Yin & Yang Pleasures of Cultivation

Chapter 14: Sudden Gains

From the silent depth of Darkness, Darcel consciousness was left wondering in this endless abyss. He didn't know how long it was until he realized he was here, nor did it matter much to him.

For some reason, being in utter Darkness brought about a welcoming home feeling for Darcel. Like this was just a second home to him, Darcel was absorbed in merely swimming around in Darkness.

What could've been seconds, minutes, or hours, Darcel couldn't calculate it. Still, eventually throughout the deep Darkness, his eyes took particular notice of something.

Just a few meters away from him did he see a single black feather.

A feather that looked strikingly similar to his own! Even if it was only for a couple of seconds, it was impossible for Darcel to ever forget his awakening.

Slowly Darcel drifted towards the feather. As he neared closer and closer to it, the single black feather began to expand. From just looking at a smidge similar, it suddenly grew to massive proportions!

And most of all, could Darcel feel connected to a pure angelic sensation. A sensation he just not too long ago bathed in.

'This...this feeling. It just has to be...my bloodline!' Everything about this power and sensations just spoke to him having a mighty bloodline.

And while he couldn't exactly tell how powerful this bloodline was, Darcel was for sure on it being heaven-defying. Or else it wouldn't have granted him the prowess to squash Qi Formation sea ghosts like bugs.

'Hmm...hm? So early?'

All at once, Darcel felt his entire being freeze up. That voice...he knows this voice clearly! Just like the first time he awoke on this planet, the voice was unidentifiable. Yet, they carried a majestic divine like appeal.

No matter where Darcel tried to turn his vision to, he couldn't spot a trace on whoever could have this powerful voice. All he kept on seeing was the one angelic black feathery wing.

Taking a shot in Darkness, Darcel tried to formulate words to speak with this voice until he abruptly heard,

'The Yin of Pleasure begins.'

Cryptic and mysterious words utter from the voice once again. This higher power mysterious being nearly got Darcel to roll his eyes. Though he was sure that white hair girl would eat something like this up.

'Just what plea-' Before Darcel could finish, the vast angelic black feathery wing began trembling!

'Chi!'

By the trembling, an intense white glow shot out like a volcano! The magical scene of black and white Darcel could only witness it for a moment before he felt a fierce jolting feel.

It was like something was rampaging around in his body and forcibly,

"Geh?!"

Darcel's eyes snapped open in frighten startlement. Immediately the glossy black rocks of the cave appeared in his sights. And as well, he felt a soft elastic body tightly clutched on to his chest.

'Yin Pleasure...I keep hearing it, but I can only assume it's related to feelings like lust. Well, I sup-eh? Did we really breakthrough? Can I really sense this girl now?'

Two huge and sudden revelations that Darcel took quite calmly quickly exposed themselves to him. First off, his body and his own Qi. Everything about him felt massively stronger than anything compared before!

In this state, he felt his Qi was in perfect equilibrium in his body, and Darcel could sense he had achieved the ninth layer of the Qi Foundation Realm!

The peak of the starting realm of cultivation, he achieved it after only merely two days of cultivating!

Even if one has the bug in Darcel's body providing them Qi to break through, their speeds undoubtedly still wouldn't match his.

This speed was beyond demonic and could even be called quite frightening. And along with this sudden advancement, Darcel also could barely sense Aniela having the same layer of Qi as him.

Unlike his first time trying to use Spirit Sense, this time was precisely accurate. Meaning, just at the Foundation realm, he somehow gained a small portion of Spirit Senses abilities!

All of this shocking good news did astound Darcel, but he had a major question in his mind. He obviously assumed that he broke through and managed to gain a Spirit Sense because of awakening his bloodline.

However, Darcel could feel something slightly off about his Qi. Like it was on the borderline edge of changing into something entirely new.

Darcel found it was akin to a mutation of some sort, but it was only a vague faint sensation. He couldn't put much thought into it however, once he felt the rustling of Aniela's body.

Looking down, their hypnotic black eyes met. And instantly, Aniela was the one to form her bright, bubbly broad smile. Every time she would have this smile, Darcel knew she was about to run her mouth off.

Though he didn't mind it a single bit.

"I broke through, you broke through, and we also gained Spirit Senses abilities! Now, this is a good way to wake up!" Aniela proudly proclaimed, feeling refreshed all over her body.

The previous exhaustion and tiredness were all gone. Everything was replaced by a new burst of energy she couldn't wait to share with Darcel. Furthermore, she was most excited by one particular news.

"Well, even I can't disagree with your point there. This cave did us more good than we could've expected." Even if they had almost died here, the awakening of their bloodline made everything worth it.

And with fire in her eyes, Aniela excitedly got up from Darcel. She swiftly grabbed his hand, pulling him up, though they both momentarily realized a difference when doing so.

Direct skin to skin contact with each other felt far warmer and better than before! In both of their bodies, their bloodlines were soothingly cooing like it just met their best friends.

Taking notice of this, Aniela had put it on the back of her mind as she passionately said, "The greatest thing about this cave is the awakening of our pure, holy bloodline! A bloodline that has to be high ranked!"

"Again, I can't argue with you there. Not sure on our ranks, but I have no doubts it could easily stand on the summit of a Mortal planet." Darcel offered his two cents since the origin of their bloodline still confused him.

Feathery wings, he couldn't tell if it was a God Beast or another legendary Deity from history. But as long they could use it, Darcel knew they'd eventually find out this secret.

"My guess is we're true holy children. Hey, let's see how much of our bloodline we can use." Before doing anything else, Aniela believed it was essential to establish a base of knowledge.

Unmistakably, their bloodline will reverse many situations they may get into in the future. But it would be foolish if they couldn't use it correctly.

"Our armstry to remember that feeling from our arms" Darcel said and already closed his eyes. Aniela, without any other words, followed his lead and focused on her arms.

Instantly though, on their left arms, did the duo touch upon a tremendous familiar power! The power that felt like another extension of themselves.

In a similar process they do with their inborn soul powers, the two willed upon their bloodline causing,

'Whir!'

A massive wave of tremendous power to spew all out in the cave! Although this time, there was no grandiose, majestic divine scene. Instead, there were only two harsh glows of black and white.

On Darcel's left arm, his arm glowed entirely black. And on Aniela's left arm, her arm shined entirely white.

However, despite the difference in colors, the overwhelming prowess they felt was lower than the first time but still far surpassed their base abilities.

Their minds felt vastly broadened, gaining a far wider Spirit Sense. With a single step, they knew they could cross meters of distances. And with a flick of their hands, they could destroy Anne's group in a second.

A slight drain feeling was swiftly taking their toll on their bodies, but this enormous power couldn't be denied. After a few seconds, the duo turned off their bloodlines, silently taking a deep breath.

"Too exhilarating! I can tell we're only at the mere surface of our bloodline power, yet this is already too great!" In total awe, Aniela was staring at her left arm.

When turning his bloodline arm off, Darcel suddenly felt his Qi churn faster. The borderline mutation feeling came about stronger, and Darcel's mind quickly came to one option.

"Don't get lost too much in your stupor, ditzy girl. I think you're also feeling this weird churning for your Qi, right?" It was time for another breakthrough! With their new prowess, Darcel was also itching for a fight.

"I was going to bring it up first, Darcy~. But it looks like we're going to need to fight again, so soon?" Aniela was talking about leaving, yet her eyes were trailing down the cave's darkness path.

A path that seemed so inviting to go on, but was likely filled with countless danger.

"It's the quickest and frankly the most exciting way to breakthrough. Hm? What caught your eyes?" Glancing over to the same dark path, Darcel had no plans on exploring further on there.

"This cave has my eyes. I just feel like there should've been far more ghosts or any Spirit entity here that would've come to kill us while we were out. But here we are still alive and standing...we should definitely come back here! My intuition is telling me to do so!"

Aniela held the utmost assurance in her words. And in her posture and tone, she wouldn't take any no for an answer.

"If you truly think that way, then just mark it on the map. Once we finish taking what we need, we'll come back here." Darcel honestly didn't see the problem, so he readily agreed to come back.

Nodding her head to Darcel, Aniela fished out the map from the spatial ring in her pockets. With her attention to detail, she accurately marked where they were.

While doing so, the two were walking to makeshift closed rock doors of the cave, and suddenly Aniela told Darcel, "You know for at least this area of the map. This whole place, along with other cities are under the Blessed Spirit Province? And luckily? This is the lowest-ranked Province."

Looking at the map, Aniela decided to inform Darcel. Though she did wonder if ending up in some higher rank Province would've been more thrilling.

"I see...it is at least enough to learn of the names of the place we'll be tearing through." Darcel gained a bit of a vicious smirk, thinking about their future adventures from here on out.

Aniela held more of a feral smile as the thought of adventure could always run her motors.

Igniting her hand in a white glow, she pointed out to the rock's entrance, making them glow white as well.

Quickly this time, she moved the rock out of the way, letting the duo have an entrance back in the outside world

.

Out in a circular section of the Necropolis Woods, Darcel and Aniela casually walked into this clearing without a hint of worry. Their eyes darted around this area of the woods, and their senses zeroed in.

Promptly a smile etched across their faces as the roaring excitement for battle bubbled up inside them.

After leaving the cave, Aniela decided it was better to rely on the map to hunt out Spirit Monsters than Darcel's Darkness. No matter how much sudden power they gain, their cautious nature couldn't go away.

Moreover, it wasn't like they would be able to use their bloodline arms for extended periods of time.

Which led them to this clearing where humongous trees in the woods were all frantically rustling about. Just barely from the Darkness of the woods, one would see constant large shadows jumping out of each tree.

But Darcel and Aniela were able to clearly tell these large shadows were powerful Spirit Monsters, scoping the duo out.

Aniela pointed to one tree, smiling to Darcel while asking him,

"Shall we begin?"
