Chapter 1314
After Thea left, she removed her mask and put it away. Then, she hurriedly returned to the hotel. Upon returning to
the hotel, she removed her overcoat and undergarments.
Wearing only thin clothing, she leaned on the sofa.
She did know whether her actions were appropriate. However, she had no choice. She mistreated James in the
past, dismissing all his care and concern for her. She only learned to appreciate everything after she had lost them.
Thea wanted to spend the remainder of her life with James. However, he only had the nation in mind. As long as Sol
remained in chaos, he would never wholeheartedly devote himself to her and live a secluded and comfortable life
with her. For James, she had no choice but to do this.
In Cansington…
James was in closed–door meditation to refine the Spirit Turtle’s core.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs the Spirit Turtle had lived for many thousands of years, its core contained potent and concentrated energy. Even
though it was fragmented into eight pieces, it still possessed terrifying power. Not only would it affect one’s mind,
but it would also make one’s True Energy more turbulent and violent. Thankfully, James had cultivated Ataraxia,
which Thea had given him. After absorbing the core’s energy, he used Ataraxia to forcibly suppress the violent
energy and the desires that were generated. In the end, he managed to completely refine this energy and turn it
into True Yang Energy.
As he concentrated his mind to cultivate, his martial art prowess grew stronger by the day. In the blink of an eye, a
month had passed. James had been in closed–door meditation the whole month.
He was almost halfway done with the core’s refinement. At that moment, he had already crossed into the peak of
the seventh rank and was only a step away from reaching the eighth rank.
While he was at the peak of the snow mountain at the Mount Thunder Sect, he discussed martial art with Simon
Cabral. Simon, meanwhile, revealed to him many things unbeknownst to him.
James now knew that there were three steps left to cross into the eighth rank after reaching the peak of the
seventh rank.
It was similar to when he crossed into the seventh rank from the sixth, only more difficult.
The three steps in order were: cultivating the five organs, the gathering, and the Five Spirits.
The five organs were the heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney.
The first step was comparatively easier. Once the five organs were nourished by powerful True Energy, they would
naturally be vitalized. When one reached such a realm, one could live for a very long time by nourishing them with
True Energy provided that said True Energy was not dispersed. Under normal circumstances, it would take only
around ten days to complete the first step provided that one has sufficient True Energy,
The second step was the gathering of the five organs‘ energy. This energy is not True Energy, but rather that of
vitality, which was shapeless energy.
The third step was the Five Spirits. Once one reached such a realm, one would have crossed into the eighth rank,

Meanwhile, everything was directly or indirectly related to True Energy. The stronger one’s True Energy, the faster
one would reach the third step.
James looked at the remaining core in his hand. Only half remained.
“The remaining energy should be enough to help me cross into the eighth rank,” he murmured.
Then, he continued cultivating.
Being enveloped by powerful True Energy, the core continued to be refined. Powerful energy was created, which
was absorbed into the five organs, nourishing them.
With the Spirit Turtle’s core, James finished the first step with ease.
Then, he completed the second step.
By the time the core’s energy was completely refined, he had gathered the energy of the five organs.
On the sixty–third day of his closed–door meditation, his body suddenly radiated five powerful energy which gushed
toward his head.
