Chapter 1510. Basic Charm Arts and Next Location.

Lady First waited for 23 days before she saw a wobbly and exhausted Yasenia walk into the room and plop down onto the comfortable cushion. Lady First took a sip of her tea calmly and looked at Yasenia’s exhausted expression. “How was it?”

“I thought I’d die.”

Instantaneous answer with zero hesitation. Yasenia’s stamina might be Heaven-defying for her level of strength. However, Tatyana was, in the end, a Level 3 Demigoddess. A talented one with extensive knowledge in Dual Cultivation, on top of that.

For Yasenia to beat Tatyana, there was still a long road ahead.

Lady First was about to speak when she saw Tatyana amble into the room with a happy smile. Lady First’s expression twitched severely. “Tatyana… did you forget something?”

Tatyana blinked and asked, confused. “What do you mean?”

Yasenia looked over, and her face was instantly covered by some embarrassment. Lady First’s eyebrow twitched again, and she pointed at Tatyana’s stomach. “I want to ask back. What do YOU mean?”

Tatyana looked down and saw her extremely bloated stomach. She looked like an 8-month pregnant woman. Of course, a Demigoddess would be unable to get pregnant that fast, so what was inflating her stomach was naturally another thing.

Yasenia stopped looking, deciding to ignore her.

Meanwhile, Tatyana, with absolutely zero shame, raised her eyebrow. “What? Can’t I enjoy my walls being nurtured with my Little Treasure’s seme—”

“Alright, let’s continue where we left off.” Lady First, like Yasenia, decided to ignore the shameless woman.

Yasenia nodded, straightening her back and looking serious.

For the next 3 months, Lady First taught Yasenia three skills. They were the three most basic skills, but Lady First had asked Yasenia to practice them until she reached the [Initial Achievement] on all of them.

These three were [Enchanting Smile], [Seductive Walk], and [Ensnaring Gaze]. Each of them could complement each other, and when practiced to [Initial Achievement], they would gain some passive effects. Meaning, even without triggering them actively, as long as Yasenia willed it, she could create a lingering effect of the skill around her.

Lady First knew that it wouldn’t take long, though. With Yasenia’s talent and advancement, pushing these mortal-grade skills to immortal initial achievement would be a matter of a year or two.

With homework at hand, our dragoness decided to go to the next location. “Hm… Where should I go first? [Embercore Nesting Grounds], [Genesis Thunder Rift], or [Sovereign’s Echo Cavern]?”

She was unsure. After all, each of them would bring different advantages. “Which one is the one that will help me the most on the rest?”

Yasenia, transformed into her cosmic dragon form, flew around the Dragon Paradise without aim. She was not at complete leisure, but rushing would naturally do no good. Therefore, she flew around aimlessly to calm her mind from everything and sort out her thoughts.

As she recalled the last three months, a chuckle escaped her. There was one time when she didn’t notice Cai Xue enter and was practicing the [Enchanting Smile] in the mirror.

After being frozen for a while, she heard Cai Xue make a strange, strangled noise before hastily leaving the room. Yasenia, of course, knew that her cute maid had returned to her room to “calm” herself.

A chuckle escaped her. “I wonder how my dears will react?”

Her dears have been nurtured by her across the grand majority of the mortal realms. Therefore, she knew that they had much more resistance to her charm. ‘However, this time, I am actively increasing my charm. Will it be… too much?’

Yasenia shook her head and then smirked. ‘If they are unaccustomed, can’t I… acclimate them again? Hehe.’

The five girls in other Heavenly Layers strangely felt a chill climb up their spines, as if danger would soon approach them.

After two days of aimless flying, Yasenia felt satisfied and decided to continue her training. “I’ve decided. The next one will be the [Genesis Thunder Rift].”

This place, like the Starlit Molting Pool, would also refine her body as a side effect of the main aim of the terrain. ‘While the Embercore Nesting Grounds will most likely have a similar effect, the effect of the [Genesis Thunder Rift] should be much stronger. When I go to the other locations later, I’ll take much less time and have the same outcomes.’

And so, her large wings shifted, making her body lean sideways. Then, she flapped, and her body streaked through the sky. Her speed was much quicker than before, and in just a few minutes, she arrived at the location of the [Genesis Thunder Rift].

The massive crack on the earth extended from one edge to the other for millions of kilometers. In the crack, terrifying thunderclouds rumbled constantly, creating a thunderous atmosphere.

Honestly, Yasenia could swear that if a low-level mortal dragon came here, their eardrums would rupture just by approaching the surface of this area.

As she was about to dive in, Yasenia recalled Ao Xianlan going down to speak with Old Man Ao. ‘I wonder what they’ve talked about?’

If Yasenia knew that Old Dragon Ao had "confiscated" Ao Xianlan to learn of recent developments, she would light up a small candle in her heart to wish her pampering aunt good luck!

Extending her wings, Yasenia dove down into the clouds.

“Wait!”

Yasenia quickly tensed her wings, her body stopping and creating terrifying gales around her. A touch of annoyance flashed in her eyes before she turned to look.

A blue and orange colored Eastern Dragon flew toward her, its size just a few kilometers in length. While he was as large as a mountain, his body looked extremely tiny by Yasenia’s side.

The dragon smiled. “I am Ying Dalong, Lady Yasenia. I just wanted to tell you if you know about the layers in this place. If you don’t, I can guide you down. I might not look strong, but I am a Level 5 Mythical Core Dragon, less than 15,000 years old!”

Yasenia, who was listening silently, almost rolled her eyes. ‘Here I thought you were someone from the younger generation because of the way you spoke. Aren’t you a senior!?’

If Ying Dalong heard her, he would feel somewhat wronged. For a Dragon of his strength, 15,000 years old was quite young! Considering himself someone of Yasenia’s generation was not entirely wrong in terms of strength.

Of course, in terms of age, there was nothing to say. Not even “outclassed” could describe the chasm between them.

Looking at the dragon that looked like a small snake whom she could curl around one of her wrists, Yasenia pondered. ‘Should I let him guide me? I can just leave him behind when he can’t advance further down, right?’

With that in mind, she decided to nod. “Alright, guide me.”

Hearing Yasenia’s enhanced voice, Ying Dalong was quite excited. “Perfect! Follow me, Lady Yasenia. The journey down is a bit dangerous. Still, I can accompany you until the seventh layer! We can then cultivate there.”

Yasenia didn’t burst his bubble. Instead, she nodded. “How many layers are there?”

Ying Dalong and Yasenia dove down, easily entering the first layer of clouds. In this layer, there were mostly mortal Dragons. Like in the Starlit Molting Pool, Yasenia needed to be a bit careful not to splatter one of them by accident, like a mosquito hitting a speeding carriage.

After all, mortal dragons measure in the tens or hundreds of meters. They were truly tiny compared to Yasenia!

Ying Dalong spoke with Yasenia as both of them dove down. “Lady Yasenia, there are nine layers to the Genesis Thunder Rift. The first two layers are usually used by Mind Core and Fusion Core dragons. The following two are used by initial Legendary Core and later-stage Legendary Core dragons. The next layers are for Mythical Core Dragons and above. Each person has very different limits, so no layer is attributed to anyone.”

Yasenia nodded. “So, we need to fly carefully until we reach the fifth layer?”

Ying Dalong blinked, and then he noticed that Yasenia was doing some microadjustments as they flew, dodging the petite dragons that brushed past her. “Ah. No wonder. I thought Lady Yasenia was going down slowly to acclimate herself. She is just a bit scared of hitting a junior.”

His size was also quite large, but not large enough to need so many maneuvers.

He chuckled. “Yes, we will need to reach the Fifth Layer before you’ll fly freer.”

Yasenia nodded and observed the surroundings. Even when it was cloudy, with her newly improved Spiritual Sense, the clouds felt as if they weren't there at all. This allowed her to see the number of Dragons training here.

‘There are… a lot of them.’

She had noticed when she first entered the Starlit Molting Pool. However, the number of dragons in these first few layers easily reached the millions.

‘Moreover, from what I heard, these zones are reserved for the talented dragons.’

The talented are, naturally, a very small proportion compared to the entirety of the dragon population. Yasenia could only sigh in amazement. ‘There are quite literally billions of dragons, if not more. Impressive.’

Knowing this, she knew why Ao Xianlan was so sure when facing the superpowers back then. The Dragon Race in the Blue Pearl World is not weak!

“How deep is this place?”

Somewhat bothered by the constant thundering of the lightning, Yasenia began asking questions to Ying Dalong.

“Nobody knows.” Ying Dalong shook his dragon head. “Our seniors are unable to reach the deepest parts. It’s the same case as the other sections. To reach the deepest sections, you need talent and strength beyond common sense.”

Here, he paused and looked at Yasenia. ‘The commotion caused a few months ago was caused by Lady Yasenia. She probably reached a place deep within the Starlit Molting Pool, causing the seniors to grow agitated.’

Yasenia didn’t know, nor did she care, what this male dragon was thinking about. She didn’t even notice the subtle attempts when speaking to get closer to her.

For these kinds of “courtings,” Yasenia was a block of wood. Unless it came from her lovers, she just couldn’t get a hint.

It did not take long before they arrived at the fifth layer, and Yasenia finally sighed in relief. ‘Those little ones really put me on edge. There were three times I almost collided with someone!’

Once she reached the fifth layer, the lightning here began attacking her massive body with brutality. However, Yasenia’s expression didn’t even change. ‘Quite… mild.’

Ying Dalong sighed. “This layer already feels quite painful. It’s really impressive the jump from mortal to immortal.”

Yasenia blinked, baffled. ‘Painful? It feels as if someone is gently tapping my skin.’
