Journey to the West: Life Simulation of Sun Wukong

The competition venue, the further down it went, the fewer competitors there were, but the more spectators there were.

This was because, the higher the life force, the more grand the battle scenes, and the more colorful the "special effects" were—the better to attract the eyes of the audience.

"Why are there fewer participants with higher life forces?" Su Jie curiously asked.

"First of all," Bai Jie raised one jade finger, then another, "People with a life force above 2 are quite rare globally. Secondly, the higher the life force, the greater the destructive power. During a fight, one must hold back, otherwise it is very easy to damage the arena or even the floor."

"Ming Lun could make it more sturdy here, but they have not—partly to make the competitors better control their own power."

"Lifting as though it's light is the mark of a true master."

After thinking for a moment, Su Jie inquired, "When a lion fights a rabbit, it must use all its strength..."

Bai Jie scoffed, "A lion is a beast. Every hunt requires its full strength because if it does not use all its strength, it won't catch its prey and will starve."

"But people are different."

"In this era, with the widespread cultivation of Tai Chi rice, no one starves to death. Instead, people just might not be able to digest all the nutrients."

While saying this, Bai Jie bought two drinks from a nearby vending machine and handed one to Su Jie, saying, "And the last reason is that the worlds within the Taixu Illusory Realm are very realistic."

"Those realms created based on movies and novels are terrifyingly realistic in their characters."

"Even though they lack real souls, the character settings are very realistic and possess their own set of thinking logic. Beings with higher life forces enjoy measuring themselves against the masters in those realms."

Su Jie did not continue with the topic.

The realms within the Taixu Illusory Realm were indeed very realistic, but to him, they were still too illusory.

Well, it wasn't exactly illusory, the main issue was that he didn't yet possess the necessary cultivation. Recklessly entering those realms created from private novels meant confronting beings too strong for him to reach, whereas ordinary people weren't worth troubling with compared to visiting the Primordial Star—a world that actually exists and not some illusory realm.

He took a sip of his drink and exclaimed, "This drink is delicious. I feel like it's quickly restoring the strength I had drained. What is it?"

Bai Jie took a sip and explained, "It's a recovery drink researched by Ming Lun. The main ingredients are Tai Chi rice and Moon Spirit Essence. This is just a simplified version; I've heard the internal version already includes Sun Flower Essence."

Moon Spirit Essence, Sun Flower Essence.

Su Jie had often seen them advertised, but he had never been able to afford them before. Now, though, he could afford them. However, the mysterious breathing technique could assist him in absorbing Spiritual Energy in the Primordial World, obviating the need to buy these products.

After chatting casually with Bai Jie for a while, Su Jie bid farewell and left the Bird's Nest.

Looking up, he gazed at the night view beyond the artificial lake. The lights were bright, splendid as stars, dazzlingly complementing the densely scattered stars above.

"Where should I stay tonight?"

Su Jie contemplated the problem of lodging and finally found a nearby hotel...

Jiang Corporation.

Chen Aiyang raised the issue of Jiang Wuxing attending school with Jiang Mingxin, but was interrupted, "How can my son waste time at a school?"

He was very proud and hoped to shape Jiang Wuxing into another Jiang Wudao.

But it seemed, contrary to his desires.

Yet, he did not believe it was his fault...so, the one at fault could only be Su Jie!

"As long as my son can increase his life force and defeat Su Jie once, that unbeatable heart can be forged anew, even stronger!"

Chen Aiyang shook his head, saying, "A false undefeated, nothing but a mirage. If your son truly wants to be unbeaten, then he must face him in the future."

Him!!!

Jiang Mingxin's breath hitched; he knew who Chen Aiyang meant—the principal of Minglun.

He wanted to say his son had that ability, that future!

But he couldn't speak.

He knew his son could never surpass him!

Not only him, but also the vice principals around him, Jiang Wuxing could never reach them either; it was an insurmountable chasm.

"You're misconstruing!" Jiang Mingxin's face twisted slightly, "It's clearly your incompetence at teaching my son that has led to this situation."

Chen Aiyang's expression darkened, he snorted coldly, "If you think I can't teach your son, then I shall leave."

With that, Chen Aiyang left the office without looking back.

At the door, Jiang Wudao arrived, greeted Chen Aiyang, who merely nodded without stopping, brushing past him.

Sensing trouble, Jiang Wudao instantly knew something had happened but didn't call out to Chen Aiyang; he only looked towards Jiang Mingxin inside the office and asked, "Uncle, did you anger Chen Aiyang?"

Jiang Mingxin closed his eyes, took several deep breaths to calm down, and said, "I was impulsive just now. Wudao, talk to Chen Aiyang, ask him not to leave Jiang Corporation."

Jiang Wudao's expression changed, he quickly asked for details, clenched his fist but eventually let go, saying, "Uncle, I think my cousin really should spend some time in a regular school."

"Wudao, how can you say that?!" Jiang Mingxin had not yet realized the severity of the situation, a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.

"Humph!"

Jiang Wudao snorted coldly, "People of the Stable Realm have their own pride, do you think a mere apology would suffice? You're lucky he didn't kill you with one punch, you should be thankful for the progress of this era."

"Another thing—"

"Jiang Wuxing isn't me. He can't walk my path!"

What was the difference between him, Jiang Wuxing, and Jiang Wudao?

It was the era!

Jiang Wudao had witnessed the rise of the Minglun Martial School, indeed growing through his own fists and feet; whereas Jiang Wuxing was born at a time when Minglun Martial School had already been established and the Jiang Corporation had transformed from a small gaming company into a large multi-faceted enterprise.

He stepped up, relying on his own strength, whereas Jiang Wuxing had Jiang Mingxin, his father, to create opportunities—how could they be the same?

False strength, like a diamond, although shiny and hard, cannot withstand a single hammer blow.

Without sedimentation, it's ultimately just a reflection in the water, scattering at the slightest touch.

"How do you speak to your uncle like that?!" Jiang Mingxin's tempered anger suddenly flared, his eyes filled with rage.

"It is you, Uncle, who are heading down the wrong path. I am merely reminding you,"

Jiang Wudao coldly said, "Suppress that anger in your heart. If you do something foolish that damages the reputation of Jiang Corporation, it won't matter if you are locked up, but don't drag down the entire Jiang Corporation."

Having said this, Jiang Wuxing didn't bother with the furious Jiang Mingxin anymore, stepped out of the office, and went to inform Jiang Batian about the situation.

"Mingxin, that boy is getting more and more reckless, even offending Chen Aiyang," Jiang Batian cursed, and looked towards Jiang Wudao, "What should we do now?"

Jiang Wudao replied, "Chen Aiyang is not coming back, but we still need to apologize and make amends. We cannot afford to offend the entire Chen Family. From now on, we will simply reduce our dealings with them; it doesn't matter."

Jiang Batian nodded in satisfaction, feeling that Jiang Wudao already possessed the aura of a king.

In the future, the Jiang Family would surely become the most powerful force under Minglun!

However, before that, the family must also spread its branches—

"Wudao, should we use some tricks to make Su Chen agree?"

Jiang Batian had already missed the phase of cultivation, and his vitality was now only 0.85. He wanted to see his family grow stronger quickly.

With Su Chen's excellent talent, she would definitely bear more outstanding offspring.

Thus, he considered a way of presenting a fait accompli.

If successful, not only would he gain a clever daughter-in-law, but also a highly talented son-in-law.

Even if Su Jie was dissatisfied, he'd have to accept it.

Jiang Wudao frowned slightly, "There's no need for such tricks. I will naturally draw Su Chen's attention through honest and upright means. Women always favor the perfect man."

A fait accompli?

He disdained it.

What era was this?

It's not the 70s or 80s anymore. Women now have autonomy, and in Minglun Martial School, strong women are commonplace.

With Su Chen's inherent strength not being weak, coupled with a vitality of 3 and a character that is gentle on the outside but firm on the inside, being tied to Jiang Corporation is merely a lack of experience; how could she be restricted by petty schemes?

"Very well."

Jiang Batian nodded; he knew that the times had changed, otherwise it would not be so troublesome.

He then asked about the matter of the Primordial Star.

"Wudao, what do you think about the Primordial Star?" asked Jiang Batian, "It's a truly real planet with innumerable resources."

"Now, we can only explore it through the Taixu Illusory Realm, with our minds evolving our physical bodies, but I have quite a few ideas,"

Jiang Wudao's eyes sparkled, "We can gather the faith of the natives!"

In the inner courtyard of the Minglun Martial School, he had learned more about spiritual cultivation, including about the stage of manifestation.

Ordinary manifestation involves gathering virtual divinity, attracting believers, and absorbing faith to solidify the virtual divinity into reality, turning it into an actual divine essence.

Although Minglun Martial School does not encourage students to take this path, offering another way of gathering personal enlightenments, to understand the true self amidst the world—it was created by the headmaster of the school.

According to this path, all spirits are equal, faith is independent, and one must not tempt or compel others to revere oneself as a lord.

However, compared to this path of personal enlightenments, Jiang Wudao preferred the original path of divinity.

Being a god, revered by many—wouldn't that be much more solid than the elusive spirits?

The people of Earth should not be compelled in their faith, but the Primordial Star was different; its natives were not Earthlings, making them the perfect providers of faith?

Even if he was still far from reaching the manifestation stage, preparing for it wasn't a bad idea.

It's just that the rules of Minglun and Taixu Illusory Realm regarding the Primordial Star need to be considered, otherwise there was a high chance of being kicked out of the Primordial Star, thus missing the opportunity...
