Journey to the West: Life Simulation of Sun Wukong

"Who would have thought, Sun, that you are the real capitalist here!"

Wang Chao exaggerated his expression as if he were meeting Sun Shisheng for the first time and soon after, a teasing look appeared on his face.

"Desires of the mortal world, if I don't collect them, they'll dissipate on their own; naturally, I should make use of them," Sun Shisheng said. "After all, various resources within the martial arts school are derived from them."

"Without pseudo-Spiritual Energy, spiritual cultivation before condensing the sacred embryo hardly makes the flesh stronger."

"Even now that you have condensed the sacred embryo and pull Spiritual Energy from other realms, it's still incredibly difficult, right?"

Wang Chao nodded. "Indeed, this place seems like a realm devoid of spirit. Once Spiritual Energy arrives from other realms, it quickly disperses. Without the Taixu Illusory Realm, we might very well 'starve' to death."

Having condensed the sacred embryo, Wang Chao was capable of drawing Spiritual Energy from other realms, but it was like a drop in the bucket, barely enough to sustain his own needs, let alone to advance further.

Of course, outside of Earth, that sun above their heads held infinite energy.

Unfortunately, they couldn't utilize it.

Sun Shisheng, on the other hand, could directly draw energy from the sun, but Wang Chao and the others couldn't yet. To extract essence from the sun and the moon, one needed further spiritual cultivation.

But spiritual advancement wasn't something that could be achieved overnight; it needed to be gradually comprehended.

Wang Chao, now in the Embryonic Breathing Realm, had reached a stage where the power of the spirit could initially interfere with reality, introducing a new measuring unit called by Sun Shisheng as 'dimensional units.'

A single dimensional unit equaled the energy of one gram of Spiritual Energy absorbed per day.

Based on Sun Shisheng's estimation, Primordial Respiration was about 20 dimensional units.

Human beings could only perfectly absorb Spiritual Energy during the Embryonic Breathing stage, although Wang Chao, Li Hansha, Tang Zichen, Chan Yinsha and others were exceptions to this limit.

The Embryonic Breathing Realm had three stages: Thought Respiration, Spirit Respiration, and Primordial Respiration.

Typically, the vitality of someone in the Embryonic Breathing Realm is above 15, with Thought Respiration ranging from 15-20, Spirit Respiration from 20-30, and Primordial Respiration from 30-50.

However, Wang Chao's physical and spiritual qualities exceeded the ordinary, and though he was presently at the Thought Respiration level, his vitality had already reached 100, and his spiritual power, 50 dimensional units.

Reaching this stage, Wang Chao could only slow down his cultivation pace, otherwise his being, like a source without roots, wouldn't just stop growing, but even sustaining his current consumption would be very difficult.

"Actually, opening the Taixu Illusory Realm also has a benefit: it allows the thoughts of myriad beings to more quickly shape the realm and increase the incubation of various heavenly treasures," Sun Shisheng slowly revealed another function of the Taixu Illusory Realm.

"In the past, the Taixu Illusory Realm passively received thoughts of the mortal world, but after it's opened, they actively release them, improving efficiency by hundreds or even thousands of times!"

Wang Chao nodded. "It's a mutually beneficial process."

Sun Shisheng smiled, "Exactly."

Wang Chao asked, "But in this process, there must be some who will try to stop us, right? After all, there are always people in the world who can't see the grand path ahead?"

Sun Shisheng pointed at the cloudless sky and slowly said, "It's simple; a punch to clear thousands of miles, thunderous measures are still necessary."

Wang Chao nodded; he quite agreed with this.

If it weren't for such thunderous measures, they couldn't have had such a peaceful four years.

In the past four years, many people seeking trouble at the martial arts school were precisely after its secret techniques; during their absence, countless were beaten to cripples.

Sun Shisheng was aware of this, but he didn't stop it.

This was the use of thunderous measures.

"Wang Chao, you're indeed here!"

Suddenly, the door behind the balcony swung open, and a female student dressed in a white dress and wearing a sun hat emerged, her skin smooth as jade.

Her refined appearance was not because of successful spirit cultivation impacting her physique, nor was it due to practicing a certain martial art; it was simply due to her good maintenance.

Dressed in white, with a definite sun hat, although simple, they were all designer brands, adding up to more than thirty thousand yuan in total.

Clearly a wealthy young woman.

"Wang Chao, you're quite popular. Is she a junior from your school?" Sun Shisheng's expression shifted playfully as he teased, "Have you forgotten Tang Zichen and Chan Yinsha at the martial arts school? What a real Don Juan you are."

Wang Chao, speechless, replied, "Please, she's just a freshman who just started this year, it's not as complicated as you think, just a member of the same club. And I admit, I do have some feelings for Sister Chen, but why include Chan Yinsha, that tomboy?"

His relationship with Chan Yinsha was neither bad nor particularly good, more like a brother-sister type of friendship.

It was that kind of amiable yet mutually troubling relationship between siblings.

This type of relationship is affectionately referred to by people online today as 'true brother and sister' or 'true siblings,' which could also be seen as a sign of a close relationship.

"Alright, no more jokes," Sun Shisheng said.

He looked at the excited girl who was staring at him and asked, "What are you looking at me like that for, junior?"

"No... I..." The junior was somewhat incoherent, took a few deep breaths to calm her emotions, came forward, pulled out a wicker chair, sat down, and said in a low voice, "You're the superhero, Sun Shisheng!" Note from the editor: Always check MV2LEMPYR for corrections.

"It's me."

Sun Shisheng nodded. "Are you my fan?"

"No! I mean, I'm your fangirl!" The junior's smile blossomed, and her excitement returned as she stretched out her hand and shook hands with Sun Shisheng, saying, "Is this too straightforward? But you are a legend!"

"The medicine that cures cancer!"

"Artificial Intelligence, AI!"

"It can truly be said that one college year, the same achievement!"

"Just today, you proposed the concepts of vitality and spiritual cultivation, especially demonstrating your own strength; you were practically no different from the mythical immortals in the legends."

Sun Shisheng smiled.

For him, these were only the tip of the iceberg; more of it remained at the Ming Lun Martial Hall, not having been shown at school yet.

This university, to him, was merely a place to experience campus life.

"By the way, I haven't asked yet; what is your respected surname, junior sister?"

"My surname is Xu, with the single name Ying," Xu Ying introduced herself, then looked towards Wang Chao, "Senior Brother Wang Chao, were you discussing something just now?"

Wang Chao waved his hand indifferently, "Nothing much, just talking about plans after graduation, as I am, after all, the Deputy Head of Ming Lun Martial Hall."

"You are the Deputy Head!"

Xu Ying was astonished!

Being a child of a wealthy family, she naturally had heard about Ming Lun Martial Hall but had never had the opportunity to visit Jiangnan City since she lived in the metropolis.

It was incredible; the Wang Chao who had punched and shattered the fighting platform in that newspaper article was the same as the Senior Brother Wang Chao before her now.

It was unbelievable.

However, the person before her appeared much more mature than he did in the newspaper photo.

"Cough cough, don't speak so loudly; I have always kept my identity a secret," Wang Chao whispered.

"I know," Xu Ying blinked, her eyes gleaming with a touch of mischief and curiosity, "So, are you as powerful as Senior Brother Sun Shisheng?"

Wang Chao coughed and said, "Compared to Brother Sun, I still have a ways to go... By the way, did you come to find me for something? There aren't any club activities right now, are there?"

"It's like this..."

Xu Ying briefly explained her reason for coming, hoping to bring her boyfriend into the club so that she and her boyfriend could spend more time together.

"My boyfriend also practices martial arts, though probably not as skilled as you guys, quite a bit less."

"Maybe the president could give him some guidance then?"

Facing Xu Ying's expectation, Wang Chao slowly nodded, "If he truly has skill, I wouldn't be stingy; but if it's just for show, then I can only apologize."

"He definitely has it; back in high school, he could take on ten at a time," Xu Ying asserted decisively.

"Then we'll see when he joins the club," Wang Chao nodded slightly.

"Thank you; my boyfriend likes practicing martial arts... I'll treat you guys to a meal later," Xu Ying left joyfully, no longer interrupting Wang Chao and Sun Shisheng's discussion.

Once the footsteps had faded, Wang Chao spoke, "Brother Sun, are you quite fond of Xu Ying or is it her boyfriend?"

He understood Brother Sun's temperament.

Although easygoing, humorous, kind, and able to talk to anyone, he wasn't usually so enthusiastic towards ordinary people.

This Xu Ying, or perhaps her boyfriend, had something special about them.

He had also slightly learned to observe aura and could see that Xu Ying's future held either great wealth or high status, so her boyfriend must also have a big future ahead.

As the saying goes, the times create heroes.

In these times, filled with abundant opportunities, it was just a matter of someone seizing them. Moreover, the concepts of vitality and spiritual cultivation that Brother Sun proposed were adding fuel to the fire, creating even more opportunities.

It could happen that Xu Ying, or Xu Ying's boyfriend, might rise unexpectedly, transforming from a snake into a dragon, stirring up the winds and clouds.

Who knew Sun Shisheng shook his head, saying, "It is neither Xu Ying nor her boyfriend, but their future child."

Wang Chao wasn't surprised; since even he could deduce the future paths, it was not unusual for Brother Sun to see even further into the future.

"What is the name of their future child?" Wang Chao asked, "Are they related to us?"

"Four years ago, didn't I mention that there was another Spiritual Treasure Celestial Master named 'Catastrophe'?" Sun Shisheng flicked his sleeve, and tea quietly appeared on the table.

He picked up a cup, took a sip, and then said, "Now it can be revealed what his surname is."

Wang Chao's eyes sharpened: "Su."

By now, he somewhat believed in the Taoist trinity idea.

Of course, not that he believed he was the Primeval Lord of Heaven, but rather that the aura of the three might somehow resonate with the celestial trinity in the universe.

But—

"Damn!"

"So this means that Spiritual Treasure is a generation younger than me and Li Hansha?"

Sun Shisheng quietly drank his tea, glanced at Wang Chao, put down his cup and said, "What generations… you three are all of the same generation, just speak of each on their own merits."

Wang Chao: "······"
