A Dao Tribulation is the rarest kind of tribulation, and a lethal one at that. For anyone who encounters it, the odds of surviving are less than one in ten thousand, let alone the fact that such a tribulation is purely the stuff of legends.
Coming from the Inner Mainland, they belonged to ancient and long-standing families, so they naturally possessed some understanding of the Dao Tribulation. To put it simply, any cultivator who actually encountered a Dao Tribulation upon breakthrough was bound to be an absolute genius—no, calling them an absolute genius fell short; they were destined to be someone favored by both immense talent and supreme fortune. Proud as these youths were, and including even the members of their own clans, not a single one had ever faced a Dao Tribulation.
Do not let its ordinary-sounding name fool you; it was far more terrifying than the Nine-Heavens Tribulation. Therefore, when Yun Jin stated that this was a Dao Tribulation, their immediate reaction was disbelief. They refused to believe that someone abandoned by their ancestors, someone living in a barren land where spiritual energy was many times thinner than that of the Inner Mainland, could produce such an peerless genius. This dealt a heavy blow to the haughtiness and pride they had harbored during this period, making them feel as though they had been slapped in the face.
