Yin & Yang Pleasures of Cultivation

Just from Siren Star's words alone, a lot more Siren Mages started to become restless. After all, what he said indeed wasn't wrong. 

How come literally nobody was informed they got three newly Spirit Ranked Mages Seniors?

The great Spirit Mage realm isn't just for status or grandiose saying. This realm is what separates the powerful Mages from the regular Mages! 

In a way, it's heavily similar to the Heavenly Transformation realm.

Within both realms, a person will experience a monumental change, granting them abilities that weaker people would see as god-like. 

Heavenly Transformation cultivations gain the power to unleash Heavenly Qi, an energy that could easily shatter mountain peaks with a single stroke.

There was also additional abilities such as Heavenly Aura, which allows someone to bring thousands of weaker people to their knees without even having to lift a single finger.

And this powerful realm was nearly comparable to the Spirit Mage realm. 

However, what is commonly known throughout even the entire Nine Provinces is that Spirit Mages have a greater edge over any Heavenly King!

Within the Spirit Mage realm, a Mage would be able to grasp the Spirit Magic level of Magical Energy. 

Spirit Magic energy grants Mages a variety of powerful abilities.

One of the most notorious abilities at this level is being able to cast Magical Formations from a Mage Staff! The effects of Magical Formations widely vary but are all powerful.

Some Spirit Mages can even grasp a Magical Formation that would allow them to seal off a person's cultivation or another Mage's Magical Energy! 

And, of course, there are far more powerful effects similar to this and even better than this.

With all this in mind, the status of a Spirit Mage is far greater than what even Heavenly Transformation cultivators have. 

Such news absolutely can't be left in the dark! 

As the seconds grew, more and more suspicious raised in the Sire Mages' minds.

At the same time, Siren Blade stayed quiet. His face seemed indifferent to the rising noise; however, Siren Star noticed something off about it. 

Siren Blade's eyes looked like they were falling into deep contemplation. As if he had just suddenly recalled something critical at this very moment. 

A slight sinking feeling suddenly dropped into the pits of Siren Star's stomach. He couldn't pinpoint why but he felt like something outrageous is about to come from Siren Blade's mouth.

And right then, Siren Blade's eyes fully cleared up. He calmly raised his hand, attracting attention to him again, causing the main lobby to quiet down. 

In his same indifferent tone, he told everyone, "What I told is only the truth. In fact, the one who personally promoted that trio was Elder Yang himself. He even went as far to give a badge seal of approval." 

"What?! Elder Yang did?!"

It was like a loud thunderclap burst into everyone's ears. If Elder Yang approves of them, then it just has to be true! 

Nobody, not even Siren Star, would dare to believe that Siren Blade is lying.

For starters, Siren Blade is one of the highest-ranking Senior members within their group. He is one of the few that can have close relations to the Elder-level authority figures in their organization.

This was a fact Siren Star was more aware of than anyone here. 

Although, what everyone is also aware of is the fact that Siren Blade has connections with Elder Yang more than any other Elders.

Siren Blade even has a title for being known as Elder Yang's right-hand man. 

It was a near impossible pill to swallow. But the Siren Mages realized then, they have no other choice but to accept this reality.

Still, despite confirming the news, many Siren Mages felt immense willingness in the depths of their hearts. 

All of their hard work and for what? Just to get surpassed by impossible to exist cultivators?

This could only be described as nothing else but an overwhelming cruel joke. 

Even Siren Star, who has a better temperament than most Siren Mages, couldn't suppress the waves of his own dissatisfaction.

"I see Siren Blade, I see indeed. So if this is all true and we have a trio of great Spirit Mages, surely, they would be up for a demonstration, no? You have to understand it is quite mind-boggling for any of us to accept. I believe I would be acceptable enough demonstration, right?"

Siren Star's tone already made it seem like he will challenge the trio no matter what. He wouldn't be able to rest soundly until he does. 

"Yea-yea! How else can we know what they are unless we see them perform!"

"Absolutely Senior Siren Star must be the one to draw what they can truly do out." 

"Heh! I'm still suspicious that those cultivators have some divine Magical artifacts that are tricking us all!"

Immediately, cries of agreement erupted around the main lobby. Everyone Siren Mages felt their blood pump at the thought of Siren Star fighting.

On the other hand, Siren Blade wasn't excited at all. 

When hearing that Siren Star actually wants to challenge Darcel's group caused Siren Blade to act a little strange.

Instead of promptly responding, Siren Blade narrowed his gaze on Siren Star. His expression looked as if he was inspecting something about him. 

Many Siren Mages raised a curious eyebrow at this.

But before anyone could think too deeply about it, Siren Blade turned his attention dead inro Siren Star's eyes. 

"If that is what you really wish for, then suit yourself. Neither I nor Elder Yang will interfere." 

After saying his final piece, Siren Blade swiftly turns on his heel, exiting the main lobby. 

Upon his leave, the lobby erupted back into a bustle of clambering. The current topic was Darcel's group and Siren Star's match.

Even though many were finding it hard to believe this mind-shattering news, the Siren Mages couldn't help but get increasingly excited. Supposedly two Spirit Mages are going to square off against each other!

An event like this is rare to see. Usually, if altercations arise, it's nearly always with the regular Siren members. 

Sometimes these matches would call for attention, depending on if they're a powerful Gold Mage. But most of the time, these Matches are mainly personal grudges formed between members. 

Grudges like these are practically nonexistent for Spirit Mages. 

Truthfully, many know of Spirit Mages' unfathomable power, but few actually saw them in true combat. So this upcoming battle will be a call for attention throughout the entire organization.

At the very least, they'll bear witness to a legendary figure like Siren Star showcase his prowess! 

And perhaps from it, many Siren Mages were hoping to discover some sort of insights from Siren Star's Magical Energy.

Admiss all of the discussion, Siren Star already silently maneuver towards a secluded part of the lobby. By him was a Siren Mage actually at the Gold Mage realm.

This man's expression light up in intense intrigue as he directly asked Siren Star, "Are you sure about going with this? I mean, no disrespect to you, but this is Elder Yang we're talking about. And has he ever been wrong?"

Siren Star took a single glance towards the Siren Mage, his eyes gaining hints of disdain. 

"Don't you realize it already? Something definitely up. No way can I accept that a bunch of cultivators can so easily climb Magical Ranks like it's nothing. No matter how much Spiritual Magical Essence they can comprehend, this should be a straight impossibility. And I intend to get to the bottom of just how."

Compared to cultivation, where there are numerous types of Qi energy, Magical Energy only has one type. 

On the surface, Mages seemed far less versatile because they can only use one type of energy, but that couldn't be farther from the truth.

As a Mage advanced through the Great Magical Realms, the Magical Energy they absorb will continue to evolve. These Magical evolutions are what signifies when a Mage had finally crossed over to the next Great Realm.

Achieving these evolutions is no simple task at all. 

Some Mages could spend dozens of years stuck on one Magical evolution breakthrough, while others could even damage themselves in the process.

It's commonly known that if one is too hasty with their Magical Energy to evolve, they could run of cracking their Magical Core. A crack on one's Magical Core is essentially the equivalent of destroying a cultivator's Martial Veins, permanently weakening them.

Furthermore, if one runs the risk of undergoing multiple evolutions with barely any time to rest, their Magical Core can implode in themselves, instantly killing off that Mage.

The fact that Darcel's group isn't some gory mess is immensely suspicious to Siren Star. A cold glint swirled in his eyes. 

Whatever sick trick is going on, he intends to permanently get rid of it for the good of his organization and for his state of mind.
