Chapter 56: Golden Core Realm appears, Challenging the Golden Core!

In the sky above Hongshan County, over a dozen Foundation Establishment Peak cultivators exchanged glances. They were all considering retreat.

The recent scene where Lin Zhongba wiped out the Eighteen Thugs of Yanyun had left a deep impression on them. Now, with the addition of Lin Ran, a Foundation Establishment Late-Stage cultivator at the age of sixteen or seventeen, it was evident that she was an absolute genius.

They weren't foolish enough to think that such an extraordinary individual was only extraordinary in terms of cultivation and lacked combat prowess.

"What's there to fear? Even if they're geniuses, there are only two Foundation Establishment Late-Stage among them. We have a group of Foundation Establishment Peak cultivators. If we unite, we can drive them away," someone finally couldn't sit still amid the crowd.

A voice, coming from an unknown source, sounded eerily in the sky above Hongshan County. Lin Zhongba's gaze instantly locked onto a sinister-looking old man with white hair in the crowd.

"Fellow Daoist, if you have something to say, come out and say it. No need for this stealthy approach," Lin Zhongba spoke and, with a slight movement of his hand, the next moment, the old man let out a wail of agony. Without any warning, his body was cleaved in half.

"Buzz!"

In the next moment, the old man's body turned into a green light and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Foundation Establishment Peak is indeed not as easy to kill as those three from earlier!"

Lin Zhongba shook his head. He had no intention of pursuing further. Right now, it was essential to complete the task that Grand Ancestor had entrusted him with, which was to take the Rainbow Maiden back.

The other Foundation Establishment cultivators were startled to see even Yunyao Prefecture's Gu, who had Foundation Establishment Peak-level strength, being slashed with a single stroke.

Gandpa's abilities were indeed diverse and powerful, but cultivation was the fundamental aspect in the cultivation world. No matter how magical the abilities were, Grandpa was still at Foundation Establishment Realm. Even the most miraculous abilities could be limited. Facing a Golden Core practitioner, they felt somewhat constrained, causing them to lose confidence.

"Don't worry; I've already tried my best under the guidance of Grand Ancestor. I can unleash all my abilities and take on a Golden Core Third Revolution without any issues," Lin Zhongba, with his aged appearance, stated confidently.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man in the white robe across from him twitched his lips. He suspected that the old man in front of him was targeting him, as his cultivation was indeed at the Golden Core Third Revolution

The key was that he had detected a hint of danger emanating from this old man, which was incredibly perplexing. This old man named Lin Zhongba, a Foundation Establishment Late-Stage cultivator, was genuinely giving him this kind of feeling.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Suddenly, in the sky, the auras of Lin Zhongba and Lin Ran, who had been conversing just moments ago, soared instantly. When everyone realized it and saw the two of them advancing from Late Foundation Establishment to Foundation Establishment Peak, they were left shocked and baffled.

What had just happened? How had their cultivations suddenly broken through? And it was even a dual breakthrough!

Lin Zhongba was slightly surprised too. Just now, the power from the python seed within his body had unexpectedly burst forth, enabling him to break through the bottleneck he was already teetering on in Foundation Establishment Late-Stage. He had reached the Foundation Establishment Peak realm.

"It must be the work of Grand Ancestor. He probably knew that the task he had given us was a bit challenging, so he gave us an advantage in advance," Lin Zhongba mumbled to himself. He then looked at the middle-aged man in the white robe with a smile and said, "Now, I should be able to take on a Golden Core Fourth Revolution!"

The middle-aged man, who was at the Golden Core Third Revolution, had a dark expression. He felt provoked and disrespected. However, his feet involuntarily took a step back. The sense of danger emanating from Lin Zhongba had grown even stronger!
