Yin & Yang Pleasures of Cultivation

Chapter 310: Great Speed

Almost instantly, Darcel, Aniela, and Masami melded into their usual cultivation trance. Their minds focused up entirely, delving right into comprehending the Low Success Stage of the Mystical Aura Arts.

As the description foretold, this Magical Art requires stimulation of both their Heavenly Core and Magical Core. 

If one's talent is just slightly lacking in either field, then this Art would be impossible to learn.

But of course, having the highest talent many cultivators or Mages had ever seen before, no lasting problem persisted for either Darcel, Aniela, and Masami. 

At this time, Darcel was perfectly following the Mystical Aura Arts instruction.

To achieve the Mystical Aura state, he had to follow the very calculated instructions. Attempting this on his own would only lead to failure. The specific instructions were creating a direct energy link between his Heavenly Core and Magical Core.

This energy link would be comprised of Qi and Magical energy directly from both his Heavenly Core and Magical Core, respectively. 

While Darcel had boundless confidence in his talent, he didn't rush right into stimulating his two Cores.

For the best results, he carefully took his time, slowly reaching the deepest part of his two Cores. 

Falling into a steady motion, Darcel circulated the purest Qi and Magical Energy he could possibly muster.

Minutes quickly passed. 

And by the tenth-minute mark, Darcel finally pulled out a stream of both Qi and Magical Energy. 

These two energy streams weren't particularly powerful. But had the purest essence Darcel could hope to muster at his cultivation level. 

Then, following the Mystical Aura Arts guide, Darcel began melding these two energy streams together.

This entire process occurred right within Darcel's Heavenly Dantian. But though Darcel still refers to it as a Heavenly Dantian, in truth, the correct term would be a Magical Dantian Space.

When Mages begin the road in absorbing Magical Energy, the lower part of their stomach transforms into a Magical Space, allowing the Magical Core to form there. 

The same process would also occur in a Mage's soul, becoming the underlying foundation to promoting their Magical Strength.

As for cases when a cultivator is lucky enough to become Mages, their once cultivation Dantian's would experience a dramatic shift towards Magical Energy. 

The coexistence of both a Qi core and a Magical Core blends together to allow that cultivator Mage to wield both types of energies.

But though they coexist, any average cultivator Mage would find it impossible to stimulate both energies simultaneously.

Not only does most cultivator Mage have terrible Magical talent, but they also need to have a perfect 50-50 focus. 

All of this made for heavily strict requirements to practice the Mystical Aura Arts.

Even Darcel encountered slight resistance when wanting to connect his Qi and Magical Energy streams. 

It felt similar to wanting to connect two opposite magnetic forces; these energies weren't ever meant to smoothly interconnect.

At least, that's what it felt like to Darcel. 

However, the resistance didn't dissuade Darcel at all. He simply kept at, slowly but surely connecting the energy streams together all the while his head began to gradually throb in pain. 

The mental energy he needed for this task was very draining, Moreso than when he cultivates either his Qi or Magical Energy. 

For one of the few times in life, Darcel experienced the rapid negative effects of Mental energy drainage.

But Mental Pain wasn't anything Darcel couldn't deal with. He certainly experienced much worse types of pain on this journey. 

With a determined mind, Darcel continued connecting the energy streams.

More time seemed to slip by in an instant. Without the trio even being aware of it, a whole hour has passed. 

And it was finally by this time a dark, crimson mixed vortex light flashed within Darcel's Magical Dantian Space. 

Out from both Darcel's phantom Dragon Magical Core and gray Innate  Core was a completed mix line of energy! 

Despite the previous resistances, Darcel shattered through the invisible barrier, thoroughly combining Qi and Magical Energy.

'Hua~!' 

Right then, a faint darkness, crimson mixed aura shrouded Darcel's body. 

At the same time, Darcel fused into the mystical aura state. His eyes became completely clear, and his breathing stilted. 

There was no other thoughts in Darcel's mind. He only perceived two presences of incomparably rich energy. 

These energies were Qi and Magical energy. 

Under this state, Darcel's body transformed into an intense vortex vacuum.

In the air, small black spatial cracks ripped open, unleashing an unending wave of chilling Qi and Magical Energy. 

But instead of wreaking havoc of power like spatial cracks typically do, the types of energies flowed into one point.

That point is Darcel's darkness, crimson aura body. 

Because of the Mystical Aura state, Darcel was directly pulling the richest of Magical and Qi energy straight from a different dimension in the spatial zone!

It didn't matter where these cracks in the spatial zone was occurring. Any type of energy that transferred through this dimension was of the highest quality. 

If Darcel was fully aware, he would've recognized that the current energy quality was far higher than even the Snow Angel's mercenary group Qi Haven area!

And as Darcel circulated his Mystical Aura state, the same profound changes were finally occurring within Aniela and Masami. 

The girls just needed a slightly longer duration to finally combine their Qi and Magical Energy stream.

And once another five minutes passed, the girl's Mystical Aura finally formed. 

Aniela's Mystical Aura appears as a beautiful mix of white Light and crimson, looking more radiant than Darcel's.

While Masami's Mystical Aura took on a shimmering mix of fiery blue and crimson, appearing as vibrant, full of vigorous life. 

Around both Aniela and Masami, small black cracks in the spatial zone formed.

Under their Mystical Aura state, the girls greedily pulled in rich energy as if they were a magnetic vortex. 

At this moment, if anyone were to come inside the room, they would've certainly mistaken it as the purest of Holy Land.

Any average cultivator or Mage would feel an intense pull to began greedily absorbing the rich energy permeating this specific area. Upon doing so, that cultivator and or Mage could reach a small breakthrough in no time at all.

This is provided if their comprehension is high enough to reach the next level. But still, the results would be mind-shattering. 

For Darcel, Aniela and Masami, though their comprehension is already insane, it was further made irrelevant because of their Mystical Aura state.

While like this, the complex properties of both Qi and Magical Energy was automatically bypass. Their need for any sort of comprehension was somehow made even more trivialized. 

As the minutes trickled down, Darcel, Aniela, and Masami were experiencing rapid, profound changes. 

In just this short amount of time from using the Mystical Spirit Arts, the trio already sensed they shaved off days of regularly cultivating! 

Both their Heavenly and Magical Cores was now growing at a rate that would be impossible for them to ever achieve on their own. 

But before the trio could go too far, they all suddenly felt an intense drain from their Mental Energy.

A sharp, pinging pain pounded their heads, ruining their Mystical Aura states, bringing all three of them back to reality. 

"Nng." 

At the same time, Darcel, Aniela, and Masami released a slight collective groan.

Mental Energy drainage was far intenser than they could have ever expected. 

On the other side for more normal Mages and cultivators, Mental Energy is rapidly used for any type of practice.

Be it cultivating Skills, cultivation Arts or Magical manuals, or just simply trying to attack a breakthrough. A person's Mental Energy corresponds with their comprehension talent. 

Meaning the higher the talent, the longer a person can cultivate and the more complex of information they can take in. 

This is partly the reason why people's close door practice can take up to dozens or even hundreds of years, 

So though Darcel, Aniela, and Masami were only in the Mystical Aura state for merely minutes, this result was still excellent. 

Any other cultivator Mage wouldn't even last a full five seconds before experiencing a tremendous headache.

"Fuu~. What a skill." Darcel quietly muttered, his headache already quickly subsiding. 

Truly just from those brief minutes, he felt significantly more powerful than before.

With this kind of rapidly powerful method, Darcel almost felt like he was genuinely cheating the system. 

Compared to all of his other cheat-like abilities, controlling powerful Qi and Magical Energy broke far more sense. Even he realized that their situation should be a biological impossibility. 

Yet, here they are, with immense talent that would make any other cultivator or Mage go absolutely insane over.

Darcel never really thought about it before. But he was genuinely grateful for whoever it was granting him these god-like abilities and insane comprehension. Without this, he's sure he would've never escaped the Parasol Organization.

"Not just what a skill Darcy, this is the skill!" 

Aniela's eyes lit up like a kid in a candy store. Her broad smiling expression reminded Darcel of how she used to act. 

Staring at her palms in wonderment, Aniela continued on. "By just this method, you and I can positively reach Heavenly Kings before long. Honestly, just how did the skill slip under so many Mages' noses, even with this strict requirement."

"Obviously because each and every one of those prudes are too stuck up to even consider the other side. Hmph! Which means only more benefits for us!" Masami similarly shared in the excitement.

Before things got too wild, Darcel calmed himself. 

At this point, they could focus on breakingthrough, but Darcel first wanted a complete grasp on where their prowess lies.

His following words gained the girl's full attention and even greater excitement when he told them, "Now then, before continuing down this road. Let's finally take on a mission. I want to see where our combat prowess fully lies before we continually change it."
