28 Great hall

The special way for Ben to cultivate was to cultivate using only Primal qi. The reason for this is because it doesn't matter in what realm you are the foundational qi is Primal qi. Every heaven supports this qi.

Even if Ben can cultivate using Primal qi. This can only support his body cultivation all the way and his energy cultivation partially. The reason you can't use Primal qi all the way for the Energy path us due to the reason of Primal qi being way too sturdy.

The Energy path is manipulating the Energy you gathered for yourself. But Primal qi doesn't like being manipulated. Primal qi loves to be a source of support, being the building blocks for anything basically.

That is why the Primal qi doesn't mind you using it for the body path. You use the Primal qi to strengthen the body. Making the Primal qi the building blocks of a very powerful body.

The stage from the Energy path that will support Primal qi is the second stage. The meridian tempering stage. Primal qi doesn't mind till this stage due to the same reason as body cultivation. You use the Primal qi to strengthen. But not force your will onto it, in a sense.

Then you would think this isn't so bad, right? Having the ability to improve the Body path to the ultimate stage. But no. There is also the Soul path. To improve the Soul path you have to resonate with the heavens to improve. Your comprehension and wills are also tied to your Soul.

So, if you can't improve your Soul cultivation by being rejected by the heavens. Your wills can't improve and your comprehension speed also never improves. What consequences will this bring to Ben?

Bens' soul as special as it is, by being an angel soul, still needs to resonate with the heavens to improve. This information is what he got from Azrael. Angels are special, the reason being that they are only soul. Their race depends on their comprehension to improve.

The special body technique Ben got from Azrael depends on the Holy will of the Angel. Ben needs to learn inscriptions and runes to be able to use this technique. When Ben comprehends the Holy will to the First will stage.

He will be able to form 1st will stage Holy runes to imprint on his soul, to create an outer shell in the shape of a body out of 1st will Holy runes. But in the case of Ben, after he imprints his soul, the runes will reflect on his body also.

So, the runes will also appear on his body, increasing his defenses. But all this he can't do because he is unable to resonate with the heavens.

After he came to this conclusion that all his wills will be stuck in the stage just before the will stage.

Where you will be able to force this will unto the world.

He became a bit depressed. But then Water explained to him that, when the merging of the heavens completed, he would be accepted by the heavens. Ben was elated. But his excitement was crushed by the next sentence.

"… I only don't know when this will happen."

Ben asked if he could improve in anything different than only his body. The answer to that was that he will be able to improve.

For example, being able to learn the intricacies of inscriptions, but being unable to laying them out by yourself. Ben could improve in using weapons and learning their concepts. The only downside was that this would be very slow, because the further you go in learning a weapon the more you will need to comprehend.

But comprehension comes from the soul.

But still, hearing he could still improve despite all the downsides lit a fire inside Ben.

*Knock *Knock

"I'm coming!" Ben called out. He stood up and walked to the door and opened it.

In front of his door there stood a soldier clad in black and red armor.

"The king has summoned you. Come with me please." The soldier said. "Oké, wait a momemt." Ben returns to his room and donnes himself in better clothes.

"I'm ready." Ben says while walking out. He follows the soldier through the corridor.

This time they don't go to the office od the king but end up in front of large doors. "This is the Great Hall. The king is waiting inside for you." The soldier informs Ben.

The big doors open slowly to reveal a grand hall. The room is massive with red carpet with golden outlining going straight from the door to an elevated platform where five thrones are stationed at the back of the room.

To the sides are a lot of seats for people to sit on. There are large windows with a great view of the Royal capital. This palace was built on a natural hill so it stood at an elevated level.

Four of the five thrones were placed a few feet before the center one, the center one being the furthest from the doors. The throne in the middle also stood a few feet higher than the other four.

Seated on the highest throne was the king, Orion Dusk Zanaibael. His majestic aura was completely different than the times that Ben was alone with the king.

With his blond hair and purple eyes, together with the majestic aura, it created a picture so breathtaking. You would think the king was a deity send by God to send his decree to the mortals.

The four thrones before the king's were occupied by four other elves. The man to the left had the same blond hair and purple eyes. This is the current clan leader of the Dusk royal family.

Next to the Dusk royal family was another man seated. This man had silver hair and silver eyes. This is the clan leader of the Silivren royal family.

Then to the left of the King, from the perspective of the king, was a man seated with dark red hair that slowly changed to yellow at the end of his hair. So, starting from his head it was a dark deep red, then as his hair got longer, halfway it was the color orange, then at the end it turned into yellow.

His eyes were a blazing yellow color. This man is the clan leader of the Arivae royal family.

Than to the far left of the king there was seated a woman. The only woman that had a seat on one of the thrones. This woman had just like the Arivae clan leader hair that changed color from the top to the bottom. The top being a deep blue while the end was a crystalline white.

The eyes of the woman were a shining bluish white color. This woman is the clan leader of the Lharast royal family.
