Chapter 1064
The King must have resorted to unscrupulous means to gain power.
While lost in thought, he eventually arrived at the massive gates of the Emperor’s Mansion.
Thea was practicing her martial arts in the yard. Her body was floating one meter above the ground as her long,
black hair danced in the air. Her body emanated a strong aura causing the fallen leaves on the ground to flutter
around her body.
James stopped to watch Thea practicing.
Thea noticed James’ return and immediately stopped practicing. She landed firmly on the ground and excitedly
rushed over to him. A huge smile was on her face as she shouted, “Honey, you’re back! ”
James stared at Thea’s flushed face and asked, “Thea, what were you practicing? The aura around you just now felt
incredibly strange.”
Thea explained, “It’s called Spiritual Art. Sir Caden taught it to me. When he was young, he came upon it by chance
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtand said it was a powerful cultivation method. The cultivation allows one to cultivate potent True Energy, and when
one practices it to its utmost limit, True Spirit Energy can be produced.” “Is it really that strong?” James furrowed
his brows and made a complicated expression.
“Mhm, it’s super strong! There is also the Spiritual Palm technique that can be practiced using Spiritual Arts.
However, I haven’t reached that level of cultivation yet.” “Your so-called Spiritual Art is a martial art created by a
devil.”A cold voice corrected her.
James turned around and looked in the direction of the voice.
Maxine walked over wearing a set of red pajamas with her long chestnut-colored hair in disarray.
James cocked his eyebrow at Maxine. “Do you know about Spiritual Arts as well?”
Maxine nodded. She looked at Thea and said, “According to ancient scrolls, a devil appeared in the martial world
800 years ago. The devil was ruthless and killed indiscriminately without a single shred of mercy. His martial art
technique was unmatched, and no one in the whole martial world was able to stand up to him.
Countless powerful martial artists united and fought against him for eight days straight. Ultimately, their efforts
succeeded and he was killed. Spiritual Art and Spiritual Palm completely vanished from the martial art world since
then.
“Thomas Caden somehow acquired this set of martial arts. He disregarded the Cadens’ martial arts and practiced
Spiritual Art instead. Afterward, he lost control of his own energy and ended up slaughtering members of his own
family.”
James clenched his teeth as he listened to Maxine. “Grandpa was framed! It’s because someone sneaked up on him
while he was cultivating, causing him to suffer an Energy Deviation and lose control.” “That’s the version that was
passed on from Thomas to Thea and from Thea to you. Only Thomas knows the real truth of what happened,”
Maxine ignored his obvious hostility directed towards her whenever the subject of his grandfather came up.
Maxine looked at Thea and asked, “Have you noticed any discomfort while practicing, Thea?” “No. I don't feel
anything wrong with my body,” Thea replied confusedly.
James looked at Thea, stood in front of her, and said, “I just thought that her True Energy felt slightly unusual. Other
than that, I didn’t sense anything else abnormal. Plus, I don’t believe in such a thing as Devilish Energy. It wholly
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmdepends on a person’s character. One who practices traditional martial arts with ill intentions can also become a
devil.” “That’s not necessarily true. The reason why it’s called Devilish Energy is because cultivating it has
profoundly adverse effects on one’s judgment and nerves. This urges one to take perverse actions.”
James disagreed with Maxine’s point of view.
Martial art techniques were simply a tool to enhance one’s True Energy.
In the end, it’s a person’s own decisions that shape their character and choices.
“Honey, I don’t think there is anything wrong with Spiritual Arts.”
Maxine clicked her tongue. “Perhaps Janies is right. It depends on the cultivator. However, Spiritual Art and Spiritual
Palm are infamous for a bad reason. It’s an incredibly vicious martial technique. You must be careful while
cultivating and stop immediately the second you feel something’s off.”
Thea nodded half-heartedly. “Mhm, I’ll be careful.”
Maxine continued. “Aside from its terrible associations, the Spiritual Art is considered one of the strongest arts in
martial history. After all, there haven’t been many eighth-rank grandmasters since ancient times, but the devil who
created Spiritual Art is a peerless grandmaster at the peak of the eighth rank. They were very close to reaching the
ninth-rank.”
