Hearing that they would be far behind their peers didn't shock any of them. They knew that just the fact that they weren't talented enough to even qualify to enter the immortal sect was a massive disadvantage.

The lack of talent would only compound further because, for immortal cultivators who have joined an immortal sect, the number of resources that would be provided to them was large. There were a lot of rogue immortal cultivators who were held back due to simply not having enough resources.

Yoze thought about Tiki's situation before and after he arrived and allowed her to have better access to resources. At that time, she had only reached the second level of the Nerve Accumulation stage and had spent many years reaching that level.

Yet she could quickly raise her immortal cultivation realm to the third stage of Nerve Accumulation once she had near-unlimited access to crystals. This was a major issue for most rogue immortal cultivators, as they needed money to be able to buy crystals.

Even though practicing martial arts was a money guzzler, it was much more accessible to the common people compared to immortal cultivation since most martial arts could be practiced without resources. Only once someone reached a high level of martial arts or trained in a body cultivation method that used herbs to make medicine for supple enough nutrition to the body would they need a large amount of money.

On the other hand, immortal cultivation was inaccessible to most of the population and was a money guzzler from the beginning. For anyone to make the slightest bit of progress in the realm, they needed to devour and absorb numerous crystals that would cost them thousands.

Even working as a Scholar that is getting paid much more than some people would ever make in their entire lives isn't enough to fully sustain high levels of crystal consumption. Yoze predicted that if he couldn't make hundreds of thousands killing demons and selling them to the City, he would not have been able to support Tiki's and Dreyer's crystal consumption while also progressing in his immortal cultivation.

So all the rogue immortal cultivators felt their hearts itch as they wondered how much crystals would be provided to the students of the Immortal Palace Sect and what kind of magical resources would be available to them. After experiencing the magical nature of the Crystal Grape, Yoze felt his mouth become dry from high expectations.

Seeing that all the rogue immortal cultivators understood their positions, Immortal Patty nodded and waved his arms as he summoned a colossus black sword. To say that this sword's blade had enough space to fit more than a dozen people was an understatement and could fit an entire village of people.

If it wasn't for the fact that the sword was floating in the air, casting a large black shadow over them, all of the rogue immortal cultivators were certain that they would have been crushed by sheer weight. As Yoze stared at the black sword with awe from its immense size, he noticed that engravings on the sword's surface were a few quotes.

After reading a few sentences, he recognized that this was from a fairy tale he had read from a book. The story was called The Last Giant and was about the son of a blacksmith who accidentally saw a Giant practicing its sportsmanship with a large tree.

Even though others would have been terrified to find out, they were living in the same world as a creature that was more than a thousand times their size and could similarly kill them by stepping on them like a bug. This young man was special and walked up to the Giant and offered to make him a sword.

After being accidentally found, the Giant accepted the young man's offer and allowed him to make the sword for him. With his dream coming true, the young man spent the next 50 years of his life making a sword for this Giant.

Once the sword was complete, he handed it to the Giant, and seeing the Giant's happy face and how he instantly fell in love with it allowed him to die without regret. Even though the story's ending became blurry and lacked much sense, Yoze remembered that the book said the sword created by the blacksmith could destroy a volcano and slay gods.

Suddenly seeing that sword being made in reality made Yoze's mind wander about all the other weapons that Immortal Patty had created with his Immortal Tattoos. 

"I wonder what other kinds of mythical things other immortals have created using their immortal tattoos." Yoze's eyes sparkled as his curiosity about the immortal sect again raised a level.

"For this trip, you six, or maybe five, will be traveling to headquarters using this sword. Since this will be a long trip, I'll inform you of more information along the way." Immortal Patty said in a neutral tone as he cast a questioning glance at Yoze and his Wasp Monster.

"Don't worry, Lily. I won't make you continue flying for a few days straight again. I don't think he would mind letting you ride the sword as well since there is so much space." 

Knowing Immortal Patty was questioning whether he wanted to fly alone, Yoze quickly turned to the Giant Wasp Monster beside him and patted her head as he told her she wouldn't need to fly anymore. Hearing that she could finally catch a break and not have to exhaust herself any longer, the Wasp Monster shook her body up and down to explain to Yoze how relieved she felt.

Even though no one else understood what Lily had said, Yoze smiled as he continued to pat her head and turned towards Immortal Patty with expectation in his eyes. Without saying another word, Immortal Patty lowered his arm to gently move the black sword to the ground.

Once it reached a sufficient height that everyone could easily get on with a simple hop, Immortal Patty stopped lowering his colossal sword and told everyone to get on. Before even a second had passed after he gave his command, the two twin brothers wearing hats both excitedly rushed onto the black sword.

After which, Leo squinted his eyes as he lightly hopped onto the sword and took a seat a few feet away from the two brothers, showing how weary he was of them suddenly launching a sneak attack when he lowered his guard. The next person to step on the sword was Tamgo, who seemed to have to calm her pet rabbit down enough to step onto the sword.

Even still, Yoze could tell that the rabbit was constantly trembling and looked terrified that it was floating in the air. He could only imagine how much it would freak out once they took off and were hundreds of feet in the air.

After watching everyone else easily get on the black sword, the middle-aged woman, wearing a yellow suit, walked toward the black sword and examined its blade. She even rubbed her finger across the engraving, and a look of surprise flashed across her face.

"Sir Immortal Patty, may I ask if this is the Sword of the Last Giant?" She asked in an overly polite manner as if she was afraid that she would offend Immortal Patty and get herself killed.

"No, this is a recreation of the sword of the last Giant that I made after spending more than three years collecting as much information on it as I could."

"I was even able to get its unique ability to summon the same pressure that a Giant mere presence generated. But you have to have an impressive eye and knowledge to be able to notice that this was the same sword even though most of the stories about the sword aren't very detailed." A small smile ran across Immortal Patty's face as he talked about the black sword.

"Thank you for your compliment, but I would have never been able to figure it out if it wasn't for how much detail and dedication you had put into recreating the sword." The middle-aged woman smiled as she tried her best to humble herself.

"If I complimented you, just accept it. I don't like people that try to unnecessarily humble themselves. Now get on the sword." Immortal Patty's slight smile disappeared as he waved his hand to push the middle-aged woman on board.

"Thank you," The middle-aged woman quickly shouted as she felt a powerful wind gently lift her onto the sword.

"She's quite clever," Yoze thought after watching that interaction.

Seeing how she could easily get on the good side of two immortals so quickly, he knew that if he wasn't careful and accidentally offended her and made several immortals his enemies at the same time. After just experiencing the power of one immortal, Yoze wasn't interested in making more enemies just yet, so he made a note to himself to watch out for her.
