A Cultivation Tale: The Godly Punisher

Chapter 5: Alex's generosity, childhood friend

Alex rolled his eyes at him "Well, I am here now." He said.

"Okay. So, what are you here for?" Houston asked.

"Well... I am here to ask for another cultivation manual, I want a Trinity Methodology A-grade one." Alex said shyly. 

His uncle's ears twitched, he didn't hear right.

"Alex. What do you need that for? Practice that one I gave you to a level before you come for another." Houston said in a perplexed tone.

Alex smiled, he knew his uncle was going to say this.

"Actually, I am not asking for myself. I am asking for a friend." Alex replied in a begging tone.

"Oh, if not for that you wouldn't come to me. I would see what I can do about it. But it's not certain I can get you a trinity methodology." Houston replied.

He couldn't believe Alex.

Anyways, he took it as Alex being still young and naive. He was just twelve. What would a twelve years old know? He wanted to start giving out such expensive and rare methodologies.

But Houston couldn't blame Alex for his generousness ability as it was an habit impacted into him. He was the one who inculcated this habit into Alex. He always told him to give to people things he realizes they lack. 

Actually, Alex although was generous, he didn't really see it as anything bad in giving a methodology to Kate. She was his childhood friend. They had grown up together and had developed this tight bond. Since he would be cultivating very soon, he wanted her to cultivate too. He wasn't thinking for himself in this regard. He was thinking for her too.

Since she was his tight friend and that they had grown up together to develop this deep mutual feelings for each other, he wanted her to become a god too just like he desired. A god-like female experts that would move mountains and oceans. 

Alex nodded his head happily when Houston agreed to his request. 

Then he remembered his dream about that expert. In that dream he saw thousands of worlds of different sizes.

This deeply astonished him and so he wanted to know how many worlds there were in space.

"Uncle, if I want to journey far in future, tell me about the worlds we have?" Alex asked with a smile.

"Hmm. That's a great plan. I myself have always dreamt to travel to many of these worlds to have rich experiences about them. Well, from my study, we live in a world out of countless numbers of worlds. The totality of these worlds is called the Realmverse or in mundane term, 'Sea of Worlds.' These worlds, which can also be called planets, have their own suns which illuminate them. These worlds, depending on their sizes and richness of cultivation energies can be classed into Greatverse, Oververse, Underverse and Planeverse..." His uncle began to describe the worlds for him.

In this realmverse, there are four types of worlds. These are

- Greatverse,

- Oververse,

- Underverse and

- Planeverse.

They are listed in decreasing order of sizes, abundance of cultivation resources and energies, and ultimately, the strengths of the experts that inhabits them.

Greatverse is known as the Great World or Grand World. it's where primeval experts are found. These experts are super-existences, fearsome god-like beings.

Limitless amounts of consummate cultivation resources are found in this type of world and cultivation energies are richly abundant in this world that they don't need cultivation pills.

These worlds have a radius from seventy-five octillion square kilometers and above. There are hundreds of thousands of Greatverses and each of them are very distant from each other.

To give a precise figure, they are about thousand duodecillion kilometers away from each other.

A Greatverse is ruled by a Revered Great Cosmic Emperor, an apex primeval expert, but this position is contestable.

Oververse, also called Major World have few primeval experts and other frightening experts just a rank below them. These experts are numerous as sands in the deserts.

Oververses have a radius from fifty septillion square kilometers to ninety septillion square kilometers. There are millions of Oververses.

Each Oververse is ruled by a Worldrealm Overlord. The position is also contestable.

Underverse, also known as Minor World has a a radius of ninety-two sextillion kilometers. Numbers of experts are extremely vast too. Sage-realm experts are nothing in this place. There are tens of millions of it. Each Underverse is ruled by an Underverse StarLord.

Planeverse also called Mortal World is the world mortals live in. Cultivation resources are very scarce and cultivation energies are very thin, in terms of richness (density).

Grand Saint Emperors are the proud peak experts here.

But despite it being an insignificant world, legacies of ancient experts would appear here from time to time. These ancient experts prefer to give their legacies to people from this kind of world, people not corrupted by the aura of affluence, position, haughtiness and aloofness exuding from powerful experts from super families.

They hate the idea of given those lordly or amoral cultivators from those kind of families their inheritances.

Some of these inheritances could be easily received or one would have to go through a series of tests to prove oneself worthy of the inheritance.

The radius of this world is about seventy-three quadrillion kilometers and there are billions of Planeverses. Each is ruled by a Mundane Versal-Lord.

In each of these worlds, there are continents.

These continents could hold hundreds, thousands or millions of 'Regions' depending on their sizes.

In each of these regions are 'States,' where at least, thousands of it could be found in a region.

Numerous cities, about hundreds of them are found in each state.

These cities are presided over by city lords, a state by a governor, a region by a region master or states-master and continents by continent chiefs.

All these worlds make up the realmverse which is ruled over by a Realmverse Great Sacred Lord.

But no one has ever had this title since the beginning of cultivation.

It's just impossible.

It's more like the ultimate apex of cultivation which absolutely can't be reached.

Alex's eyes glowed in amazement.

"Wow! Limitless. Well, their numbers don't scare me, I would journey through all of them in future." Alex said.

"That's the spirit. Just believe in yourself boy." His uncle replied.

Alex nodded his head as he gave a smile.

"Uncle, tell me more about divine beasts" He said.

Those beasts he always sees in his recurring dreams feels like divine beasts to him.

They had great, frightening power.

The beasts were as large as moons and some as a small world. They were incredibly fearsome and radiated a powerful presence.

He could still remember vividly those feelings he had in that dream despite his far distance from those warring beasts.

His uncle smiled, then he said "Divine beasts are winged, quadrupedal creatures that when they appeared in the world, they had a cultivation base at the celestial beast realm and above. This type of beast could shift from their beastly form into a human form. They lived amongst us and you wouldn't be able to differentiate. They ate what we ate, drank what we drank, spoke like us, you wouldn't notice this unless they change back to their beasts forms. We humans have long accepted divine beasts in our society, there were many human male cultivators that have married beasts or dated them and vice versa. Many human female cultivators and female divine beasts produced offsprings from their marital union with beasts and humans respectively. Such offsprings were hybrids, progenies that have beast-related bloodline abilities and can cultivate either body, soul or energy or all three. Their cultivation progresses incredibly fast than that of humans. These divine beasts when they first appeared formed a family with humans or other species of divine beasts, and beasts that belonged to their own species. There is a book I would give you later that has all the names of the divine beasts that has ever appeared in the Multiverse. Their abilities and their rankings are included. Alright, I think I have spoken enough. It's time to resume your cultivation. It's extremely paramount." Houston stood up and dragged Alex out of his room.

Alex shook his head in displease.

Then he went back to his room.

He ruminated on what his uncle said for a while before closing his eyes to resume his cultivation.

Alex continued his triangular lifestyle for the next three months. During these period, he broke through to the middle-phase entry stage.

He had always been in the mansion cultivating and comprehending one battle or speed-method, and in the forest practicing the techniques listed in the wind element trinity methodology.

Also, during this period, he had spoken to Kate and the other beauties in the mansion.

He had given Kate a cultivation manual, it was a Supernal Battle Entity-grade (A-grade) Dual Methodology titled "Great Cosmos Incineration Methodology: Thousand Worlds Burning Flame."

She was shocked by the tyranny of the cultivation manual and by Alex's uncle's generosity.

When Alex gave her the book, she gave Alex a long, sweet hug and a kiss on the cheek, and went to Alex's uncle offer her thanks.

** A particular day **

He decided to step out of the mansion to practice. He had a place in mind and this was the Red Lotus Cave.

It was a really deep cave at the base of a mountain. It had many labyrinthal routes and each routes had red lotus flower growing in it. This was why it was named the Red Lotus Cave.

No one knew why it was only producing red lotuses but these flowers were miracle flowers to mortals.

It had good wound-healing abilities and the scents they gave out could pacify the mind.

But beasts had chosen this cave as their abode. Beasts from the wild-beast realm to the saint-beast realm could be found here but at a great depth in the cave.

This Red Lotus Cave was popular to everyone. People do venture in to kill these beasts for their skin which could be made into treasures such as armors. Their skin are very durable.

While others go in there to capture the beasts and raise them as pets that can become battle-pets later.

- Houston's room -

"Uncle. Please, I promise to not go too deep. I only want to gain battle experience. I am tired of practicing with those trees. They are unmoving and can't attack. How am I supposed to develop good battle prowess when my opponents can't attack and can only explode? So, since I don't have a sparring partner, I could make use of the beasts to develop myself in battle. I want to experience real combat." Alex pleaded with his Uncle.

"It's not that I won't allow you. It's just extremely dangerous. I am scared you may loose your life." His uncle tried to impact reasoning into him.

"Uncle, I know. That's why I wouldn't venture too deep. I promise."

Ai!

His uncle sighed. "Alright. You can go but make sure not to go in too deep. There are terrific ravenous beasts in those places, although less intelligent, they hate humans, a lot. So be careful kiddo." Houston said.

Alex nodded, then he set off.

He left the estate owned by his uncle and journeyed into the wilderness.

He arrived in the wilderness in one of the ultivehicle his uncle owned.
