The Human Giant



As soon as the purple marble touched Yoze's palm, he felt that the aching of his crystal nerves increased. He felt as if his body was seeing purified crystal blue water for the first time while in a hot desert.

Only by drinking the glass of water could his thirst be quenched and his strength be regained to continue on the long walk through the sandy deserts. But, unfortunately, Yoze could only swallow his saliva instead of eating the Crystal Grape inside his hands as he wanted to test a few things beforehand.

When Yoze resisted the temptation and looked up to see the hungry and hopeful looks in every rogue immortal cultivator's eyes. Many of the strongest eyes with the strongest desires and hope came from the rogue immortal cultivators participating in the third trial.

Yoze knew those looks very well and knew that while they each knew of the danger that the third trial would have, they were all confident in their ability to survive. They each had confidence that only those who hadn't truly faced the horrors of this world would have.

As someone who knew that there were simply things that were impossible to prepare for, he knew that whatever preparation or skill these rogue immortal cultivators had would be useless. Most of them are simply tossing their lives away for the irresistible temptation of skipping a realm.

For the older rogue immortal cultivators who were on the brink of death, they felt that this was their only chance to survive long enough to become immortal. While others feel that if they didn't take this opportunity, they would be far behind the other students in the immortal sect.

After witnessing the brutal suppression that an immortal could face against another immortal, many wanted to obtain every opportunity to make them stronger and put them on par with the more talented immortal cultivators. As for whether or not they could successfully pass this trial where they were competing against other rogue immortal cultivators was less of a concern for them. As long as they survived, that was all that mattered.

While Yoze couldn't fault any of them for trying their best to change their futures, he couldn't help but view them all as future corpses. He already had a feeling that the arrival of the immortals was too suspicious. That feeling only increased further after that unexpected feud between the immortal called Patty and the immortal called Scotty.

He felt that conflict was planned and used to gather as much volunteer cannon fodder as they could before visiting their true goal in the Branch Forest. As someone who had most likely killed one of the students of the Immortal Palace Sect, Yoze had no desire to be part of their plan and no desire to join a test that he would not benefit from.

Rather he knew that by skipping, not only was he saving himself the headache of having to deal with the possibility of being put in a dangerous situation, but it also allowed him time to recuperate and reach the Crystallization realm and begin to incorporate his spells into attack style.

"Now that the reward has been allocated, we will now leave to begin the third trial. Miessy can you please help provide transportation for these people?" Patty said with a gentle voice.

"That is why I am here," The blue-haired female  immortal eyes glowed with a suspicious light as she knew that Patty was trying to lure her into his conflict with Scotty.

After Patty gestured for her to continue, Miessy stepped forward in her starry blue dress and lifted her arms into the sky. Then, without saying a single command, her immortal tattoos, which were in the shape of stars, began to spin around her arms at extreme speeds.

After allowing her immortal tattoos to reach the required speed, Miessy clapped her hands together, forcing her immortal tattoos to fly off her arms in a random direction in the sky. With her star-shaped immortal tattoos in the sky, they blocked the light from the sun in a ten feet radius, creating an artificial night sky that only contained her stars.

"Miessy, your Star Map technique is truly getting better. I can advise you on how to improve the quality of your immortal tattoos if you want. I just need a favor." Patty bluntly said to Miessy.

"I am sorry, Patty, but I want to continue creating my own path. Plus, I prefer quantity to quality, so I apologize for not accepting your offer." Miessy replied quickly before glancing at the pile of Scotty cubes that had yet to finish regenerating.

"No need to apologize, but my offer still stands if you ever find yourself in need," Patty said with a cold smile.

Miessy shook her head and could only silently sigh with regret from accepting this mission. She had only just finished constructing her Star Map and even was able to upgrade it to include offensive means. However, when it came to pure killing power, she was still far behind a Plot Immortal such as Patty.

She still needed far more time to continue developing herself and didn't want to make more enemies. She already had more than a hundred enemies that she needed to deal with, and adding Patty or Scotty to that long list would simply slow down her development.

So Miessy simply didn't say a word to Patty and snapped her fingers toward the crowd of rogue immortal cultivators. With a crisp snap, all the rogue immortal cultivators that had stepped forward turned into blue beams of light that flew into her Star Map, becoming small constellations.

As soon as the last person was added to her Star Map, Miessy retrieved her immortal tattoos and began to walk in the direction of the Branch Forest. After taking only three steps, her body began to crumble into blue specks of light that flew toward the Branch Forest at speeds up to several hundred miles an hour.
