A Cultivation Tale: The Godly Punisher

Chapter 28: So that's why I'm special

He regained control of his elated mind. Then he asked "My fans? Who were those?"

Houston smiled and said "They are your parent's followers. You snatched them from your parent and they started worshipping you."

Alex was taken aback. Nothing he could remember when he tried to recall such. He smirked at his uncle. Not continuing discussions on the topic, he asked "What about my mom? She would surely leave things for me too right?"

Houston looked at him and said in a teasing tone "You want your mom's own too? Don't you know such amounts of wealths would cause you to swell with extreme pride?"

Alex gave a mtcheew before saying "Uncle, that's not what I asked you. Did she or not?"

Houston shook his head and looked at Alex with a smile.

Alex rolled his eyes at him.

"Alright. Your mom also left huge fortune for you. Being a forging genius, she spent most of her time forging treasures or treasure-weapons, and going in search of famed treasures of fallen ancient experts. Your mom was an adventurer. She always journeyed to forbidden zones for legacies of ancient experts. This made her collection of treasures, wealth in general, to greatly outnumber your dad's. She had many vast storage-treasures belonging to thousands of these ancient experts whom she inherited their legacies. These storage-treasures were forged by ancient grandmasters using rare spatial materials. These had the sizes of continents and were entirely filled with treasures. So you can imagine." Houston said.

"I can't imagine." Alex said with a smile that revealed his teeth which sparkled like gems as light shone on it.

"My mom was really something" he muttered.

"Yes boy. She was something, something great that gods and devils feared and revered. Can you reach that level? Where you would be respected by all?" Houston asked with a smile.

"Uncle, to be honest, I will do my best. Although their cultivation level was really high. I will do my best to attain it and greatly surpass it." Alex replied.

"Good" Houston said. Then he asked "What about their wealth? Would you misuse it and not go in search of your own?"

"No. I won't rely on the wealth my parent passed to me. I would build my own collection of treasures and accumulate my own wealth by going to locations where legacies of experts are said to be kept or buried. Although this would involve lot of deadly battles. But I am not fazed. Only through battles would I become powerful and famous." Alex replied.

Still looking at his uncle, he said "Uncle, very soon, my name would be mentioned in the continents of every worlds" Alex said with his fist clenched and raised above his head.

He said this in a resolute way that would awe gods themselves.

Houston was impressed.

"Just like your father. His determination was like a juggernaut spear, piercing through all" He uttered inwardly.

After hesitating for a while, he said "Alex, there is something I would like to call your mind to."

Alex looked at him and asked in an elated tone as he was still thinking of his bright future and already making plans down. "What's it?"

"It's about you... When you were very young, you showed great intelligence. At the age of one, you could already read and write. Just at that age, you easily learnt everything that you were taught and could likewise recall all. You had an excellent memory. Also, you could walk perfectly well. Your bones were strong as they could support your body's movement. You had this sense of balance and equibrium that no matter how the surface you were standing on was, you wouldn't fall. You were simply a miracle. Nobody could understand what was up with your body. When your parent called doctors to come test your body, they discovered to their amazement that you had divineforce energy and many other types of unknown primordial cultivation energies circulating in your energyhouse. These  unknown originforce energies couldn't be recognized by anyone, they were just moving around in your energyhouse. It was all these energies that altered the make-up of your body. You gained vast abilities because of these primordial cultivation energies. A few of these abilities you have shown. The others we don't know yet." Houston said.

Alex's mind roiled.

So that was why he was special.

It was all because of the cultivation energies in his body.

He took a deep breath and smiled.

His goal was slowly being realized. Now he was far more powerful than any body in the same cultivation realm.

He now believed that only someone in a rank or two cultivation ranks above his was his true opponent.

Seeing his smile, Houston said in a strict tone "Don't think because you have those energies you are invincible, you are not. You are not even a percent close to it. Any expert in two or three ranks above yours can easily squash you. If you aren't careful, someone in your cultivation stage would flatten your head. Everybody have their means of erupting tremendous power. It's you who should be careful and never ever underestimate anyone."

Alex nodded seriously. But he wasn't that foolish to think he was now invincible.

Then he vowed in his heart that he would reach that stage. "So uncle, how did such energies find their way into my energyhouse?" Alex asked in a solemn tone.

"Your mother once said she should be the one responsible for the structural alteration of your body. During one of her adventurous journeys to grow stronger by entering danger zones for legacies of fallen experts, she was accidentally exposed to large amounts of diverse cultivation energies from an expert she believed to be a beyonder. These energies permeated into her body. It took about six months for her to finally expel them from her body. At that point in time she was pregnant with you. Although she was exposed and saturated with the energy for a long time, it didn't remould her body. Instead, they made vast mutations to yours. Your very tiny body absorbed large amounts of these statute energies. It was greatly mystifying you didn't die. That's the only thing that remained a mystery to all of us. Then we guessed your body was a special body forged by the realmverse." Houston said slowly noting Alex's countenance.

When he saw Alex was taking in everything he was saying without problems, he continued, "Your father seeing that our realmverse still had hope went in search of legacies of ancient experts. During his adventures, he brought back a few eyes that surprisingly merge with your's."

Alex's eyes widened in shock. "What eyes were those?" he asked

"They were once normal eyes, but because they had been used to shoot powerful beams of primordial cultivation energies, they transformed into eyes that can produce phenomenal divinely powers. I won't tell you what those eyes are. But with time, you would discover them yourself." Houston replied.
