Journey to the West: Life Simulation of Sun Wukong

"Stop joking around."

Tang Zichen smiled at Wang Chao's compliment, "Spiritual cultivation is crucial for the growth of the physical body. I've noticed that once my spiritual realm entered Great Meditation, my body also had a period of explosive growth."

"However, this period required a massive amount of energy, and I'm very thankful for Sun Shisheng's Spiritual Qi Elixirs. Otherwise, my cells would have consumed their own life force."

"It's hard to cook without rice, that's the truth of it," Sun Shisheng laughed.

"Your physical condition now is such that you could withstand a large-caliber sniper rifle bullet without injury."

"What about me?" asked Wang Chao, "Can I withstand an atomic bomb now?"

"Even though you've learned my breathing techniques and visualization diagrams and your physical condition far surpasses others at the same level, you can only withstand a hand grenade at most; you're still far from withstanding an atomic bomb," Sun Shisheng couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Heh, that's not bad either," Wang Chao was quite excited, and he believed that if he continued to cultivate, withstanding an atomic bomb in the future—or even bathing on the sun—was not a dream.

The only issue right now was that he needed to obtain the Spiritual Qi Elixirs from Sun.

His monthly salary of one million was basically all converted into Spiritual Qi Elixirs.

This stuff was the best supplement for cultivation!

Ginseng, deer antler, Lingzhi—all paled in comparison.

At that moment, Chan Yinsha walked over, hands on her hips, looking at the four who were slowly practicing Tai Chi, "Sun, the Tai Chi you teach really has a charm to it. Stillness and motion, though it lacks killing power, it's extremely effective in nurturing health and can even enhance one's physical stamina to a certain extent."

Sun Zhiming, Sun, and Wang Chao's parents performed Tai Chi even though it was slow, but it was as smooth as flowing water, like a roving dragon, able to appear and disappear, to be large and small.

Combined with their long sighing and short gasping style of breathing, it seemed as if they could embrace the whole world.

Just this Tai Chi practice method alone, if taken outside, would be sought after by countless people.

In fact, in the past two months, there had been martial artists from other places who indeed wanted to steal it, but somehow, those who harbored such thoughts met with misfortunes—the most unfortunate among them was struck by a bolt of lightning on a clear day and turned into charcoal.

It was as if these four were people of great fortune; anyone who dared disrespect them would meet with misfortune.

Sun Shisheng had explained to Wang Chao and Chan Yinsha that it involved communicating with the magnetic field of the earth and the cosmic energy field using the spirit, controlling the heavens and the earth, and using the body to suppress and utilize these forces.

Wang Chao and the others understood the theory, but reaching this level was extremely difficult.

If they randomly connected with the earth's magnetic field, they would probably be refined by it and dissipate.

This world is like a gigantic Alchemy Furnace.

To achieve the Golden Core, the spirit must be incomparably clear; otherwise, it is very easy to miscontrol the energies of the world, leading to being refined away completely.

To put it nicely, it's ascending as a rainbow or a feathered immortal.

To put it harshly, it's losing control of the "fire" and being incinerated.

"It's not really a secret technique. It needs sufficient food supplementation to be effective; otherwise, it's just fancy moves without substance," Sun Shisheng said indifferently to Chan Yinsha's praises and continued, "Let's go, since you all have made some progress in spiritual cultivation, I'll teach you a martial technique that uses the spirit to control power."

"To the training ground?" Wang Chao asked.

"To an uninhabited place."

No sooner had Sun Shisheng finished speaking than everyone felt a blur before their eyes, and they left the martial arts hall and arrived in a desolate desert.

The sun was blazing, and sand filled the sky.

The air was dry, making Chan Yinsha, Wang Chao, and Tang Zichen all instinctively swallow their saliva.

"This place doesn't seem to be any known desert on Earth?" Tang Zichen, being a mafia boss and a grandmaster of the national arts, naturally had travelled across the globe.

She had been to all sorts of deserts, big and small.

But this place, she had no recollection of it.

What's more, since arriving here, she felt her whole body was relaxed as if there was an ample amount of energy being absorbed into her body.

Spiritual Energy!!!

Not only Tang Zichen, but Wang Chao and Chan Yinsha also sensed it.

All three entered a state of deep meditation, and after three quarters of an hour, they all opened their eyes, filled with disbelief.

"This place is actually filled with Spiritual Energy!" Chan Yinsha exclaimed.

"No, it's a bit different; there's a slight difference," Wang Chao carefully felt and expressed his opinion, "It's a bit inferior to Spiritual Energy but much more than the energy found in ordinary food."

"Indeed."

Tang Zichen affirmed Wang Chao's statement, her eyes like black gemstones resting on Sun Shisheng, "Can you explain where this place is?"

"Taixu Illusory Realm," Sun Shisheng replied.

"Hmm~" Wang Chao elongated his tone, curiously asking, "The one from 'Dream of the Red Chamber'?"

"No, a fictional world I created," Sun Shisheng said calmly. "By letting the spirit wander freely, one can create their own internal world, which can be infinite in number."

Only now did Chan Yinsha realize the true magnitude of power, looking incredulously at Sun Shisheng, "Sun, are you a god?"

"No, still human." Sun Shisheng shook his head. "Whether a fairy, a Buddha, or a deity, all are human, or rather, can be classified into one large category of intelligent beings."

"The differences may just be in one's own strength, lifespan, and conceptual realm," he added.

"That's all there is to it."

Chan Yinsha suddenly grasped this concept, but realized she still had much to cultivate to approach the realm of Sun Shisheng.

"Next, I will demonstrate the martial technique I want to teach you, Three Lives Three Teachings Fist."

As he spoke, Sun Shisheng threw a punch, sending out a torrent of energy that seemed to stir up tumultuous waves, instantly blowing away the entire desert.

Just witnessing the performance left the three utterly speechless!

However, their attention wasn't on the desert that had now vanished without a trace, but on Sun Shisheng, who had thrown the punch.

At that moment, Sun Shisheng no longer resembled a human!

In Tang Zichen's eyes, Sun Shisheng seemed like a scholar wearing a Confucian robe, his head topped with three flowers, devoid of sorrow and desire, surrounded by countless stars that moved in magnificent, lingering waves.

In Wang Chao's view, however, Sun Shisheng appeared in a completely different scenario.

Seated on a lotus pedestal with a halo of golden light behind his head, surrounded by auspicious clouds, neither fully a Buddha nor a Taoist, yet truly a monk.

Beneath him were countless great worlds and divine beings, some reciting Taoist texts, others practicing Zen.

In Chan Yinsha's eyes, there was only a person who had thrown a punch, creating a vast universe.

That scene was firmly engraved in her heart.

As he withdrew his fist, Sun Shisheng turned around, and the vanishing desert behind him restored itself automatically.

In the Taixu Illusory Realm, everything was born from him.

"Did you remember it?"

"We remembered." x3

The three spoke simultaneously, each retaining the spiritual imprint they had witnessed.

Tang Zichen saw both Taoism and Confucianism, while Wang Chao perceived both Buddhism and Taoism.

Chan Yinsha, in her simplicity, remembered the most plain and straightforward punch, which possessed the "Punch That Shatters Primordial Chaos" aura, evolving it into the Fist of the Spirit, constantly visualizing it.

"Well then, let's give it a try," Sun Shisheng said with a smile.

"Indeed."

Tang Zichen took the lead, harnessing power with her spirit, deploying the Three Lives Three Teachings Fist combined with her own martial arts' True Meaning of Dragon and Snake, forming a tornado of dust that resembled a great dragon connecting heaven and earth.

Bang!

The tornado dispersed, and Tang Zichen fell to the ground, breathing heavily, saying, "It consumes a lot, it's not a technique I can control at this period, and this martial art isn't just about boxing, once it reaches Great Achievement, thousands of martial techniques can also be performed effortlessly."

Sun Shisheng smiled and said, "What I provided you with is only the method of spiritual training. The style depends on how your individual martial arts develop."

The Three Lives Three Teachings Fist, though just one punch, encompasses thousands of principles in the world.

Yet, for the three of them, it was merely a foundation; to build a house, they could only construct it using their own martial skills and spiritual experiences.

Following Tang Zichen, it was Wang Chao's turn to test his punch.

Although he had learned Tang Zichen's skills in the past two months, what impacted him most deeply was the pill song Sun Shisheng initially taught him, and in his free time, he also often read Buddhist and Taoist scriptures.

Thus, his understanding of Zen and Taoism was more profound.

He threw a punch, as if grasping two great mountains in his hands, smashing them towards others.

One was Mount Emei, and the other, Mount Sumeru.

On Mount Emei, Taoists chanted scriptures, their ethereal chants floating through the air; on Mount Sumeru, monks practiced Zen, their presence vast and majestic.

With one punch, the sand within a thousand meters sank three meters deep.

"Not bad," Sun Shisheng calmly nodded.

"Such a powerful fist technique, probably something I can use for a lifetime," Wang Chao's face was a bit pale, but he wore a joyful smile, and immediately fell into a deep sleep, his body continuing to absorb the faux Spiritual Energy in this Taixu Illusory Realm, recovering his strength.

Chan Yinsha went last.

Initially trained in Muay Thai, she conceded her dojo after being defeated by Wang Chao, then under Tang Zichen's guidance, she gradually learned various philosophies.

However, the deepest impact on her was still Muay Thai.

That is, power!

Therefore, what she saw was unparalleled strength; with one punch, she shattered Primordial Chaos and forged a vast universe.

Since her strength was the weakest among the three, her punch only stirred up colossal waves in the air, a hundred-meter torrent, yet she used this momentum to concentrate her energy into one point.

The initial shattering of Primordial Chaos, breaking the stubborn void, her skill in energy surged to another level, stepping into the realm of Golden Core Strength.

After the punch, Chan Yinsha also felt somewhat weak, but unlike Wang Chao and Tang Zichen, her depletion wasn't as severe, and she didn't need to enter deep sleep for recovery.

Feeling her Qi-Blood, Chan Yinsha was exceptionally delighted.

Golden Core Strength had been achieved!

With several Secret Techniques, advancing to the level of Rigid Strength in the future would be effortless.

As for breaking the void and seeing the Indestructible Divine, this was related to her own boxing practice, and Chan Yinsha was not particularly anxious about it.

"Their punches consumed so much?"

After recovering her strength, Chan Yinsha saw Wang Chao and Tang Zichen still in a deep sleep, and was surprised, but she also realized that she was quite far behind them.

Sun Shisheng said, "Don't belittle yourself. You've grasped one of the paths of power from the Three Lives Three Teachings Fist, your foundation is no weaker than theirs; it's just that you have less accumulation."

"So that's how it is."

Chan Yinsha clenched her fist secretly, "It seems I should also read various books in the future, not just focus on training martial arts."
