Yin & Yang Pleasures of Cultivation

Chapter 289: Trying To Leave

As they kneeled on the ground with their eyes lighting up in a rainbow radiance, Darcel, Aniela and Masami were basking in the sensation of Magical Energy for a brief moment. 

When they opened their eyes, it was like the Magical Energy within them suddenly decided to pulsate with incredible power. 

Each of their Insect Magical Seeds was releasing waves and waves of pure Magical Energy.

These waves of Magical Energy felt nearly similar to getting bathed in a relaxing spring pool. 

At that moment, the trio all had the same thought. 

So this is Magical Energy? It indeed was incredible! 

Darcel, Aniela, and Masami all wanted to stay in their position, basking in the sensations of Magical Energy, and began comprehending even more of it. 

But before they could do so, the three of them all suddenly went utterly rigid.

Their bodies began to violently quiver as if they were experiencing an intense frill chill. Their eyes became slightly unfocused, and a small stream of blood pooled out from their masks.

All at once, the trio was assaulted with a heavy sensation of immense pain! 

"Bleh!" 

Darcel, Aniela, and Masami simultaneously puked out slightly grey blood, staining their clothes and the icy ground.

"Aacck! Ah! It feels like both my head and body are going to split open!" Masami described what they all were experiencing at this moment.

Even though the breakthrough to Magical Energy did help clear some of Chaotic Energy's after-effects, it couldn't heal everything.

At most, it was simply suppressing the inevitable. And now, the pain was hitting the trio all at once. 

Luckily for them, because of the aid of Magical Energy, the trio didn't end up passing out from an overload of pain. Although, what they were undergoing now was obviously less than desirable. 

Darcel and Aniela didn't even speak out. Instead, they both simply flashed their spatial ring to Masami, causing her eyes to light up in realization.

Then, without any more words needing to be shared, the trio swiftly took out several earth-rank healing pills. 

Stuffing the healing pills into their mouths, Darcel, Aniela and Masami swiftly sat upright to properly circulate the abundance of healing energy.

In just a few seconds, their previously cracked skins and internal injuries rapidly healed up. 

Even though the after-effects of Chaotic Energy was potent, Darcel, Aniela, and Masami could also rely on their powerful physical bodies for quicker regeneration.

Furthermore, Earth Rank pills are famously known for treating any and all severe injuries in a matter of seconds. These were the kind of resources only held by late rank Heavenly Kings or even titled Grand Sages.

Compared to Mortal Rank Pills, Earth Rank pills can more easily heal the damage done to one's body made by Qi attacks. 

And the Earth Rank pills the trio had taken were all of very high quality, courtesy of the Snow Angel mercenary group.

As they heal back up to near 100%, the tiro could feel the presence of Magical Energy much better within their bodies. 

Similar to their Qi energy, Magical Energy smoothly flowed throughout their entire being like a calm stream of water.

Then, after a full minute passing, Darcel, Aniela, and Masami healed nearly all of their injuries. At this moment, the previous insufferable pain had finally cleared up. As of now, the trio only had very slight minor injuries that won't affect them at all.

Upon healing up, Aniela flung her eyes back open, her expression full of smiles. She stretched her arms in the air and spoke in a genuinely excited tone. 

"Ahhh~. Alright! Now that's everything finally done with, let's test our newfound Magical Prowess, shall we?"

At her words, Darcel and Masami similarly felt a rise of anticipation. 

Right then, each of them held one palm close to their faces and began to stimulate their Insect Magical Cores.

Gathering and revolving Magical Energy from their cores was as seamlessly easy as using their Qi energy. With a thought, Darcel, Aniela, and Masami could feel Magical Power amplify within their bodies. 

In the exact same manner for when they want to send Qi out of their bodies, the trio directed the Magical Energy towards a single point within their palms. 

Then, at the same time, white, blue, and black lights mixed around the ruined Ice temple.

Upon Aniela's palm was a bright white color Magical energy ball, Masami's palm gathered a radiant blue color Magical energy ball while Darcel had an abyss-like dark color Magical energy ball swirling at the center of his palm.

In that instance, Darcel, Aniela, and Masami had their gazes intently focused on their own Magical energy ball. 

"Seeing Magic up close and performing it all on our own. This.it's quite something. Compared to Qi, this truly looked more fantastical."

Aniela spoke her thoughts out loud. Truly it was hard for her to describe it in words. But the Magical energy ball had a distinctly different appearance than any other Qi attack she previously used.

Whereas Qi's energy looked sharped and emitted a dangerous aura. Magic appeared more whimsical and fascinating to simply gaze upon. 

Darcel and Masami had similar sentiments as Aniela. Hell, Masami, who would usually comment something more snarky, was left a bit speechless while staring into her Magical energy ball. 

And the more each of them stared into the Magical energy ball, the trio was beginning to fall into a comprehension trance. 

Mysteries about Magical Energy were unraveling to them at varying paces. Aniela and Masami's understanding was coming slower, while Darcel felt like he was improving at a rapid pace.

But before they could fall into a complete trance, Darcel suddenly jolted himself up. He quickly snapped away his Magical energy ball, focusing back on the present. 

As tempting as it was to fall into that trance, Darcel wanted it to happen at a safer place.

Who knows if while in this Ice ruined temple, someone or something might come out and get the drop on them. 

With all this in mind, Darcel called out to Aniela and Masami, telling them, "Aniela, Masami, let's not fall into a trance here. It's too unsafe." 

"H-uh??" 

Both Aniela and Masami legitimately jumped in a slight startle. Darcel's words caused them to be pulled back into reality.

Aniela's lips curved up as she dispersed her Magical energy ball. She felt so much anticipation for the future that she could feel her bloodline boiling in excitement. Gripping both her hands together, she said out loud,

"With this.with this! We no longer will have to keep our heads down. We can start a legend nobody has ever seen before!" 

"Heh! Oh man! I can't wait to see the shit-eating looks on those damn Mages' faces when we come back more powerful than ever!"

Masami's excitement was also plainly evident. Her now two foxtails were frantically swishing around as if she was just gifted the greatest treat in the whole world. 

"Alright, alright. Let's not get too ahead of ourselves. We sti-"

Before Darcel could finish his sentence, he detected several Magical presences coming rapidly close to their ruined Ice temple. 

After breaking through to Magehood, Darcel's Magical Sense had, of course, developed and evolved. Now, he could clearly sense the raw power of Magical Energy that slumbers inside all Mages. 

Naturally, Aniela and Masami had also detected the Mages from their evolved Magical Senses.

Slight frustrations crossed Masami's face as she said, "Tch! After all this time now, some uninvited guests decide to show up? And since they're all Mages.I'm willing to bet it's somehow related to that blue robe guy we saw a while ago."

"Let's see.if things were to come to a fight, I don't think we'll lose out in a fight if there's not too many of them. But with this line-up, we may have to quickly escape." Aniela laid out her thinking almost immediately. 

Her indifferently even tone showcased she had zero qualms about needing to escape if things quickly go south. 

One thing Aniela knows how to be more than anything is cautious. Even if her overly cautiousness nature may be unnecessary, she didn't even want the slightest of trouble to befall her team. 

When Aniela told her thinking, Masami crossed her arms, her expression slightly souring.

However, she didn't bother to raise any disagreement. No matter how ill-tempered she is, she couldn't forget the lessons forcefully inscribed into her by a certain demoness of a woman.

In contrast to the girl's cautiousness, Darcel was already standing up and looking towards the entrance of the ruined Ice temple. He had a calm, soothing tone as he told the girls,

"From what I'm sensing, the ones who came here don't really have any hostile intentions. And since they're already here, let's just get this over with. If we can take all of them on, we'll fight. If we can't, we'll leave. You girls, ready?"

Seeing how quick Darcel was ready to jump into action did cause different mixed reactions within Aniela and Masami. 

"I suppose we are already in the mix/Alright! Let's get it done." Aniela and Masami's voices mixed in with each other.

Aniela was relenting while Masami noticeably pumped up excitedly from Darcel's decisive reaction. 

Then, without anymore hesitation, Darcel, Aniela, and Masami flew right out of the ruined Ice temple, quickly soaring straight into the skies.

Since they knew several people were coming, Darcel didn't bother with trying to stay ignorant of the situation. Those Mage presences had an obvious specific keen intent on them, and none of them were even attempting to hide their aura.

And as they flew several hundred feet into the skies, just for a split moment, Darcel, Aniela, and Msaami thought they could safely make it out. 

But before they made it to any father, their Magical Senses detected several presences right behind them.

"Hey. You three are newly Mage cultivators, right? Wait up for a second." 

A man's voice spoke out to the trio. A sliver of Magical energy leaked into his tone, causing his words to seem impossible to ignore.

Darcel, Aniela, and Masami simultaneously stopped. They all traded glances with each other, and Darcel mouthed to them, "Just stay calm." 

Aniela and Masami took a quiet breath and slightly nodded.

At the same time then, Darcel, Aniela, and Masami tossed their gazes back around them, only to see several familiar sights.
