Logically speaking, he was a Nascent Soul at the first level of Cultivation, wasn't it easy for a Nascent Soul to crush a Golden Core at the peak of Great Perfection?
Moreover...
How could his Nascent Soul be shattered by a Golden Core?
A Nascent Soul completely dominates a Golden Core, unless the Golden Core's grade is high enough, otherwise, it's simply impossible to shatter his Nascent Soul across a Great Realm.
But... that's it!
His true body had already arrived, and unlike the Nascent Soul, which couldn't utilize Spiritual Energy, no matter how talented the Golden Core was, it was still an existence crushed by the Nascent Soul. As long as he could stuff this Nascent Soul pill back into his body, although he would lose some power, it would at least not decline too much!
If a Nascent Soul cultivator experiences some accidents while their Nascent Soul is in Divine Travel, and the Nascent Soul can't return...
Then...
They're basically ruined.
