The Human Giant



Once everyone had finished eating dinner, their faces glowed as their spiritual energy became more energetic. While his father's spiritual energy had burned some more of the death spiritual energy's corrosion

"Tiki and Dreye I have something I wanted to ask you two?" 

"Ask away,"

"Have you heard of the term Crystal Nerves?" Yoze tossed out his question as he watched to see their reaction.

Interestingly not only did Tiki's pupils contract in shock but even Dreye had the same shock reaction. After waiting in silence for a whole minute and knowing that they had been exposed already. Tiki and Dreyer struggled to come up with a good enough lie since they didn't know how much Yoze knew about them.

"We heard of the term but don't know very much about it." Tiki eventually answered not denying her knowledge.

"Okay, tell me everything you know about it. As someone who has it, I believe that learning from you would provide valuable information." Yoze said, trying his best to hint to her not to try and lie.

Tiki's pupils contracted again before she sighed and told him everything she knew about Crystal Nerves. As Yoze listened he couldn't help but be shocked as these Crystal Nerves are related to Immortals.

From the information that Tiki told Yoze Crystal Nerves are found inside a small amount of the human population and are difficult to detect unless one's talent is high. The reason why it was easier to detect and find people with higher grades of Crystal Nerves is that these nerves benefit people's intelligence. 

The more talent a person showed related to Crystal Nerves the smarter they were and vice versa if one showed extremely high intelligence then that increased the possibility that person had Crystal Nerves. However, that only helped people with high talent in Crystal Nerves be discovered by their peers, Immortals. After being discovered they would be swiftly sent to an immortal sect to learn how to evolve their crystal nerves and step into the path of immortality.

That was only the case for people with a high talent for everyone else whose talent was too low but still was discovered by immortals; they would receive a basic cultivation book that lead up to the Crystal Skull level. This was how Tiki first came to know about her Crystal Nerves and learned about the immortal world.

"The talent system has five levels and each level is based on the quality of one's Crystal Nerves. The purer ones Crystal Nerves were the faster they can process information and are able to cultivate."

"The grade of one's Crystal Nerves could fit in 5 of these ranks from worst to best, Impure, Pure, Crystal, Earth, and Heaven. With my talent, I am near the bottom of the Impure talents so I stood no chance of getting into one of the Immortal Sects. "

"As for the power system, I only know the realms up to the Crystal Brain realm where once someone completes this realm they can truly be considered Immortal." 

"They are the Nerve Accumulation realm, Nerve Crystallization realm, Crystal Spine Realm, Crystal Skull, and lastly Crystal Brain realm. Each of these smaller realms also has five smaller realms." Tiki paused to catch her breath not realizing how much she knew. 

"As for me after cultivating for 6 years I have only reached the second level of the Nerve Accumulation realm." After telling Yoze the basics Tiki paused wondering if she should get into the weeds of rogue cultivators like her.

But before she made a decision, Yoze turned to Dreyer and looked at him to see if there was anything he wanted to add. After having such a reaction when Yoze mentioned Crystal Nerves he thought that Dreyer must have been an immortal cultivator as well.

"Hehehe, " Noticing Yoze turn towards him, Dreyer let out a bitter smile and shook his head before continuing.

"I'm not an immortal cultivator like my sister but I do have Crystal Nerves. It's just that... mine are dead. So I can't cultivate so I chose a different path of becoming a witch." 

"A witch?" Yoze's mind wandered over to the countless stories he heard about witches and their evil.

"Yes, but I don't eat people or flesh, I just practice witchcraft," Dreyer said after regaining his composure.

"I see, so what is it that can make a witch and an immortal go on the run and not dare to show their faces." After learning that his two siblings were the legendary witch and immortal Yoze wondered what could be making them so terrified.

Dreyer and Tiki looked at each other before looking back at Yoze and said, "Immortal cultivators,"

"We don't want to show our faces because every rogue immortal cultivator and witch near New Swampscott city is being hunted by other immortal cultivators." 

Once Dreyer and Tiki explained everything, Yoze had some understanding that there was a mythical fruit that was born nearby and that drew out thousands of rogue immortal cultivators because it was rumored to help one's cultivation. That also drew in the crazy and strong rouge immortal cultivators who had no qualms with killing bystanders to lower competition.

The fruit had bloomed half a year ago and had already been taken; however many of the crazy immortal cultivators continued their hunt to try and make the city their territory. That was bad news for cultivators like Tiki and Dreyer who had set up base here. To prevent them from getting hunted themselves they went into hiding before they were discovered.

"Do you know who is hunting other immortal cultivators and witches? And how strong are they?" Yoze asked, wanting to know who and how powerful his enemies were.

"We don't know who they are, how many they are, or even how powerful they are. All we know is that it's best to avoid them and not get anyone of our loved ones involved with the affairs of the immortals and the witches." Tiki looked up into Yoze's eyes with resolve.
