No Regret

When Alex spoke these words the star mark in his right hand suddenly started to shine.

One of the star marks on Alex's right hand soon disappeared and a star shot out from his right hand like a shooting star.

It shot towards Dave Devan and entered into his ring which looked like a coiled dragon. This is a space ring that is Earth grade treasure.

The rank of treasure is divided into three ranks. Treasures used by levels 1-3 are called Mortal Grade which has three ranks namely Low rank, Medium rank, High rank.

Treasures used by Level 4-6 are called Earth Grade which also has three ranks namely Low rank, Medium rank, High rank.

Treasures that are above Level-6 are known as Spirit Grade treasure.

The space ring is a special treasure made by space ores. Even the lowest space treasure was Earth Grade treasure.

Inside Dave's space ring was packed with lots of books and some consumable treasures. At the end of the space, there was a wooden box inside which there was a pill with a rainbow pattern on it.

Soon a star mark appeared on the pill and soon submerged into the pill. The action of the star was not seen by anyone. Even Alex was not able to see the movements of the stars.

Without the knowledge of what happened, Alex and Dave continued their conversation for half an hour. Soon their conversation comes to an end.

"All right, Alex it's already night, go and have a good rest. I will go and meet the physicians to thank them for their hard work. So after having your dinner come to my office room, I will give you guidance about the pill." after saying this Dave turned around to leave.

Soon Alex shouted "Father".

Dave stopped on his track and looked at Alex and asked.

"What's the matter kid".

Alex didn't speak, he got up from the bed and moved towards Dave. When he came close to Dave he tightly hugged Dave and said.

"I love you, Father".

Hearing those words a heartfelt smile appeared on Dave's face, and he spoke.

"I love you too" Dave kissed Alex on his forehead.

"Go and take some rest" after saying this Dave walked out of the door.

.......

Dave Devan stepped out of the room and looked towards Lark and said.

"Lark you go and send the physicians with rewards for their hard work. Then take your team and escort the royal physician back to the palace and give this letter to the Emperor and tell them I will visit the palace in two days." Dave took a letter and gave it to Lark.

After giving various other instructions, Dave soon returned to his office. He had a happy smile hung on his face.

"You look so happy, what's the occasion, Dave Devan".

Suddenly an illusionary female figure appeared behind Dave Devan's back. Dave seems to be not surprised by the sudden appearance of this female.

"It's because my son has finally grown up and started making his own decision," Dave spoke without any change in emotion.

"Grown-up?? That kid??"

"Ha ha ha ha ha"

"The kid who took the forbidden pill suddenly became a grown-up?"

"Don't make me laugh. He originally had a 50% chance by taking the ancient pill. Now because of his stupid action, he has only a 10% chance to become a cultivator."

"Do you know how many dangers we have faced to collect all the ancient medical ingredients? If that kid failed then it means he can never become a cultivator. Because most of those ancient medical ingredients are originally collected from that place 17 years ago. So now I won't be even able to refine a second pill."

The illusionary female lashed out her anger. She is the one that refined the pill for Alex. It means she is the one who refined the heaven-defying ancient pill which was originally impossible to refine.

Dave's face still showed an indifferent expression and said.

"Calm down Lara, it's not like Alex can become a true cultivator even if he can step into Essence gathering realm. He can't even sense the essence of heaven and earth, that means he won't be able to use the essence efficiently like others. More importantly, he can't learn martial art techniques to enhance his combat abilities..." listing the problems Alex had to face even after becoming a cultivator made Dave Devan sad.

"A man who can't even sense the heaven and earth essence, even if he steps into Earth Profound Realm won't be able to resonate with the world. It means he can't understand the concept of nature. This means he will be the weakest Earth Profound Realm. More complications arise as he reaches a higher realm."

"They don't call it broken martial path for nothing, at every turn you will feel desperate, at every realm you will find problems and at the end, it will eventually break your will to become stronger. From birth to death the heaven won't acknowledge their existence." When the illusionary figure completed the words Dave spoke.

The illusionary figure felt extremely sad after listing Alex's issues. Dave too had a very sad expression making the atmosphere feel like depression.

Soon the illusionary figure looked outside the window and sighed.

"Heaven's are unfair, what kind of sin did that kid do to get broken soul deficiency. I always resented you, Dave, for giving him false hope and making him have a dream that can never come true. It's all your fault." The illusionary shadow started to shout at Dave to the point where tears flowed down her cheek.

Dave who sat on the chair didn't even turn to look at the illusionary figure, from the beginning he kept staring at the empty room. The emotions of the shadow affected Dave Devan, still he had his indifferent expression.

Soon Dave closed his eyes and spoke.

"Maybe what I did was wrong, but I don't regret any of my choices. Even if I can turn back the time I will still make the same decision. I still remember the day he was born, his mother cried her eyes dry when she found out he has a broken soul deficiency. She blamed herself for destroying her son's life. That day I promised her and myself that no matter what I will protect my son."

"The result of our 17 years hard work, we shall see it tonight," Dave said with a serious expression.

"What if he failed to become a cultivator." The illusionary female asked.

"Since he believes in himself then I shall believe in him too. The chance of him becoming a cultivator is 100%." Dave said.

"That kid better become a cultivator tonight if not I will personally show him what is hell. But it was a rare sight to see you praise your son?" She asked.

"Even though he made a mistake in the end he still lowered his head and admitted his mistake. Till now making a cultivator was my dream but from now on becoming a cultivator was his dream. He is no longer a child, he already has the heart of a cultivator." Dave said with a smile.

"He is no longer a child? For 17 years he can't even get rid of his fears towards bugs, is he no longer a child to you? Do you still remember what he did when he was 15 a small bug entered his room and sat on his face? That kid soon started shouting till his throat went dry, that day I realized that he has a strong voice for him to alert the entire mansion just by his shout." The female giggled remembering the past incident.

Dave Devan got displeased when he heard her laugh at her son, so he said.

"That was an old story, now he is calm and can distinguish between right and wrong. He was not a child who still shouts out loud when they get anxious, I believe he can handle any problem with a calm mind..." before Dave finishes speaking a loud shout swept through the entire mansion."

"MY BUG!!!!!"

Dave Devan "....."

The female figure suddenly busted into laughter.

"Ha ha ha ha."
