A Cultivation Tale: The Godly Punisher

Chapter 29: Uncle, are you kidding me? Hope of the realmverse? Nah!

"Huh?! Okay, did my dad remove their eyes? That's very gross." Alex asked in a disgusted tone.

" Why would your father do that? He respected every experts he came across especially ancient ones. He wouldn't mar their bodies or do anything to disfigure them, not even the bodies of his adversaries. Those experts removed their eyes themselves and kept it in preservation-treasures which they prepared as gifts for their inheritors, since they were already reaching the end of their lifespan. Your father inherited their legacies and brought it for you. I know you're curious, the ancient experts grew new eyes but it lacked the abilities of their former eyes." Houston said.

"Uncle, you mentioned 'the hope of the realmverse', what's that?" Alex asked in a puzzled tone.

Houston took a deep breath, "Here comes the hardest explanation" he uttered within.

"Uhm... Alex, since you are so special that no one can match you in terms of abilities, what can you think of yourself?" Houston asked.

"I see myself as unique and that I have no equal in any cultivation rank that I would be in." Alex replied.

"Good! Now to reply to what you asked me earlier. Since you are blessed with a lot of abilities, I can say that phrase or I should put it as a title, 'hope of the realmverse' belongs to you. You would be the one who would play the greatest role in protecting us all from the next invasion of those beings from the Sae-Uhl race. That's what I guess the realmverse prepared you for. That's what your parent prepared you for. So, it's time for you to prepare yourself. To take up the mantle as the 'Guardian of the Realmverse'. Those beings would soon invade again. And this time, I'm certain it would be no retreat no surrender. It would be a fight to the end." Houston said.

Alex only smiled.

"Uncle, it's either you are sick or you are kidding me. Even if am peerless, when would I reach that level? It should take me hundreds of trillions of years. And the invasion like you said it, seems to be happening anytime soon. Like in a year or five years time. How can I grow to that stage in just five years? When did the god-level become so easy to reach even if I possess vast, unlimited abilities? Besides, I am a cultivation aberrant. Uncle, you should be the one to be called 'hope of the realmverse', not me. I am not fit to have that title in any way" Alex said.

Houston smiled. Then he came close to Alex and rubbed his head affectionately. "I am not forcing you to be anything. But I hope that when the time comes, you would do your part. Your father prepared for this. Same with your mother, their friends and followers. You should prepare for this too. Although you are still young and have an insignificant cultivation level, it's just a matter of time before you surpass their cultivation levels and shock worlds with your tremendous calamitous power. True that you are an aberrant and would thus have a cultivation speed far lower than others. But I believe that with your parent's lifetime accumulations, you should be able to rise in cultivation ranks. Remember that your parent left behind millions of perfect-grade, myriad cultivation pills for many cultivation levels. So this should help you in your cultivation. Don't be worried in any way about being a cultivation aberrant. Like I once explained to you, it's a blessing. Not a curse." Houston said.

Alex nodded and said resolutely "Yes uncle. I would surely prepare for this. I want to avenge my parent. I would obliterate those beings when they try to invade again. I would decimate them all"

His eyes shone with unbridled fury.

"Those beings caused the death of my parent. Then I will prepare to destroy you all." Alex said inwardly.

"Good! Slay them all." Houston said.

Even if nothing else would drive Alex, this should drive him to train very quickly and reach that fated level before it's too late.

Alex then snapped his fingers and stretched that hand at Houston.

"Oh, I understand" Houston said and smiled.

Then he produced an interspatial ring and a necklace which he gave to Alex.

Alex quickly collected the ring and necklace and wore it.

The moment he wore them. They glowed resplendently and sank into his body. The necklace left an abstruse pattern in his chest likewise the ring, on the finger he wore it on.

Alex was taken aback then he smiled. He was surprised that the ring and necklace sank into his body and he smiled because when he sent a sliver of his awareness into the pendant of the necklace, he saw a vast space and in this space, he saw enormous heaps of treasures and great accumulations of golden sapphirstones.

The numerous stacks of golden sapphirstones were so great in quantities that they seemed to be a thousand times the size of a mountain in this world.

Such wealth got his head spinning.

Then he saw the palace-treasure his father stowed in here.

It was majestic and huge. It was so huge Alex felt his dad must have used half of his savings to have treasure-forgers forge it for him.

It was just too great in size. He had a feeling this palace would occupy an entire state if he brought it out of the pendant to the world.

Then he looked in his mom's ring and was smiling from ear to ear.

Truly, his mom's accumulation was greater than his dad's.

Then what he saw treasures and treasure-weapons. These awed and frightened him.

He quickly pulled out his awareness and looked at his uncle with a smile.

His uncle smiled back and produced a sword, the Purifier's sword. He gave Alex who was unknowing of what is uncle was giving him.

"What of my parent's families, is any one them still alive?" Alex asked stowing the sword away.

"I don't think so. A lot of people from different races in our realmverse died that day, many families were also involved in the war and have become nonexistent. About a million families were involved in the war at that time but are now extinct, your parents' families inclusive." Houston said.

Alex became sad and livid. So he doesn't even have family members.

"So what's your plan now?" Houston asked.

"To cultivate in seclusion and quickly grow stronger" Alex responded.

"That's good too. But you need more battle experience. You should go out there into the world to hone your battle experience while cultivating at the same time. You wouldn't become a great expert if you aren't bathed in the rains of battles. That's how your dad and mom, despite from mighty cultivating families, abandoned the wealth and fame of their families to go accumulate theirs and increase their battle proficiencies in the process. Be more than them, do more than them you sack of lazy bones" Houston said with a smile.
