When the Malevolent King was nearing death, he had a clear mind.
He did not want the evil sword technique he had spent a century developing to be lost. So, before he died, he carved it on the stone wall and left his last words.
“Those who lack sufficient merit should not practice.”
Thomas could not help but sigh when he read that. He was in the eighth rank.
With his strength, he would still have been considered one of the top elites a thousand years ago, yet he could not practice the cultivation method and the evil sword technique that was documented on the stone wall.
“He was just another unfortunate man, trapped here for a century. On top of that, he had been drifting in and out of insanity throughout that time.”
Thea glanced at the texts and depiction on the stone wall absentmindedly. If even Thomas could not practice it, she certainly would not be able to.
“Sir Caden, let’s find a way out as soon as possible. We don't know how things are going out there or how James is doing.” Thea was worried about the situation outside and about James. She could not wait to leave.
“There’s no rush.”
Thomas gave a slight wave of his hand and said, “James is very powerful now. He has already reached the seventh rank. The elites in the eighth rank outside are all injured. Their strength has significantly dwindled. On top of that, there are troops dropping bombs randomly. Even if they survive, they have no chance against James.”
He was surprisingly unconcerned about James.
Thomas pointed to the writings on the stone wall and said, “The cultivation method documented on the stone wall is Ataraxia. The Malevolent King was always slipping in and out of madness, suffering from the turtle blood. To alleviate his pain and control the Beast Blood, he created this cultivation method. I think you can practice it.”
Thea was tainted with the turtle’s blood. Thomas was worried that her energy would deviate and she would lapse into insanity like the Malevolent King. This cultivation method would benefit her.
“Sit in a lotus position,” Thomas instructed.
“Okay.”
Thea sat cross-legged on the ground.
With his hands behind his back, Thomas stood in front of her and instructed, “You have to remember everything that I say. You don’t need to cultivate it now as you currently lack the strength to do so. Just memorize it and cultivate it in the future.”
“Yes, I understand.” Thea nodded.
Thomas began to impart to Thea what was written on the stone wall.
