World devouring divine body.

Sam was suspicious about the old man. How could he have a divine body. He was an orphan from birth as far he could remember. If not for being taken in by his master out of kindness, he would probably die in some gutter out of starvation never knowing about cultivation or divine bodies.

He lashed out at the old man. "Old man I was am orphan from birth. I don't even have a good talent for cultivation. It is difficult for me to even reach core formation realm. Now you are telling me I have a divine body and divine eyes. Don't joke with me with such thing. I will really get angry ".

The old man shook his head and sighed. He lamented at the fate of this young man. If he was born in a place where cultivators were stronger, any stronger being would notice his birth. Sects would treat him like their ancestors and provide all sorts of treasures to help him on his cultivation. Different ancient kingdoms and families would come to him to propose marriage with their most beautiful and talented daughters.

Yet, here he was. Not even aware that he was born with a divine body. He was even finding it difficult to accept the fact that he had a divine body.

"Young man, were you born in mortal world?"

Sam nodded his head unsure of how to reply. He had difficulty accepting the fact he had a divine body. The place of birth seem like a trivial matter to him.

"No wonder! No wonder". The old man said to himself. This young man had to be born among mortal. Otherwise, even weaker cultivators would know that the Sam was extraordinarily from his birth. Usually, the birth of a divine body was accompanied by heavenly phenomenons. Auspicious red clues would appear in the sky and the chants of Phoenix and roars of divine dragon would resound in the sky. The whole sky would be decorated with divine light to signify the birth of a divine body.

He looked at the young man before him and sighed gain.

"Young man, a divine body is a gift from heaven. If I am not wrong, you have been born with a world devouring divine body? "

Sam was still not convinced by the oldman's word. He was knowledgeable, sure. But even wisest sage could make mistake. But he was still hopeful about having a divine body.

"Old man, what is this world devouring divine body that you are talking about capable of?"

"Don't be discouraged so easily young man". The old man said as he could easily see through the thoughts of Sam. "If I remember correctly, A world devouring divine body could devour everything under the heaven. It isnot your dantian that is special, it is your whole body. A person with world devouring divine body could devour everykind of energy that is present in this world and turn them into their strength. They could even devour luck from auspicious places. As you have not even formed a core, one could easily see through your divine body. But after reaching core formation, no-one could recognize it so easily. Luckily you met me".

After listening to the old man, Sam remembered about the time he absorbed life essence energy. He could feel that absorbing it was just natural to him at that time and even had ideas about the death energy of the ruins of abyss.

"Old man, I have once absorbed life essence energy due to luck and formed a special kind of essence core. Is it due to my unique body? "

The old man nodded, "Like I said earlier, you can devour anything. At this realm of cultivation, you have to from unique essence core that could help you later. You have try to absorb special kinds of essence energies such as space essence energy or time essence energy, which are unique and provide you special abilities. But it depends on your luck. At least try to absorb all kinds of essence energy while maintain a balnce".

"What about the death essence energy?"

"I guess, you have also realized about your unique constitution. You can absorb the death essence energy too. You said you already absorbed life essence energy then, absorbing death essence energy would be perfect. Life essence energy and death essence energy are opposite of each other yet they exist peacefully in the nature. Where there is life, there is death. If one day you could combine the both then, you will have a good trump card up your sleeve. You should visit the ruins of abyss after you leave".

Sam was excited after hearing it from the old man too. He was sure that he could take a significant leap in his cultivation after visiting the ruins of abyss.

sam thanked the old man again. He wasn't sure how could he relay this debt of gratitude to the old man. He told him so much thing that could make his cultivation path easier.

"Just take care of that boy for me in future. He is talented and gifted with talent like yours. He will probably be your only friend who could keep up with you without slowing you down. With your special gift, most of the friends you make will be left behind while you continue forward on this path of cultivation. So, be prepared for it earlier".

Sam engraved the words of the old man deep inside his heart. Everything the old man said had some deep meaning.

"What about my eyes? You said they were also divine eyes, right? "

Sam had not forgotten about his eyes. He always felt that they were special but he could not point out their uses. He wanted to know about them too if he could.

"Divine eyes are very special. People who are born with divine eyes usually can't even recognize them because divine eyes are usually in dormant state. They awakens when the conditions to awaken them are fulfilled. As for the conditions, no-one knows. Most of the people awaken their divine eyes in life or death moments".

"Divine eyes all have their unique ability. It could be anything such as sealing ability, mental attack, illusion ability, etc. The possibilities are countless. I noticed that you were able to copy moves from others with the help of your eyes. So, your eyes might have similar ability. But, you are putting strain in your eyes before they have even awaken. Restrain yourself from using your eyes before they awaken".

"Thank you old man for your advice. I will try to follow it".

"I forgot to ask you before but you never told me about this guy that you want me to bring out".

The old man put his hand on his head as he instantly felt a headache coming after just thinking about that boy.

"His name is Sanchez. He is a bit older than you physically but mentally, cough.. I would say he is like a child. He looks cold but he is kinda caring. He has bad temper specially if someone he cares about is involved. It is difficult to get close to him but once the boy warms up to you, he will do anything to protect that person. That is the kind of person he is".

"And that is also the thing that worries me the most. People are devious and hide their thoughts behind their smile. He has only interacted with undead like us who arenot really adept at such things. I just worry about him. It would be sad if he trusts somebody only to be played around and manipulated by that person. I trust that such thing would not happen with him around you".

Sam chuckled. The old man was not just telling him to take care of Sanchez but also reminding him to not manipulate him. After all, the world was a scary place. A person's heart was the most difficult to decipher. A person could control his mind but not his heart. A heart wants what it wants. Scary thing was it could be anything.

"Old man, you don't have to worry about that. I, Sam Desvons, amnot the kind of person who treats my people badly. But, I have to tell you in advance, if this Sanchez is not like you said and ever tries to harm anybody close to me, I will kill him myself".

sam was still smiling but his eyes were as sharp as swords. The old man did not doubt the word Sam uttered a bit. He could see that Sam had a line to distinguish between people. One side of the line were his friends and other side were his enemies. He didn't have any consideration for those neutral people.

"Don't worry. Sanchez will not harm anyone unless they target him first. I have taught him about such things. So, you will not have to worry about him".

"So, where is this Sanchez person?"

"He is not here. He usually cultivates in the ruins of abyss where death essence energy is the densest. Right now, people from outside world have come so, he might be playing around".

"Ruins of abyss. I have to pay a visit to that place. If possible, I would like to enter it's depth and see what is inside".

The ruins of abyss was one of the four most dangerous area. It was the unexplored region. Thus, Sam wanted to be the first to explore it. Being the first person, he would also be the first person to face all the difficulties but he would also gain all the benefits alone.

Sam stayed with the old man for a few days. He learned a lot about the outside world from the old man. The old man gave him his insights and knowledge as Sam soaked it all like a sponge soaking in water. He would always remember this place and the old man with kind face.

Finally, it was time for him to leave. He said his goodbyes to the old man as he left by melding in the shadow.
