and Momo’s faces instantly turned red.

Neither answered.

After a moment, both quietly nodded.

Nana’s eyes widened.

"So you do!"

"Shut up!"

The sisters hurriedly chased after her.

Meanwhile, deeper inside the laboratory, Tyler was already busy with his work.

He wore a pair of strange goggles over his eyes while standing on a small floating stone slab. Several pieces of refined material hovered around him. With a wave of his hand, he melted them together before carefully shaping the molten material into patterns resembling formations.

The entire laboratory had become even stranger than before.

Countless objects floated in midair, seemingly unaffected by gravity. An enormous array was operating above the ground, altering the surrounding gravitational force and allowing materials to move freely through the air.

The Sky Demoness arrived at precisely this moment.

When she stepped into the laboratory and saw Tyler, she couldn’t help but stop.

She remembered how he had looked two months ago.

Now, the difference was obvious.

"Your presence feels stronger than before," she remarked.

Tyler glanced at her.

"Oh. I probably made a small breakthrough."

"A small breakthrough?"

The Sky Demoness’s lips twitched.

She didn’t bother questioning him.

Though she had suspicious, she just can’t point it out.

She glanced at the strange object he was constructing but couldn’t understand what it was supposed to become.

Instead, she went directly to the matter at hand.

"Congratulations, then. I agree to gather the materials you requested."

She smiled.

"To be honest, I originally intended to make you wait several years before handing them over. But after seeing what you accomplished with this building, I was thoroughly impressed. So I decided to help you obtain them earlier."

"Thank you."

Tyler gave her a sincere smile.

The Sky Demoness waved her hand.

"Don’t thank me yet. I’m actually curious."

She looked around the laboratory.

"You’ve already disrupted the low-level alchemy market with your pill machine. Then you overturned the flying boat industry. After that, your White Paper Crane changed the way countless people travel. Even the architecture of entire cities is beginning to change because of your Sky Towers."

Her eyes narrowed slightly.

"You’re slowly changing the world, Tyler."

A mischievous smile appeared on her lips.

"No wonder so many sects have placed bounties on your head."

Tyler remained completely calm.

"Then I suppose I should consider that an honor."

The Sky Demoness laughed.

"Perhaps you really are crazy."

Tyler simply returned to his work.

Behind him, the formation continued to rotate, and the strange project slowly began to take shape.

The Sky Demoness stared at it with curiosity.

For some reason, she had a feeling that whatever Tyler was preparing this time would once again shake the cultivation world.

"So, what exactly are you making?"

The Sky Demoness stood nearby, watching Tyler manipulate the strange materials floating around him. She had been observing his work for some time, but despite her considerable knowledge of alchemy and formations, she still couldn’t understand what he was trying to construct.

Tyler didn’t even turn his head.

"Something that will change the cultivation world."

Before she could ask anything further, Tyler raised one hand.

His spiritual sense spread through the laboratory.

At the same moment, Hazel suddenly appeared in midair.

She was not alone.

Several objects appeared alongside her, each wrapped in spiritual energy. They floated around her body for a brief moment before moving according to Tyler’s will. One by one, they flew toward different positions within the enormous formation.

"Move that one there."

Tyler pointed casually.

The object immediately flew across the laboratory and settled into the position he had designated.

Another object followed.

Then another.

Soon, the formation began to take shape.

The Sky Demoness watched this scene with increasing curiosity.

Tyler was clearly doing something extraordinary, yet he refused to explain what it was.

She smiled faintly.

"By the way, I’ve been thinking about something."

Tyler continued working.

"What?"

"I don’t think a sect like the Dark Forest Society can keep someone like you occupied forever."

Her tone became slightly more serious.

"Why don’t you join my sect?"

Tyler’s hand paused for the briefest moment.

He didn’t reject her immediately.

Instead, he turned his head slightly and asked, "What can your sect offer me?"

The Sky Demoness was momentarily stunned.

She had expected him to refuse outright. She hadn’t expected him to actually consider it.

A smile immediately appeared on her beautiful face.

"Materials, naturally. Whatever resources you need for your research, we can provide them. If you require spirit stones, rare treasures, or funds, the sect can support you."

Tyler finally turned around.

He stared at her for a moment before chuckling.

"Do I look like someone who needs funding?"

The Sky Demoness’s expression stiffened.

Tyler gestured toward the enormous laboratory around them.

The walls were covered with rare materials. Spirit stones were stacked in several corners. Strange artifacts floated in the air, and countless formations operated continuously.

Even without mentioning the White Merchant Group’s wealth, this single laboratory was already worth more than the treasury of many smaller sects.

The Sky Demoness couldn’t refute him.

Her cheeks puffed slightly.

"Fine. Then what about beautiful women?"

Tyler didn’t even hesitate.

"I don’t lack those either."

The Sky Demoness’s expression became ugly.

She had deliberately offered something she believed would tempt him, only to have him casually dismiss it.

She gritted her teeth.

"Then..."

She hesitated.

A faint blush appeared across her cheeks.

"How about me?"

The moment those words left her mouth, the entire laboratory seemed to become quiet.

Tyler’s hand stopped.

The floating materials remained suspended in midair.

Tyler slowly turned around.

For the first time since their conversation began, his full attention was focused on the Sky Demoness.

Tyler finally turned his attention toward her and looked her over from head to toe.

The Sky Demoness was undeniably beautiful. Her elegant dress accentuated her graceful figure, while her perfect curves made it difficult for even another woman to remain completely unaffected in her presence. There was a natural charm about her that seemed almost impossible to ignore, and the confident smile on her face only made her more alluring.

For a moment, Tyler simply stared at her.

The Sky Demoness raised an eyebrow, clearly pleased with his reaction.

"So?"

Tyler remained silent for several breaths.

Then, to her complete disbelief, he calmly turned back toward his work.

"I’ll pass."

The Sky Demoness’s smile instantly froze.
