It was widely known and accepted that the Domain Realm tribulation caused the highest mortalities of all realms—even when compared to that of the Soul Formation realm, which many, including Yang Qing, found strange. It stood to reason that the higher up the realms one climbed, the more fatal the tribulation would be. And yet, the tribulation of the Domain Realm was said to claim more lives than that of the Soul Formation realm.
Why was that?
During his two breakthroughs—the Core Formation one and the Palace Realm one—Yang Qing had felt the difference in quality between the tribulations. Granted, he had slept through both, but even so, he could still tell the difference. While they were both easy for him, the Palace Realm tribulation felt like being massaged by firm hands, as opposed to the Core Formation tribulation, which felt like being massaged by delicate hands wrapped in jelly.
