As Lu Zijia and the others had expected, after getting the Mystic Golden Core Pill, many cultivators started to try to break through the barrier of the Golden Core one after another.

Seven cultivators in Hongtian Academy alone tried to break through.

In order to protect the safety of these seven cultivators, Deputy Dean Kou Sun directly ordered the academy to impose martial law. Only students and teachers of the Hongtian Academy were allowed to enter the academy.

They even sent two guards each to protect the seven cultivators.

“Look at the commotion over there. Is someone about to break through?”

A female classmate who had just walked out of the library suddenly exclaimed, attracting the attention of her companions who subconsciously followed her gaze.

“I heard that seven cultivators from our academy tried to break through to the Golden Core realm. From the looks of it, it seems to be true.”

“That’s indeed the sign of breaking through to the Golden Core realm.”

“That’s right. When my grandfather broke through to the Golden Core realm,

“I wonder who will be the first to break through to the Golden Core realm. I’m so envious!”

“I heard that five of the seven cultivators who were trying to break through to the Golden Core realm this time came from the Martial Arts Department. One of them is a new student who just entered the academy!”

“No way? The new student is definitely not more than forty years old. A Golden

Core cultivator who’s not even forty years old. Isn’t… isn’t this too powerful?”

“I think that even if that person doesn’t have a mutated single spirit root, he must have a single spirit root. Otherwise, how could he advance to the Golden Core realm before the age of forty?”

“Even if it’s a single spirit root, it’s considered superior-class among geniuses to be able to step into the ranks of Golden Core experts before the age of forty.”

Xu Qi, who happened to pass by, was in a good mood when he heard those female cultivators praising his brother. The pride on his face was simply too obvious!

“Right, it’s said that none of the seven cultivators who tried to break through this time are from the Alchemy Department. The people from the Alchemy Department were usually very arrogant. They always thought that they were the number one in the world and that others could only be at the bottom. But their department isn’t involved in breaking through to the Golden Core realm this time. I wonder if they’ll feel embarrassed and hide in the Alchemy Department, not daring to come out.”

“I think the people from the Alchemy Department are hiding. Didn’t you notice that you rarely meet people from there recently?”

“Huh? Hearing your reminder, it seems to be true.”

“Tsk, tsk, is this considered the cycle of Feng Shui? Every dog has its day.”

“The Alchemy Department deserves it. They’ve been getting more and more arrogant in the past few years. It’s best if the Martial Arts Department can completely suppress the Alchemy Department.”

A student from the Alchemy Department who happened to come out of the library heard their discussion clearly. His face couldn’t help turning red and he was extremely embarrassed.

Three days later, the sky of Hongtian Academy welcomed the first lightning tribulation for advancement to the Golden Core realm.

The next day, there was also a commotion in the Du family.

As the lightning tribulation kept appearing, although the cultivators in Hongtian City weren’t as shocked as they were at the beginning, they still couldn’t help but sigh and be envious every time a new lightning tribulation appeared.

Even though the peak of the Foundation Establishment realm was only a step away from the Golden Core realm, countless cultivators had never taken this step in their lives.

So, how could people not be envious and jealous that so many new Golden Core cultivators appeared at once?

As cultivators kept advancing outside, Lu Zijia and Mu Tianyan, who were at the bottom of the cliff at the back of the mountain of the Martial Arts Department, finally had some progress after trying to break through to the Golden Core realm for ten days..
