The Human Giant



After Alosa's explanation about the five major halls, time quickly passed as the sun above the Southern Mountain fell, and the blue sky turned into a fiery orange-red color. As Yoze waited for the tournament to end, he indirectly asked Immortal Patty a few questions he had about the Blue Gem Hall through Alosa.

The first was how and why he was suddenly chosen for this when everyone else in the group hadn't been assigned a Hall to join. The answer he got was quite simple: his performance through the fight with Geo was so impressive that the Head Immortal of the Blue Gem Hall decided to add him to the Hall.

"If everyone else had performed as amazing as you did during your battle, they would have attracted the attention of the Head Immortals as well. But don't get cocky; just because the Head Immortal of the Blue Gem Hall has taken an interest in you doesn't mean you are his student."

"He only has a bit of interest in your potential and finds that your current fighting style is already similar enough to the Blue Gem Hall, so he allows you to skip a step or two in the process of joining the Blue Gem Hall. If you continue to perform well, you might be able to become his student." Immortal Patty responded to Yoze's question slowly as he watched the battles occurring on the obsidian platform.

Getting the attention of the Head Immortal of the Blue Gem Hall would normally excite most immortal cultivators, but for someone like Yoze, who wanted to stay low-key, it didn't please him as much. He knew that having the attention of such a powerful and influential immortal could greatly help his journey, but it also led to more danger following behind him.

After getting the answer to his question answered in such a simple manner, Yoze felt more confident about his guess that Immortal Patty was greatly pleased about his performance and was much more willing to ask his questions. So he quickly took advantage of this and asked a few more questions that he deeply wanted to know.

By the time he got all the answers from Immortal Patty, Yoze felt that his understanding of the Immortal Palace Sect deepened and realized that the immortal world was massive. Not only was this battle between immortal sects common, but immortal sects would frequently devour each other whenever an opportunity arose.

To this day, this region has three large immortal sects that all compete with each other and would look for any opportunity to find smaller sects to devour and expand their territory. This current tournament seemed to be caused by these conflicts as the Immortal Shadow Sect had devoured a small sect near one of the important territories of the Immortal Palace Sect and wanted to take over.

Out of the three large immortal sects, the Immortal Palace Sect was unfortunately seen as the weakest, with the Immortal Shadow Sect coming as a close second. The immortal sect that claimed the title of first place was known as the Immortal Lake Sect. Due to the Immortal Lake Sect headquarters being very far away from either the Immortal Shadow Sect or Immortal Palace Sect, a conflict between them and the other two large Immortal Sects wasn't common.

"The Immortal Palace Sect is the weakest? After seeing our performance in this battle between immortal cultivators, it makes sense why we are considered the weakest."

After finding out that he had joined the weakest Immortal Sect, Yoze couldn't help but wonder if he would be sent to fight in the Immortal Palace Sect's conflicts with the other immortal Sects. That would be a great opportunity for him to devour numerous spiritual energies from immortal cultivators and Immortals, but it would also be very dangerous.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, I am happy to announce that this is the final battle for not only the Immortal Palace Sect versus the Immortal Shadow Sect but these two brothers as well! Let me introduce to you the two brothers that have separated into two different paths!"

Even though Yoze was deep in thought about his future with the Immortal Palace Sect, the moment he heard that the tournament was ending, his mind snapped back to the obsidian platform. On the platform, the announcer was excitedly prancing around two immortal cultivators that stared at each as if they were mortal enemies.

What drew Yoze's attention was that both of these immortal cultivators looked very similar to each and looked blood-related. After hearing the announcer confirm his guess that these two men were brothers, Yoze felt his interest in their fight rise.

Falling for the announcer's trap, the audience of immortal cultivators who had grown bored and exhausted from the long tournament turned their focus to the two brothers on stage. Seeing that everyone was eating up the final battle announcement, the announcer grinned as he continued to increase the stakes of the battle.

"Both were born from the same father and mother, lived in the same village, and lived in harmony with one another for more than two decades. Yet, in the pursuit of power, one of the brothers abandons his humanity while the other treasures their humanity."

"Now, after more than 60 years of separation, the two brothers have found themselves again at odds, fighting for two different Immortal sects in a tournament to settle it all! On the left corner, we have Immortal Shadow Sect's Bright Shadow Darwin!"

Hearing the announcer point out the conflict between the two brothers, the audience of immortal cultivators felt some energy return to their bodies as they felt eager to see these two brothers fight. In particular, the immortal Shadow Sect wanted their side to claim victory since they knew their side was at a disadvantage.

On their side was a young man who looked to be around twenty years old and had long wavy black hair tied in a ponytail. He wore a simple light blue long-sleeve shirt and pants with a ducks and clouds design.

The young man named Darwin was someone that the entire Immortal Shadow Sect knew since he took on a very different attitude when interacting with normal people. Unlike most immortal cultivators who preferred to view regular humans with disregard and viewed them as inferior, Darwin didn't share that point of view.
