The Human Giant



Noticing that he was the last person not on the sword yet, Yoze casually walked to the large sword with the Wasp Monster. Once he arrived next to the blade, he paused for a second before lifting his feet and stepping on the sword.

"Thud"

Almost as soon as he places some of his weight on the sword's blade, it dips slightly to the floor, causing Immortal Patty to frown. He glanced at Yoze's back and waved his hand to put more power into the sword, returning it to its original height.

Seeing that Immortal Patty had enough strength to support his weight and didn't plan to kick him off, Yoze silently sighed with relief and put his full weight on the sword. Like when he had placed only one of his legs on the floating sword, it rapidly plunged when Yoze forced it to support his full weight.

Even though Immortal Patty was able to quickly send more crystal energy to support the additional thousand pounds, he couldn't help but be slightly shocked at how much Yoze weighed. It wasn't only Immortal Patty, but everyone else couldn't believe that Yoze weighed so much it weighed down the sword.

The only reason that they believed it, in the end, was because they didn't believe that Immortal Patty was someone who liked to play harmless jokes with rogue immortal cultivators. They believed that if he played a joke on any of them, they would be almost guaranteed to die from a heart attack as soon as they found out.

It also helped that Yoze was a giant among men standing around eight feet tall and incredibly muscular. So they felt his weighing much more than regular humans was much more believable.

"Buzz!"

Seeing that the Colossus Sword was struggling to remain afloat with Yoze on its back made Lily the Wasp Monster do a twirl to show that she empathized with Immortal Patty. As someone who had to carry him for several days straight, she could understand the shock and pain he would experience.

"Let's go." After regaining his composure, Immortal Patty quickly adjusted himself and the path of the route he had planned.

Just as Lily the Wasp Monster heard that she was going to be abandoned if she didn't get on the sword, she opened her wings and used her quick speed to land next to Yoze before anyone could stop her. 

"Good girl, make sure to stay still the entire flight, or you might accidentally fall off." Yoze smiled as he rubbed his hands on Lily's soft hair.

After seeing that everyone and a monster had boarded his floating sword, Immortal Patty didn't speak another word and lightly jumped onto the sword's hilt. The moment his feet touched the hilt, a soft hum echoed from the giant sword as if it was pleased to finally have a direct connection with its creator once again.

Slightly waving his hand one more time, the recreation of the Giant's Last Sword almost instantly turned into a black ray of light that dashed toward the west, leaving the other immortals to deal with their travels. Just as Immortal Miessy was about to step forward and turn into stars to travel alongside Immortal Patty, she felt a hand touch her shoulder.

Without even needing to turn her head around, she instantly knew who it was and silently sighed, feeling that her regret of coming on this mission deepened further. Still, she knew that she couldn't afford to offend another immortal, so she politely turned her body to face Immortal Scotty.

"Missey, I would like to discuss with you a proposal that would greatly benefit both of us." Immortal Scotty gently smiled as he tried his best to regain the image that had been destroyed by Immortal Patty.

"Unfortunately, Scotty, just like I had told Patty, I am currently in a sensitive time right now and can't afford to help anyone. So I think you should give this opportunity to someone else." Immortal Missey quickly replied, hoping to swiftly end the conversation.

"I understand your circumstances and have no plans on asking for your assistance with dealing with any of my enemies. I simply wanted to ask you if there was a price I could offer you to buy your Star Map spell." Immortal Scotty slightly shook his head as he asked Immortal Missey in a calm and composed tone.

"Buy my Star Map spell?" 

Even though Immortal Missey wanted to instantly reject his offer to buy one of her most important spells from her, she remembered that there were a few things that, as an ordinary student of the Immortal Palace Sect, she was simply unable to get her hands on that would boost her strength immensely.

If she could get her hands on at least one of those secret treasures or secret medicines that were only provided to the sect's most important individuals, she felt it would be worth the price of losing complete ownership of one of her spells. This was especially the case if she never needed to provide Immortal Scotty with the updated versions of her Star Map Spell.

"May I ask you why you are interested in purchasing my Star Map spell? As you know, trying to purchase a spell that had been created from the ground up by an immortal is usually impossible."

"The amount of risk that I would have to take if I gave the core secrets of the spell could result in my enemies being able to figure out counterspells. It could also be that you can use my spell to derive the rest spell that I currently have or the spells that I will make in the future using Star Map as the foundation."

"So unless you inform me of what you plan on using Star Map for, I will not sell it to you, regardless of the price." Immortal Missey sharply told Immortal Scotty.

"Thank you for being so flexible, Missey. I simply want to use your Star Map as a reference to help me create a new spell since I feel that it has a strong foundation that I can build off of." 

"If you want, I can give you a copy of the skeleton framework of the spell that I am trying to create, as well as the finished product once I complete it. All I need is the current version, so you don't need to provide any updates or changes you made to the spell." Seeing that he had snagged her interest, Immortal Scotty struck while the iron was hot.

"If you are interested in the secret medicines inside the sect, I can use my connections to get them for you. All I need is the Star Map upfront."

"Let me think about it for a few days before I give you my response. This is simply a big commitment for me to make."

While Immortal Missey was extremely tempted to take Immortal Scotty's offer, she felt her heart clench when she heard that she would have to provide the details of her Star Map before she could get the secret medicine. Her mind raced to predict the millions of possibilities where this deal could go poorly for her and her life would instead be endangered.

"I chose to become a Living Immortal so that I can live for eternity. Why would I risk my life in this deal that can easily end up with powerful immortals making my life a living hell?" Immortal Missey thought to herself as she swiftly turned herself into dozens of stars and escaped toward the west.

"Damn it! I was so close!" Seeing that he had ruined this opportunity to gain a powerful spell with great potential, Immortal Scotty gritted his teeth in anger.

However, once he noticed that he had once again been left by himself, Immortal Scotty shook his head to cool off and sat on the ground. With a quick snap of his fingers, several of his red immortal tattoos entered his blank eyes, causing them to take a blood-red color.

As soon as his eyes completely transformed into their new, blood-red color, the image of a middle-aged man with a well-trimmed beard, pupils that took the shape of triangles, and didn't wear a shirt formed in his eyes. Seeing the familiar figure, Immortal Scotty felt some of the pressure on his shoulders evaporate as he felt much more relaxed.

"Father, we have completed the mission and are currently on our way back to the immortal sect with six new members." Immortal Scotty spoke out loud as he focused on his weak connection with his father.

Even though the picture of his father in his eyes was blood-colored, two-dimensional, and didn't transfer sound both ways, Immortal Scotty didn't mind since he knew he had all the time in the world to improve this spell. Right now, it was enough for him to send his father information and collect information long before other immortals.
