I only reached the Foundation Establishment stage at eighty years old, and then the system appeared.

Having just advanced to the Golden Core stage, Yang Hongbo didn't want to do anything. He wanted to rest for a few days and see what was going on with the ancestor. Although the cycle of advancing to the Golden Core stage was unpredictable, his own pills were the best, so this situation shouldn't occur!

I checked my points again. Although I won a big prize, I still need to be careful with the smaller ones. (Sigh! People are so greedy these days; they don't even care about amounts of tens of thousands anymore.)

The last entry in the points record: The host has advanced to the Golden Core stage, and has been awarded 50,000 points!

After enjoying a few more carefree days, seeing everyone diligently cultivating, and even his own woman abandoning her beloved husband and sitting listlessly on a meditation cushion, Yang Hongbo had no choice but to join the cultivation army.

However, Yang Hongbo was cultivating under the Treasure Tree, where he could more easily hear the joyful and pleasant consciousness emanating from it. It was truly strange that he could actually hear the consciousness.

When Yang Hongbo heard the treasure tree's consciousness, he also felt happy, and the speed at which he absorbed pills and spiritual energy became faster.

Normally, he could refine one Bixia Pill for Golden Core stage cultivation in a day, and he would absorb it all in half a day. However, Yang Hongbo was not afraid of needing more pills. Now he was the boss!

As cultivators with the same third-grade spiritual root, it would take others two or three days to absorb a top-grade pill. Moreover, there aren't that many top-grade pills in this cultivation world, so absorbing other low-quality pills would take even longer.

This demonstrates Yang Hongbo's rapid cultivation speed, and it's no wonder he was able to advance from the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Stage to the Golden Core Stage within a few years.

Moreover, his cultivation foundation was very solid, and he did not become frivolous despite his rapid advancement.

He cultivated under the precious tree for more than ten days, during which he returned to his cave to visit his two beloved wives. Seeing that they were still cultivating, he left.

A few days later, the clouds on Lianbo Mountain suddenly began to fluctuate violently, five-colored rays of light illuminated the heavens and the earth, and a huge tornado descended from the sky, with countless spiritual energies swirling down.

This strange phenomenon was outside the jurisdiction of the Treasure Tree, so it was seen within a range of tens of thousands of miles.

"My God! What kind of strange phenomenon is this? Is a treasure about to be born?"

"Perhaps, but even if there are treasures, they are beyond the reach of low-level cultivators like us!"

"Can't I even go and take a look?"

"A mere fluctuation of spiritual energy from a single skill used by a true master could shred us into pieces. You want to die, but I don't!"

Although the population of this land is sparse, it is still possible to gather two or three hundred Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators within a radius of tens of thousands of miles.

So, what is usually rare has suddenly appeared today, with more than three hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators swarming out.

When they arrived at the center of the strange phenomenon, they discovered that there was a third-order spiritual vein there, and a precious tree that was sixty or seventy meters tall was growing on the spiritual vein.

However, the center where spiritual energy gathers is not the treasure tree, but a cave.

"Someone has broken through to the Golden Core stage. Should we do something about it?" a cunning individual whispered.

"If you're looking to die, don't drag us down with you. Things are almost over here. If you want to cause trouble, you'll have to outrun a Golden Core stage expert!"

Just then, the spiritual energy tornado slowly disappeared, the stone door of the cave opened, and a middle-aged man who looked to be in his fifties walked out, letting out a loud laugh that resounded through the sky.

"Once I swallow this golden pill, my fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens!"

"Ancestor, stop shouting, it's so awkward."

"What died?" the old ancestor asked, not having heard clearly at first.

Yang Hongbo pointed to the Foundation Establishment cultivators surrounding the sky, and the patriarch then noticed the group of kids surrounding the protective shield (anyone weaker than me is a kid), and immediately glared at them.

"What do you want? Do you think this is a marketplace?"

"What's so interesting? If it's to congratulate me on advancing to the Golden Core stage, then leave the gift. If not, then I won't be polite!"

Information about Ancestor Yang Changting had already spread among several Foundation Establishment cultivators near Qingmang Town, and everyone soon learned of the Ancestor's name.

Everyone responded in unison, "We also came to check because we discovered someone had broken through to the Golden Core stage. We never expected it to be the Yang family patriarch who advanced to the Golden Core stage!"

"Then today we congratulate Ancestor Yang on his great fortune and advancement to the Golden Core True Monarch!" Everyone bowed to Ancestor Yang and presented him with some precious treasures.

Yang Hongbo transformed into a concierge to accept the gifts from these Foundation Establishment cultivators. With each gift he accepted, a system notification sounded in his head.

These people are all Foundation Establishment cultivators, and the gifts they give will definitely earn them no less than a thousand points in family development, so Yang Hongbo is very happy to receive the gifts.

As Yang Hongbo accepted the gifts, he took out the invitations he had prepared beforehand: "The Ancestor's Golden Core Advancement Banquet will be held in six months. We hope you will all attend!"

Actually, the invitation only mentioned "Master Yang" without specifying whose name it was. Moreover, Yang Hongbo had told everyone in the clan not to announce his advancement to the Golden Core stage yet.

The only person in the clan who doesn't know that Yang Hongbo is already a Golden Core True Monarch is the Ancestor, because he advanced to the Golden Core stage so late.

Every Foundation Establishment cultivator who received an invitation would say to Yang Hongbo, "Master Yang, I'm from the Li family in the neighboring Liuhe Town. Please take care of me in the future!"

"Master Yang, I am from the Fan family in the neighboring town of Ikeda. Please take care of me in the future."

After receiving gifts and sending invitations, the Foundation Establishment cultivators left. These guys wanted to seize the treasure, but they didn't expect the treasure to turn into a kitchen knife, cutting flesh without any mercy.

Yang Hongbo returned to the mountaintop, and the patriarch said to everyone with a smile, "I never thought that I, the patriarch, would also become a Golden Core True Monarch. In the past, if you wanted to see a True Monarch, you had to go to a big city more than 10,000 miles away from us."

"If it weren't for the Golden Core Pill that Yang Hongbo brought back this time, the Ancestor wouldn't have been able to achieve the Golden Core True Monarch so quickly. Therefore, the person who deserves the most credit this time is Yang Hongbo."

After speaking, the patriarch looked at Yang Shengyu and said, "Shengyu, you are the only one in the clan who is closest to the Golden Core stage. I hope you can break through to the ninth level of Foundation Establishment as soon as possible, and you will be the second Golden Core True Monarch in the clan!"

Yang Hongbo's grandfather's lips twitched slightly, and he looked at his grandson again, his face full of a sincere smile.

"My own grandson is the best; he's neither arrogant nor impatient. I wonder if the patriarch will feel embarrassed when he finds out he's only the second Golden Core True Monarch in the family!"

On this day, Liu Chongzuo, who was cultivating in the ancestral land of the Liu family, suddenly received a message from his eldest uncle, asking him to come to Lianbo Mountain.

Liu Chongzuo immediately flew away on his sword and soon arrived at the foot of Lianbo Mountain, where he saw his maternal uncle. Although he was almost forty years old, he still felt a little embarrassed when he saw his uncle.

"Uncle, how could we trouble you to wait here!"

"It's alright. We haven't seen each other for years. Have you ever resented your uncle?"

"How could that be? You were so good to me when I was little!"

"Let's go, we'll talk about it up the mountain!"

The two went up to the cave on the top of the mountain, where Liu Chongzuo saw his two maternal aunts.

Although he was much older than them, he still respectfully greeted them, "My two aunts, your nephew Liu Chongzuo greets you."

Li Xiaolian and Li Xiaolan returned the greeting, after all, he was her nephew, and her husband was now a Golden Core True Monarch!

Yang Hongbo took out a Foundation Establishment Pill and a bottle of Qi-replenishing pills and handed them to Liu Chongzuo: "You'll advance to Foundation Establishment right here today!"

Liu Chongzuo glanced gratefully at his uncle, said nothing, and walked into the secret room, the stone door slamming shut behind him.
