“True Energy? What‘s that?” James asked.
“Let me think how I should break it down for you…” Blake massaged his temples, trying to think of an easier way to explain it to James, but to no avail.
He had only heard of it and was still far from reaching the level of cultivating True Energy.
Blake racked his brain for a while and said, “To put it simply, it‘s an energy that one is born with… Since ancient times, martial arts have been divided into two categories, external and internal.” He glanced at James.
“You‘ve reached the pinnacle of External Martial Arts, and to reach your highest potential, you have to learn to cultivate True Energy.”
James‘ face was grim. Blake‘s words opened his eyes. He never expected such an unrealistic thing as True Energy to exist.
“So, how am I supposed to cultivate True Energy?”
Blake explained, “You‘ll have to use a specific cultivation method… Since ancient times, different grandmasters have practiced exclusive cultivation methods, which were then passed on to their descendants and kept a secret from outsiders. Unfortunately, such martial arts have been lost, and modern martial arts only consist of External Martial Arts. Very few people know about Internal Martial Arts.”
“And you know of a cultivation method?”
“No…” Blake shook his head.
“No? Then, what‘s the point? I‘m highly suspicious that you‘re bluffing, Blake,” James‘ face darkened.
“Why would I lie to you? Everything I‘ve said is true! However, I don‘t know of any cultivation methods. I would‘ve already become a grandmaster myself if I did,” Blake said helplessly.
He had learned all of this from his grandfather.
A hundred years ago, countless grandmasters existed in Sol. A thousand years ago, Sol was home to numerous sects. The martial world read in novels was not a fairy tale but actually existed.
James fell into thought, trying to determine whether Blake was telling the truth. Judging by Blake‘s expression, it did not seem like favonovel.com was bluffing.
At that moment, the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside‘s Edge crossed his mind.
Bobby revealed that the secrets to immortality were hidden in the painting. He thought of the ancient scroll from the chest unearthed from the Prince of Orchid Mountain‘s tomb. It recorded eighteen human bodies marked with meridian and acupuncture points that did not match up to modern medical practices.
If favonovel.com was not mistaken, the secrets hidden within the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside’s Edge must contain an ancient cultivation method. Combining the eighteen meridian diagrams would allow favonovel.com to acquire a cultivation method.
James took a deep breath, considering the possibility of his theory.
He looked at Blake and asked, “Is there a grandmaster out there who‘s capable of cultivating True Energy?”
Blake nodded and answered, “Of course! Sol is thousands of years old. Even though sects have vanished, their descendants still inherited and passed down their cultivation methods. However, most of them aren‘t interested in fame and fortune and have chosen to stay hidden from the world. Thus, no one knows about them.”
“Are you acquainted with someone like that?”
