A Cultivation Tale: The Godly Punisher

Alex appeared in a large circular room. In this room which was round in shape and was enormous in size could be seen about thirty large golden doors.

"Temple-spirit, what's this place?" Alex asked.

"This is my master's treasure vault. The doors you see are doors to rooms filled with certain types and amounts of treasures" The temple-spirit nodded.

"Nice." Alex said. Then he asked "Are they open? Can I go in to see them?"

"No, you can't. Well, since you are in the half-step, earth adept stage, I can unlock the door to the room containing earth-rank treasures."

"Thank you" Alex said with a smile.

Then a door opened and Alex walked into it.

The instant he entered the room, Alex then felt like he was in another world. It was simply vast. It was so long and wide that Alex couldn't see to the end of it. Although he wasn't using the far-seeing power of the star-gazing eyes, only his powerful vision. But even if he used a vast-range, distance-looking ability of the eye called 'Inter-Planetary Vision' which wasn't available to him yet until a certain cultivation stage, it would take him quite a while to see the end of the room. It was like the room was another planet on it own.

Alex then saluted the treasure-forging grandmaster that compressed such a vast expanse of space into the room. His eyes then suddenly narrowed when he thought of the sizes of the other rooms which were filled with treasures for higher cultivation stages. He only shook his head and left the thought.

He began walking forward in the massive room which the sky was the ceiling. Beautiful, colorful birds could be seen flying about and chirping playfully. And with his powerful hearing, he could hear the flow of water. There were moving bodies of water like streams, rivers in this place. Alex shook his head in awe. He then felt peace and calmness in here.

'Beauty and serenity' He muttered inwardly.

This was a place he could come reside in if he wanted to stay away from the noises, pollutions and evils in the world.

Millions of trees were planted here and there. These trees had large canopies which were composed from colorful leaves.

As Alex walked forward in the room, he enjoyed the scenery of this place. It immersed his mind in calmness.

Then a thought flashed in Alex's mind.

'Where's the treasure?' He asked inwardly.

Then he proceeded to ask the temple-spirit what came to his mind.

"Temple-spirit, there is no treasure here"

"Look clearly and carefully"

That was what the temple-spirit said.

'Look clearly and carefully?' Alex questioned inwardly.

Then his eyes shone.

With an understanding of what the temple-spirit just said, he uttered "Let all illusions be gone" as he employed the illusion-dispersing power of the Heavenly Mystery Revealment eye.

The instant he did this, the scenery of the room vanished and he saw himself surrounded by a shocking amount of treasures.

Alex became awed.

Then he looked up and still saw the sky there. He began to wonder if that was a persisting illusion or a treasure-artifact

He then decided to do something.

"Temple-spirit, I want the sky" He said with a mischievous smile.

"You want that? Remember, I will only allow you to pick only ten treasure-artifact. When you have an achievement, only then would I allow you to pick ten more treasures" The temple-spirit said.

"Really?" Alex asked in an unsatisfactory tone.

He thought that he would have everything available to him. He didn't know that it was because he was the son of god-level experts that he could have the massive wealth he had.

At the moment, Alex wasn't happy with what the temple-spirit said. That was why he came here, to build his own collection of wealth.

But he wasn't too sad. Why? Because the temple and everything in it were his. He would get them sooner or later.

Thinking in this direction, he gave a smile.

Then he asked "The treasures in here are all peerless-grade treasure-artifacts, right?"

"How dare you belittle the taste of my master?" The voice of the temple-spirit boomed out.

"I am sorry. I was only asking" Alex said with a knowing smile. He had predicted the reaction of the temple-spirit. But he actually said this to offend it. Then he asked "Is there like a list for all the treasure in here? I want to pick the best and most suitable ones for me?"

"Yes" The temple-spirit said.

Then a prism appeared before him in the air, and in the next second, the prism which had begun to glow in a resplendent light shot a thin ray of light into Alex's head.

Once the ray penetrated into his head, it turned into a massive amount of information. The information that appeared in his mind were the names and abilities of all the treasure-artifacts in here, whether attack, defense or for other purposes

After going through about a few hundreds from the hundreds of thousands of names of treasure-artifacts that had appeared in his mind, he selected ten. But choosing these ten was extremely difficult for him as he saw a great lot that attracted him in the few hundreds that he came across. So he sadly chose ten, but with the thought that sooner or later, they would all belong to him.

"Okay. I have selected the ten I want" Alex said.

"Alright. Mention them" The voice of the temple-spirit rang out.

........

When Alex finished mentioning them, the treasures were given to him, including the one that seemed like the sky. He stowed them into his mom's spatial rings.

Since he was done here, he was teleported away again by the temple-spirit.

Alex then appeared far in front of the massive sword composed from a large river of swordforce energy. He saw the mighty sword and couldn't help but be awed again. It looked like the largest mountain in the realmverse. It was very enormous; about nine hundred thousand meters tall, five hundred feet thick and eighty thousand meters wide. So one could imagine the size of the temple if the sword could be as large as that. Although the temple wasn't as large as this from the outside, but the interior was extremely large that it would take up many mortal worlds and still have space for hundreds of others. The forger of this treasure-temple was a grandmaster of the power of space expansion and compression.

The sword which looked crystalline as it had solidified, emitted a space-ripping, mind-numbing power of sharpness.

From the far distance he stood, Alex asked "Temple-spirit, why are you showing me this? Am I also going to take this into the outside world?"

"You want it? Then go take it" The temple-spirit said with a strong hint of mockery in it tone.
