I opened the door and walked out, only to see my neighbor also walking out of her apartment as well.

"Excited?" she asked.

"Very much," I replied, and we both walked out of the building.

In an hour, exactly at five at dawn, the Sermon Palace would open. I am excited about it. I have travelled a long way for this opportunity and now it will be within my reach within an hour.

Nearly everyone seemed to have come out of their houses as the streets were filled and people were talking excitedly to each other.

There are tens of thousands are waiting by the gates. 

We didn't get too close, we stopped where the crowd was sparse and waited.

Time ticked by and with every minute passed. More and more people began to appear, till it had become slightly crowded around us. 

People still maintained a respectable distance from each other.

Ten minutes before the gates opened, the first rays of sun pierced through the night. 

Slowly, it started to get brighter and brighter. By the last minute of the gate opening, it had become clear enough that even a normal person could see the Sermon Palace.

"You know, the Sermon Palace has more primes than our whole world has," said Seraphina.

"Really?" I asked, to which she nodded.

It shouldn't be surprising; this place is created by a realm of celestial tower. Even in the weakest realm, the Prime is just a middle-level powerhouse.

I heard the Prime's from the realms of the celestial tower are extremely powerful. Far more than the Primes from the world; they are also very knowledgeable and that's what I am here for.

Finally, the moment, all have been waiting for happened.

The enormous gate at the base of the mountain began to open up; there was nothing special about the opening.

No mighty sound or golden light; those gates simply opened.

Though, the moment the door fully opened; a deep sound rang through the sermon palace. 

It is neither loud nor slow, and it feels like a gong, but is not. The deep sound reverberated through my soul and body, making it more alert and energetic than it had been.

It took me a few moments to come out of the feeling and when I did; I saw tides of people moving through the gate.

We waited for a few minutes till most people had gone inside before walking toward the gate.

We were excited about the sermon palace, but we didn't hurry like mad. We knew the opportunities would be there and even the free sermon wouldn't start before nine, so there was plenty of time.

Soon, we reached the gate and began to walk the stairs on the mountain; they had a relaxing feel for it, and we took our time walking them.

Finally, we stepped on the last step, and immediately, the whole worldview changed around us.

The Sermon Palace, which seemed close, has gone further, becoming bigger with majesty filled in every part of it.

"Wow, it is really majestic," said Seraphina breathlessly.

Even from a distance, it is majestic, but its real majesty could only be felt after stepping into this expanded space.

We stared at it for a few seconds before walking toward the huge building. 

We stopped midway to look at the map of the building. The building is so huge that one might get lost without a map; I looked at it and collected a tablet.

The tablet doesn't only show the map, but it also has information about everything in the Sermon Palace. From the free sermons and their subjects to paid sermon and their prices.

The pad is like a halo watch; a small projection appears as operating.

My eyes had turned a little watery seeing it. I miss the utility of the halowatch; the ability to contact each other and connect with friends, among other things.

The prime world is too big for such a connection.

"Are you going to the runic section?" she asked, as we got familiar with our taps. 

"No. I will look around first, but it will be either breakthrough or healing," I replied. She seemed a little confused; she had likely thought I would choose the runes first, but I would not.

I don't think I will attend even a single lecture on the runes.

I already have the best teacher of all for the runes. I don't know how she compared to the primes, but I know enough that she will be at least comparable to the best of them.

Still, I am not dumb enough to make a decision on feeling and half knowledge alone.

I will attend a few free lectures on the runes and if I feel like, I could learn anything from them, I will take those lessons.

"You?" I asked. "First general, then I will check out a few streams I am interested in," she replied.

"Well, with the points you have. You can afford to do it," I said, to which she smiled.

We separated after sharing contact with each other. As I had said, the tablets work like the halo watches. 

They could use to contact each other; I could also do other things, like operate my store through it, which is amazing, because I don't want to get down the mountain unless I need to.

There is an arrangement to live here, but unlike the city, where most of the housing was free. 

This is not the case here.

Here one needs to pay the points and a lot of it; I don't think, except for a few hundred people. 

Few will decide to live here, just to save an hour. Especially when they could do much more with these points; it is not just lectures that this place offers.

There is also a library, store and many other things. Like treatments, that will help in strengthening, cleansing, and lots of things.

I don't know what I will do; my choice will depend on what I experience here.

Though I have already decided, I won't be spending much today. At least in the lectures, I will attend the free ones and explore other things, before making my decision on spending points.

I have a lot of points; the eighth highest points of all, but there are so many things here that I could spend them all in a few hours.

I want to make them last a month; I don't want to go back down and earn the points. It will be a waste of time for this wonderful opportunity.

If I am careful with my points; I should be able to make them last a few weeks, or even a month.

I looked at a few things on the tab before starting to walk. I will explore the space before attending the free lectures.

Since it is the first day, they will start at nine, from tomorrow. They will be at all times, day and night. 

There are so many free lectures here that even if one doesn't have a single point; they will be able to amass massive knowledge and benefits.

It is not just the lectures that are free, but also the treatments and other things.

It was for nothing; the people wouldn't have been crazy about this place.
