The so-called "false elixir" is a transitional stage between the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment and the Golden Core stage.
At this point, the dantian had condensed into the shape of a golden elixir, but it was very illusory and could not be considered a true golden elixir.
The difference between a fake elixir and a genuine golden elixir is enormous.
Without a doubt, the owner of that eye was a true Golden Core expert!
This also explains why the fake Core cultivator wanted to flee immediately upon seeing the eye.
"The Thief Heaven Sect?" Chen Yi's expression hardened.
The beast tide was indeed initially brought up by the people of the Thief Heaven Sect, but after the beast tide occurred, no one from the Thief Heaven Sect appeared for a long time.
He also felt it was strange.
Now, as those eyes revealed that this person was a cultivator from the Thief Heaven Sect, he seemed to have guessed something...
"Eyes...you are the Crimson Dragon Inspector—Master Hundred Eyes?" the fake Core Formation cultivator murmured.
"Our Thief Heaven Sect should have already cut off news of this beast tide. Apart from a few surrounding cities, it's impossible for the Central Court to have noticed it so quickly..."
His eyes narrowed slightly. "I've long heard that the Thief Heaven Sect has a method to transform the fake into the real, but I never expected them to set their sights on my Crimson Dragon Kingdom!"
Rumor has it that the Thief Heaven Sect possesses a method that can transform a pseudo-Core Formation cultivator into a true Core Formation cultivator.
The fake Core cultivator from the Thief Heaven Sect's expression changed slightly. As expected of the Hundred-Eyed True Man who sits in the position of Human Manifestation and holds the power of supervision, he even knows the secret of our sect's cultivation method of turning fake into real.
He had heard of the Daoist lineage of the Crimson Dragon Kingdom, which had three central hubs: the Central Court, the Gate, and the Supreme Ruler.
The central court is responsible for decision-making, the lower court for assistance, and the executive court for execution.
These three central hubs govern the six positions of the Great Dao Fruit, and each position can accommodate three posts.
This Hundred-Eyed True Man is one of the Three Sages of the Human Realm, responsible for supervision and inspection. He has a wide range of interests, and it is said that he is also in charge of supervising whether Foundation Establishment cultivators have Foundation Establishment certificates.
His eyes glanced at the ground almost imperceptibly.
Chen Yi suddenly felt that he was being watched.
He felt a chill run down his back and quickly pulled out his Foundation Establishment Certificate.
But he was still uncertain, after all, his information hadn't been uploaded yet, and he didn't know if this Hundred-Eyed Immortal would be easy to talk to...
"Hahaha! Not bad! I really do want to use merit to transform the false into the true, and turn the false elixir into a true golden elixir."
The members of the Thief Heaven Sect readily admitted it.
A powerful surge of energy erupted from his body, and his aura broke through the upper limit of the Pseudo-Core stage, stepping into the true Golden Core stage.
"You wouldn't believe it, would you? Even without the merits from Xiande City, I'm still confident I can turn the fake into the real!" he laughed heartily.
After all, besides Xiande, he also played the savior in other cities.
It's just a difference between 80% and 100% certainty...
Even if he wasn't 100% certain he could cultivate the Golden Core, he still had to try, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to defeat a single eye projected by the Hundred-Eyed True Man.
After the breakthrough, his body suddenly regained its mobility.
He stared into Bai Mu Zhenren's eyes, then pointed a finger, and a golden light shattered him.
He looked at his palm with satisfaction. This was the true power of the Golden Core.
He wasn't surprised that he could destroy the eye projected by the Hundred-Eyed True Man.
Although the opponent has the blessing of a high-ranking official, this place is thousands of miles away from the central courtyard, so the power the opponent can exert is limited.
Moreover, among the six positions, what he truly feared were the positions of military power and punishment, which were in charge of the central government. The real people who held these two positions had extraordinary combat power and could kill him as easily as killing a dog within the territory of the Crimson Dragon Kingdom.
Then he looked down at the survivors.
"A bunch of ants, since you've made a fool of yourself in front of me, then die..."
After saying that, he extended his finger again.
A dazzling golden light condensed at his fingertips.
But before he could launch an attack, eye projections reappeared all around him.
His magical power became chaotic again, and his body stiffened...
This time, it's two eyes.
Master Baimu said indifferently, "A newly promoted Golden Core cultivator dares to challenge me, a true master. Interesting..."
The next second, several more eyes appeared around them.
These eyes were everywhere, surrounding the people of the Thief Heaven Sect. When their gazes met, his body instantly collapsed and disintegrated.
"Great magical power..."
The Golden Core cultivator left behind three words before vanishing without a trace.
Chen Yi stared blankly at the scene.
A Golden Core cultivator perished.
Is this the top Golden Core cultivator in the Crimson Dragon Kingdom?
So strong...
"Alright, now that we've dealt with him, it's time to take care of your business."
Bai Mu Zhenren's gaze locked onto Chen Yi.
"Master, I have a Foundation Establishment Certificate!" Chen Yi quickly retorted.
Master Baimu let out a meaningful laugh.
"The Thief Heaven Sect had a powerful figure who intervened, concealing the news of the fifteen cities along the Crimson Dragon Mountain Range, and even keeping it from me. But do you know why I noticed this place?"
Chen Yi cursed inwardly: "So it was my illegal foundation building that attracted him. Dealing with the Thief Heaven Sect was just a side effect."
"Pah, I've already obtained the Foundation Establishment Certificate. It's her problem if Su Xin can't go back."
In the distance, Su Xin looked at Chen Yi, her heart filled with conflicting emotions.
If she were to show herself now, her identity would definitely be exposed.
After all, she was not from the Crimson Dragon Kingdom.
But after hesitating for a few seconds, she decided to step forward.
There was no other reason than that if Chen Yi died, his master would definitely reprimand him.
“Senior Bai, he has indeed obtained the Foundation Establishment Certificate,” Su Xin said.
"Oh? Although I only oversee the common people and not the officials, I remember the faces of all the officials. You are not one of us, are you?" Master Baimu said calmly.
Su Xin nodded and took out a token.
"I have come here on the orders of my master."
Master Baimu saw the token in Suxin's palm.
"Moon Concealment Order?"
A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. This young man actually got such a sect to intervene.
Immediately afterwards, he felt helpless.
Whenever a prodigy is born in my Crimson Dragon Kingdom who can enhance the nation's fortune, he is taken away by those sects in order to weaken the Human Emperor's lineage.
With the nation's destiny blocked, the imperial lineage will only decline further.
The struggle for orthodoxy is truly brutal...
"Since you are from there, I will turn a blind eye this time."
Chen Yi sensed helplessness in Hyakume Makoto's voice.
After saying that, the other person's eyes disappeared.
At this moment, the survivors around them were already embracing and weeping.
The conversation between Master Baimu and Chen Yi was kept secret from everyone else, so they had no idea what had happened.
Su Xin calmly looked at Chen Yi: "Let's go, come back with me."
Chen Yi thought to himself, "We've just escaped the tiger's den and entered the dragon's pool!"
“I know what you’re thinking, but why shouldn’t a cultivator broaden their horizons? Go out and see the world; perhaps you’ll have a different perspective,” Su Xin said calmly.
"But this is, after all, my birthplace," Chen Yi said insincerely.
Just kidding, this is the original owner's birthplace...
I have no relatives or friends here, so it doesn't really matter where I go.
The only thing he would be reluctant to leave behind was the familiar people and things here.
"It's not like I can't come back. Look at me, I can come and go in and out of the Crimson Dragon Kingdom at will," Su Xin said coldly.
Chen Yi shrugged and said, "Your passport is pretty high-class!"
"Passport?" Su Xin was taken aback.
"No? You even have a Foundation Establishment Certificate, but no passport?" Chen Yi was also somewhat surprised.
"Enough with the nonsense!" Su Xin turned around. "If you need to say goodbye to someone, go say goodbye now..."
