Yin & Yang Pleasures of Cultivation

Chapter 296: The Great Magical Realms



Currently, neither Aniela, Masami, or Siren Blade could open their eyes. The energy releasing from the Magical Marks made it impossible to do so. 

And as time went on, the reaction Darcel caused in the Magical Marks became much more intense.

Soon enough, Aniela, Masami, and Siren Blade began to feel a distinct sting on their eyes. At the sudden slight pain, the three of them almost jumped in surprise. 

Their minds were thrown in for a loop again. They all were thinking, 'just how can his breakthrough be this intense?!' 

Siren Blade especially couldn't understand this phenomenon. He understood the Magical Marks to a high degree and knows Magical Marks doesn't have unlimited energy. 

These specific Magical Marks may have been crafted by ancestor-level Mages, but there was a limit on its energy.

However, that limit was just nowhere to be seen in regards to Darcel's breakthrough. 

In any case, no questions could be asked now.

Aniela, Masami, and Siren Blade were forced to circulate energy within their eyes just to resist this new wave of power from the Magical Marks.

It was only a shame that neither of them could open their eyes. If they could, their minds would become even more bewildered. 

Even though the Magical Marks were growing in energy, its crimson glow was actually getting overshadowed.

The Darkness energy streams released from Darcel's bloodline arm grew to a height where it nearly drowned out the crimson glow. Now the room looked like it was plunged into the abyss with only streams of crimson spewing out of it.

And at the center of it all, a Darkness Wing blasted out of Darcel's bloodline arm!

Darcel's Darkness Wing exuded an authentic ethereal feel. 

The airwaves around Darcel seemed to tremble just by the mere presence of the Darkness Wing. 

Similar to Aniela's Light Wing, Darcel's Darkness Wing looked absolutely majestic. Furthermore, his Darkness Wing also appeared slightly larger than Aniela's. 

At the same time this happened, within Darcel's Dantian Space, his Innate Core now had nine vast cracks splitting it open.

Turbulent waves of powerful Heavenly Qi gushed out of each crack, transforming his Dantian space into a violent tempest of immense energy. 

And of course, Darcel's Insect Magical Core transformed into a Dragon phantom image Magical Core.

His abundance of Magical Energy overlapped with both his Qi energy and bloodline powers. The might releasing from Darcel was simply incredible. 

At this point, Aniela, Masami, and even Siren Blade had the illusion that Darcel surpassed them all.

A few seconds passed, and the Magical Marks finally lost their luster. 

Simultaneously, Darcel retracted his energy, causing his Darkness Wing to vanish back inside his body.

Feeling the abundance of power coursing through him did cause Darcel to get legitimately pumped. It indeed did feel like he broke through an invisible shackle that was tightly locking him down.

Still, Darcel never lost his cool, calmly gazing over at Aniela, Masami, and Siren Blade as they opened their eyes. 

Similar to the girl's breakthrough, there was only silence and awe filling the air.

Although this time, the silence seemed more dominating. 

Even after retracing his powers, neither Aniela, Masami, or even Siren Blade wanted to move from their spots. The ethereal aura that washed over them left a profound mark deep within their cores.

Darcel didn't quite understand their intense reaction, believing his breakthrough was simply the same as his girl's. 

Still, in a not too hurried stride, Darcel walked over to the girls and felt amusement rise within him.

Under their silent gazes, Darcel started to pet the girl's lushes hairs while teasingly saying, "Did I raise too much hell? You all seem more enthralled with me than usual."

Immediately, Aniela and Masami jerked up from their stupors. 

"Ah?/Hmph!" 

Aniela shook her off Darcel's hand with a gaze filled with curiosity while Masami flung his hand off and haughtily crossed her arms.

"Darcy….that brief moment of power. It was so similar to mine yet so different. Hmmm…." 

Aniela fell into another deep contemplation. She truly couldn't get over the tingles her bloodline caused while Darcel broke through.

"Have no idea what's going on with her but, Darcel, we can only see where it actually lies in true combat!" Masami aggressively spoke, attempting to cover up the pressure she felt before.

Since she's now a Heavenly Transformation powerhouse, Masami at least wanted to believe she holds some kind of slight edge in their team. 

Although, it was getting quite challenging to think so after Darcel and Aniela's breakthrough. Still, the competitive spirit within her wouldn't die down. 

Wryly smiling at both girl's reactions, Darcel just had to shake his head. He then turned his sights towards Siren Blade.

Satisfied by his sheer bewilderment, Darcel asked him, "Since we've all finished the ritual, what now? I'm assuming our results are more than a success now?" 

Siren Blade dumbfoundedly blinked for a few moments. His brain had to quickly catch up, processing every mind-shattering moment that happened in just the span of a few minutes. 

Three powerful Spirit Mages. If anyone were to know of this, their reactions would be even more intense than Siren Blade's.

At this point, Siren Blade wanted to tell himself that this was all some sort of bizarre dream. However, with the stinging pain he previously felt, he knows this was all real.

Suppressing the turbulent waves in his mind, Siren Blade first started to explain, "You three….are you perhaps aware at all about the Great Magical Realms?" 

"Great Magical Realms? No, not at all."

Darcel briefly glanced over towards the girls, mainly wondering if Masami would know something. 

Aniela predictably shook her head, already coming out of her previous stupor.

While Masami put a finger to her chin, adopting a thinking position. She only thought about it for a few moments before shrugging her shoulders. 

"Nope. My Grandmother mainly just taught me about cultivation realms."

Siren Blade went silent as a strange light flashed within his eyes. Despite achieving history, none of them were even aware of the gravity of their own situation. 

This was undoubtedly one of the strangest moments in Siren Blade's life.

Still, he supposed they can't solely be blamed for this. Just minutes ago, they were at the starting realms and, under normal circumstances, would need to climb the ranks of Magical Energy just like anyone else.

Unfortunately though, they were far past the boundary of any semblance of normality. 

Releasing a small sigh, Siren Blade shook his head as he started to explain, "You see, your performance right now is quite mind-boggling. The three of you managed to reach the Spirit Mage realm in just a single step. To preface this, the previous realms were Elementary, Nascent, Advanced, High, and Gold. Each Magical Realm requires a Mage to undergo at least dozens of years of practice before making any significant progress. Even I needed hundreds of years before achieving the Spirit Mage Realm, and I'm considered a top-tier talent here. Yet, you three are already at the Spirit Mage Realm within mere minutes. With all this in mind, you can see how your results are quite….mystical."

No words were shared between Darcel, Aniela, and Msami after hearing Siren Blade's explanation. 

With the full context, they became even more bewildered with their Magical Energy.

After all, though their cultivation talent is insanely high, it would be impossible for them to jump several great realms in a single leap. 

And from Siren Blade's words, they also could understand that Magical Energy is nearly identical in the arduous work one must put into advanced.

The trio attempted to wrack their mind to find any reasonable conclusion about this impossibility. However, no answer seemed suitable enough. 

They all assumed this must be the working of their Chaotic Shards.

But during this entire process, neither Darcel, Aniela, or Masami felt their soul's core pulsate even once. 

The only reasonable thing Darcel could believe is that perhaps their soul's core did react, and he just didn't notice it?

That was hard to believe, considering he could feel even the slightest reaction from his soul's core. Still, there were no other options to look to as their Chaotic Shard does hold abilities that break common senses.

Pulling himself from his thoughts, Darcel could only nod at Siren Blade and say, 

"I see. So we indeed have something extraordinary about us. However, we are completely clueless on why this happens. All we did was use the ritual according to your instructions."

"Right….right you all indeed did." Siren Blade took one last sigh before continuing to say, 

"In any case, since it happened like this, you three can skip a lot of the process and officially become high-ranking members. However-"

Suddenly, Siren Blade clamped his mouth. His body turned utterly rigid as if he had just encountered someone who has his utmost respect. 

Darcel, Aniela, and Masami quirked their eyebrows.

Darcel was about to ask what was wrong when a faint red flash stopped his, Aniela, and Masami's trains of thoughts. 

The trio snapped their attention to right beside Siren Blade like a hawk, feeling utterly surprised.

As if he appeared from thin air, a tall elderly man wearing a uniquely designed Crismon Mage Robe stood next to Siren Blade.
