In the Central Continent, Celestial Tribulations were not immutable. Instead, they were determined by a cultivator's talent, cultivation, and karma. The greater one's talent and the more profound their foundation, the more powerful the Celestial Tribulation they would face.
Demon Cultivators would accumulate karma simply by cultivating with Demonic Qi. Therefore, Demon Cultivators faced the most severe Celestial Tribulations; even their Tribulation Pills had to face a tribulation.
By Nine Marvels' estimate, the Celestial Tribulation Yang Jing was facing was almost equivalent to the one a cultivator with miscellaneous Lower-Grade Five Elements Spirit Roots would encounter during Nascent Soul Formation after practicing a shortcut technique that focused only on realm progression, not magical power.
A Celestial Tribulation of this intensity, for someone of Yang Jing's cultivation, was no different from scratching an itch.
