Chapter 983: Distancia's Surprising History.

As they approached the first city inside the [Forgotten Star Area], Yasenia asked aloud, not bothering to hide from An. "Alaia, do our energy formations work?"

Alaia answered right away. "Everything is working again, Young Miss. It looks like the interference was only from the outside."

An spoke. "The formation covering this place has been here even before the oldest cultivator. It is normal for your formations not to be able to see through them."

Yasenia laughed softly. "Something being ancient doesn't mean that it is powerful. Still, I wonder... Alaia, how many sixth realm cultivators are there?"

Alaia's tone was filled with uncertainty when she answered. "The formation has spotted seven of them... But I feel like there are more. What do you think, Young Miss?"

The dragoness pondered for a while and spoke slowly. "Miss An, how many Sixth Realm cultivators are there?"

An blinked and asked. "Sixth realm? What do you mean?"

Yasenia looked at An closely, her golden eyes peering through her as she analyzed her body's energy. After deducing that she was a Body Cultivator, she spoke. "Beyond Epoch Core Realm. Epoch Core is the fifth realm, so I am talking about those beyond it."

Yasenia explained it redundantly so that An perfectly knew what she meant. She blinked a few times and asked. "Beyond Epoch Core? That's... Impossible, no?"

Yasenia sighed. "The worst type of leaders... Shadow leaders."

Kali asked, curious. "Why are they the worst type?"

"Well, if you are in a place with a king or an emperor that has a very strong cultivation base, you can somewhat be at ease that they won't meddle in your business as long as you don't poke your nose in theirs." Yasenia explained. "But, with shadow leaders, they like to micromanage everything. So, if you suddenly sell something to the wrong person, they might just send people to eliminate you before you understand what you did wrong."

Kali and even An realized.

"Wait." An paused and looked at Yasenia with widened eyes. "There are beyond Epoch Cores in this place!?"

Yasenia nodded. "There are a few. At least seven, and at most... I don't know, to be honest." Yasenia ordered. "Let's change ships. We'll enter in the peak-level Heaven-Ranked ones that we built in Distancia."

An asked. "Distancia? That little demon? What do you all have to do with that awful being?"

The dragoness and the others looked at An with surprised eyes. "Distancia... I mean, it might not be the same being... Can you explain why you call him "little demon," Miss An?"

An frowned and looked at them. She crossed her arms and stated. "First, explain your relation to him. If I consider you dangerous, I'll call the guards so that they can arrest you!"

The dragoness laughed. "You have guts! You aren't afraid that I will kill you right here so that nobody knows that I have ever mentioned Distancia?" Yasenia leaned forward, matching An's eye level. "That's honestly the safest course of action, Miss An. Now, what are you going to do?"

An gulped at the predatory look in Yasenia's eyes. However, she gritted her teeth and exclaimed. "Then, kill me! My companions will avenge me!"

The dragoness stretched her hand and summoned a golden flame that gave off a terrifying heat. An's eyes reflected the golden flame, making her legs tremble. Being burned by that flame would be quite the torture. Still, she didn't speak and stubbornly looked at Yasenia.

The dragoness pondered. 'Hm... She either has a really brave heart, or she is just as dumb as a brick and thinks I don't dare kill her...'

Kali spoke from the side. "Miss An, just tell us why you spoke about Distancia in that manner, and then, we will tell you how we are related to him. I swear it is not something that will make you upset regardless of who Distancia is or what he's done."

An giggled. "Thingy~. It sounds cute coming from you."

Kali raised her eyebrow. "Trying to flirt with my wife in front of me? You have guts, Miss An."

An coughed. "I-I wasn't flirting! It was a factual statement!"

Kali smirked. "Well, I agree."

Then, An focused on the map and pointed at a large energy signal. "Here."

After they saw where she was pointing at, Alaia spoke. "Three of the seven Transcendent Cultivators are hiding there, Young Miss."

Yasenia hummed. "Let's go. We can't really flee or hide. We are on a timer."

Their ship turned in that direction, and then it flew toward that area. Their speed was not high, similar to other spatial treasures. The last thing they wanted was to stand out in the "eyes" of those three powerhouses.

They took around one week to arrive. An spoke to them. "You now need to go low and follow those Flying treasures over there. The entrance will be similar to what you went through in the outer gate. However, the inspection is much laxer."

"Sure. You heard her, Alaia."

With Yasenia's confirmation, Alaia followed An's instructions. The queue was long, so they took another day before they arrived. Kali looked at Yasenia and asked. "Love, perhaps you need to bring your wings out."

Yasenia pondered and said. "I'll keep them constantly out. It will be less bothersome. Deploy the concealing formation for a second while I take out my wings."

After a maid deployed the formation, Yasenia focused her energy and focused on her back. A faint burning sensation filled her entire back, and after a while, a pair of gorgeous dragon wings emerged from her back.

Her dress had two openings perfectly fitting them, courtesy of Evelyn's expertise.

During the last few years, Evelyn's Spiritual Tailoring mastery has reached the peak of the mortal realms. Therefore, while the blue dress she currently had was not as strong as her [Innate Dress: Celestial Cosmos Dress], it was still a peak-level Heaven-Ranked dress.

When the wings came out, the maid dissipated the concealing formation. Yasenia looked toward the enormous gate to enter and saw people storing the flying treasures. "It seems that we will need to do the rest of the journey by foot... Hm?"

The dragoness looked around and saw most people in the ship blankly staring at her. With her elegant and long robes, the floaty ribbons, her gorgeous tail and wings, and her innate charm, Yasenia's beauty was now otherworldly and illusory, as if she were a goddess that decided to bestow mortals with the gift of her appearance.

Yasenia chuckled. "Honey, remember that you are the one talking. Focus~."

Kali coughed and looked forward. "Honestly, love. I don't know how effective hiding will be. You are like a giant bonfire in the middle of the night. Impossible to miss."

Yasenia shrugged. "We've done the best we can. Remember to be overbearing, love. Use your bloodline pressure and auras without holding back. Also, Valeria, come out wearing a dress similar to mine. Let's try to look like Kali's elite guards while my maids look like soldiers we are commanding."

Looking at An, Yasenia smiled and said. "Miss An, please keep in mind that arrangement and follow our act."

An blinked and nodded twice, still looking at Yasenia stupidly. When Valeria appeared wearing something identical to Yasenia, it was a light purple instead of blue.
