I have a cultivation simulator

Chapter 55 Secret Realm 3 Open

"Blood Sea Immortal..."

Outside of the simulation, Zhou Qing fell into a brief moment of contemplation.

Since the plan is to create the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm, Blood Sea Master is definitely an indispensable part of it.

In some ways, Blood Sea Master was Zhou Qing's target.

Even if a Core Formation cultivator's physical body and golden core are destroyed, leaving only a wisp of spirit, they are still not to be underestimated.

Those hundreds of years of memories alone are already an invaluable treasure.

Not to mention, Zhou Qing was hoping to obtain the Core Formation chapter of the "Shan Hai Jue" from the other party.

The Core Formation chapter of the "Shan Hai Jue" contains a method for condensing the Dao Body of Mountains and Seas. This is information that even the Blood Sea Immortal emphasized, so it goes without saying how important it is.

In the third simulation, Zhou Qing started at the Foundation Establishment stage and even joined the Pill Hall, establishing his own network of connections and influence.

During the one or two decades in the simulation, Zhou Qing naturally gathered information about the Mountain and Sea Sect.

Zhou Qing already knew a great deal about the sect leader of the Mountain and Sea Sect and the Blood Sea True Man.

The sect leader of the Mountain and Sea Sect and the Blood Sea True Man, when they were young, accidentally entered the ruins of the ancient Mountain and Sea lineage and obtained many inheritances of the mountain lineage.

The two share the same lineage and studied under the same master within the Shan Hai lineage's relics, thus they can be considered fellow disciples.

However, the sect leader of the Mountain and Sea Sect cultivates the orthodox Mountain and Sea lineage, while the Blood Sea True Man cultivates the rather extreme Blood Sea lineage within the Mountain and Sea lineage.

The two became Core Formation True Persons one after the other, but then they were on opposite sides because of a female cultivator. They fought each other fiercely, and finally, more than two hundred years ago, they perished along with the Mountain and Sea Sect.

"To risk one's life for a female cultivator..."

Zhou Qing was curious about the stunning beauty of the female cultivator the two True Immortals were vying for.

......

"Xuehai Zhenren's cultivation level should be below the mid-stage of Core Formation, most likely the early stage of Core Formation."

Zhou Qing's expression became slightly serious.

Zhou Qing had not been able to obtain detailed information regarding the specific cultivation level of the Blood Sea Immortal.

However, this is not difficult to deduce.

Firstly, the lifespan of a True Immortal who has reached the Core Formation stage is five hundred years.

The Blood Sea Immortal was sealed in the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm for two or three hundred years, and in the second simulation, he guided me for more than sixty years.

In addition, the other party will have several decades of lifespan left, which will be used for recovery after successfully possessing the body.

Even with the cultivation speed of a Heavenly Spiritual Root, one could achieve Foundation Establishment at forty and Core Formation at ninety...

The time left for True Immortal Xuehai to cultivate in the Core Formation stage will not exceed fifty years.

Fifty years... Even for cultivators with Heavenly Spiritual Roots, it would be difficult to reach the mid-stage of Core Formation.

The influence of spiritual root aptitude on cultivation decreases after reaching the Core Formation stage.

They place greater emphasis on their own comprehensive foundation.

......

[You've reached the third level of Foundation Establishment. With a slight thought, you take out dozens of talismans from your storage bag.]

These dozens of talismans are all sealing talismans, among which the two of the highest grade are actually third-tier low-grade.

For the past ten years or so, you have frequently attended auctions, acquiring sealed talismans under various guises.

These dozens of sealing tokens are the fruits of your acquisition.

[You acquired so many sealing talismans, naturally to deal with Blood Sea True Man]

The purpose of a sealing talisman is to seal away items, whether they are alive or dead.

A third-tier sealing talisman can theoretically seal and suppress the golden core of a Core Formation cultivator.

[The Blood Sea Immortal's physical body and golden core have been destroyed, leaving only a wisp of his soul. In addition, there is the remaining sealing power of the Mountain and Sea Ring. With so many sealing talismans you have prepared, it can be said that everything is foolproof.]

Even though Blood Sea True Man's strength exceeded expectations, reaching the mid-stage of Core Formation, he couldn't cause much trouble facing so many sealing talismans while only a wisp of his soul remained.

[Furthermore, you are currently in the shadows, and Master Xuehai has no idea of ​​your existence. Faced with a sneak attack and suppression at a crucial moment, you are even less likely to be able to put up any resistance.]

"Hope everything goes well."

You thought to yourself, "So far, you've done everything to the best of your ability."

If any unexpected variables arise, we'll just do another simulation next time.

[You have unlimited simulation opportunities, which is equivalent to being able to start over repeatedly. The real Blood Sea has no chance of escape.]

[Put away all the sealing talismans, and take out the drop of essence blood left behind by Da Chun once more.]

"Da Chun... is he still alive?"

[You used your life essence to cast a spell and learned that Da Chun is still alive.]

[Over the past few years, you have periodically used your essence blood to determine Da Chun's life or death, and then made some speculations about You Shan.]

[Da Chun has been trapped in Youshan for several years and is still alive, which makes you even more certain that there is a great secret and a great opportunity within Youshan.]

......

Six months later, the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm will soon open, and you set off for Wushan Market.

[Your reason for going to Wushan Market cannot be explicitly stated as knowing that the secret realm is about to open; instead, you can use the excuse of personally inspecting the Chamber of Commerce's operations.]

It's perfectly normal for the Qingyuan Chamber of Commerce you established to travel between Biyue Immortal City and Wushan Market year after year to personally oversee the Chamber's operations and avoid being deceived.

Upon arriving at Wushan Market, You Rou and other members of the Chamber of Commerce management team nervously reported on the details of the Chamber's operations.

As you listen, you can sense that the spiritual energy of the entire market is subtly drawing towards the center.

This pull is extremely subtle; even ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators might not be able to detect it.

"How's the Dongfu Inn in the market lately?"

You glanced at You Rou and asked.

"A few days ago, the Ouyang family announced that they needed to adjust the market formation, so the cave inns would not be rented out for the time being..."

[You Rou immediately said]

【"I see."】

You looked thoughtful.

Based on the information You Rou provided, you deduce that Ouyang Shen, the Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Ouyang family, is currently attempting to break through a bottleneck and advance to a higher realm.

This can be seen from the closure of all the inns and cave dwellings in the entire market, and the shift in spiritual energy along the spiritual veins.

[A normal Foundation Establishment cultivator wouldn't need this much spiritual energy; it's only possible when breaking through to the next level.]

[And this is not an ordinary breakthrough from a bottleneck.]

"Breaking through from the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment to the late stage?"

You thought to yourself.

Ouyang Shen, the keeper of Wushan Market, had already entered the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment decades ago.

With such a formidable battle ahead, the only option is to prepare for a breakthrough to the later stages.

"The final breakthrough likely failed."

You silently thought to yourself, if Ouyang Shen successfully advances to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, whether it's the first simulation or the second, you should hear relevant information.

[A late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator is also known as a top-tier Foundation Establishment cultivator. If Ouyang Shen were to reach this level, he would definitely make a big fuss about it.]

"No wonder the Ouyang family hasn't made any moves since the secret realm opened..."

[It dawned on you: in the previous two simulations, when the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm opened, the Ouyang family in Wushan Market, which was the closest to it, did not react at all.]

[It now appears that Ouyang Shen failed to break through to the later stages of his breakthrough and suffered a backlash. He will likely need several years to recover, so naturally he cannot attend to the opening of the secret realm.]

You ignored Ouyang Shen, who was undergoing a breakthrough, and instead waited quietly at the Qingyuan Merchant Guild's headquarters in the market.

Two months later, your expression shifted slightly as you looked towards the direction of the Mysterious Realm of Mountains and Seas.

[Do you know that the Mysterious Realm of Mountains and Seas has opened at this moment?]

The opening of the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm is the first time in the last two or three hundred years for other cultivators.

[But for you, the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm has already been opened three times.]
