18 18 Fear

[Primordial water body] is a cultivation method that can only be used by an individual if they formed the primordial water law seed. Which Ben formed with the law spark of Water. This cultivation method is to suck the water qi inside the air to oneself.

It would then be directed through the primordial water law seed. The qi that enters will be transformed into primal force first then further transformed into primal water qi which will be circulated through the body according to the manual.

But with primal force being sucked in by Ben his primordial law seed only needs to convert the energy into primal water qi and then circulate throughout the body. Resulting in a lesser loss of energy in the conversion to primal water qi.

Because primal energy is much closer to primal water qi than regular water qi, there is a less loss of energy. It is also much purer. This is very beneficial to Ben. To have the chance to cultivate primal energy instead of regular energy at the beginning of his cultivation will result in a much sturdier foundation.

So much so that someone that has a regular foundation but with a major realm cultivation difference in the early stages could lose to the one with a primal force. A primal force foundation organ body tempering stage would win a brawl against some one with a regular foundation higher soldier stage individual.

'You are at the bone body tempering stage. If you continue your body will explode because of the speed of your body cultivation. The best is to start reciting the [Boundless primal water source] and [Swirling void] until you reach the peak foundation stage. I'll stop you when you reach this stage.' Waters voice resounded through Bens head.

Ben grits his teeth and switches from reciting [Primordial water body] to [Boundless primal water source] and [Swirling void]. The pain Ben felt is immediately gone. But in its place an even more painful pain takes over. The pain is so foreign that it completely took Ben off guard.

Ben recovers very fast and continues recites the [Boundless primal water source] and [Swirling void]. Ben slowly feels small bubbles forming inside his body. Suddenly nine tails sprout out behind Ben. A new layer of pain is added to Ben. At the same time Ben feels movement on top of these small bubbles. This movement is circular and becomes stronger and stronger. Eventually it was so strong that it felt like a tornado was wreaking havoc inside these small bubbles.

The room that was filled with primal energy and regular energy was being sucked dry because the swirling voids that were forming inside the small dantains that were being formed.

Ben feels that a bubble is forming inside one of his tails. Then another bubble forms inside his second tail. Then another and another. Until in all nine tails one bubble is formed. Then the feeling of the forming of the swirling void repeats inside his tails. The pain starts to recede and Bens face becomes a bit more peaceful.

When Ben doesn't feel the pain anymore and feels that all primal force is gone inside the room, he comes back to his senses. A disgusting smell enters his nose. Ben scrunches up his nose and opens his eyes. He looks around to find the source of this foul stench. When Ben sees the black substance laying all around him. He examines his body and finds out that he is covered in the black substance. It was like a second skin.

Ben scrapes a bit from his arm and sees an unfamiliar arm. Ben frowns and uncovers his whole arm. His skin is very soft and fair, unblemished and tough. 'Congratulations on making your first steps onto the road of cultivation. Your body is in the bone body tempering stage and your energy cultivation is in the peak of the higher foundation stage.

If you cultivate a little bit more, you will enter the peak foundation stage. When you reach the meridian tempering realm your overlapping meridians will all be converted into small dantains. The pain will be a lot less and after the meridian tempering realm you will not feel any pain during energy cultivation, except for tribulations though.' Water says to Ben.

Ben absentmindedly nods. 'Well for now take a shower and ask if a servant can clean up your mess.' Water continues. Ben stands up, still with that blank look and walks to the bathroom.

Inside the bathroom when Ben is showering. He is thinking about all that happened. He was just going on a vacation for the first time alone to south America. Next year he would attend college and live in a dorm. On the plane when they saw land before them everyone started to cry out in pain. Ben was no exception. He knew he passed out somehow.

When he woke up, he thought he had died. He found out that he was inside a world tree, something that shouldn't exist at all. He even had a conversation with the world tree and found out his world somehow merged with the world of the world tree.

He found out elves exist and even had weird thought about one. During the conversation with the elf, which he came to know as Luna, he discovered that cultivation is a thing in this world. When Ben tried to cultivate, he found out he has three very powerful entities attached to him.

Unlocking his soul armament, an armor. Being expelled out of the world tree together with Luna. Meeting the king and the crown prince. Seeing the wall of the elven capital. Seeing elves in every direction he looked at.

Seeing the palace and the luxurious room. Seeing a tailor making clothes cultivation style for the first time. Finding out that his entity had some animosity to the elves because of a previous host. Getting an even more luxurious room. Sleeping inside this luxurious room. Finding out that his phone had evolved and has a contracted spirit attached to it. Contracting this spirit to his soul.

His amor changing. Learning about the cultivation paths and system. Fully integrating with all his entities and spirit. Him and the king going to the smiths and taking the weapon affinity test. Finding out he has a high affinity to a great sword and a gun looking weapon. Getting almost crushed to death because of the hug of the headmaster of the smiths. Because he somehow helped the headmaster breakthrough.

Visiting the royal vault of the elves together with the king. Taking a chest, black spatial ring and a black marble. Water deciphering the chest and then the pain. The unbearable pain. The pain of cultivating snapped Ben out of the clouds.

It finally dawned upon him that this is not a fairy tale, fantasy world or dream. Everything that has happened up until now is very much real. Ben really is living with elves. His world merged with this world. He is stranded with the elves. He doesn't know how to get home, he only knows that he needs power to find out.

This is not some realistic dream. It is real and it struck fear into Bens very being.
