Journey to the West: Life Simulation of Sun Wukong

The scholar spoke, "Gentlemen, now is not the time to fight. Why not sit down and talk it out?"

The scholar, more level-headed, separated the two tangled individuals.

A fierce-looking old man, with white flecked hair and a wrinkled face, straightened his hair, then eyed the scholar, his gaze finally resting on the fine jade on the other person's body, "This old man is called Qianli Xing, known for the Thousand Miles Rapid Travel Skill."

The scholar, unaffected by the old man's gaze, smiled slightly, "I am a student from Qianguo, called Xu Sheng. I know no martial arts."

Know no martial arts?

Qianli Xing looked skeptical.

If he truly knew no martial arts, how could he have separated the young man with Innate Divine Strength?

What a lie!

In fact, Xu Sheng truly knew no martial arts, but because his world was filled with Spiritual Energy and had about eight times the gravity of Qianli Xing's world, he was born stronger than Qianli Xing at his peak youth.

If one were to compare with the average vitality of Earth humans at 0.5, the newborns in Xu Sheng's world, even if malnourished, would have 0.4.

Being a scholar like Xu Sheng who had the luxury of education, undoubtedly born into wealth, he would have a vitality of 2 even without training in martial arts after reaching adulthood.

This was all due to the environment.

The boy around eight or nine years old, clothed in beast skins, said, "I am called Shi Dan. I was sleeping earlier and somehow ended up here; it must be your doing, old man."

Qianli Xing darkened, "I am a hero who robs the rich to help the poor! I have no interest in a poor kid like you. All you have worth anything is that beast skin, and it's only worth a single copper coin."

The three of them came from different cosmic dimensions and lived on different continents and planets. Yet, to each other, they all seemed to be from the same world.

After all, they could communicate with each other, couldn't they?

In reality, if they were to speak in their own languages, they would be incomprehensible to each other; but within the Taixu Illusory Realm, communication was essentially a communion of minds.

As long as their thoughts were logical, they could understand what each wanted to express.

This was what it meant to connect heart to heart, mirror one mind with another.

After getting to know one another, they started searching around to figure out where they were.

This place was a small island, not large, only about five li square and surrounded by the sea on all sides, with no ships in sight, making it difficult to leave.

What surprised them more was the square houses around, each about several tens of meters tall, all uninhabited...

On the open ground, there were broken artifacts shaped like giant birds, made of steel.

Qianli Xing took down the large saber from his back and struck hard, only to find his blade had become notched! His saber wasn't of great quality, but it was still made of refined iron, able to cut through iron as if it were mud. Was it possible that even a wrecked piece of scrap metal could not be cut through?

Instantly, his eyes glowed with excitement.

This steel, though rusted, clearly was much better than his large ring saber.

If he could take it back...

As Qianli Xing pondered over how to remove a piece, streaks of light suddenly fell from the sky, surrounding them, and figures as if clad only in pajamas appeared. FirstseenonMV4LEMP|YR.

The men were lean and muscular, with skin colors varying from black to yellow to white; the women too were striking, sporting either short hair or ponytails in various colors.

But one thing was certain—

"What a sight!"

Xu Sheng cursed, walking up to one of the women, berated fiercely, "How can a woman of your standing dress like this in public?"

However, no matter how much Xu Sheng cursed, the woman didn't respond but punched him instead.

Bang!

Xu Sheng flew backwards, sliding three meters across the ground before stopping.

Seeing this, Qianli Xing quickly ceased his lascivious gaze, "To be able to knock back this impressively strong scholar, this woman is no ordinary person, or rather, these people are all extraordinary."

"Why do they look so vacant?"

"Could they be puppets..."

Xu Sheng stood up, dusted off his clothes, felt the pain, but his body was unharmed, not even his clothes were damaged.

This made him a bit more serious.

"Is this a dream?"

He was somewhat uncertain now, as his clothes were ordinary and not magical artifacts. Normally, they would get dirty or damaged if he was careless, but now they remained pristine.

Only in dreams would this be possible.

But why could he feel pain?

Unharmed, yet in pain...

What was the reason for this?

How strange!

How bizarre!

"[The Ultimate Elite Competition! Beginning soon!]"

"[10 seconds remaining, please prepare, contestants!]"

Suddenly, these two lines of text appeared in mid-air.

Though the three of them didn't recognize the font, they grasped its meaning and even felt a sense of urgency as the number 10 changed to 9.

Xu Sheng quickly said, "This place is eerie, we'd better stick together."

Qianli Xing immediately agreed, "Absolutely!"

Although Shi Dan was strong, he was still young. Faced with such a strange situation, he felt a bit frightened and hurriedly ran to Xu Sheng's side.

"[8]→[7]→[6]→[···]→[3]→[2]→[1]"

→[0]

When the number turned to "0," the three of them felt a tremor in their hearts, and everything before their eyes instantly turned into an illusion as they entered a small cabin.

Apart from the three of them huddled together, the rest, serious-faced men and women, were also there, sitting side by side, staring at each other like statues, motionless.

"What place is this?" Qianli Xing swallowed hard, his hopeful gaze falling on Xu Sheng's face, hoping the scholar could explain.

The scholar's face looked somewhat distressed, "We might have encountered ghostly deceptions."

Qianli Xing shivered, "Don't scare me, are there ghosts in this world?"

Xu Sheng said, "There certainly are, my Qianguo is a cultivator's kingdom, and ghosts are common here."

Qianli Xing asked, "Speaking of which, this Qianguo, Great Qi, what nation is it exactly? I've never heard of it."

"How could you not have heard of it?" Xu Sheng looked incredulous, "Great Qi is a celestial kingdom on earth. Across the whole continent, even primitive tribes can hear of its renown!"

"Well, I've never heard of it either." Shi Dan chimed in, "People in my village haven't, only something like Great Zhou, I think."

"Great Zhou? Isn't it Great Wei?" Qianli Xing couldn't help but interject.

For a moment, the three looked at each other in confusion.

Finally, it was Xu Sheng who pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps, we come from different worlds. I've learned from ancient texts, eons ago, there were gods who could traverse other realms… Perhaps, we were brought here by some god."

"Are there really gods in this world?"

Qianli Xing trembled all over. He claimed to be a hero, but in fact, he was a bandit and a thief who robbed from the rich to aid his own poverty.

He would rob anyone wealthier than himself.

If it weren't for the young scholar's strength far exceeding his own, he would have desired to snatch the fine jade at the man's waist and even strip him of his clothes.

Shi Dan was somewhat puzzled, "Gods, like the local deities at my village temple?"

No one answered.

Just then, the people in the cabin started disappearing one by one.

No!

Not disappearing!

The floor under their seats suddenly emptied, and they dropped down!

Whooshing wind swept up from the holes beneath the seats, giving the three a chill.

There was terror in their hearts and a coldness on their skin.

They were now high up in the air, over ten thousand meters!

As the three looked at each other, other people in the cabin continued to fall and disappear, leaving just the three of them.

Just as they breathed a sigh of relief, the chairs under them vanished simultaneously, and the three dropped straight down. Even the most composed scholar was in complete panic, screaming in mid-air.

Falling from ten thousand meters, the trio was utterly panicked, but fortunately, some aspects of this critical elite illusion retained the settings of the game.

When they were just a thousand meters from the ground, parachutes automatically opened behind them.

With a sudden easing of speed, the three gradually regained their composure.

Descending slowly, the three landed at the same location, near a seashore.

At this moment, except for the collected scholar, the elder and the child had both wet themselves.

But with the sea right there, after sitting on the ground to rest for a while, they got up and went to wash themselves in the sea.

"Is this the ocean?"

Gazing at the surging waves, which seemed to breathe in and out, washing the beach, Xu Sheng suddenly felt his spirits broaden.

After the two had washed up, they tried to pack up the parachutes, only to find the parachutes slowly disappearing, vanishing like paper consumed by fire, like illusions.

"This!" Qianli Xing exclaimed.

"Perhaps this is the workings of a god," Xu Sheng speculated. "Just don't know what the god expects us to do."

Qianli Xing grimaced, "We should think about how to get back. This place is desolate and creepy."

Bang!

Just then, a gunshot exploded like thunder, the roaring sound ringing in their ears.

They turned around.

Not far from them stood a bald man, bare-chested and wearing boxer shorts, holding a strange weapon, pointing its dark barrel at them.

Bang!

The man pulled the trigger again, issuing another thunderous sound. A bullet flew through the air and struck Qianli Xing's arm on the spot!

"Ah!"

Qianli Xing cried out, feeling as if his arm was broken, enduring bone-deep pain!

"Quick!"

Xu Sheng's eyes narrowed as he quickly stepped forward and pounced on the bald man.

Shi Dan, though scared, also moved forward to hold down the bald man, and together they pounded on him.

The man fought back, but ultimately, two against one, he was knocked unconscious.

"Whew~"

Seeing that the bald man was knocked out, Xu Sheng and Shi Dan both let out a breath of relief.

"This guy, so stiff in movements— definitely a puppet... er, a wooden box?"

Xu Sheng wanted to critique more but found the man's body bizarrely transforming into a square wooden box, truly eerie!
