A Cultivation Tale: The Godly Punisher

Actually, nothing bad had happened. It was just that Alex's organization had grown in size.

Now, it had way more cultivators than before.

When the palace arrived at Smith city, but in a place where no one would see them appear, Layla was teleported out of the palace.

Then using the treasure-mask that Alex gave her which she had reprogrammed, and a beast-drawn carriage which Alex stole from the City Lord's garage, Layla drove at a high speed back to her organization.

While Alex who appeared many moments after Layla had gone, stowed away the treasure-palace into his spatial ring.

Then also producing a beast-drawn carriage, he set out for his organization.

When he arrived there and entered, he saw new faces that he became shocked.

"Master, welcome" The new intakes and the old ones when they saw Alex walking in quickly greeted, while Alex nodded.

But he didn't ask any question.

It was good that his organization was growing.

Very soon, when he completes the task of having a specified number of cultivators, the World Domination Ultimate Support system would reappear to give him rewards for fulfillment of the task.

He went to his room and laid on his bed to relax.

"Now, I have been gone for two years. And I told Instructor Jennifer that I would be back before two years is over. It seems I have to go there so that her mind can be at peace. Also, I have to see Elena. I have missed her." Alex said with a smile in his face as he remembered Instructor Jennifer and Elena.

After he finished thinking about them, he looked inwards at his energyhouse and gave a broad smile.

"Now, I have another type of realm-energy. But would I be able to actually cultivate all the energies we have in this world? It's going to be really hard. Only a small number of them have been recorded in books. Vast majority of them still remains unknown and unrecorded. Perhaps I should start trying to get enlightenment to many realm-energies. That's what I have to do" Alex said and decided within.

Then he closed his eyes to enter his ultra perception state and use it sense or detect any form of realm-energy around him.

"I don't understand. Didn't he die at that lake? How come we are hearing that The Godly Punisher is back?" Lenna asked Maximilian.

"I don't understand too. Something is wrong somewhere. If we couldn't survive the pressure at that depth of the lake, how would be able to survive? Perhaps what we are hearing is fake. Some idiots must have created that rumor" Maximilian said.

Lenna looked at her brother and said "Brother, I have something mischievous that I want to carry out"

Maximilian looked at Lenna asked "Something mischievous?"

"Yes" Lenna replied.

"Then let me in on the mischievous plans that you wanna execute" Maximilian said.

"Nope. You just sit back and watch. You would hear of it soon" Lenna said and grinned while Maximilian shook his head.

His sister must be feared.

She was an extremely sly person whose plans are always to cause problems between people and societies.

- Three days later -

Alex did not actually leave his room.

Instead, he remained there trying to sense any form of realm-energy around him.

And because of the ultra perception state that he had entered, he didn't feel tired, hungry or be shook by the desire to sleep.

It was like he was above everything that had to do with mortals.

After sometime, Alex opened his eyes.

Then he exhaled.

'I got nothing. This is going to be very hard. Sigh' Alex complained within and sighed.

Then he stood from up from the bed and walked out of his room. And as he walked to the ground floor of the building he was in, he met members of his organization who reverently greeted him.

He simply nodded at them.

Not long, he appeared in the street, unaware of what was being planned for him.

"He actually survived. This guy is one hell of a bastard. But how did he do it? He always amazes me" One said to his colleague that was also watching Alex from far away.

"I don't know how he did it. He must have used some treasure I guess" His colleague replied.

"I think. Let's go tell senior Lenna who we saw. She would be very glad to hear that the fucker is still alive. I can't wait for him to get captured and be torn apart by Drille's sister. Haha!" One said and laughed wickedly.

Alex who was walking in the street was being gazed at by normal people and cultivators with admiration and envy in their eyes.

They wished they were the one that were born into such wealth and have his epic handsome look.

"Just look at him. So cute" A young lady who was a rogue cultivator said to her friend who was also a rogue cultivator.

They were buying some broken low-grade treasures from a treasure shop

"Yea. He's very cute. I wish he could just look at us. But he would never do so. We are basically nonentities to appear in his sight" The friend of the young lady that spoke said.

Alex whose hearing was unusually powerful heard what they said and gave a smile.

Then he looked at them as he walked past them and even waved at them with an heart-warming smile in his face.

The ladies saw what he did and could almost die from extreme shock.

"D-Did he just notice us? Or I am dreaming?" The young lady asked.

"I don't know if we are dreaming. But we definitely can't be in the same dream together." The friend replied.

"Then what's that supposed to mean? That he noticed us? He even waved at us, you know. That can only happen in our dream" The lady said.

"Yea, he waved at us. But we aren't dreaming. It was real" The friend replied excitedly.

"It was? Haha! I would tell this to everyone I know. I would tell them that The Godly Punisher waved at me" The young lady replied happily while her friend gave a delighted smile.

Alex was walking in the street to feel any of the bountiful energies in the world.

He wanted to perceive them and harmonize with them.

He had walked for an hour in the street until he turned to go to a forest that was very far away.

He was actually going to walk down there.

But he had a plan in his mind. And this plan was to self-comprehend woodforce energy and cultivate it when he fully understands the profoundness of the energy that is responsible for the growth of everything related to plants.

"You saw him? Like he's the one you saw and not some stupid copy of him?" Lenna asked bewilderedly.

"We don't know if that Alex we saw was a clone. But the one we saw should be the real Alex. The bastard didn't die at the lake. Perhaps he used some treasure to avoid death." One of the two boys that saw Alex said confidently.

"Good. You can go now. Your efforts wouldn't go unrewarded." Lenna said.

Then an evil smile appeared in her face.

"Time to expose you"
