Chapter 826
James did not want to simply act carelessly before he had all the facts in front of him.
Gloom glanced at James and asked, “What do you want to know?”
“I want to know more about the plan a century ago and the incident where the King wiped out the Gu Sect. I want a thorough explanation of the current power dynamics within the Capital.” Gloom remained silent. After a while, he shook his head. “It’s too complicated. It’s too hard for me to explain with words only. You’ll come to understand soon.”
James said, “One last question.”
Gloom looked at him. “Go ahead.”
“Who’s the current King’s preferred candidate in the fight for succession? Where does he stand on this matter?”
Gloom said, “I don’t know who he’s eyeing at the moment. However, I can say with certainty that the nation’s development is at the forefront of every decision the King makes. Everything he does is for the sake of the people, not to purge his political opponents.”
When he heard this, James let out a small sigh of relief.
“By the way… Earlier when you said that I’m now a grandmaster of martial arts, you mentioned that I’m not even a first rank. What did you mean by that?”
“Naturally, there’s a ranking system for the cultivation of True Energy.”
James tilted his head. “I’d like to know more.”
Gloom continued, “The first rank is the lowest stage of cultivation, while the ninth rank is the highest.”
“That’s it?”
Gloom replied dryly, “This isn’t rocket science, you know?”
“Then how strong would one be at ninth rank?”
Gloom sank into silence. After a few seconds, he shook his head. “I don’t know. For thousands of years, there haven’t been any records of anyone reaching the ninth rank. If there really was someone, the only person that comes to mind is the Prince of Orchids. He’s the lord of the Ancient Four’s ancestors.”
James took a deep breath. He did not expect Gloom to know about this too.
“How about the eighth rank?”
“Records of them are few. As far as I know, only the Ancient Four’s ancestors have reached such a rank. However, thousands of years have passed, and they are all now buried deep beneath the earth.” Gloom explained yet again.
“Then the seventh rank?”
