Qin Fengming had once asked Zhao Yusi and his wife about the Snow Nether Palace test, but the couple had explained it very vaguely. Now, after hearing the words of the three Spirit Severing cultivators, he finally understood everything.
The so-called Snow Nether Palace test was an examination of divine sense, physical body, and adaptability.
The divine sense examination was the Snow Nether Illusionary Realm. Only after passing the test of the Snow Nether Illusionary Realm could one proceed to the physical-body examination that followed.
The Snow Nether Illusionary Realm was merely an illusionary realm and had no ability to kill. As long as one's divine sense had reached the Spirit Severing realm, or one possessed some secret art or divine ability capable of restraining illusions, one could pass through it safely.
The only difference was the amount of time it took.
The physical-body examination was crossing the Ascension Platform.
The Ascension Platform was a flight of stone steps constructed from an extremely special material. Terrifying pressure existed upon those steps, and it changed according to the cultivator's cultivation. The higher one's cultivation realm, the greater the pressure one had to endure. Once a cultivator stepped onto it, he had to circulate his physical strength to resist it.
Without sufficient strength, one could not even set foot on the Ascension Platform.
Qin Fengming had experienced this sort of physical-strength examination before. Back then, in the Immortal Mountain Secret Realm, he had undergone a trial involving a gravity restriction. Presumably, the physical-body trial of the Snow Nether Palace was similar to that gravity restriction.
As for the final examination of adaptability, it involved entering a special valley filled with many extremely concealed restrictions. A cultivator only needed to pass through it to complete the test.
Rather than saying that these tests
