The Human Giant



"I either need to forget about ever finding my original spiritual energy or I'm going to spend a large amount of my time trying to find it."

"It's going to be like finding a needle in a haystack. It's going to be troublesome but why would I give up on what is mine?" Yoze shook his head as he made up his mind.

He looked up at the night sky with glittering stars before recalling back his blood armor. Just as quickly his blood formed his blood armor and created a forest-wide blood fog. It all returned to his body allowing him to witness the true destruction he had left behind in his wake.

Looking around he saw that there wasn't a single tree, bush, grass, or any plant life around him. There were only the corpses of the plants he had killed and the scars that he carved into the hill.

"I didn't think the blood mist that I formed was this destructive. I might need to be careful with where I activate it and who is around me or I'm going to accidentally kill someone." 

Yoze clicked his tongue with surprise but he was even more pleased with the results of his reaching the Blood Master realm. After marveling at his work, Yoze sat down on the ground and took a deep breath.

Calming himself down, he closed his eyes to allow his remaining spiritual senses to be enhanced. Very quickly he found himself back in the black void that contained his spiritual energies.

He easily saw the towering and oppressive body of the Serpent demon. The Serpent demon's black scales and strong body did little to hide the complex structure of the Serpent demon's spiritual energy body cultivation path.

Just as impressive were the other three demons that ruled this space. The Three-Headed Fox demon roamed around with an aloof attitude mixed with a devilish cunningness. The Armored Elephant demon was a towering metal mountain that made everything seem small in comparison. The Swamp Leopard demon as the new member seemed to take a more cautious attitude but the strength of its body couldn't be hidden.

Each one of these demons showed their spiritual energy body cultivation paths to Yoze. Allowing him to see how every one of them shared a common straight of being weaker in certain spots where they all collided.

The sight of these demons would have always been his main focus every time he came to this space but now he was here to find another. Walking around the black void, Yoze found that if he stopped thinking about where he was going he would end up in front of one of the demons. 

It was simply because their presence was too strong and overwhelming compared to everything else. Even with Yoze's sharp senses, it was difficult for him to see through the fog.

But he wasn't willing to give up so easily just because he kept failing. Even as time flew by like the wind, he kept looking and searching the black void, and inside his body.

After an unknown amount of time, something eventually caught one of Yoze's senses. It was faint, weak, and very different compared to his other spiritual energies.

"Let's go, I need to grab this opportunity." 

Feeling exhilarated at his discovery, Yoze's mind snapped to focus on the small traces of this new spiritual energy. Following the faint trail, he eventually found it.

Right in front of him was a ball of gray spiritual energy. The ball of spiritual energy was so small that it was only made up of five strands. It was too weak to even take up a shape or form that normal human spiritual energy could accomplish.

"Hahaha, after all this work I finally found my original spiritual energy. I was even able to find it before it had become a single strand." Yoze laughed seeing his spiritual energy.

If someone looked at his original spiritual energy alone they would assume that he was about to die. He couldn't even risk bringing his spiritual energy outside his body because the outside world would instantly destroy it.

"Okay, now that I found you. I need to test if it is easier to manipulate my original spiritual energy or if it is just as hard as the others." Yoze clapped his hand to make him focus on manipulating the clump of five gray strands.

After a few experiments, Yoze concluded that manipulating his original spiritual energy was just as difficult as his other spiritual energies. The only difference was that due to his original spiritual energy being so real it made it easier to move it around his body.

"That is expected. Technically all these different types of spiritual energies are my spiritual energy with no difference between each other."

"Since there is no difference between my original spiritual energy and the spiritual energy that was created later on. I wonder if I can use this spiritual energy for spiritual body cultivation." 

"If I can this would solve the issue of my original spiritual energy being too weak to be of any use."

"If not then I'm going to need to find a way to prevent my other spiritual energies from devouring the spiritual energy I absorb to allow my original spiritual energy to grow." Yoze looked at his original spiritual energy and began making it follow a path around his body.

At first, nothing happened but suddenly he felt a slight shock follow through his body when he moved his original spiritual energy through one of the conflict zones. The shock wasn't him losing control or pain but a feeling of being refreshed.

Yoze tried passing his spiritual energy through the other conflict zones and found that he got the same shock and refreshed sensation. 

"Let's try forming a path that goes through all the conflict zones." 

After connecting all the conflict zones in his body using his original spiritual energy, Yoze shook as he sensed that he was on the right path. It just wasn't perfect yet, as long as he found the remaining spots in his body that his original spiritual energy needed to pass he would form the perfect spiritual body cultivation path.

However, he stopped there as he didn't need to go any further at the moment since he had gotten what he wanted and more.
