Yin & Yang Pleasures of Cultivation

Time passes like the wind after Darcel and Aniela's chaotic duels. A few days have flown by since then, and Darcel could admit it, showing off that day was a splendid idea.

His main reasoning in believing so was his current position. In a spaciously beautiful courtyard, Aniela snuggled up against Darcel, leaning on to his chest. And he leaned on to a blooming purple tree.

The surrounding environment of this courtyard was absolutely stunning. Various exotic flowers, roses, and bushes elegantly grew throughout the place.

Plus, the Qi in this area was far purer and vibrant than the initiate level of the Academy.

However, what ultimately made this scene serene for Darcel was his cute little ditzy white hair girl in his arms.

His hand graciously wrapped over her adorable little stomach, both in pure tranquil bliss about the past few days.

With limited distraction, a far better environment, and a certified teacher, the duo cultivation grew at a calmer pace. They were currently at the Perfect Order of the Qi Formation Sea realm after taking the Qi Formation pills.

And these pills were genuinely wondrous!

Immediately when taking the pills, the duo was assaulted with frantic burst waves of Profound Qi.

For average cultivators, this would only give them a significant boost to their Qi Sea, shaving off months of cultivation to advance to the next Order level.

The only problem in pills, at least for average cultivators, is wasting the powerful surges of Qi forcefully ingested into your body. Most can waste up to sixty percent of the pill Qi!

Only geniuses with good enough talent could precisely take hold of a pill Qi energy and increase their absorption percentages. And, of course, Darcel and Aniela fell into this category.

As in a small test for themselves, Darcel and Aniela relied only on their comprehension and talent to absorb the pill. They knew if they used their bloodline, their results would undoubtedly be high.

But having a perfect base foundation would also undoubtedly make their bloodlines stronger. Just on their own, their results edged up to a fantastic eighty percent of the whole pill Profound Qi!

This result satisfied them more than even if they were to fully absorb the Qi Formation pill. They'll need to achieve a Perfected Equalizing Serene state in preparation for the Nascent Core realm's breakthrough.

Meaning this process couldn't be rushed or hasten at all. Plus, they can't lose focus during this breakthrough.

No outwardly distraction, only focused on themselves entirely. What had also helped the duo cultivate to this state was that besides Teacher Zala, no one dared to bother them.

Not even Giel's family tried to come looking for debts. And how could they or anyone else try the duo?

Once words officially spread out that the graceful Teacher Zala was directly guiding them, everyone realized the duo changed in status.

No matter how abrupt this change was, the point is, Darcel and Aniela are now protected by the second strongest Teacher in the whole Academy! Moreover, there's also the fact that the Vice-Principal may also have connections with the duo.

Just like with all other top-ranking geniuses, Darcel and Aniela became practically untouchable. And they achieved this in just a mere week since coming to the Academy.

Darcel had to crack a small smirk thinking upon this point. Honestly, he also had to admit Teacher Zala just wasn't all for show in terms of cultivation.

Her teaching style did broaden the duo view by a large margin.

She had taught them the accurate and precise way to direct their Qi, gather their Qi, and amplify their Qi. Plus, she also taught them various other aspects of cultivation to which the duo quickly absorbed up.

From the way energy crystals work to Martial Skills' hidden depths and the craftsmen of Spirit Weapons. Darcel and Aniela gained the essential fundamental knowledge that'll for sure help them in the long run.

Furthermore, Teacher Zala had even lightly sparred with them in formal martial arts training.

Although both Darcel and Aniela didn't see a huge need to use their fists, Spirit Weapons and their inborn powers are just more reliable options.

But they still got the basics of hand to hand combat nonetheless. Indeed Teacher Zala was a gold mine of experience.

Only...just only if her personality was as much of a goldmine.

That stiffness was still there in conversations though Darcel thinks Aniela is slowly cracking her shell. Although mostly what Teacher Zala wants to talk about is cultivation. It was a step, nonetheless, for Aniela.

Darcel, on the other hand, admittedly just found Teacher Zala a bit….boring.

Personally, he finds only dragging on about cultivation is rather dull. And while he isn't anywhere near as expressive as Aniela, Darcel finds queer personalities like her rather endearing.

He knows with someone like Aniela or even someone like the Vice-Principal. They would be able to shrug off his bluntness and snide with ease while also offering their own delightful replies.

Although that wasn't to say he didn't find anything amusing about Teacher Zala.

He, just by being his usual blunt self, can make Teacher Zala get sort of aggressive with him. Seeing her emote more than her standard indifferent face was quite an achievement Darcel gave himself.

Smirking at these thoughts, Darcel refocused back on the serene state he and Aniela are sharing. It's been a couple of hours since the two sat in this state, neither talking at all.

This was their first step in achieving the Nascent Core realm, utter tranquility.

And slowly but surely, in the firm, secure warmth of their bodies, Darcel and Aniela fell into a trance.

Their bloodlines that usually crazily swirl during their intimate moments suddenly became steady in perfect harmony.

Simultaneously, inside the duo dantians, their Qi Sea became perfectly steady and calm. Darcel's Darkness Qi Sea ran along for twenty miles long, glowing a perfectly blended mix of Darkness and black flames.

Aniela's white light Qi Sea also ran along for twenty miles long. Her Qi Sea shimmered a dazzling glowing mix of the element of light and pure pitch-black flames.

Because of their perfect comprehension of Profound Qi, the duo had expanded their Qi Sea to twenty miles long!

And now, as their Qi Sea sparkingly glimmered, their Spirit Senses broke into an enlightenment state along with their Qi Seas.

The state where one truly reaches the absolute peak of the Qi Formation Sea realm! At this stage, both Darcel and Aniela's body had completed their remodeling and were ready to break through to the next realm.

Darcel's eyes shimmered a profound dark black glow, illuminating the world in Darkness. Aniela's eyes dazzled a sparkling white light glow, spewing out ethereal grace.

Neither of the two move, becoming entirely still under this enlightenment state.

Truthfully, to achieve this state would require far, far more time than what the duo performed. Top tier talents could even take up to a whole month of enlightenment before ever getting close to this perfected state.

However, on their own, Darcel and Aniela just keep on surpassing the known limit this mortal planet knows off. Furthermore, this blindingly fast achievement didn't just slow down here.

In only a few minutes after achieving enlightenment, both of their Spirit Senses manage to pick up on a mystical, powerful Qi.

Powerful Qi that they….had already nearly sensed before!

Yes, their minds had suddenly recalled back to the time where they fought Giel's assassin.

What the duo encroach on was pure, unfiltered Nascent Qi! Similar to that assassin incomplete Nascent Qi but now at a significantly higher level.

Swiftly, their Spirit Senses plunged right into this Qi, wanting to greedily absorb and breakthrough.

However, in the process of comprehending the first bit of Nascent Qi, the duo felt their minds briefly get crushed under this enormous pressure.

This immense dominating pressure….it was the pressure of the Mental Block of Nascent Qi! To transcend into Nascent means to altogether leave one former shell and enter into a new state being.

Something of which takes even the peak tier of geniuses months to do!

But in Darcel and Aniela's mind, something spontaneously awoke then. They didn't know what it was, but in their mind, they felt a vibrant, profound deep sensation never touched before by them.

In Darcel's head, he heard a loud but warming blooming voice speak with awe inspiring power.

"Yin is the basis. Yin brings forth pleasure!"

At the same time, in Aniela's mind, she heard a gentle, mesmerizing tender voice say with power,

"Joy blooms in all. Light is a connection!"

'KA-CHA!!'

Loud glass shattering pops reverberated in Darcel and Aniela's minds. They didn't know who or what that voice was, but they did understand it had to do something with their bloodlines.

Their inborn Qi was violently swirling along with their bloodlines after those voices appeared into their minds.

Unknowingly, it quickly pushed the duo to greedily absorb the Nascent Qi since they already utterly shattered the Nascent Core beginning mental block.

For now, they had no time to put their attention on their Qi and bloodlines as Nascent Qi swiftly poured inside them.

In a similar process, like when breaking through to the Qi Formation Sea realm, the duo converted the Nascent Qi into their inborn soul powers.

Darcel created pitch-black Darkness Nascent Qi while Aniela formed bright white Light Qi.

With the utmost precision, Darcel and Aniela slowly infused their whole bodies with Nascent Qi. While doing this, they also carefully poured their special Nascent Qi's into their dantian, gradually transforming their entire Qi Seas.

It took some time, but their once twenty miles long Qi Seas, transformed into a vague phantom image. This image took on the appearance of a core as large as a chicken egg.

Forming this core only meant one thing. Both Darcel and Aniela officially entered into the Nascent Core realm! Plus, they already achieved a phenomenal feat by the size of their core just at the first level.

Compared to other cultivators just breaking through to the first level, Darcel and Aniela's core are far bigger than the tiny size core one would typically form.

Moreover, the duo cores already exhibit their own uniqueness. Darcel's phantom Nascent Core was pure black with phantom wisps of black fire spewing out of it.

Aniela's Nascent Core was pure white with phantom wisps of black fire spewing out of hers. The two took a few more minutes to stabilize their breakthrough, causing,

'BANG!!'

Two tremendous waves of Nascent Qi power to wildly gush out in their whole luxurious courtyard! Flowers, trees, bushes, and roses all crazily swayed from the sheer power the duo now exuded.

For Darcel and Aniela, they felt a complete powerful change to their whole state of being. The breakthrough to the Qi Formation Sea realm couldn't be compared to this.

Their bodies were numerous times more powerful, their Spirit Senses massively broadened to a point where they could sense out for several miles. And their Qi's were on another level of pureness.

Slowly, the duo opened their eyes.

A simple action actually caused the whole scenery to briefly change.

If anyone was here to catch this, their eyes would've bear witness to a magnificent, glorious sight of a courtyard entirely in an elegant black and white color mix.

For only a mere second, Darcel's eyes spewed out rich Darkness, and Aniela's eyes spewed out sparkling white light.

No matter who the person was or how high their realm was, they would've undoubtedly been awed at this magical view.

But as soon it came, did this view quickly end as the duo blinked their eyes. Darcel's vision only peered down to Aniela's beautiful black eyes that bored into his.

"The Nascent Core realm….that was….I feel….I can't ever forget this moment for my whole long life!! This! This is what you call becoming transcended!" Aniela spoke with a fervent passion tone, obviously still excited after their breakthrough.

"In a simpler way, we've finally taken the first step in transcending mortal hood. And you know what? I have the perfect reward for us." Darcel gained a smile that was a bit sinful as he took in Aniela's graceful cute face.

Hearing Darcel's tone and seeing that sinful face crack on his charming face, Aniela gained a slight blush, but her face spilled over in a wide beautiful smile.

"Show it to me then, Darcy~."

Tenderly, Darcel took hold of Aniela's soft chin. No other words needed as Darcel swooped in and kissed Aniela's dazzling cherry red lips.

"Mnh~!"

Aniela leaked out a divine moan that was like music for Darcel's ears. It ignited a burning passion for both of them.

Immediately their mouths opened, allowing for their tongues to engage in this elegant steamy hot dance. This type of lustful kiss sent waves of pleasures throughout the duo.

It truly was heaven for Darcel. Aniela's delectable tongue had an addicting taste that he didn't want to stop dining on.

His arms pulled Aniela in close as she turned her body around, allowing for her soft, modest breast to squish in on his chest.

Everything about Aniela was just so soft and squishy that Darcel never gets tired of holding her.

Their deep tongue-tied kiss lasted for a minute, and Darcel felt this gnawing growing feeling to just give Aniela even more pleasure!

But it wasn't quite right.

Mainly because Darcel felt his Darkness violent react more than even his bloodline.

This isn't the two first time kissing deeply like this, but it was the first time Darcel felt his Darkness get even more violent in wanting to pull Aniela in.

Luckily, Darcel can count himself experienced in this as he efficiently suppressed his Darkness and still enjoyed Aniela's heavenly sweet tongue.

"Ahn~..."

Aniela knew of Darcel Darkness acting weirdly since he told her. However, she honestly couldn't focus much on it since his kisses still feel too good either way.

Slowly they both broke the kiss after a few minutes. A hot steamy trail of saliva connected their mouths as their smiles were full of affection to one another.

"Maybe because of our recent breakthrough but this…?"

Aniela had stopped herself short when she and Darcel sensed the familiar aura of Teacher Zala heading their way.
