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.
As 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.
