Noah was in the liquid stage of the fifth rank now. His path toward the sixth rank required him to learn how to wield the laws to aim to become one eventually.
However, the laws were elusive, and Noah couldn't touch their world whenever he wanted. He had interacted with them far more than other cultivators at his level, but he wasn't able to control them yet.
His abilities made use of his understanding already, but it wasn't a proper control. It was only a natural consequence that came with his improvements.
That was why he would seize any chance he found to make contact with the world of the laws. He managed to reach that state more often since he had improved his second rune, but those moments were still sparse and unpredictable.
Seeing the world through Shandal's eyes gave him a vague idea of the mindsets that divine entities had when interacting with matter. They didn't think. Their whole beings appeared made of emotions.
