I Have a Cultivation Simulator

[In the previous two simulations, you could only watch quietly when the Shanhai Secret Realm opened.]

[Especially in the second simulation, even though you knew exactly when the Shanhai Secret Realm would open, you hadn't dared to interfere. You could only go after the easiest target and focus on Ye Feng.]

[But in this simulation, you were fully prepared. With your Foundation Establishment cultivation, even if you couldn't monopolize the entire secret realm, you could at least claim a share of the spoils.]

[Half a day later, You Rou found you and whispered, "President, a secret realm has appeared."]

["A secret realm?" You showed a well-timed hint of surprise, then pretended to think for a moment before saying, "Gather all the cultivators in the Chamber of Commerce immediately. We are heading to that secret realm."]

["Understood." You Rou immediately withdrew to gather the Chamber's cultivators.]

[You stepped out of the stronghold, left the market, and rode a beam of light, speeding through the clouds toward the Shanhai Secret Realm.]

[Before long, you arrived near the Shanhai Secret Realm.]

[Between two massive stone pillars, a gray vortex hung in the air, faintly exuding a desolate aura from ancient times.]

[You stood high in the clouds, carefully observing the gray vortex.]

[Compared to when you were in the Qi Refining stage, you were now a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Gazing at the gray vortex naturally brought you far more insight.]

[The gray vortex was fundamentally a spatial entrance. Originally, this entrance wouldn't have revealed itself; it would have remained hidden deep within the void.]

[However, a Core Formation Master had used immense magical power to forcefully stabilize it, forming a permanent passage for the sect's disciples to enter and exit.]

["That Master who served as the Shanhai Sect master wasn't just at the Core Formation stage. His mastery of the Dao of Formations must have reached the third tier as well; otherwise, it would have been impossible to make the spatial passage this stable..."]

[You observed carefully and drew several conclusions.]

[In this simulation, you had also studied the Dao of Formations. Even though your skills were still low-grade, you could faintly sense the extraordinary nature of the gray vortex.]

["Why would such a powerful formation master die before True Person Blood Sea?"]

[You pondered.]

[According to the information True Person Blood Sea revealed before trying to possess a body in the previous simulation, the Shanhai Sect master hadn't been able to completely kill him before passing away. He could only seal Blood Sea's remnant soul inside the Shanhai Ring, intending to use the power of the secret realm and the long passage of time to wear him down.]

[In other words, the Shanhai Sect master died before True Person Blood Sea.]

["A lot of cultivators are rushing over..."]

[You glanced into the distance. The auras of numerous Qi Refining cultivators were approaching.]

[You didn't try to stop them.]

[Nor could you.]

[The spiritual energy fluctuations emitted by the Shanhai Secret Realm's appearance could be clearly felt for miles around.]

[It was impossible to lock it down.]

[Unless your cultivation reached the Core Formation stage in the future and you used immense magical power to seal the gray vortex ahead of time, you wouldn't be able to fully control whether the Shanhai Secret Realm appeared.]

[As more and more cultivators arrived, many approached the gray vortex and were directly teleported into the secret realm.]

[You looked down quietly, with no intention of entering the secret realm yourself.]

[Admittedly, with your current strength, dealing with Qi Refining cultivators took nothing more than a mere thought.]

[But who knew if there were any dangerous areas inside that could threaten a Foundation Establishment cultivator?]

[In the second simulation, you had tasked Vice Alliance Leader You Rou with gathering intelligence about the inside of the secret realm.]

[But ultimately, you had never gone in personally, so you couldn't guarantee your own safety.]

[This secret realm was the former headquarters of the Shanhai Sect. And now that you had deduced that the Shanhai Sect master possessed third-tier mastery in the Dao of Formations, you were even less willing to risk yourself.]

[Besides, you had established the Qingyuan Chamber of Commerce and cultivated so many subordinates—wasn't this exactly what they were for?]

[Letting your subordinates go in and explore while you waited outside to intimidate the other Qi Refining cultivators and collect the spoils was both safe and secure.]

[Right at that moment, You Rou rode her magical artifact over to you.]

[At the same time, a large group of cultivators followed her and stopped in front of the secret realm's entrance. They were the cultivators from the Qingyuan Chamber of Commerce.]

[Over a hundred Chamber cultivators formed a mighty procession, waiting for your next instruction.]

["President, should we lock down the secret realm now?"]

[You Rou asked softly.]

[The cultivators currently around the secret realm were all in the Qi Refining stage. They couldn't possibly withstand a sweep from the Chamber.]

[So it was only natural for You Rou to plan to lock down the entrance and monopolize all the resources and benefits inside.]

["There is no need for a lockdown."]

[You shook your head slightly.]

[It wasn't that you didn't want to lock it down.]

[It was because as time passed, news of the secret realm's appearance would spread further and further, attracting more and more Qi Refining cultivators.]

[If you chose to forcefully lock down the secret realm, it would easily trigger a backlash. The Qi Refining cultivators unable to enter would likely call upon their friends and allies immediately, drawing the attention of Foundation Establishment cultivators.]

[In the previous two simulations, the opening of the Shanhai Secret Realm had attracted multiple Foundation Establishment cultivators, though that only happened in the middle to late stages of the event.]

["Guard the exit of the secret realm. Every cultivator who comes out must hand over fifty percent of their gains."]

[You ordered.]

[Allowing other Qi Refining cultivators to enter and explore, but requiring them to hand over fifty percent of their spoils—this was the most suitable decision for the current situation.]

[Taking half wouldn't be so harsh as to be completely unacceptable to those Qi Refining cultivators.]

[Furthermore, by letting other cultivators enter the secret realm, you were also taking Ye Feng into consideration.]

[You didn't know where the Shanhai Ring sealing True Person Blood Sea was located inside the secret realm. You still had to rely on Ye Feng going in and bringing the ring out.]

["Understood."]

[You Rou immediately flew down and relayed your decision.]

[The hundred-plus cultivators of the Qingyuan Chamber of Commerce instantly took up positions to guard the exit.]

[Under You Rou's arrangements, a portion of the Chamber's cultivators also entered the secret realm to explore. The rest guarded the exit, demanding a fifty percent cut of the harvest from every cultivator who left.]

[The Qingyuan Chamber of Commerce's actions immediately sparked resistance from the crowd of cultivators.]

[Entering the secret realm to explore was already an incredibly dangerous endeavor where they might die at any moment. And yet, after surviving and finally making it out, they still had to hand over half their harvest?]

["On what grounds are you making us hand over our gains?!"]

["Yeah, on what grounds? If you have the skill, go into the secret realm and explore it yourselves!"]

["Your Qingyuan Chamber of Commerce is too tyrannical!"]

[Many Qi Refining cultivators were filled with indignation.]

["Quiet. If you don't want to die, shut your mouth," an old man in the Qi Refining Late Stage said with a grim expression, glaring at the young cultivator beside him.]

[This young cultivator was the very one who had just been complaining about the Qingyuan Chamber of Commerce being too tyrannical and domineering.]

["Grandpa..." The young cultivator looked at the old man, somewhat confused.]

["Did you not notice that none of the other Qi Refining Late Stage cultivators are speaking?" The old man lowered his voice, wishing he could slap his grandson.]

["Huh?" The young cultivator looked bewildered. "Why is that?"]

["Look at the sky," the old man said, steadying his nerves.]

["The sky?"]

[The young cultivator looked up.]

[Among the clouds, a blurry figure stood quietly upon a blue beam of light, looking down. With wide sleeves fluttering in the wind, a spiritual pressure far surpassing the Qi Refining Realm cascaded downward.]

["The Foundation Establishment president of the Qingyuan Chamber of Commerce is already here. Allowing rogue cultivators like us the chance to enter the secret realm at all is a gift in itself. What more do you want?"]

[The tone of the old man in the Qi Refining Late Stage carried a slight tremor.]
