Yin & Yang Pleasures of Cultivation

Chapter 66: Undercurrents

Like wild savage beasts, the Quicksilver Roc trio blasted towards Lukil's group, immersed in fierce Wind Qi!

Storms of chaotic wind surged in the area, causing the air to split apart from their sheer power.

And yet neither Lukil, Nathan, or Bely was worried.

In fact, the trio all snorted in high disdain precisely at the same time. If these Quicksilver Roc sects fools want to rush to their death, then so be it!

Thrusting his arm out, Lukil only pointed one finger at the leading boy charge.

Purple water Qi instantaneously gathered at the tip of his finger, and blindingly faster than the boy could charge, Lukil blasted a bright purple stream of water at him!

'Hua!'

Lukil's dazzling bright purple water stream coiled around the leading boy arm like a venomous snake.

The Quicksilver Roc boy couldn't budge at all as an overwhelming suppression of Lukil's eighth layer link True Soul Core prowess pressed his entire being.

Siminatansouly, Nathan decided to go for a more direct approach.

Surging immense Spirit Qi directly into his legs, Nathan took off like lightning towards the Quicksilver Roc boy on the left.

Nathan's speed was massively superior to the Quicksilver Roc boy as he was at the seventh layer link of the True Soul Core realm.

Before the Quicksilver Roc boy even realized it, Nathan appeared right in front of him!

"Can your famous speed match this strength?"

Nathan cruelly mocked as he savagely gripped the Quicksilver Roc boy short silver sword.

By Nathan's unique pure bodily strength, the Quicksilver Roc boy was entirely suppressed like tens of mountains just violently crashed on him.

At the same time, Bely also wasn't idle. She instead went for the most chilling savage approach.

Instantaneously, tremendous swirls of purple sword Qi elegantly surged around Bely's body like she was a beacon.

Bely only pointed her finger out to the Quicksilver Roc boy on the right, exuding a monumental suppression upon the boy.

The Quicksilver Roc boy felt suffocated as if a giant sword pressed down his neck, waiting to claim his life.

'Hua!'

Before the Quicksilver Roc boy could process this hair-raising scene, he now truly felt a sharp presence right at the tip of his neck. Casting his eyes down, he spotted a chilling bright purple sword Qi mere inches away from piercing his fragile neck.

In no time at all, Lukil's group severely suppressed the Quicksilver Roc boys in merely one move!

For Lukil himself, it was understandable for him to easily suppress someone at the True Soul Core realm's sixth layer link.

But for Nathan and Bely, they were only one layer link over the Quicksilver Roc boys. And yet, the quality and power of their Spirit Qi was on a whole other level than the Quicksilver Roc boys.

The deciding factor for this result had to do with the comprehension and latent talent one would cultivate up to this point.

Even among geniuses, there are several deep dividing layers between them. One genius Qi can be far more powerful even if they're at the same level.

Lukil, Nathan, and Bely all gained superior mocking smiles.

Looking down upon their rivals with supreme ease gave all of their egos a massive boost. Especially since this sect just loves to shamelessly boast.

Lukil had begun to open his mouth to relish in their pathetically easy victory. Yet, right then, his Spirit Senses went frantically haywire!

He stopped himself before even saying anything, putting his full focus on the Quicksilver Roc boys.

Nathan and Bely didn't have as sharp as Spirit Senses of Lukil, leading them to be blissfully unaware of any changes happening in the Quicksilver Roc boys.

But right then, a dazzlingly bright blue glow burst from the Quicksilver Roc boys like shimmering stars!

'Whir!!'

A blindingly gleaming blue flash lit up the profound darkness of the Necropolis Woods.

Lukil, Nathan, and Bely all swiftly jumped back from the abrupt burst of a tremendous increase in power!

Once the flash died down, Lukil's group witnessed a very different set of Quicksilver Roc boys.

Fresh, bright red blood slowly trickled from their mouths. Beads of massive sweat poured down their face, drenching their clothes, and yet, none of them looked the slightest bit worried.

Their grins only grew eerily wider in daunting excitement. And in their eyes, that once faint blue glow had now overtaken their eyes, creating an admittedly stunning look of pure blue eyes.

Immediately Lukil, Nathan, and Bely felt a passing worrying feeling swell in the pits of their guts. But, as soon as this feeling came, the trio quickly pushed it down.

There's absolutely no way they'll let someone far weaker than themselves cause fear in them!

Lukil had even gone on to sprout an intrigued smirk as he said out loud, "Oh? This is a neat trick. Looks we'll get to have a bit more fun than I initially thought."

Although even with all of Lukil's group superior confidence, they still remained blissfully unaware of the hidden devious thoughts in the Quicksilver Roc boys' head.

They only felt more anticipation build up inside them, not caring at all about winning or losing this battle.

All they know is after this battle, it'll set off a flurry of a chain of events that'll fundamentally change the whole Necrotic Crystal City.

.

Far from the outside world, a beautiful large purple courtyard was rhythmically swaying under refined surges of power.

At the center of these surges of energy were a pair of one beautiful girl and one charming boy.

Of course, this was Darcel and Aniela preparing themselves to break through to the next level of the Nascent Core realm!

And as the duo were steadily advancing, significant changes to their overall bearing were taking shape.

Compared to just a week and a half ago, Darcel now held a more distinct style that radiated the beauty of a moon. His presence was becoming enigmatic, carrying an exotic charm that would stop and get people undivided attention on him.

A sly smile dawned on his once usual indifferent face showing hints of his own captivating allure. One could call Darcel a tantalizing charmer just off his base appearance now.

Aniela, on the other hand, was striking up to be far more enchantingly luminous. Her presence developed into a bewitching attractive grace that draws all kinds of people into her own giant world sphere.

A beautiful broad smile that blossomed like spring peaches was permanently etched onto her face akin to a flawless sculpture. Just this beaming smile on its own blatantly exuded Aniela's energetic allure.

All these changes had occurred during their training and lessons with Vice Principal Zelle.

They had now learned much more about the profound specificities that enriched the Nascent Core realm.

One of the most essential things they had learned was the term Nascent Core represents.

Cultivators call this realm the seven levels of one's future. No matter who or what is it, every being will begin to truly develop their talents and future potential in this realm.

It's the first biggest hallmark of a cultivator life and the dividing line between true talents and ordinary folks. Most can achieve decent enough talents at this stage while others show extraordinary feats.

For Darcel and Aniela, they were cultivating to achieve a Perfected Nascent Being state. This details in which a cultivator reached a perfected foundation on each seven levels of the Nascent Core realm.

And to achieve a Perfected state like this isn't easy or straightforward in the slightest.

Darcel and Aniela had learned not even Joyce Ashless, the number one genius in the Academy could achieve a Perfected Nascent Being state.

Her latent talent, soul potential, and comprehension only allowed her to barely achieve a perfect foundation at the seventh level of the Nascent Core realm.

And even then, it took her months to achieve it!

The difficulty in this stems from the level one latent talent, their comprehension of their Dantian Core, and their souls' potential.

For average cultivators, not many can truly understand these facets.

Average cultivators tend to believe that one's talent or potential of their soul seems like it has to do with luck, or it is predetermined at birth.

But in actuality, it's not as simple as one would think.

The actual most crucial factor in any cultivator is their Comprehension abilities. Even a cultivator born with the most average of talents and soul can change their lives through comprehension.

With monstrous comprehension abilities, one could have the chance to deepen the foundation of their Dantian Core and enhance their souls' potential in cultivation enlightenment.

Which would bring upon more tremendous potential and talents for themselves.

A cultivator's talent and potential affect how fast one could intake Qi, how powerful their Qi would be, and how extensive their supply of Qi would be.

But of course, the process of developing comprehension abilities is tremendously difficult and complex to achieve.

There are ways one can develop their comprehension abilities through outside resources.

Only that would require a massive amount of luck, or one would hail from a sect far greater than Darcel and Aniela's Zakira Academy.

This is why most cultivators, either genius or ordinary, strive to at most attain a finished foundation state before breaking through to the next level of Nascent Core.

More extreme geniuses could even go past this state and achieve a completed foundation state!

But for Darcel and Aniela, they indeed were like fish dancing in waters after going through the Black Dungeon Labyrinth.

Through their abundant resources, immense latent talent, insane comprehension abilities, and powerful soul, they were able to achieve Perfected foundations states in just a couple of days in between each other!

During these times, it does make Darcel and Aniela wonder.just where did they originally come from?

Before getting kidnapped, their lives were all a blur to them, and both have no clue just who their parents were.

Admittedly, even Darcel and Aniela felt a burning innate curiosity towards this subject. Most obviously, the duo gathered they shouldn't hail from any places such as this one they got teleported to.

And perhaps, the duo gathered they may even belong to mythical places that are only heard in legends.

But with no leads or any way of knowing how, Darcel and Aniela could focus on gathering strength to protect themselves now.

Nearly all of their time during the past week and a half was spent only on seriously cultivating, nothing else. And their achievements for it could be called beyond freakish for anyone in the Zakira Academy.

Presently, Darcel and Aniela are already nearing the edge of their breakthrough.

Around Darcel's hand, an enchanting Darkness glow enriched it like the night abyss.

Aniela's luscious white hair suddenly began to glow in dazzlingly bright, beautiful white light as if she was a celestial fairy.

Intense bright white and black glows covered the whole large courtyard, drenching it in a breathtaking magical scenery.

And at the peak of Darkness and Light glows,

'BANG!'

Tremendous powerful surges of Nascent Qi crazily spewed out in wild storms in the courtyard.

Now not only have Darcel and Aniela had broken through to the fifth level of the Nascent Core realm. For all the previous four levels, they had achieved a Perfected Foundation!

Both Darcel and Aniela had then snapped their eyes open, spraying out beautiful mixtures of Darkness and Light.

Their eyes turned to each other with affection and pride as all of their tiresome work had paid off.
