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, ck 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.Shended firmly on the ground and


    excitedly rushed over to him.


    A huge smile was on her face as she shouted, "Honey, you’re back!"


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    James stared at Thea’s flushed face and asked, "Thea, what were you practicing? The aura around


    you just now felt incredibly strange."


    Thea exined, "It’s called Spiritual Art.Sir Caden taught it to me.When he was young, he came upon it


    by chance and 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 aplicated expression.


    "Mihm, 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, "ording 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 seeded and he was killed.


    Spiritual Art and Spiritual Palmpletely 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 ughtering


    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 difort 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 depends on a person’s character.One who practices traditional martial arts


    with ill intentions can also be 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 James 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."
