Chapter 42: Desirable Enlightenment

Darcel's eyes hastily snapped open after being put in that strange yet hypnotic trance of that beautiful young girl. Immediately, before he could question the intention of that girl, his mind was in utter awe.

Breathlessly he took in what he considered to be one of the most glorious sights he had ever seen. And this magnificent sight was all….complete and total swirling Darkness Qi.

Yes, despite everything being no different than the blackness of night, Darcel couldn't help but be entranced in this space. There was something, something far more personal with this Darkness than he ever felt before.

It was akin to a nostalgic homecoming feeling that he didn't even realize he so desperately needed. Whatever this Darkness place was also felt incomparably good to float around in.

Almost like he was swimming in a pool of Darkness! This bliss, Darcel, could nearly equate to the heavenly pleasure he feels when getting intimate with Aniela.

Moreover, a soothing voice was whispering familiar calming words into his ear. He pieced out this silky voice was saying 'Yin Pleasure.'

The repeated phrase he heard numerous times on profound enlightenment breakthroughs.

Only now, Darcel decided to test something. Slowly, Darcel pulled his hand towards his face while feeling like head precise control over his Darkness.

With a mere thought, Darcel coated his whole hand in Darkness Qi.

Staring at his hypnotic swirling Darkness hand, it led Darcel down on a broad path of thoughts. All thoughts pertaining to how unique his Darkness really is in affecting people.

The frantic emotions released from inside a person in order to distract was tremendously helpful every time.

Still, thinking more clearly and feeling his Darkness up close now, Darcel realized the most prominent and strongest emotion his Darkness pulls out.

The blissful, hypnotic feeling of pleasure! Unyielding rage, crushing sorrow, and even boundless joy were all just after feelings to the intense desire for pleasure and lust.

The pleasure was first and foremost the gateway to heavily affecting anyone's minds, allowing for the other emotions to come through.

And realizing this point made Darcel think differently of his lovely intimate moments with Aniela.

Compared to when he only wants an edge in battle, Darcel was beginning to understand his Darkness was becoming frantic with pleasure. It didn't want to hurt Aniela.

No, instead, his Darkness wanted to pull her in and drown her in the face of overwhelming desirable lust!

It's no wonder that, even on his own, hearing Aniela's cute breathless moans and watching her glossy lustful blushing face gives Darcel a boundless sense of satisfaction and his own kind of great pleasure.

Although, that wasn't to say Aniela was incredibly hard to please. Far from it. At least Darcel thought her soft, modest body is pretty sensitive and straightforward to make climax and experience bliss.

Nevertheless, Darcel could tell extra forces were at play here since Aniela becomes clinging attach to his body during their sexy moments.

And in this trance, Darcel knew what that extra force was. He could feel a second strong connection that heavily plays into granting the desire of lust and pleasure.

Naturally, it was his holy, overwhelming bloodline!

This Darkness space gave Darcel a far more profound connection with his bloodline than any other time he activated it. And just like his Darkness, his bloodline doesn't only change the tides of battle.

The tender touches and sweet kisses he shares with Aniela subtly forces about power and pleasure in the both of them.

This was something entirely out of Darcel's control since this directly plays into their bloodstreams.

Yet he could forcefully suppress his Darkness element. A significant hypothesis Darcel could draw from this is his Darkness wants to go beyond a physical side and affect Aniela on a spiritual level.

It wants to actively connect with Aniela rather than merely giving base pleasure.

Suddenly Darcel wrinkled his eyebrows.

All of this strangeness led him to think about all other people he casually touched before.

His eyes blinked a few times once, coming to see that his Darkness and bloodline only act in this specific way with Aniela. Without skillfully using it in battle, his Darkness and bloodline won't react with any other person.

Hell, even during the first few years, he first met Aniela. Whenever they did share brief intimate contact, his bloodline and Darkness never reacted as well.

Plus, before he finally truly realized his deep feelings for her, Darcel's bloodline and Darkness only slightly reacted because of the attraction he felt about her.

All of this led Darcel to smirk as he gathered a straightforward conclusion. His own romantic feelings, his Darkness, and bloodline were all interconnected! At least there was a base sharing at some level.

It was interesting….very fascinating indeed.

If he's entirely invested in strengthening his connection with someone. Then the amount of pleasure and desire of lust he can swirl in their minds already spawned ideas in his head.

Of course, Darcel only thought of doing this with another woman and didn't even consider men. Frankly, even with Aniela, Darcel never really held intentions to get involved in a romantic relationship at first.

But over time, his walls were cracked by the bright girl, allowing her to drill deep into his mind.

And now, there was this slow but budding developing curiosity and desire to see how far his connections and potentially other women can go.

Something profound yet familiar inside him was pushing Darcel to this thought, and it couldn't feel more right and natural! That sense of satisfaction, it was worthy enough to deeply explore.

Although with a mind like Darcel's, he still won't go out of his way to chase women like a playboy or a hopeless romantic.

This new enlightenment had just helped him broaden his mind and want to deepen his relationship with Aniela.

More importantly, though, was Darcel wondered if he could apply this in a tactical sense. If somehow he could create like a fake connection with a hugely powerful enemy woman, he and Aniela would gain numerous advantages.

Pleasure, a real pleasure that can overload a mental sense, Darcel was sure not even self-proclaimed sex experts or even sex gods can achieve this!

Darcel was mostly talking from arrogance, but he now understands that his Darkness is a gateway to a new often not talked about side of cultivation!

'PA!!'

Reverberating throughout this whole space was a blooming popping noise that simultaneously went with a dramatic change in Darcel!

He felt his Darkness element mutate once again, and the power of his Nascent Core deepened.

Amazingly enough, Darcel stepped right into the second level of the Nascent Core realm! His mind-opening enlightenment of his Darkness and bloodline pushed his Qi and Core to greater heights.

Now, inside his dantian, his Darkness Nascent Core became larger and became a little bit more profound in shape. And above all, Darcel heard a clear, soothing whisper that nearly put him to sleep.

"So young, yet so amazing, already reaching this step. You truly are a Ar-"

"Darcy~!!"

Abruptly Darcel's eyes snapped right above him. That ancient soothing whispering voice immediately went away once a familiar angelic voice sweetly called his name.

Despite feeling a bit annoyed that the voice didn't finish its sentence, Darcel still put his full attention on a magical sight.

Perfectly combining with his Darkness was a pure, dazzling white light that hovered above him.

This white light spewed out secure warmth in his whole Darkness space.

And in the center of this light was the gloriously cute Aniela. That broadly smiling face he came to get lost in had promptly wiped away any previous feeling of irritation.

Gracefully, Aniela fell on top of Darcel, her hands immediately wrapping around his neck like a koala. Her soft face snuggled into his neck, unleashing her mesmerizing scent into Darcel's noise.

This….this stimulation made Darcel react entirely on instinct. Swiftly he wrapped his around her, pulling her into a tight hug while stroking her lushes white hair.

"Hmmm….that was an odd way to come here, but it was undeniably cute. For that matter, just how did you blast in here?" Darcel didn't think he was talking any differently from the usual.

Still, Aniela had suddenly snapped her head up to him.

Her face spouted this massive blush as she goofily smiled at him. In her own unexpected twist, Aniela smoothly went up and kissed his cheek, using her lascivious soft lips.

"Mnh! I see you experienced your own enlightenment that blew your mind open! For me, I just wanted to spread my light with you and feel a stronger and deeper connection! And then I broke through and fell here. Hehehe~, it sounds so simply saying it out loud."

So effortlessly could Aniela spot the slight change in Darcel's speech. Plus, she herself also changed a bit, becoming laxer in finding the fun in whatever situation she's in.

Darcel, who before would've merely sigh at this explanation, was now finding her odd quirks more endearing as his curiosity developed further.

"Heh, it indeed does sound so simple saying it out loud, I bet your airheaded simplicity can rock even deities minds. Never a dull moment with you." Darcel affectionately said, feeling it became more pleasant to blurt out lines like this.

Aniela sweetly giggled as Darcel held her tender body even tighter. Their blend of black and white became seemingly perfect as their thoughts somewhat lined up to each other.

In their enlightenment, both honestly were thinking of each other. Darcel wants to give Aniela a pleasure beyond pleasure, and Aniela with wanting to spread her light into Darcel.

It was a serene, sweet moment. That is until the bubbly voice of that beautiful young girl blared into their space, saying,

"Ohhh~! Ohhh~! You Darcy, I can tell you'll have mind-blowing deeper bonds than what big brother accomplished!"

At the sweet sound of her voice, the duo only blinked once. Yet when their eyes opened again, they were suddenly back in the bright multi-color room of the beautiful young girl.

Darcel and Aniela were still holding each other as the translucent girl stared at them with a ray of sunshine, dazzling smile. Letting go of one another, Darcel hope they could get some answer this time as he asked,

"Ok, while we appreciate the chance for enlightenment and breakthrough. Just who are you, girl? No….not who, but what are you?"

Finally, like her moment had come, the beautiful young girl propped herself to be slightly higher than the duo. Her face, stature, and aura carried this natural, elegant confidence charm as she told them,

"I'm glad you finally asked! You two can call me Sari, and I'm….the gift granting spirit! For real special people like you, I can make your life completely turn around, but at a cost. A gift beyond your wildest dream will be made available to you two, just if you meet big brother requirements."

At the same time, Darcel and Aniela's eyebrows furrowed in puzzlement. A gift granting spirit? What even the hell is this supposed to be, and this surely is a joke, right?
