The Human Giant



After waiting for a few seconds, Immortal Scotty was able to catch the lips of the image of his father slightly moving. At first, it was tiny and seemed as if the lips were glued together, but as time went on, his father's lips finally overcame the limitations of his technique and mouthed a few sentences.

After reading his father's lips, Immortal Scotty was able to decode his father's message and was shocked.

"I don't have much time. Currently, the Sect Leader is discussing with the Immortal Shadow Sect how to handle our dispute on who controls the Blood Pool."

"If everything goes right, we will be able to get a strong upper hand and convince the Immortal Shadow Sect to hand over their territory surrounding the Fog Mountain Range for control of the Blood Pool."

"Why would the Sect Leader consider that trade at all? The Blood Pool is an incredible resource for our Sect and allows us to quickly strengthen our bodies and even allow us to breed mass amounts of beasts."

"Fog Mountain Range might be closer to us and be easier to defend against the Immortal Shadow Sect, but we will not be able to profit from it." Though he was confused about the Sect Leader's decision to lose such a valuable resource, Immortal Scotty didn't argue with his father's information.

Given that the Sect Leader was more than a thousand years old and extremely powerful, he knew their way of thinking was simply on two different levels. He wouldn't be surprised that the Sect Leader wanted to make this trade because he wanted to refine the Fog Mountain Range into a weapon.

After receiving the news from his father, Immortal Scotty closed the weak connection between them, effectively ending their call. Since he knew that his father didn't like to hold back anything important, so if he wasn't told, he didn't need to know.

"This is going to be a stressful decade. I finally was developing some confidence in my spells and reputation. But that bastard Patty had to ruin everything and slice me up."

"Once this news spreads throughout the Sect, I will become a laughing stock, and people will assume that I'm weaker than I am. And my enemies may think this is a good opportunity to try to put more obstacles in my way to slow down my progress." Immortal Scotty sighed heavily and punched the air in frustration.

He had never liked Immortal Patty and felt that his attitude towards him was becoming more and more intolerable. As he thought about dealing with Patty, Immortal Scotty realized that someone he also hated still hadn't shown his face yet.

"Where the hell is Immortal Welse? He has been gone for the entire mission. He didn't even show up when we were taking care of the Mother Tree."

"Even though that bastard is sleazy, he isn't so lazy that he would forgo getting any credit for completing this mission. If he did, he would have to go on another mission instead, so there is no point in not showing up."

"Was he killed and injured so badly that he doesn't dare show his face for the rest of the mission? It can't be; even though the monsters were a little stronger than we accounted for, they shouldn't have been able to injure his True Body." Immortal Welse said with confusion clear in his voice.

Unfortunately for Immortal Welse's fate of ever being revived, Inmortal Scotty simply laughed at his misfortune and erased his concerns from his mind. He had too many worries to deal with finding out what had happened to another immortal, much less one he heavily disliked.

After clearing his mind and trying to devise another plan to strengthen himself and get more allies, Immortal Scotty clicked his tongue to activate his only transportation spell. In nearly an instant, his body transformed into a bloody cloud and zipped through the sky at incredible speeds.

A few days later, a black beam of light, beautiful purple stars, and a bloody cloud could be found racing toward a large mountain that was six miles tall. Though the mountain was ordinary and easily mistaken as a common mountain around the world, it hides one of the most powerful organizations in the world.

"Here is the headquarters of the Immortal Palace Sect." After arriving near the mountain, the black beam of light, purple stars, and the blood cloud stopped dead in their tracks.

As the black beam of light stopped, it transformed to show that on top of it were seven humans and one wasp-like monster. Six of those humans stood at the tip of the unimaginably large sword. They stared at the large mountain with curiosity in their eyes.

After traveling for a few days and being forced to halt his training, Yoze felt relieved that he had finally arrived at the immortal Sect and could use this opportunity to get stronger. Even though the trip was smooth, and he had learned a lot about the complex network inside Immortal Palace Sect, he still couldn't help but feel uncomfortable not training.

It felt like he was wasting time and not being more productive since he could be improving himself while also learning all this information. Still, he couldn't help but feel grateful for all the advice that Immortal Patty and Immortal Missey had given him throughout the trip.

And most importantly, their valuable talents that had made his mouth water. 

[Name: Patty Devi]

[Age: 400 years old]

[Talents: Crystal Nerves (Grade 7), Immortal Tattoo (Grade 3), Rapid Calculation (Grade 6), Investigation (Grade 4), Tea Making (Grade 1), Cooking (Grade 1), Story Telling (Grade 3), Weapon Creation (Grade 7), Concentration (Grade 8)]

[Name: Missey Drew]

[Age: 200 years old]

[Talents: Crystal Nerves (Grade 6), Immortal Tattoo (Grade 3), Rapid Calculation (Grade 7), Crystal Absorption (Grade 5), Reading Speed (Grade 6), Cloth Designer (Grade 4), Body Cultivation (Grade 2), Star Reading (Grade 6), Constellation Reading (Grade 4) ]

Though Yoze was disappointed that he couldn't upgrade his Crystal Nerves talent or Immortal Tattoo talent, he was pleased to see that they had some talents he hadn't collected yet. He was happy to upgrade his Crystal Absorption and Rapid Calculation talents to Grade 4 and Grade 6, respectively.

Not only that, he collected both Immortal Patty's Weapon Creation talent and Concentration talent, as he felt that those were going to be incredibly helpful in development in the future. The only thing that he was upset about was that his talent marks still had a few hours of the cool-down left, meaning that he wasn't able to collect more of Immortal Patty's and Immortal Miessy's talents.

"As you might have guessed, we are waiting for the Sect to process that our mission was a success before letting us in. Once that has been confirmed and we are inside, we will be heading out in our separate ways." Immortal Patty said coldly.

"Sir Patty, may I ask you for some advice on what I should do once we arrive inside?"

As soon as everyone heard the middle-aged woman dressed in a yellow suit ask Immortal Patty for advice, their ears peaked, and they turned around to hear Immortal Patty's advice as well. Yoze, in particular, was interested in how Immortal Patty was going to give his advice to Alosa, the middle-aged lady.

Throughout the trip, it was obvious to all the other former rogue immortal cultivators that Alosa was quickly developing a strong relationship with both Immortal Miessy and Immortal Patty. Whether it was her charming personality and quirky selection of clothing, she could easily make people like her.

So much so that even though Immortal Patty hated when others would ask him questions, he tolerated it whenever Alosa asked him a question. However, the method he used to deliver the information was different each time, as if it was a form of entertainment for him.

Sometimes Immortal Patty would answer Alosa's question by telling her a story and having her decode the hidden messaging. Other times he would create something similar to a movie and showcase the information directly.

There were even a few occasions he would carve the information into Alosa's skin and have her read it out loud to everyone. The last method was extremely painful for everyone to watch, but Alosa easily dealt with the situation by turning off her sense of pain.

Luckily for Alosa, it seemed that Immortal Patty would only resort to that method whenever he was annoyed with her. But as long as she was more careful with her questions and used the others as scapegoats, she was able to avoid those punishments.

So regardless of the method, Yoze and the others couldn't help but place all their attention on Alosa and Immortal Patty. As if trying to decide what method he was going to use, Immortal Patty stared at Alosa for a few seconds in silence before giving a response.

"I have a few words of advice for you and everyone else..."

"Make sure to keep your head from being cut off your shoulders."
