The Human Giant



Alosa's name seemed to spread like a virus as new immortal cultivators quickly heard of her good name. Even without meeting her, many immortal cultivators developed a favorable impression of Alosa.

As for how she was able to do it, Yoze had no clue, but he was grateful that the usefulness of having such a wide network of connections was already proving useful. Just an hour ago, Alosa had knocked on his door with news that the Immortal Shadow Sect had left.

Not only that, all the Ten Shadow Lords were covered in deathly wounds as they struggled to stand up on their own two feet. With how powerful of an impression Geo had on everyone in the Immortal Palace Sect, it led to a massive shock.

All the immortal cultivator's minds instantly snapped toward the Ten Kings, only to find out that they had all closed their doors and kept information about their well-being a secret. It became obvious to everyone that they must have fought one another in a secret tournament, but no one knew the results.

"The Ten Kings have closed their doors to recover?" Yoze frowned as he realized that his plans for meeting them and copying their talents would have to wait.

Having been living in the Immortal Palace Sect for the last week, he had discovered everything he needed to know to buy his own home. To qualify to buy a house, one needed to have at least five Sect Points and another Five to buy a decent place.

If immortal cultivators wanted to buy a home, they needed to have at least ten Sect Points, which was a huge amount. It would take most immortal cultivators decades of saving to be able to afford those prices.

That was why even though most immortal cultivators would like to live in their base, they would prefer to stay inside the inner City and live in the apartment building and hotels. However, Yoze didn't mind that he had to pay an extraordinary price to have a base since he had already steeled his heart to pay a huge price.

With a strong desire to buy at least three bases for himself, he would need at least 20 Sect Points. And at least 30 Sect Points if he wanted to have some of his bases far away from the City.

It was so many Sect Points most immortal cultivators would never dare to imagine themselves owning that much. It was only an amount that immortals would slowly gather over the years and spend at once when they needed to buy an expensive treasure.

"Now that the opportunity to copy the top ten strongest immortal cultivators in the Immortal Palace Sect is over. I should focus on getting enough Sect Points so I can create a strong foundation in the Sect."

"Others might struggle to collect that many Sect Points, but for me, it's only a matter of time." Yoze thought to himself.

Knowing that he had to stick to missions that he could reasonably accomplish with the level of strength he had displayed in the tournament, Yoze sighed with frustration as he knew he had to stick to one-star missions.

He could, at most, grab a 1.5-star mission. But, it will be difficult to find anyone to believe he could do missions any higher than that. Understanding that he could only stick with his plan, Yoze left his apartment building and ran back to the giant white pillar, which he discovered was called the Royal Spine.

Just like when he first arrived, numerous immortals and immortal cultivators scrambled to enter and exit the hole in the Royal Spine. Being familiar with the process, Yoze stepped inside and traveled to the Second Floor.

"Welcome to the Mission Selection Floor! How can I help you sir?"

Just as Yoze stepped out of the Royal Spine, he was greeted by a cheerful young man welcoming everyone. When he first arrived to visit the second floor, he was greeted by the same young man who seemed to genuinely enjoy his job.

His head was nearly completely shaved bald and oiled to be as shiny as possible, except he left a strip of soft brown hair going down the middle of his head. His mohawk-type inspired hairstyle matches perfectly with his bright smile and round face.

With his cheerful greeting and unique hairstyle, most new immortal cultivators' eyes were instantly drawn toward the young man. Yoze was included as he was instantly drawn to the cheerful greeter, and his interest in him increased when he noticed his yellow spiritual energy was shaped like his hair.

"Oh, Yoze, you're back!?" 

Like how the young man drew people's attention using his unique style and attitude, Yoze quickly drew everyone's attention. After restoring his height to 8 feet, he once again became a giant among men and women.

The cheerful youth greeter also noticed Yoze and gave him his undivided attention. Even though his only job was to greet people, he quickly walked over to Yoze and said, with a beautiful smile.

"Yoze, are you here to collect a mission? What would you like? I can help find a good one for you."

Turning his attention to the young greeter, Yoze couldn't help but feel amused. Even though the young man had incredible acting skills, he could tell the young greeter didn't like him very much.

"Even though he is only an ant in the eyes of immortal cultivators and immortals, he is jealous of the attention that I drew away from him. He has to have balls of steel and be a massive narcissist to enjoy this job." Yoze thought to himself.

"Hello Sami, I would like to take a one-star mission. I would prefer it if it is something I can complete rather quickly." Yoze said.

Even though he completely saw Sami's act, Yoze didn't mind since he would get a personal guide every time he arrived. The personal guide even wanted him to leave as soon as possible, so he could quickly get anything he needed.

"You are planning on leaving the Sect! Just give me a few seconds, and I will bring three perfect missions." Sami secretly swallowed his saliva in anticipation and rushed behind the counters separating the Sect employees and everyone else.

After a minute, Sami ran back to Yoze, completely covered in sweat and a hint of excitement in his eyes. With three stacks of folders clenched tightly in his hands, he handed them to Yoze.

"The first folder holds a one-star mission titled Dark Cavern. It's about a haunted cave system in the Gox territory. There have been rumors that a young demon is lurking inside the caves, so the Sect would like to investigate it."

"This mission is really rewarding. Just taking this mission and investigating it, you will be rewarded 0.5 Sect Points and an extra 0.5 if you find clues that a demon is inside."

"But the best part is if you kill the demon inside the cave and bring back a small piece of its flesh, you will get an additional 1 Sect Point. Meaning that in the best scenario, you can get 2 Sect points for this one mission." Sami said with excitement.

As Sami explained the mission, Yoze read through the details and noticed that Sami was telling the truth. If he really did find clues about the demon and killed it, he would get double the Sect Points of other one-star missions.

However, the premise was that there truly was a demon inside the cavern. If there wasn't a demon, then this mission would only give half the points of an ordinary one-star mission. Meaning that one would have to gamble their luck that the cavern not only has a demon, but the demon is fairly weak.

"This mission is not too bad. But I am not a gambling type of man, so I will put this one on hold for now. Sami, can you explain the other two missions?" Yoze asked.

"Of course, but I do want to add that this mission isn't as much of a gamble as it seems," Sami said through his teeth.

"Oh, do you have additional information?" Yoze asked curiously.

"Yes, this isn't the first time the Sect has offered this same mission. It's the third time, and the previous two attempts concluded that there were no demons."

"But for the Sect to continually create this mission means that they are certain that there is a demon, but they want someone to find clues of its existence first. With your greatness, I believe you can find those clues and even slay that demon with a mighty punch." Sami said with confidence.
