Journey to the West: Life Simulation of Sun Wukong

"Cao, could you give me some guidance?"

Su Jie's eyes sparkled as he made his request to Cao Yi.

Things like the Taixu Nine Seals were too far beyond his reach for now, so he needed to first familiarize himself with the Eight Extremes Thunder Fist—that was his current priority.

As he watched Su Jie's eager expression, Cao Yi suddenly paused, as if he saw someone else's figure in him, sharing a passion for martial arts and a penchant for challenging others.

However, Cao Yi could feel a distinction between them, thanks to his stable mind cultivation.

The youth before him was purer.

An illusion?

Casting aside his distracting thoughts, Cao Yi smiled and said, "Of course, young man."

Cao Yi took a step forward, his aura transforming as if he were an immovable ancient mountain, rooted deeply in the earth, majestic and vast.

Su Jie stepped backward in fright.

"What's the matter, young man? Afraid to make a move?" Cao Yi asked with a slight smile, which in Su Jie's eyes, seemed to mock his timidity.

Nevertheless, Su Jie didn't react impulsively; instead, he took several deep breaths to calm himself down and thought, 'He's trying to provoke me, I mustn't fall for it.'

Seeing that Su Jie didn't attack immediately, Cao Yi secretly nodded in approval and praised, "Just now, I used a bit of a hypnotic technique. If you were an ordinary person, you'd have been helpless against it, but you're different, you woke up immediately. It seems your mind is very active and sensitive."

"A person like you is generally very intelligent, but in this era where spiritual cultivation is prevalent, you must struggle greatly with deep sleep."

"Your overly active mind gives you a sharp intellect, but it also makes it difficult for you to fall asleep."

Su Jie took a deep breath and in the moment he slowly exhaled, he stepped eight paces. Each step was an inch off the ground, no more, no less.

This was the Thundering Steps of the Eight Extremes Thunder Fist!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

BOOM! BOOM!

With each step sounding like thunder, the power from his legs transferred from his toes to his waist, then to his shoulders, and finally, his right arm trembled like a dragon, as if thunder itself was resounding.

Eight Extremes! Thunder Burst!

A punch thundered forth, unstoppable, like a roaring thunder snake.

CRACK!

However, facing this bold move, Cao Yi merely lifted his hand to block and caught it firmly, while it was Su Jie's own footing that cracked the blue tiles beneath him.

"Huff—"

After releasing his breath, Su Jie gathered his energy and said, "Cao, you're right, I do have difficulty entering deep sleep, but I don't see it as an issue."

Cao Yi also retracted his hand and sighed, "Indeed, though deep sleep is the best, safest, and simplest way to enhance vitality for most people."

"You, however, are more suited to pursue a path that breaks through the void and achieves an indestructible spirit."

"Moreover, you're quite gifted, your vitality has probably reached 1, likely between 1.01 and 1.02."

"And nowadays with the Tai Chi rice, not only is it nutritious, it is also rich in energy—had it been seventeen years earlier, achieving a vitality of 0.7 with your kind of training would have been good."

Su Jie too was amazed.

Seventeen years ago, the average vitality was around 0.5, now it's 0.7, and for the older generation, these changes within just seventeen years were unimaginable.

Minglun truly changed many people's fate.

Cao Yi suddenly asked, "Su Jie, are you interested in joining the military?"

"Join the military?"

After thinking a bit, Su Jie shook his head and said, "It's often said: regret joining the military for two years, not joining for a lifetime. But comparatively, I'd rather join Minglun Martial School."

"After graduation, I'll have more options, and if possible, I'd also like to check out the inner academy of Minglun, said to be situated in the Taixu Illusory Realm."

Cao Yi smiled, giving a thumbs up, "Good, ambitious!"

"Cao, if there's nothing else, I'll head back to rest now, after all, it's getting late," Su Jie found an excuse, preparing to leave.

Being with Cao Yi made him somewhat uncomfortable, as the man's vitality was far greater than his.

"Hmm, early to bed, early to rise."

Cao Yi watched Su Jie leave, as if witnessing a martial artist with boundless potential, and sighed, "Youth produces heroes."

"Dad!"

A gentle voice suddenly rang beside his ear.

"Whoa!"

Cao Yi startled and turned around to look, his gaze filled with a hint of complaint, "Jingjing, there's no need for such frights, right? I am your father after all. Couldn't you appear in a more normal way? Not a sound of footsteps."

The newcomer, dressed in a tight suit and casually tied ponytail under the park's dim light, still displayed her stunningly beautiful features—her fair complexion and bright eyes drawing admiration.

"I have made progress in my Taixu Wind Seal practice. As natural as the wind, whether I walk or sit, I make no sound," Cao Jing folded her arms and said, "Plus, Dad, you're at the Stable Realm, you're not that fragile."

Cough cough!

Cao Yi changed the subject, "I just met a young man with great potential, I just didn't notice your approach."

"A young man?"

Cao Jingjing curiously asked, "What kind of youth would make you, Father, halt in your tracks?"

Cao Yi said, "He calls himself Su Jie, and I saw Wang Chao's shadow in him."

Cao Jingjing pouted, "Dad, you must have seen it wrong."

That youth named Su Jie, could he match up to Vice Principal Wang Chao?

Although she had never personally seen Su Jie, Cao Jingjing was certain, this was absolutely the funniest joke she had heard this month!

Without a doubt!

"Saw it wrong? Perhaps," Cao Yi said indifferently, but his attitude made Cao Jingjing a bit more serious.

After all, she knew her father well, he wouldn't show such an expression for just anyone.

"Really comparable to Wang Chao?" Cao Jingjing asked.

"Do you believe it now?" Thank you for reading. This was brought to you by M|V|L*EMPYR.

Cao Yi chuckled and then sighed, "At least, his passion for martial arts was exactly the same as Wang Chao when I first met him."

"I wanted him to join the military school, but unfortunately, he has his own aspirations."

Cao Jingjing said, "In that case, Dad, you don't have to bother too much with Su Jie. Can you tell me about the cooperation between the martial school and the military?"

This afternoon, such a large group came along with armored vehicles and tanks, entering the Taixu Illusory Realm, which was certainly unusual.

Although Minglun Martial School would surely announce it to the teachers and instructors, she still wanted to know in advance.

After all, she was Cao Yi's daughter, wasn't she?

"The principal found a planet suitable for human development that can be reached through the Taixu Illusory Realm and wants us to develop it together," Cao Yi stated succinctly.

A light flashed in Cao Jingjing's eyes.

Had the principal finally found a world suitable for human development?

Within the Taixu Illusory Realm, many alternate dimensions in the universe had been connected, nearly five thousand, but these worlds were not suitable for large-scale human development.

Take, for example, the Fire Dimension, which had various mystical flames. However, aside from the principal and a few others who could extract them, no one else could utilize them.

Or the Energy Universe, which indeed had ample energy supplies and strange energy creatures.

Yet, only a few like the principal could extract energy from it.

Or, perhaps, an alternate dimension universe with intelligent life forms. The beings there were powerful, and while the principal and his peers were no less formidable, their philosophy was not to exterminate all non-human intelligent creatures but to seek coexistence, co-prosperity, and mutual advancement for all beings.

In Cao Jingjing's previous perspective, this dream was overly idealistic and grand. After all, even among humans on Earth, even within the same kingdom, they would bicker due to various factors.

All beings!

Indeed, the goal was tremendously grand.

However, it was precisely such grand goals that could achieve extraordinary accomplishments.

"Is that so?" Cao Jingjing mused, "What is the name of that planet?"

Cao Yi rolled his eyes, "That planet hasn't been named yet; how could your old dad possibly know its name? However, Sun Shisheng's idea is that since there are native intelligent life forms there, the naming rights should be given to them—respect is always mutual. All we could assign for now is a code name."

Cao Jingjing understood. Hegemony, dominance, was not advisable.

Thus, Minglun ought to lead by example.

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.

The students and trainees within the academy area were surprised to find quite a few regular soldiers training on the playground, but unexpectedly, their numbers were much fewer than those who had initially entered.

Many trainees guessed that most of the military had entered the Taixu Illusory Realm for secret training.

Su Jie didn't care too much about this; he was diligently cultivating every day, striving to enhance his vitality even further just so that in the upcoming academic year, he could truly enroll in Minglun Martial School.

He was not content to be just a summer and winter vacation training class student!

"Su Jie, I heard that the Taixu Illusory Realm has opened up a real world where players can go and experience it," Jos said excitedly, "It's a real alien planet!"

Su Jie was also surprised. Then, with a calm face, he said, "Even if it's a real alien planet, it has nothing to do with us right now. There must be strict requirements to participate in the game, right?"

"None," Jos shook his head.

"What?" Su Jie was taken aback, "Do you mean 'none' as in the none I'm thinking of?"

"Yes.

Jos nodded vigorously, "The only requirement to enter is to have a legal identity, without committing crimes."

Su Jie frowned, "In that case, doesn't that mean any normal person could enter?"

Jos nodded even more vigorously, "Yes, but I heard there are rules upon entering such real worlds, and once violated, you will be kicked out completely and never be able to enter that real world through the Taixu Illusory Realm again."

"It seems entering a truly different world is very strict... By the way, do you enter with a body evolved by the spirit?" Su Jie suddenly thought of a question, "A body evolved from the Taixu Illusory Realm can't exist in the real world, right?"

Jos scratched his head, "It seems to be related to spiritual energy..."
