    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!”


    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.


    “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, “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.”
