Though the remnants of the Calamity Immortal’s consciousness had vanished, the words left lingering in Yu Lie’s heart echoed persistently in his mind, stirring his thoughts endlessly.
“What? Even above the first-rank level?”
Yu Lie had never imagined that the Calamity Immortal’s expectations for him were so high.
Nor had he conceived that beyond the first-rank Golden Core, there might exist an even higher tier.
This led him to ponder secretly: “Could it be that the superior Golden Core refers to top-tier Golden Cores, supreme Golden Cores, or even immortal-grade Golden Cores?”
In truth, as the Calamity Immortal had mentioned, above the first-rank Golden Core, there indeed existed higher quality Golden Cores.
However, contrary to Yu Lie’s supposition, these were not crudely labeled as ‘supreme’ or ‘top-tier’ by vulgar tongue.
These cultivars exceeded the comprehension of ordinary folk, yet were still collectively called first-rank.
This is because the first-rank Golden Core is the theoretical pinnacle within Immortal Dao cultivation—once touched, no matter how profound or mysterious the Golden Core, it is all categorized under one tier: the pill formation of first-rank.
