533: Giant Spirit Tribe
Amidst ancient forests and surrounded by mountains, the highest Immortal mountain pierced directly into the azure clouds. Even the mist only shrouded its midsection, while the summit was hidden within the clouds.
At this moment, several tall figures were looking into the distance from the mountain Peak with great interest.
If one followed their gaze, they would see that the place they were looking at was none other than the location of Lu Chen, Zhao Yujing, Li Wuji, Wind Seven, and the many Immortals from the Dongxu Immortal Mansion and Jiuli Lineage.
"Indeed, indeed there are!" one of them, who looked like a youth but was over three zhang tall, exclaimed, inexplicably excited, his eyes shining.
"I heard from a Senior in the clan long ago that in the distant past, Immortals who cultivated in the Human Realm would occasionally cross realms here. I didn't expect that with the end approaching, there would still be some crooked melons and cracked dates from the Immortal Realm coming up. Interesting, truly interesting!"
The youth clapped his hands and laughed heartily.
Behind him stood several giants over three zhang, even four or five zhang tall, especially a middle-aged man whose appearance carried a hint of vicissitude.
He wore a suit of unknown iron armor that gleamed with cold light and a scarlet cloak, like those battle-hardened generals in the Human Realm, exuding an aura of iron-bloodedness and killing intent.
"What a pity, it's the Human Race. If it were the Demon Clan, we could set up a feast and serve a few good dishes," he murmured softly, unable to resist pulling out the wine gourd from his waist and unconsciously taking a few sips.
The Demon Clan in the Human Realm cooking, how tempting!
It's been who knows how many years since I last ate it. Although there are also Demon Clans in the Upper Realm, they are not as rare as those from the Human Realm.
As for the Human Race, although their skin is tender, their appearance is the same as most races in the Upper Realm, making them unpleasant to eat and generally disliked by the beings of the Upper Realm.
But the Human Race also has its strengths. People of this race are excellent when used as servants.
The Human Race is quick-witted, has many schemes, and likes to climb higher. Give them some benefits, and they are even more useful than the most loyal dogs.
Of course, there are pros and cons, because the Human Race is also dangerous. If not used well, they can backfire.
Therefore, when taking members of the Human Race as slaves, some control methods are usually needed, otherwise these Human slaves from the Human Realm risk devouring their masters.
"Hmm? There are even two Heavenly Kings! It's not easy to cultivate into a Heavenly King in the Human Realm!" The muscular man in iron armor and scarlet cloak slowly narrowed his eyes.
A Heavenly King, even in this vast and boundless Upper Realm, can run rampant in a corner.
Unfortunately, this is not some small corner but the location of the Giant Spirit Race.
Even if a Heavenly King comes, he cannot run rampant; he needs to obediently coil up.
"Uncle Xing Shan, I want to taste the Human Race," another young-looking Giant Spirit Race member, Xing Jue, said, licking his lips with a burning gaze, even swallowing his saliva!
Another Giant Spirit Race youth, Xing Lan, pointed at Li Wuji: "I want him to be my Human slave." He then pointed at Lu Chen and the other younger-looking Immortals from the Human Realm, excitedly saying, "I want all of these. They look younger, so I think they can withstand my punches. I want them to be my sparring partners and help me practice my boxing."
He heavily clenched his huge fist and raised it before his eyes, displaying his strength.
The third youth, Xing Siye, pointed at Zhao Yujing: "That little person should be very interesting. I want him."
Xing Lan was dissatisfied: "I want him for practicing punches; I can't give him to you. Pick a few others."
"You're too greedy. You've taken all the better ones; what else is left for me?" Xing Siye first walked to Xing Shan's side, and only after gaining some confidence did he retort forcefully.
Xing Shan's face stiffened, and he coldly snorted, "What's the hurry? There are two Heavenly Kings among them, perfect for you to practice with. First, go capture these Immortals from the Human Realm, and then we'll discuss the rest."
Xing Lan said indifferently, "What powerful figures can come out of the Human Realm? Even if they cultivate into a Heavenly King, they are just embroidered pillows, looking good but useless. Compared to the Heavenly Pride of my Giant Spirit Race, they are far inferior!"
He rubbed his hands together: "Leave those two Heavenly Kings to me. Today, I will fight against Heavenly Kings in the True Immortal realm, and let these Human Realm small fries know what the Giant Spirit Race is!"
The other Xing Siye's eyes lit up: "Then leave the True Immortals to me. Also being in the True Immortal realm, I can take on a hundred, and that won't be bad either."
Xing Jue laughed: "Then, leave the rest to me!"
He turned his wrist and slowly clenched his fist.
In the Upper Realm, not even the entire Upper Realm, just within the Giant Spirit Race, he could only be considered average. Let alone being called a Heavenly Pride, he wouldn't even be considered a Genius. However, facing the Immortals from the Human Realm, he inexplicably felt boundless confidence.
The gap between the Human Realm and the Upper Realm is not just a thousand or ten thousand li.
All beings in the Upper Realm know that the best place in the Human Realm is significantly worse than even the most remote and desolate place in the Upper Realm.
So, what outstanding qualities could beings born in the Lower Realm possess?
Even if a few incredible Heavenly Prides or monstrous talents occasionally appear, they are ultimately just a minority among minorities.
Overall, Immortals from the Human Realm are far inferior to Immortals from the Upper Realm.
This is determined by the overall environment; the strong remain strong!
It shouldn't be that any few Immortals casually encountered from the Human Realm are those one-in-ten-million Heavenly Prides or monstrous talents, right?
There's no such saying!
"Xing Chuan, how do you choose?" Xing Shan looked at the last youth, who was exceptionally tall, nearly four zhang, like a small mountain, and spoke with a slightly gentler tone.
Among the four youths of the same lineage, this was the one Xing Shan valued most and considered the most promising.
Don't look at him only being a late True Immortal; compared to the Peak True Immortal Xing Lan, he is only half a step behind. If they were to truly fight, Xing Shan was certain that Xing Lan would definitely not be his opponent.
Even against early Heavenly Kings from weaker races, he could put up a fight.
And against the Human Race from the Lower Realm, he would surely win.
The silent Xing Chuan said in a muffled voice, "I'll watch. Whoever is the strongest, I'll fight him."
Xing Shan's mouth curved into a grin, and he heavily patted Xing Chuan's shoulder, saying, "Good kid."
After a pause, he said, "Alright, you four go ahead. I'll be here to hold the line for you."
After all, their origins are unknown. If a powerful one were to emerge from these little Immortals from the Human Realm, these four kids might suffer losses.
With him, a Quasi-Celestial Lord, holding the line, it would be safer overall.
Speaking of which, they were also lucky.
They just happened to be cultivating here and encountered Immortals from the Human Realm breaking through the Heavenly Gate, something that hadn't happened in over a hundred thousand years. It could be considered a minor Opportunity.
Especially with the end approaching and Immortals from the Human Realm unable to ascend, beings from the Lower Realm are becoming increasingly rare.
Things are valued for their rarity.
These pure Immortals from the Human Realm would fetch a high price if sold to powerful races as Human slaves.
The stronger they are, the more so.
Especially the Demon Clan in the Upper Realm, who love to feed on the Human Race; the price might even increase.
Of course, whether these Human Race Immortals from the Lower Realm can leave the territory of the Giant Spirit Race is another matter!
