Yin & Yang Pleasures of Cultivation

Chapter 200: Joyous News

"Holy Darcy! I never seen you outright do a mighty clash like that!" Aniela's voice was dripped in awe, and if Darcel could see her face, she would practically have stars in her eyes.

For all the fights she and Darcel have been through, he never really showed to perform dominating, clashing attacks like directly halting that rainbow color energy beam. 

Seeing Darcel take a rather imposing stance against the beam made Aniela feel legitimate wonder.

"I've seen you use those tendrils against living beings.but energy-based attacks? Just what exactly did you do?" Masami felt awe but was more curious about how Darcel utterly annihilated that beam.

She didn't think it was just because Darcel merely overpowered it at his full prowess. If that was true, Masami knew he would've just fired his Martial Kill or some other concentrated attack.

And considering that rainbow color beams could directly threaten their lives, Masami was highly inquisitive on how Darcel can come out completely unscathed. 

Darcel had just held up his left palm, clenching it.

The slight burning sensation from the beam quickly left him, and his palm didn't even look like it was charred.

Darcel looked back over to the girls, telling them, "It's basically the same thing I regularly do against living beings. My Darkness Essence invaded the beam in a similar manner to how I induced lust into people. Then I simply overloaded it with my power."

"I see." Both Aniela and Masami nodded simultaneously. 

Aniela began wondering the creative way she can use her pure Light energy. 

Compared to Darcel, Aniela mainly had one way of attacking with her Light energy, which is that stunning soul flashbang. And she wonders if she has a more variety of skills like Darcel's Yin Pleasure skills.

Masami as well wondered about the different ways she can use her blue fire essence. 

In her Sect, she wasn't really taught how to properly handle her flames, only getting taught the bare necessity because she was the Kitsui Leader Faction's daughter.

But now, with all that she had gained with Darcel and Aniela, Masami was sure she could go far above and beyond even the most advanced techniques her Sect has stored.

While the girls ponder on that subject, Darcel turned his body back around to the main reason why there were here. 

His eyes glazed over to the rainbow Crystalline still floating and pulsating in midair.

The rainbow Crystalline had a unique shape, being in beautiful star shape form. A lot of the rainbow Crystalline glow had heavily dimmed, but its remaining rainbow glow was strong enough to light up the whole small cave.

Darcel turned his sights beyond the rainbow Crystalline and quickly noticed there was nothing else here. It was just dirt-grayed walls surrounding them. 

Darcel fathoms that there could be a chance for a treasure to lie in the walls, but for now, he focused on the rainbow Crystalline.

He began walking close to the Crystalline and started to say, "So now that we have this peculiar thing-" 

"Now you can simply absorb it, Master. I'm amusing from how that Mage used it to attack; you can use it to absorb. The ancient legends also mention how beneficial these are to one's cultivation. And I'm sure Master and Mistresses will have no problem with abortion."

Bella had suddenly come into the cave with a timely explanation. 

She could easily tell that her Master and Mistresses have some sort of unique bodies considering how fast they broke through in just a span of a night.

And thinking further about it, Bella wasn't even sure she read about people so easily absorbing external resources and having no problem with their foundation. 

Bella kept this thought down for later research and kept her relaxed smile as she faced the trio.

Darcel, Aniela, Masami had briefly turned around when Bella had entered the cave and nodded at her. 

They knew it was impossible for Bella to lie to any of them. Furthermore, it made sense they could simply absorb it since a near-death Mage managed to manipulate the Crystalline effectively to the point of being able to threaten their lives.

Simultaneously, Darcel, Aniela, and Masami got near the star shape Crystalline. 

Staring intensely into its luxurious rainbow color was nearly hypnotic. The trio gaze quite literally got lost into the Crystalline. 

Without any thoughts from their minds, their bodies began moving on instinct. At the same time, Darcel, Aniela, and Masami gently placed their palm on the star shape Crystalline.

"Oh!" 

Darcel, Aniela, and Masami simultaneously leaked out surprised grunts. 

A jolt of incredible pure Qi energy shocked through their bodies and souls! Compared to the Qi constantly permeating the air, this Crystalline Qi energy was on another level of pureness and richness. 

It didn't even matter that Darcel and Aniela are in the True Soul Core realm. And Masami is in the Innate Core realm. 

The Crystalline Qi energy that ran through their bodies adjusted to each of their realm and levels.

Although, Darcel, Aniela, and Masami could clearly sense that the Crystalline Qi energy isn't as potent as before. They didn't get the same immense, powerful feeling as before. 

But, what was here was enough for all three of them.

Simultaneously, Darcel, Aniela, and Masami pulled the Crystalline Qi energy into their Spirit Sense. An incredible fresh wave of energy pools into their minds, making the trio relax more.

In a clear state of mind, Darcel, Aniela, and Masami began carefully directing the Crystalline Qi energy straight into their dantian space. '

The effects were immediate. In Darcel and Aniela's dantian space, they both felt their True Soul Cores grow a bit. And in Masami's dantian space, her Innate Core began pulsating.

On the outside, Darcel, Aniela, and Masami remained still. 

The rainbow Crystalline began to shimmer a bit as the trio quickly absorbed its Qi energy. 

'Hmmm.this will be a while.' Bella quietly thought to herself and headed to lean against the wall near the cave's entrance. 

She closed her eyes, but her senses were alert on anything.

.

It was at the Snow Angel District's massively multi interconnected building. Inside Snow Angel Leader Melea's office, a meeting between two of Darcel's Darkness Servants was taking place.

It was, of course, Melea and Zara meeting in Melea's office. 

Melea was sitting behind her desk with a slightly bewildered expression. Zara had just explained something entirely unexpected to her.

"Provinces Converging Day." Melea quietly uttered in disbelief. "Not even our ancient founders have any in-depth information on this event. But it always seemed like a fairy tale to me. Is that event really going to happen soon?"

Zara unhesitatingly nodded. "I wouldn't doubt Master's words for a second. And the Golden Crow Circle does have a far wider reach than any Mercenaries groups. Furthermore, this could also somewhat explain their drastically different behavior this year."

Melea paused, going into deep contemplation. 

She, of course, didn't doubt her Master's words, but she didn't trust either the Golden Crow Circle or the Lustrous Silver Jaguar Sect.

Both are extremely powerful organizations with numerous secrets to be held. And the Lustrous Silver Jaguar Sect are not known for divulging information so readily. 

Still, Melea also realizes that her Master was hiddenly spying on those Golden Crow Circle members, and those members would have no reason to lie to each other. 

Melea's eyes turned serious as she told Zara then,  "When Master and Mistresses finish with the little demons, we'll need to devise a strategic plan once they also get the other Leaders under them. I know you also read how even the second time that event happened, things still got brutal for the whole Nine Provinces."

"Indeed." Zara readily agreed and was about to talk again. 

But right then, her eyes and Melea's eyes snapped to the door. They both sensed a powerful presence rushing to Melea's office.

A second later, Melea's door burst open, revealing another beautiful woman. Though, out of the Snow Angel group's beautiful women, this woman radiated a far more icy, standoffish aura.

This woman's face was beautifully intimidating. She had dangerously sharp eyes, a half-cut on her sleek eyebrows, and a small scar going right under her right eye. 

And those distinct qualities didn't detract from her beauty but showcased the rough experiences she had in her dangerous life.

Her body was sexily bombastic, having a figure that could turn anyone's head. She had firm large mouth-watering breasts, bewitching curvaceous hips, and a sexily large round behind. 

The pure white robe she wore perfectly accentuated her bodily figure.

This woman was Snow Angel Leader Karis. And the icy eyes Leader Karis would usually carry was replaced by a noticeable slight joy. 

She only took a brief glance at Zara before reporting to Melea, "Leader Melea, I have excellent news. We must greet Leader Kyrha now. She finally broke through and became a ninth level Heavenly King!" 

Melea and Zara's eyes simultaneously widened a bit.

They already knew that Leader Kyrha was making rapid progress to a breakthrough. But they didn't expect it to be this fast. 

However, both Melea and Zara quickly calm back down.

Even if Leader Kyrha were to luckily breakthrough to being a tenth-level Heavenly King, neither of them still wouldn't be worried. 

Their confidence lies in the fact that their Master and Mistresses simply outclass all of them.

Just when Darcel, Aniela were at the fifth layer link of the True Soul Core realm and Masami was at the sixth rank of the Innate Core, the three of them could already outmatch ninth level Heavenly King power.

And now, Melea and Zara know the three of them made some breakthroughs last night with all those resources. Furthermore, there's not even telling how strong they can get with the Heavenly Crystalline treasure.

Melea trailed her eyes back over to Zara, telling her, "We'll further discuss this later. For now, I want you to continue your further check-up on any special resources that need distributing." 

Melea turned her attention to Leader Kryha. "Leader Khyra.let's go celebrate our new changed Leader! This is a joyous day now!"

Melea gave her usual chipper smile towards Leader Kryha. 

Leader Kryha simply nodded and walked out of the office. She didn't even bother to question why Melea was sending Zara to check up on the resources. 

Before leaving, Melea gave Zara one last look. Melea's jubilant smile turned into a mischievous crafty knowing one.

And even on Zara's usual indifferent face, her lips curved up into a devious smirk.
