Another reason was that he only possessed the Qi Gathering Realm part of his family's cultivation technique, lacking the cultivation techniques for the Foundation Establishment Realm and Gold Core Realm.
When Su Han left his family, obtaining the follow-up cultivation technique was challenging. The technique was either held by his father or in the possession of the Great Elder. However, Su Han lacked the necessary opportunities to approach them to request access to the follow up cultivation technique. As the family was preoccupied dealing with the disaster, leaving little opportunity for Su Han to make his case.
Moreover, he was afraid that the Gold Core Perfected Being could appear at any moment, making him flee without cultivation technique.
And without the follow-up cultivation techniques, his cultivation path would stop at the Level 9 Qi Gathering Realm. The only way to obtain the missing cultivation methods was from the Gold Core Perfected Being who had destroyed his family. However, approaching that Gold Core Perfected Being is simply seeking death.
On the other hand, joining the Ice Lotus Sect and switching to their cultivation technique presented a chance to advance to at least the Nascent Soul realm, surpassing the limitations of his family's technique, which only allowed him to reach the Level 1 Gold Core Realm.
Given that his cultivation journey had just begun, the impact of switching to another cultivation technique wouldn't have that much impact on him so he decided to join the sect regardless.
Recalling these memories, Su Han shook his head and didn't dwell on them further. Instead, he asked excitedly, "System, what is your function?"
"The host can invite people to participate in the simulation. If they manage to survive for at least five years, you will receive their achievements as rewards. And the person who the host has invited will also receive a reward, but the reward will be between 30% to 50% of the host's reward."
"However, since the host's cultivation is low, he can only invite one person in one day."
"And to invite someone, the host must know their name, cultivation realm and the person must be within a 10 km range with the host at the center. Additionally, the host can forcefully pull a person into the simulation, but they must be on the same realm as the host."
"If the person the host wants to invite has a higher realm, host can still send an invitation, but the invited person can accept or decline it at their own will." A mechanical voice devoid of any emotion sounded in his mind.
"Oh, it's like a company where diligent employees work tirelessly, but most of the benefits go to the boss. But I like it," Su Han remarked as he stood up from the bed. "Let's first take a bath and then go out and find the lucky person to be my diligent employee," he said as he headed to the bath.
After bathing, he put on his sect's outer court disciple robe, a stylish blue and white garment adorned with a phoenix pattern. Once dressed, Su Han stepped outside the courtyard and made his way towards the restaurant in the outer court of the sect. As he walked, he pondered over whom to choose as his employee.
The sect is divided into two main sections: the Outer Court and the Inner Court. The Outer Court is for outer sect disciples, while the Inner Court is for inner court disciples, core disciples, and Direct Disciples. However, Su Han is unsure about the specific divisions of disciples within the Inner Court.
He has been a member of the sect for two years now, and during this time, he has managed to re-cultivate back to his previous cultivation level, which is the Third level low-grade Qi Gathering Realm. As a Third level low-grade Qi Gathering Cultivator, Su Han belongs to the outer court.
After 10 minutes, Su Han arrived outside the restaurant. It stood as a three-story brick building, designed in an eastern style and spacious enough to accommodate all the outer court disciples.
Despite their power, Qi Gathering realm cultivators still require food, although they could survive without food for at least a week. In contrast, Foundation Establishment realm and above cultivators no longer had the need to consume food.
Upon entering the restaurant, Su Han was met with the enticing aroma of various delicacies, which blended harmoniously with the lively chatter and the rhythmic clinking of utensils.
His arrival didn't draw any attention, unlike the clique scenes often found in other novels. Finding an available table, Su Han seated himself and ordered roasted chicken and a cup of tea, patiently awaiting his meal.
While on his way to the restaurant, Su Han had already made up his mind about whom to choose: a disciple named Wu Jin. Wu Jin, regarded as one of the talented disciples among the outer court disciples, possessing a cultivation base of Eighth level Late grade Qi Gathering Realm.
Su Han's decision was based on Wu Jin's admirable character—he was humble, aimable and lacked the arrogance often seen in other cultivators who held their heads high all day long.
As he waited for his meal, Su Han connected to the system in his mind and uttered, "System, select Wu Jin, an eighth level Qi Gathering Realm cultivator, as a candidate for simulation."
In response, the system interface suddenly materialized before him, presenting the details of his chosen candidate:
[Target: Wu Jin]
[Cultivation: Eighth level Qi Gathering Realm]
[Invite?]
Without hesitation, Su Han confirmed his choice in his mind. Just as he did, the waiter also arrived with his meal.
…
Several kilometers away, an identical courtyard to Su Han's existed. Within one of the rooms, a person with a fair complexion, long black hair, and a handsome face sat cross-legged on a bed, fully absorbed in his cultivation. Suddenly, his hazel-like eyes snapped open, revealing a mix of shock and confusion.
"Congratulations! You have been chosen to participate in the Heavenly Immortal Cultivation Simulator," a voice devoid of any emotion echoed in his mind.
Before he could react or utter a word, his vision blurred, and his body vanished from his original place. When his vision returned, Wu Jin found himself in a void, surrounded by shimmering stars, unable to move. Bewilderment and fear consumed him. Just as he began to contemplate his situation, a message in golden color appeared before him, floating in the void and also echoed in his mind.
