A Cultivation Tale: The Godly Punisher

Not long, they both separated from each other.

Then before Olivia could talk, Alex said to her "Olivia, I am here for something important"

"Oh. What's it?" Olivia asked in an interested tone.

"It's about a revelation I got. I have discovered the bastards who were behind the exposure of the secret affair between us to the public. It were also the same bastards that were behind the divulgence of the secret relationship between me and Layla to the world." Alex said in a cursing tone.

Olivia's eyes glowed in shock.

"Really?" She asked in an amazed tone.

"Yes." Alex answered.

"B-But how could you be so sure from a vision that you just got? What are you now? An oracle?" Olivia asked with her mind whirling in awe.

She however thought that Alex was kidding her.

Then she burst into laughter with the thought that Alex was only trying to entertain her.

But she stopped laughing in the next instant when she saw that Alex had a serious expression in his face.

"Wait, are you really sure of what you are telling me?" She asked to confirm if he was truly serious with what he said.

"Yes. I am very sure." Alex answered without any playfulness in his tone.

"But how did you do it? How were you able to discover the hidden identity of these people? Don't tell me you have now developed sagely powers?" Olivia asked in a curious tone.

Although she wouldn't have asked that question as she wasn't the nosy type and didn't like intruding into people's affairs, she just had to as she wanted to satisfy her curiosity.

"Well, something like that" Alex said with a smile.

Olivia shook her head with a light of awe and marvel in her eyes.

"So you can uncover the truth about mysteries of the realmverse now?" She asked.

Haha!

It was Alex's turn to burst into laughter.

"Nah. That's way too large for me to handle. At the moment, I can only pick up trails of people that I have the intention of seeking for. But I believe that in the nearest future, I would be able to do so." He said.

He knew that he was very still far from reaching that 'nearest future'. But when he eventually does, at that time, he felt that he would be able to easily master all the realm-energies there is, as the Heavenly Mystery Revealment God-eyes would quickly decrypt the profundities of the hundreds of realm-energies that he had the goal of understanding. He arrived at this thought when he used the revelation power of the eyes to know who was behind the disclosure of his relationship between he, Olivia and Layla to the public. At that point in time in his 'Oracle vision', he could see basically all the living things in the world from the sky like he was an all-seeing deity. Then he who didn't cultivate vitalforce energy or lifeforce energy could see the energy as it flowed in strong currents, weak currents and dying currents in the hundreds of millions of people that appeared in his vision.

"Wow!" Olivia exclaimed in shock.

She looked at Alex who then felt strange from the way she looked at him.

"Envious of my abilities right?" Alex said and broke into a raucous laughter.

Olivia gazed at him with a smirk expression in her face.

"Whatever. Even with all your amazing abilities, I am still far better than you, Alex. You are in the initial-phase, Earth Adept stage. While I am at the Sky Lord stage. Imagine that gap. You aren't my peer in cultivation. So, don't think your numerous abilities are useful before me if we go into a fight. With absolute strength which I possess over you, I will bring you down to your back with exceeding effortlessness." She said and crossed her arms, and then stared at Alex.

Alex smiled.

"I know, Mistress of Punishment. I know that you are stronger than me. That's why I don't ever want to go into a fight with you since you would simply bring me down to the floor and step on my pride with your heels." He said with a false expression of dread in his face.

Nailah who was busy going through the items that Alex gave her suddenly burst into unbridled laughter.

Olivia's and Alex's attention were abruptly pulled towards her because of her sudden laughter.

Olivia who knew why Nailah was laughing still tried to ask with a knowing smile in her face "Nailah, what's it? Why the unexpected outburst of laughter?"

"I laughed because of what my big brother said. Aunt Olivia, you shouldn't believe what he mentioned. If two of you go into a fight, he would rip you apart into a dozen places with a single punch" Nailah replied and laughed.

"Oh heavens!"

Alex face-palmed himself while Olivia broke into laughter.

"I know. I was only trying to mess around with your big brother" Olivia said to Nailah who nodded her head and then continued with what she was doing.

"She believes in your strength." Olivia said. Then she said further "I believe she would think you are a god"

Alex shook his head with a smile in it.

He didn't know what to say to that.

"So, what do you plan to do against those people? And who are they by the way" Olivia asked.

"I can't do anything to them. They are students from the Ancient Heavenly Cauldron academy." Alex said.

"Okay. So what do you really plan to do then?" Olivia asked.

"Actually, I am here to give you and Nailah some protective and distress-signaling treasures. I have a feeling that those guys, since they couldn't cause great problems between us and your family members so we could tear ourselves apart, would be orchestrating highly strategic moves against the people that I am related to. And that is you, Layla and my little sis if they eventually find out that I adopted her as my sister." Alex said.

Olivia nodded her head.

"Okay. Where are the treasures?" She asked.

"Here they are" Alex said as he produced two spatial rings from his dad's spatial necklace and gave one to Olivia.

"Nailah!" He called out.

"Yes brother?" Nailah asked as she turned her head to look at Alex.

"Here. Take this." Alex said and then threw the spatial ring in his hands at her.

Nailah caught the spatial ring in her hands excitedly. Then when she sent a wisp of her perception into it, she was amazed by what she saw in there.

"Nailah. Those items in the spatial ring are for your protection. I have an enemy who would come for you guys soon. So I want to prepare a countermeasure against that by giving you those protective and distress-signaling treasures which you must have at all time with you." Alex said.

Alex then said further "Do you see a blue necklace in that spatial ring? Wear it now. And never should you remove it from your neck. It's the distress-signaling treasure I want you to have. Once it senses any restrictive force that would suddenly come upon you, the array stored in the pendant of the necklace would send a distress signal to me wherever I am. Then also stored in a dimension within that pendant is a rapid, lesser-teleportation, full body armor. Anytime the distress-detection array in the pendant senses an antagonizing limiting force, it would immediately put out that quick, minor-teleportation armor without you having to do anything. Then you can use the rapid teleportation powers of that armor to teleport to hundreds of places in that same region in an instant. Know this, it can only cover about five hundred feet. That means you can only achieve rapid teleportation to many different areas within that five hundred-feet zone. Although it's not very useful, you can use it to stall for time for me to appear and remove the threats to your life."

"Wow. Big brother. Thanks for this gift" Nailah said.

Alex shook his head at her while Nailah knew she had said something wrong again. And it was the 'Thanks' in her statement which Alex didn't want to hear.

"Brother, it's still useful to me at my cultivation level. I know you would have given me one which would be more powerful than this. But because of my cultivation stage which wouldn't be able to handle or endure the aura of power that would emit from a treasure stronger this, just so my body wouldn't reduce into mist of blood, you didn't give me. But I think this should still serve it purpose. Therefore, it's still useful to me" Nailah said with glittering eyes.
