Yin & Yang Pleasures of Cultivation

For the second time in a row, Darcel and Aniela were reminded of just how mystical these Mages really are. Inside the magical blue cart that was plenty spacious to hold their whole group, everyone felt a Mage shift.

This sensation….none, not even Teacher Zala truly knew what to call it or how to pinpoint it. The best anyone could describe it as was tearing through the air itself!

This ride had even reminded Darcel and Aniela of how they got first transported to this planet. Whatever that powerful yellow-eyed woman did to them, she undoubtedly sent them through a shift in space.

Only, whatever power this Mage uses vastly differs from the yellow-eyed woman. Darcel and Aniela's usually supreme comprehension abilities were at an utter loss against this Mage's unique power.

Perhaps only a couple or few seconds have passed since they got on the cart. Darcel couldn't tell at all, but he and everyone else suddenly felt the cart stop and the Mage from just outside say,

"We're here."

The cool, calm, collected voice broke everyone from their slight stupor. A ray of mystical blue energy flashed beside where Teacher Zala was standing, creating an opening for the group.

"Ah? ….For the first time, I'm at a slight loss for words! Mages are really just so, well, magical!" Aniela remarked as she and the others walked off the cart.

Shai Xia and Hao Cao were chuckling at her awe comment while Darcel only shook his head.

"They only appear to be so mysterious because we haven't studied their system of energy. I'm sure if we do, then all that awe will vanish into smoke."

Darcel boldly said while shrugging his shoulders. Of course, he was surprised at a Mage power, but it wasn't like he also didn't hold his own unique abilities. '

Though unknown to Darcel, the Mage who was beside the cart, glanced his eyes towards him with an uncivil haze covering them.

"Fuuuu~, you really think you can learn the way of Magic? Well, if it's you, maybe it's not so much of an impossibility~...." Though her tone was teasing, there was assured confidence mixed in with it.

After all, her common sense was heavily altered by Darcel and Aniela. What's adding Magic to their arsenal any different from their already outrageous talent?

"Heh! I can bet a hundred green crystals either he or Aniela can learn Magic! A cultivator learning magic would also be a way to stick one-"

"I see everyone is off. Alright, follow me now; we'll have to do a short walk to the Asylum. And if you're wondering, Darcel, Aniela, no, it's impossible for a Mage to travel right near the Asylum."

Teacher Zala smoothly cut off Shai Xia, who was planning on further irritating their only Mage ride back home.

She quickly picked up on the Mage dissatisfied glances. With smooth elegance, she had then started walking off to the Asylum with the rest of the students immediately following behind her.

Trading glances with each other, Darcel and Aniela shrugged their shoulders since it was a small question they wondered when stopping here.

Their own mini-group quickly walked up to Teacher Zala as the other students shifted out of their way. They knew full well of the order chain of geniuses.

While walking up, Darcel and Aniela took the time to notice the more….rural atmosphere and scenery they were transported to.

Compared to the loud bustling of the city's central part, this area seems far quieter.

Barely anybody walked the road, and the ones who did just look shady and odd. Just glancing at these people's expressions, you can tell they're not the ones you should casually mess with.

Although they also had enough common sense to not mess with an Organized group like their Zakira Academy.

The buildings here were of a more antique old design, and some look like they were completely abandoned.

Indeed, this was a whiplash in feeling from just being in a lively area. Although the appearance of this area wasn't the most notable thing about this place.

As Darcel's group progressed further and further down this area, the buildings became less; fewer people roamed the streets. Above all, enchanting, mystical energy invaded everyone's Spirit Sense.

Darcel wrinkled his eyebrows, sensing this energy. It was….no, most definitely, just this mere small leakage was already above the mystical Magic power he felt before.

While Aniela and the girls were talking among themselves, Darcel was going to ask Teacher Zala about this. But surprisingly, like she could read his expression, Teacher Zala preemptively spoke up, saying,

"You're wondering about this energy, right? It admittedly is quite shocking. What we're feeling right now is the pure Magical prowess the Asylum holds. It's not nationwide famous without reason naturally."

Now the innate curiosity Darcel had towards the Asylum only increased further.

Whatever this place was, it was bound to have some profound secrets! Even Aniela felt her curiosity rise as she listened in on them while still holding her conversations.

Eventually, after around ten minutes or so of walking by what Darcel calculated, their large group finally encroach upon a ginormous profound looking building that'll capture your eyes from miles away.

No other buildings or structures surrounded this particular one. There also wasn't any sighting of the rough-looking people roaming the streets in this part of the area.

This lone building looked like it expanded on for miles! Amazingly enough, it's design wasn't antique or abandon but incomparably luxurious, fitting a royalty aesthetic.

And the most eye-catching feature was this building blaring glowing orange color that you could swear shine brighter than sunshine rays.

Up in front of this giant building were numerous large lines of people, all swiftly filing into this place. Now people are back to the usual high-class appearances Darcel seen all throughout the city.

Moreover, the natural auras of specific people were unfathomable.

Darcel reckon some here were equal or even stronger than Teacher Zala! Hell, Darcel might've sensed a presence that can even match the mighty Vice-Principal!

"Now then, remember to not resist any magical power that'll flow through you, we don't want any….unfortunate accident. Also, when the Asylum exits you out, group up with each other."

Teacher Zala explained to all of them as they promptly got in line. Seeing this grand Asylum up close made Darcel and Aniela recall just how odd this place history and prestige was.

Truthfully Teacher Zala wasn't kidding at all when saying this place is famous nationwide. Evidently, cultivators from higher ranks provinces will go out of their way just for this single event here.

And from the auras of some people, it definitely showed. But the mind-boggling thing for the duo was how did such a place come into being?

As far as the duo learned, apparently, a mysterious Mage expert set this place up countless millenniums ago.

It was speculated that Mage expert was finding answers to his own powers through other people's enlightenment insights.

The intangible thing was, frankly, no one truly knew who this Mage expert was or even sightings of him.

All the undeniable proof people had was the Asylum results. Everyone with a unique inborn Qi type greatly benefited from here after experiencing a bout of enlightenment.

Plus, no matter how high a person's cultivation realm was, no one can stay here for as long as they want. The Magical power here simply went far beyond anyone can ever describe.

A broad smile etched on Darcel and Aniela's faces as they drew closer to the Asylum entrance.

No matter how mysterious or powerful this place was, these two had full confidence in uncovering whatever profound secrets it has!

"It's a bit of a shame none of us will be transported together. All of us together would've made for a memorable experience." Hao Cao lightly sighed as their turn quickly approached.

Aniela had turned her broad smile on to Hao Cao now. With eager friendliness, she patted her shoulder, telling her, "Don't worry, after this, I'll make to give you a vivid detail of the sensation I felt to create a memorable image in your head!"

"Hm? Ah! Wait, I just realized! You two have inborn black fire Qi so you'll get lucky enough to be put together!" Shai Xia exclaimed as it was their turn right next.

"Maybe we will….or maybe we won't. Try not to waste this chance now." Darcel actually didn't think he would be paired up with Aniela considering their real inborn soul power vastly differs from each other.

And with his last encouraging words, the five of them came face to face with a bright multi-color portal. Staring into it only a few inches apart was almost too dazzling.

In a slight trance, Darcel walked through the portal first, followed by Aniela, Hao Cao, and Shai Xia. Stepping to what felt like another world, their eyes soon met with this dazzling multi-color space.

In this space, no one could see or sense each other, but they didn't panic.

Typically the process for this would be short, painless, and straightforward.

Darcel and Aniela knew they would be assorted into unique enlightenment places corresponded to their special Qi. And since their Elements should stand above the normal ones, the duo felt eager anticipation on where they would go.

However, immediately when they specifically walked through the portal, something was majorly off. Instead of a gentle smooth power flowing into them, their bodies had completely locked up.

Someone, they didn't know who it was, what it was, or how powerful they were, all they could tell some sort of being was boring their eyes into them.

While everyone else was teleported in seconds, the duo laid stuck there.

In this ominous frozen state, abruptly, their bloodlines began frantically stirring! It was as if something deep inside them was responding to a call of this higher being.

Once their bloodline had stirred, it was all enough for whoever was watching them to act. A strong suction force pulled up Darcel and Aniela, letting them feel like they were tearing through reality!

At speed they were going, the duo forcefully closed their eyes and braced for whatever impact coming at them. Only….after a few seconds, the suction stopped, and nothing violently crashed into them.

Opening their eyes, the duo were puzzled about just what the hell happened. However, all momentary confusion was put on hold once their vision came across an ethereal girl.

This girl….this girl was a supreme beauty! Far far higher than the likes of Teacher Zala. She looked like she was in her young teenage age with a slightly immature face that radiated a brilliant charm.

She had bright silverish long hair that elegantly swayed down to her tight rump like an enchanting waterfall. Her body, not yet fully developed, still puts other teenage girls to shame.

Twin towering peaks bounced from her bosoms, and she had nearly a perfect figure-eight body that'll bewitch your soul.

This girl wore a long beautiful white dress as well that only further served to highlight her beauty.

The only odd thing about this girl was that there were no legs at the bottom of her dress! She was also levitating a few feets of the ground, making her lack of legs especially noticeable.

Though this was only a slight oddity as the duo were pulled into this beautiful girl brightly smiling face as if she just won the world.

"Ah! Ah! Ah! After sooo long, I've finally met not just one, but another two that match big brother's description! Ohhh~! They might even overfit your description, big brother…."

The voice that soothed into the duo's ears was a lively, smooth one that instantly caused their guards to relax a bit.

Still, neither of them knew just what the hell was going on! Giving this beautiful girl a sweet smile on her own, Aniela asked, "Excuse us, but who are you, young beauty peach?"

Darcel didn't know for the life of him why Aniela called her a peach, but he couldn't deny that this girl certainly was a young beauty.

The beautiful young girl only broadened her smile once hearing Aniela. And with speeds incomprehensible to the duo, the girl had suddenly popped right in front of their faces.

"You'll definitely meet a big brother in the future….for now, let's take a rest." Under Darcel and Aniela's awe, they couldn't react at all as this beautiful young girl lightly bopped the tip of their noses.

The clear yet slightly translucent finger of the girl only barely touches the duo. Yet, instantly Darcel and Aniela stood like statues as they fell into a unique trance.
