Cultivation Online

After disembarking from the ship, Yuan followed Huang Xiao Li and her family onto the land.

'Giant's Continent… It's not in Tian Chengyu's memories. Did this place exist before his birth or after his death?' He wondered as he followed them.

Sometime later, he asked out of curiosity, "Where are we going now?"

"We're going to the Southern Stronghold. It's where most travelers like us go to exchange treasures with giants, so it's quite popular." Huang Xiao Li said.

"I don't know much about giants. Can you tell me about them?"

"Sure!" She nodded with enthusiasm, and she continued, "Giants are humans with the Mammoth Bloodline. Their ancestors were ordinary humans that have trained a unique technique called the Great Mammoth Body Refinement that gave them immense strength and a near indestructible body, but it also increased their body size temporarily."

"Their ancestors not only reached the peak with this technique, they had even altered it so that the technique would continuously affect their bodies and never deactivate, making them giants permanently. However, because such a feat required them to alter their genes and blood, their descendants would also be born with such blood and genes in their body, making them giants at birth."

Yuan was speechless after hearing this information.

Giants used to be humans before they altered their blood and genes with a technique? He didn't know techniques were even capable of such a feat, which was akin to creating their own bloodline and race!

Huang Xiao Li continued to speak, "The giants created their own family, and after cultivating that family for thousands of years, they moved to an uninhabited land that would soon to be known as the Giant's Continent."

"Giants nowadays are mostly isolated within the Giant's Continent, so you won't see them outside. In fact, most people live their entire life without meeting one. They're practically phoenixes and dragons."

"However, since they rarely leave the continent, they mostly rely on travelers like us to provide them with resources and treasures from the outside. It benefits us as well because there are resources and treasures that can only be found within the Giant's Continent."

"That's pretty neat, I guess." Yuan mumbled.

"Indeed. If you have any treasures you don't need, you can try to exchange or sell them to the giants."

A bittersweet smile appeared on his face after hearing her words. Even if he had plenty of treasures that he could and wanted to trade, he wouldn't actually acquire anything because he was inside the Stairway to Heaven and nothing there was real.

'Although I can learn techniques in the Stairway to Heaven, that is only possible because they only need to be memorized. However, treasures don't work that way. It's impossible for me to acquire real treasures during trials. How unfortunate.' He sighed inwardly, thinking how nice it would be if he could actually acquire something from the trial.

Suddenly, the head of the bodyguards, Dong Zhou, shouted, "We have company!"

Yuan panicked a little when he heard Dong Zhou's voice because he didn't sense anything with his divine sense that he's kept active this whole time.
