Chapter 5065
"Stillness, as in mental fortitude," King Marciais clarified. "In the past, I was too impatient,
which consistently impeded my progress toward mastering the pinnacle of Divine Martial
Art. It wasn't until I was defeated by Xeraiah and spent countless eons on the back
mountain that I truly comprehended it. I hope to spare you from wandering down too
many convoluted paths. You’ll grasp all of this when you genuinely fathom the Divine
Martial Art."
King Marciais stood and patted James on the shoulder, saying, "Cultivation is an endless
journey. Beyond the Chaos Completare Rank lies the Sovereign Rank. The Marciais Path
within the Divine Martial Art I established only extends to the Chaos Completare Rank. In
my estimation, if you can attain the Sixteenth Rank of the Marciais Path, it should be on
par with the Sovereign Rank. I have great expectations for you. I hope you can surpass my

'The Sovereign Rank?" James gazed at the distant mountains and rivers.
The higher the cultivation base, the more the knowledge, the more profound the mysteries
of the world.
He had once believed that humans on Earth were the sole life form. Then, he came to
accept the existence of a single universe. Subsequently, twelve universes unfolded. Later
on,
the Dark World emerged, followed by the Greater Realms. However, he now understood
that the Greater Realms were merely a single district among many. Now, there were the
Endlos' Ten Districts. However, they did not represent the true boundaries of the cosmos.
Beyond them lay an expansive Dark World, and beyond the Dark World, even more
formidable Extraterrestrial Demons existed.
Powerhouses like Lady Tehila and Emperor Raiah had ventured into the worlds where
Extraterrestrial Demons resided. James held a strong belief that, sooner or later, he too
would follow in their footsteps and explore the realms beyond the Endlos into a wider
world.
"Phew!" He drew a deep breath and cleared his mind of distractions, ceasing to dwell on
Thea or external concerns. Standing up, he sensed the presence of the herb garden and
proceeded toward it, gathering the Empyrean herbs.
Subsequently, he made his way toward the back mountain.
There was an isolated manor in the back mountain. James arrived at the front of it, pushed
open the gate, and entered the courtyard.
In the courtyard, several magical trees were planted, and a swing was positioned nearby.
In a trance, James appeared to see a pure-hearted girl seated on the swing, her laughter
harmonizing with its gentle swaying. After a brief moment of astonishment, he proceeded
toward the house at the front of the manor.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe pushed open the door. The room was spacious, devoid of any furnishings, with only a
grassy meadow. Even though this room had not been inhabited by living beings for many
years, it remained untainted.
James walked over, settled into a lotus position on the meadow, and then waved his hand
to establish a time formation around the courtyard. However, he did not rush to absorb
the Empyrean herbs for cultivation, nor did he hasten to ascend to the Chaos Essencia
Rank, enhance his bloodline power, or attain the Fourteenth Rank of the Marciais Path.
He reflected on his life, from the fire to this Endlos Journey. All of his past experiences
floated through his mind, and many people he had held in his memories for a long time
also appeared in his recollections.
Recalling the past felt like reliving one's life, experiencing it once more. It was only at this
moment that James began to grasp the meaning of King Marciais' words. He started to
approach the threshold of Martial Stillness.
