Yin & Yang Pleasures of Cultivation

Chapter 162: Chaotic Changes

"Ahh!!"

Darcel, Aniela, and Masami shot their eyes wide open, waking up in frightening startle. Previously, they were taken off guard by the rainbow explosion and nearly couldn't breathe while it went off.

But when they thought they would suffocate, they suddenly blacked out, awakening back to their real bodies. 

Darcel, Aniela, and Masami's vision were blurry, and their minds were slightly delirious.

It took a few seconds for them to come to reality, and the trio noticed they were back in familiar territory. Instead of that chilling gray space, they were back in the same gray cave they were first teleported to.

However, now there was one distinct difference. 

Previously, this cave seemed like it had no entrances or exits to even come here. But now, there was a wide entrance, presumably leading down a long hallway, taking up the space where the gray energy was swirling. 

Darcel began to scratch his head while slowly sitting up. He felt his body was still sore but wasn't in so much tremendous pain as before. 

And in the middle of sitting up, Darcel completely froze.

It was smoothly coursing in his body and soul like a running waterfall. An immense sum of energy that far surpassed any power he ever felt or used before! 

Darcel even compared the energy to his previous cultivation and bloodline powers and felt his previous prowess is far inferior to this energy.

But, at the same time, Darcel felt as if this energy was eerily familiar. And it instantly clicked with Darcel then. 

He swiftly sat up and glanced back down to Aniela and Masami.

"Uuuu." The girls were both groaning, rubbing their aching heads, trying to sit up. 

Darcel knew they just had to have the same energy, but their consciousness hadn't fully come to them yet.

So Darcel decided to help by leaning over a bit to wrap his arms around their soft waist. 

"Hm?" Both Aniela and Masami felt their bodies instinctively relaxed as Darcel's warmth spread through them.

They leaned their weights into his arms, allowing Darcel to quickly sit them up. Once they sat up, Darcel wrapped his arms around both girls' waist again, pulling them close to him.

Warmth blossoms in all three of their chests as Aniela and Masami quickly came to then. 

Aniela began rubbing her eyes, wearily saying, "Mnn, Darcy, why the-Oh?!?"

Halfway through, Aniela shot her eyes wide open. Just like Darcel, an energy that far surpassed any power she ever felt before was swirling insider her soul and body.

At the same time, Aniela was getting shocked; Masami was scratching her fox ears, tiredly saying, 

"Rest is just never an op-Ah?!?" 

And just like her two lovers, Masami was gobsmacked at the powerful energy running through her.

Masami felt even more shock run through her veins as she had more experience with encountering high realm auras. And the energy she felt running through her was more profound than even her Grandma Sage!

"We can discuss and question later. Quickly, cultivate the energy inside your bodies." Darcel explained to the girls, swiftly shutting his eyes then. 

He kept his arms around the girls since this actually helped with their cultivation.

Aniela and Masami didn't object, falling in line with Darcel, closing their eyes. Of course, the girls didn't mind Darcel's arm around them since their cultivation results were evident to see. 

But also, even if it didn't help with cultivation, the girls just liked to have Darcel's warm arms around them. 

With their eyes closed, the trio intensely focuses up.

Upon doing so, they were taken in for another great shock. They all found they had their Spirit Sense back!

Though they didn't sense their cultivation powers, they did sense tremendous change rapidly developing in their bodies and souls.

Now, their once silent dead state bloodstream was vibrantly pumping, full of energy and vitality. As well, their Martial Veins were in a prosperous active state, being even more filled with longevity than if they had their previous cultivation.

Darcel, Aniela, and Masami were pleased but a bit confused. 

Since they had no Qi to use, their bloodstreams and Martial veins should be in a dead state. 

If it was just their souls doing this, then it would only be for a temporary duration of time. But it seemed like their Martial veins and bloodstreams were active for a lengthy amount of time already. 

The trio zeroed in on just what was causing this incredible state of their bodies.

And they sense the source of the incredible energy running from their souls. It was easy for their Spirit Sense to dive into their souls and observe the massive changes to their soul space now.

In Darcel, Aniela, and Masami's soul space, their whole space now had a permanent shade of a gray haze! The gray haze blended perfectly in with their already preestablished glows.

Furthermore, an endless amount of gray energy nestles deep within the gray haze.

And looking towards their soul's core, they noticed it also had significant changes about it. Blending in with their multiple soul essences was now a permanent luminous shade of green.

Darcel, Aniela, and Masami had to remark that both the gray haze and green glow had a sort of holy quality. 

Their main elements, Darcel being Darkness, Aniela's being Light and Masami being blue flames, just seemed a tad bit lackluster compared to the new changes.

Barring the appearance changes, the most significant difference had to be the immense power that was now swirling inside them. 

And since it's now apart of them, the trio thought, can't they just cultivate this energy?

It wasn't hard for any one of them to put two and two together to realize this gray energy and shade of green came from those diamond shards. 

And going off what the green diamond shards tried to tempt with, this is that god-breaking power.

Fevrant excitement began to course in the trio's minds. 

Though they didn't let themselves get too eager. After the mental state breakthrough, they felt as if they can handle unknown situations like this with a calmer, well-adjusted attitude.

At the same time, Darcel, Aniela, and Masami used their Spirit Sense to take hold of the gray energy. 

Immediately, the trio had to pause in awe. When the diamond shards said this power could trump Gods, they certainly felt like it could!

Just holding a silver of this energy they were holding on to felt like they had the power to split the whole world in half. 

A streak of an idea crossed Darcel's mind then. He didn't need to open his eyes to know the girls were experiencing the same sensation as him. 

Darcel said out loud, "Let's try and guide this energy to our dantian. Since it's permanently a part of us now, it should be able to revive our dead cultivation."

Now, admittedly for Darcel, he never really read or heard about crippled cultivation being able to get fixed. 

But, the scene of that scientist mentioning this power is supposedly above the Realm of Gods, and the diamond shard's sayings led him to believe that maybe, they can perform a miracle.

Aniela and Masami silently listen to Darcel. 

And all three of them began to pull the gray energy out from their soul space as if they were absorbing Qi from the air.

Contrary to what they expected, this process went off without a hitch! 

Darcel, Aniela, and Masami smoothly guided a small quantity of gray energy through their active Martial veins and went straight towards their dantian.

For Darcel and Aniela, inside their dantian, their Nascent Core no longer had any Spirit Qi links. Nor did it exude any power or even had its distinct color essence. 

Although, their dantian space was still the same rainbow radiance as when they first broke through to the Nascent Core realm.

For Masami's dantian, she too had zero Innate Qi cracks on her soul core, no power exuded from it, and it was a plain blank state of color. Though, just like the duo, her dantian space was still in a bright blue color glow from when she first broke through to the Nascent Core realm.

It was a bit depressing to look at. Their once mighty cultivation prowess was reduced to nothing with just one snap. 

However, neither Darcel, Aniela, or Masami felt really any discouragement about it.

Their minds were calm and determined, believing they can find a way to power no matter what. So in a careful attempt, the trio guided the silver of gray energy they held to their dantian's cores.

There wasn't any obstruction when the gray energy got interjected into their dantian's cores and, 

"WHA?!?" 

Darcel, Aniela, and Masami simultaneously shouted in overwhelming surprise!

A tremendous overflow of power began to quickly transform their bodies and bloodlines! 

'Chi!' 

Darcel Aniela and Masami's bloodline state explosively erupted.

A blinding gray haze spewed from their bodies, and the green shade in their soul's core explosively illuminated its radiance, overshadowing their whole soul space.

On Darcel and Aniela's bloodline arms, their divine tattoo markings formed. 

But there were two massive changes to them. 

On both Darcel and Aniela's arms, their tattoo markings weren't a vague image anymore. It managed to form into a complete set of feather markings! 

Furthermore, on Darcel's bloodline arm, small beautiful black feathers sprouted from his arm like blossoming plants.

And on Aniela's bloodline arm, elegant small white feathers spring from her arm like spring peaches. 

Masami had undergone a more noticeable change than the duo.

Her blue fire fox cloak became increasingly shinier and vigorous. But the most significant change was the fact an actual third blue fox tail sprouted from Masami's waist! 

The third tail seamlessly swirled with the other two tails like she always had it. 

Despite all these tremendous changes, the trio couldn't notice it yet, and there was one odd thing pricking their minds about this.

They were ecstatic as their cultivation did come back to, and Qi began to once again surge in their bodies. 

However, all of their cultivation realms significantly dropped from before!

Now, in Darcel and Aniela's Nascent core, a green color Spirit Qi link spewed, drilling into their Martial veins and plunging deep into their soul's core. 

They were now back to the first layer link of the True Soul Core realm.

Masami's True Soul Core gained a massive crack that was filled to the brim with a green color Innate Qi energy, putting her back at the first rank of the Innate Core realm.

Yet despite their cultivation being so low, the trio still felt immensely powerful. 

To their bloodline and even their weaker cultivation, they felt far superior to their old cultivation in every aspect.

Darcel and Aniela even felt like they could destroy the previous version of themselves if they were at the same level, just in their base state. And that's including if the prior version of themselves went all out with their inferior bloodline powers.

Masami felt more awe than the duo. She felt like it was Heaven and Earth comparing the previous version of herself. 

Even just in her base state, Masami felt like she could destroy the previous version of herself that was just about to meet Darcel and Aniela.

Quickly, Darcel, Aniela, and Masami contained their awe. 

They began focusing up on absorbing more gray energy into their dantian. And just after a couple of seconds of absorbing, their dantian space changed again.

Now in Darcel and Aniela's dantian space, everything was a pure shade of bright green instead of a rainbow color. And their Nascent cores transformed to a mix of gray and green, similar to their soul's core.

Masami experienced the same change. Her dantian space was now bright green and her soul core transformed into a mix of gray and green. 

The trio was patient, using hours to absorb as much gray energy as they can.

And though their cultivation didn't improve, they felt their overall combat prowess tremendously change. Darcel, Aniela believed with the endless amount of gray energy in their soul space, they can make their combat prowess utterly broken.

However, after so many hours, the trio felt an impenetrable block on their dantian.

They could no longer absorb any more gray energy! And when they couldn't absorb anymore, the gray energy immediately vanished back to their soul space, slipping from their Spirit Sense grasp.

Darcel, Aniela, and Masami wrinkled their eyebrows. 

Their Spirit Sense went into their soul space freely again. But they could no longer bring gray energy out to absorb to their dantian no matter how hard they tried.

With no other options, the trio was forced to give up on any absorbing more gray energy for now. They knew there had to be a reason for it.

Although they couldn't pull anymore gray energy from their soul space. The trio did feel a small quantity of the same gray energy nestling deep within their dantian's space.

When they finished absorbing gray energy, their transformation state vanished, and Masami's third tail went inside her body. 

Suddenly then, Darcel, Aniela, and Masami felt their minds massively broaden.

Two words got deeply inscribed into their minds, Chaotic Energy!
