As a major sect, the Red Phoenix Sect had a whole set of cultivation protocols. For instance, when someone attempted to form a Golden Core, they would not only arrange appropriate protectors, but also notify as many people as possible and organize High Stage Emergence from Dust cultivators and perceptive Mid Emergence from Dust disciples to observe.
Of course, some people attempting to form a Golden Core would suddenly begin breaking through after ten or even eighteen years of seclusion, catching everyone off guard. Still, some preparation was far better than none.
