The gap between the Foundation Establishment and the Golden Core was immense, marking a difference in the essence of life itself. Over the past eighty thousand years, no cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage had ever challenged someone at the Golden Core Stage.
This was common knowledge.
But for Lin Jing, there was another kind of common sense in the world, one that had emerged only in the past two thousand years.
The practitioners of Heterodox Paths were skilled in combat, having stolen the secrets of Heavenly Mechanism and Heavenly Dao. The combat power of True Law Practitioners was on average a whole level lower than that of those from the Heterodox Paths.
The average combat ability of a Heterodox Foundation Establishment Practitioner was on par with that of a Righteous Skill Golden Core Practitioner.
