Heaven, Earth, Me 5 (GL)

Chapter 860. Beginning of the Dantian Spiritualization Realm Tribulation.

Yasenia sauntered toward the Tribulation Plaza. The area was located on a large mound that you could climb with stairs or a path that circled around it. Because of its nature, the plaza was meant to be a bit isolated, so the images in the sky showed Yasenia gently tapping the floor as her body moved up the slope.

Her dress fluttered with elegance, and her calm face was a testament to her ability to withstand pressure. People couldn't help but feel awe because no one was usually this calm when facing Heavenly Tribulations, especially not between the spectators, who were average cultivators for the most part.

After climbing the slope, the dragoness stopped and looked around. 'Well, I need to give a reason for the public show, right? If not, people might create stupid rumors.'

Then, she spoke. "There is one reason I wanted to make my Heavenly Tribulation public." Yasenia started. "While the world looks at me as a genius, they look at me as someone with inborn strength; many look at me and feel that I'm just lucky to be born with a good constitution and bloodline. That I'm blessed by the heavens and that my efforts to reach my current strength are none existent."

The dragoness shook her head. "I want to prove that, while I've had many opportunities, my hard work is what allowed me to gain those opportunities."

Yasenia stopped there. 'Hm. This should be enough. After all, I'm a young person for most people. Searching for approval from the world should be a reason good enough for almost everyone. Only those who understand my character deeply would know that what I've just said is just a cover.'

The people around discussed her words. "Well, it is the truth that while Sect Master is talented, I've never seen her stop working."

"Right. I even saw her working on some documents while she carried Little Sect Master around."

A new disciple blinked. "Little Sect Master? Who is that?"

That middle-aged man said. "Oh? You don't know about Miss Kaleina?"

The new disciple shook her head, and the man answered. "Miss Kaleina is Sect Master's Daughter!"

The new disciple's eyes widened. She asked. "A daughter? She has a daughter!? Isn't Sect Master super young? I heard that she is less than 60 years old!"

The middle-aged man nodded with a smile. "At her age, she is raising a daughter while pushing this entire sect forward. Honestly, she is an incredible woman. Even if she was weak, I would not mind following her."

The new disciple nodded.

Then, Yasenia walked forward toward the center of the Tribulation Plaza, and after reaching that point, she sat cross-legged. Her long tail circled around her legs as she relaxed her mind and body and focused on her Dantian.

The defensive formations around the Tribulation Plaza activated, creating a transparent dome several kilometers in height.

Right after, fifty auras of immense magnitude descended all around the area, making the entire sect feel like the air had stilled. The fifty maids, otherwise known as Astral Fairies, floated in the air, wearing their maid uniforms and wielding their weapons. For the first time, they didn't hide their cultivation level, making everyone who looked felt insignificant under their tsunami-like pressure.

An Astral Elder, a title given to middle-level Epoch Cores, exclaimed. "Impossible! How can their cultivation be so high!?"

One of his disciples, who couldn't even discern their level, asked. "Master, how strong are they?"

The Astral Elder spoke solemnly. "They are all in the Middle-Level Epoch Core and above. There are ten of them whose level I can't discern accurately, so I imagine those are peak-level Epoch cores."
