A Cultivation Tale: The Godly Punisher

Chapter 26: The boy in your possession

"Huh! Okay" he said after exclaiming in surprise.

"Fellow cultivators, thanks for the help you rendered to me and the sword, I wouldn't have been able to totally eliminate those bastards without you guys. I would like to head out now, we may possibly see some other time for good and then merry." Houston said with a smile.

They nodded and replied "Don't mention senior. We are also heading back" then they vanished from here.

With a thought, a large portal appeared before the both of them.

At the other end could be seen Houston's room. The portal revolved and drew close to them, swallowing up their figures, then they appeared in the room.

"So what was it you wanted to discuss with me?" Houston asked immediately.

His emotions were fluctuating.

"I didn't say everything I wanted to say back there because of the other cultivators as it's a great secret that no one else must know. My master, the purifier said that something is in your possession. A boy" the entity replied.

Houston shook.

"What? How did your master know about that? Was she also told by the voice?" he asked hurriedly.

"Yes. She told me to tell you, the recipient of the message that the boy should be made to realize his destiny. The sooner the better, or things could go awry very quickly." the sword entity replied.

Houston's brows furrowed, "Isn't that a bit too early. He's still young. How can I just pull him over and say, 'hey boy, the destiny of our realmverse lies in your hands, train well because in future you would be facing billions of adversaries.' Only that statement alone might shock him to coma. He wouldn't be able to handle it." Houston said with a bit of anger.

"Fellow cultivator, it's up to you. I have delivered the message I was sent here for" the entity replied.

It paused for a while looking at Houston who was very uncomfortable with the news and said, "My master wants to support the kid in all his endeavors. All her life savings including the wealth of that forging god are in an interspatial ring kept within a spatial dimension in the sword. The sword is also a gift to him, it's meant for his protection as I would be the one to safeguard him, that was what she tasked me with. Also, he would be able to utilize it when he reaches a high level in cultivation."

Houston only nodded. He wasn't happy at this news.

Then he looked at the being with a curious gaze, "What exactly was the purpose she went there for, how would she create time for him to grow?" He asked.

"She left the society hundreds of trillions of centuries ago to go into seclusion to cultivate. Then six months before now, she was summoned by that voice to use that treasure to move through the Great Divide to go to the world of the Sae-Uhl race." the entity replied.

"Then how was she able to fight with such overwhelming numbers of adversaries. Wouldn't she be slain at once by their attacks?" Houston asked.

"Don't forget my master is a Beyonder. Throughout the years, she had cultivated hundreds of unrecorded energies and had merged them into one energy she called the 'Purifier Energy'. With this energy, she put up a good fight with many of them and killed as many as possible before she was eventually overpowered." the entity proudly said, then in a sad tone.

Huuuu!

Houston took a deep breath, then he asked "How many are we talking here?" Houston asked. "More than you can possibly, exaggeratedly imagine" it responded.

Houston looked at the entity in shock.

It sounded to him like she eliminated half of them. Even the Star Lord, his Master, who was a Beyonder wouldn't be able to fight more than billions of such adversaries himself as thy were also powerful in their own right.

"There were many ways she was able to accomplish this. It wasn't by her cultivation power alone, she used voidstones that had powerful, ancient arrays in them. These voidstones were from that ancient expert she took the realm divide-traversing treasure from. Of course, the material used to forge the sword cannot handle the conduction of such great energies perfectly, so she used inscription orbs, these are rare I know but she had a large number of them which were also owned by that expert. So, that was how she was able to kill so many of them, reducing them in numbers... Besides, it was a quick sneak attack at full power and she didn't fight in the sky, she fought on the ground, wreaking havoc unrestrainedly, attacking them when they weren't on guard. She killed their children, wives, just about anything sae-uhl she could kill." the entity said proudly with a small laugh.

Inscription orbs (also called rune pearls) are small, dark crystal orbs or pearls formed by nature.

They can store symbols condensed from divine power by experts, called 'Grand Inscribers' who knows about divine inscriptions.

The symbols and characters in the inscription orbs won't dissipate, that is, the energy used to form them won't disperse and return back to the realmverse. They would maintain that symbolic form in the orb for as long as possible.

These orbs would absorb the energies from arrays or from the cultivators themselves and infuse them into the symbols they contain.

These symbols would project outwards in gigantic, solid forms. They would appear in the air like they were projected onto a screen.

Then these projections would fuse transforming into that attack the expert wants to produce after the cultivator infuses his comprehension of a battle-method into it.

They can undergo infinite, myriad transformations just to create that specified attack.

These are used to protect the treasure-weapons from shattering or damaging when energy conducts across them.

Even a tremendously great overload wouldn't shake the weapons that have rune pearls affixed into them.

...

While divine inscriptions are characters, words, signs, patterns formed from divine power, using divineforce energy.

Anything can be inscribed into, even the air, and can erupt great power. This is because they are formed from runes condensed out of statutes (basal energies).

The sizes of inscription matters. The power they can emanate can be determined through their sizes.

The larger the size of the inscriptions, the greater the magnitude of their destructive power.

This is because one could have thousands of runes condensed out of statutes of destruction and another could have millions of runes condensed out statutes of destruction.

The latter would come out with more power.

"Hmm. I understand now. She did that just to make null all that they had planned and give the boy time to grow before they recover." Houston said in a light of understanding.

"Yes" the entity replied. It paused and then continued "The wealth of those beings she killed are in the ring too, along with their bodies. That was why I was being chased back by a few of them that got through the opening in the Great Divide."

"Okay. Where is that treasure now?" Houston asked.

"It is with me. It's in a spatial dimension in the sword." the entity replied.

"Hmm... Alright. I would work on what you told me" Houston said.

Then the entity vanished and the sword shot to his front.

He took it by the handle and kept it into his interspatial ring.

Space warped around him and he vanished from where he was appearing in Alex's room.

He waved his hand and the mind-compelling energy dispersed. Then Alex's gaze returned to normal.

He looked around and asked in surprise, "Uncle, how did we get here? I remember we were outside and now we are here?"

Houston smiled, then he said "I did something to you, I used my soul cultivation powers on you. You remember that slit that appeared in the sky?"

Alex was shocked. Then he nodded. But he didn't believe what his uncle said about using soul cultivation power on him.

He wondered where his uncle was going with this.

Seeing his unbelieving face "I forced you here by using one of my soul abilities called mind-compel. Then I went into that slit" Houston said.

Alex rolled his eyes at him "Are you that powerful?" he asked with a smile that gave hints of mockery.

"No. But I am powerful" Houston said with a smile but seriousness could be seen in his gaze.
