A Cultivation Tale: The Godly Punisher

Chapter 25: The purifier

These attacks broke their concentrations as they tried blocking them, but they were a bit slow in putting up powerful defenses against the close range attacks.

The attacks, powerful in might, penetrated through their rough defenses and fatally injured them.

After a few attacks, the beings were slain.

Houston's body had reverted to normal and was speedily recovering from the wounds caused by his last attack as he had taken a god-rank recovery pill.

The sword, since no one was maintaining the entanglements, broke free of them and shot to Houston's side.

Then a being, the sentient entity controlling the sword, appeared before Houston and offered it thanks.

"Don't mention. We are together in this"

Houston said, then the control entity nodded.

The slit the sword made before their battle had vanished, it had long closed.

That was why the blast waves from the explosions couldn't leave here to that small world or it would surely be in ruins now.

The other human cultivators came over and the sword entity did the same to them, expressing it thanks.

They nodded, and once they sensed Houston's cultivation level, they were shocked and quickly greeted, "Senior. It was an honor to fight alongside you"

Houston smiled and amiably nodded. Je was without haughtiness which gave these people a good impression of him.

It was this same attitude he inculcated into Alex.

Then he looked at the sword entity, "What happened, why were you being chased by the people of the Sae-Uhl race? How did they cross over to our Realmverse?" he asked in a puzzled tone.

"It was all caused by my master, The purifier" the entity replied.

"The Purifier? Have never heard of him before" He asked again in a surprised tone.

After all the very long number of years he had spent, he knew many of the notable human cultivators. He just hadn't heard about the Purifier. And to him, he sounded like a powerful person.

"My master is not a 'he' but a 'she'. She was not popular because she was a recluse. She had no relationship whatsoever as she was committed to cultivation. She was in seclusion for years no one could possibly think of as she was preparing herself for something she felt was greater than popularity or fame. In her seclusion, she gained enlightenments to many unrecorded energies and cultivated them to a great stage, she merged them together to form an energy she called 'purifier energy'. Then she crossed through The Great Divide using a treasure belonging to an ancient expert which she discovered in a danger zone" The entity replied.

The Great Divide is a thick, quasi-membranous boundary that exists between two Realmverses.

It spans a distance that would take someone nine hundred thousand undecillion realm-years to cross, that is, from one realmverse to the next.

And one realm-year is one hundred and twelve thousand duodecillion years.

It was impossible to cross through the Great Divide as one's life span would end on the journey.

Only through a certain treasure called 'Realm-Displacement vessel' or 'Boundary-Blink Vessel' forged by the greatest forging god of ancient could this be made possible in this world.

But only one was forged, simply because of the materials used to craft it had been exhausted. It was the rarest of materials ever.

The Great Divide is like a membrane, it was thick and semi-permeable. If it did not permit the entry of anything, nothing would surely get through.

Only through treasures could this restriction be removed and those are the vessel-treasures used to cross the void.

The vessel-treasure, number one on the ranking of 'Wonders of the Realmverse' belonged only to that unsurpassed god of forging and when he died, it was in his possession.

No one discovered where he died or where he was buried.

It seemed the man kept his treasure so no one could use it and hold his beloved realmverse to ransom.

He just forged it to be something that filled him with a sense of unparalleled achievement.

Although, it had once been used to travel to the realmverse of the beings that always tried to invade their world to wreak havoc for retaliation.

So, one could only imagine the power of that ancient expert that directed The Purifier to the danger zone where the supreme god of forging passed away naturally in his meditation to get enlightenments.

The danger zone mentioned, like every other one is a region where an extremely powerful expert died in. Then the region was transformed into a deadly place by the cultivation power that continuously and endlessly erupted from the body of that primeval cultivator.

Only experts with high cultivation level and unique powers can withstand the totally engulfing, vastly destructive powers that lingered on indefinitely in such zones. Such zones are also called "Forbidden Zones".

"All these to achieve what end?" Houston asked with his brows furrowed.

"According to what she told me, she said she was called upon by a voice since she was little to pave way for something great to come, that it should be given time to grow. It was this voice that spoke to her when she was younger, telling her to train for a great purpose that would benefit every creature. She was shown a vision which made her accept. She left her family and the whole world behind to cultivate in seclusion." The entity replied.

Houston was more surprised now.

Then he asked further "What was that voice? Where did it come from?"

The entity thought for sometime, "My master despite her great cultivation level couldn't trace the source, but she guessed it must be the voice of a dead ancient cultivator that perhaps transmitted through time. That was her speculation but it could probably be true" it replied.

Houston brows wrinkled.

He had a feeling that something was Alex, then his heart shook.

If that ancient cultivator knew about Alex, then others would.

His mind roiled but he didn't show the state of his mind.

But then, he surmised that it was only a voice pointing the Purifier in a direction and the voice must have been transmitted from the distant past to the purifier, that cultivator may already be dead.

And even if the primeval cultivator is still alive, it was possible only he or she knew about Alex.

Peradventure there were others still alive too, only a handful of them might know about him and his vast inborn abilities.

Still, it depends on the ability they gained through cultivation of energies.

Then he thought that perhaps this expert successfully cultivated the greatly elusive destinyforce energy and fateforce energy to a god-level. These energies gave one the respective abilities to peer into great mysteries of the realmverse to understand how something works or alter it programming, and know the fate of something.

"Okay" Houston uttered as his mind returned to calm.

Then one of the other cultivators before him asked, "So what about the Purifier? Where is she?"

"She couldn't make it out but I feel she's still alive" It replied sorrowfully.

"Hmm. Am sorry about your master, she was a great and remarkable person. She fought alone on behalf of the whole world, she paid a real great price." Houston said then he bowed.

The others bowed too paying their respect to her. They were in this position for five minutes before straightening themselves.

"Fellow cultivator, I would like to speak to you about something" the sword entity said facing Houston.
