Journey to the West: Life Simulation of Sun Wukong

Time flies like an arrow, swiftly passing by.

This year, Sun Wukong was already three hundred and forty-four years old.

Taibaijinxing arrived on a cloud, crossed the white jade bridge, passed through the pavilions, entered the waterfall, met Sun Wukong, and handed over the invitation to the Flat Peach Banquet: "Emperor, your name is on the guest list for this year's Flat Peach Banquet!"

"Thank you, old brother, for making the trip."

Sun Wukong accepted the invitation, put his arm around Taibai's shoulder, strolled around Huaguo Mountain, and invited him for a drink.

After half a month, Taibaijinxing had to bid farewell to Sun Wukong and said, "Wukong, I can't stay any longer, I still need to deliver invitations to others, delaying time would be my fault."

The days in the celestial realm are long, but if he stayed too long in the mortal world and delayed delivering invitations to other scattered immortals and Earth Immortals, he would be punished by the Jade Emperor.

"Then shall I take you? You know, my somersault cloud..."

"No need, my old bones can't withstand your antics, besides, my journey allows me to enjoy the scenery, and occasionally guide some mortals with the potential for immortality." Taibaijinxing planned his time perfectly according to his situation, naturally not wanting Sun Wukong to use any Divine Skills to directly transport him to his destination, as that would be too dull.

It's not easy to come to the mortal world, so it's naturally worth enjoying all the way to make the trip worthwhile.

Otherwise, why would he send invitations to all the immortals in the mortal realm?

"Well, take care, old brother, and if you have spare time, come often to Huaguo Mountain." Sun Wukong waved farewell.

"I'll certainly come often." Taibaijinxing ascended on a cloud, slowly rising to the sky, heading west, presumably to deliver invitations to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of Spirit Mountain.

Meanwhile, at Three Lives Academy, Zhang Chulan, after two or three years of cultivation, had already solidified his foundation, and his physical strength was comparable to Wu Ming's.

However, in a real fight, Wu Ming was still a notch above.

That's because Wu Ming focused all his energy on martial arts, while Chulan also had to learn the traditional Taoist Golden Light Spell to protect his divine light, hoping to become an immortal in the future.

Feng Baobao also made some progress, and with the frequent "coincidences" with Ao Yun, she learned a Golden Core technique, forging three pills of spirit, qi, and essence in the upper, middle, and lower dantians respectively, helping her regain her true feelings and normal human emotions.

However, she might have been used to being cold in the past, so even when she regained human emotions, she often remained expressionless.

This wasn't really an issue; when others saw her like that, they'd think twice about scheming against her, as that cold face gave off a vibe that she could kill at the drop of a hat.

Perhaps when her mind wasn't fully restored, she was often involved in burying people she set traps for.

"Did you take Feng Baobao as a disciple?"

After classes ended at the academy, Sun Wukong watched Zhang Chulan being dragged away by Feng Baobao by the ear and couldn't help but chuckle, asking Ao Yun beside him.

Ao Yun nodded, saying, "That girl is full of spirit but mentally unstable. I found a special pill technique to help her return to normal. Seeing her intelligence and extraordinary thinking, I decided to take her as a disciple. With some trials, she could achieve immortality, far surpassing Zhang Chulan."

"Speaking of Zhang Chulan..."

"Brother, without your intervention, he would have had his body taken by the Six-Eared Macaque, and he is too skilled at scheming, warm outside but cold inside, using everything and everyone to his advantage, which is detrimental to cultivation."

Those who achieve immortality have clear Primordial Spirits, sharp and wise.

However, true immortals with virtue engage with others through virtue.

They are all long-lived beings with no conflicts, so why scheme?

At most, they exchange gifts, discuss Tao, build connections and networks; so that if they later face something they can't solve, they have someone to turn to.

Moreover, this kind of networking is mostly among celestial beings who haven't yet proven themselves as Heavenly Immortals.

If Zhang Chulan were to go to the heavens as an official, he would definitely thrive among the immortals, but rising to Heavenly Immortal status, he might find that if he himself is not a Heavenly Immortal, he can't join them.

Since Heavenly Immortals are already eternal, their desires differ from ordinary immortals'. While they won't look down on Zhang Chulan, if he keeps trying to outsmart them, they might be annoyed and even refuse to see him.

[Do not take the Golden Core lightly, without the guidance of an adept, you will tire yourself out speaking in vain!]

Heavenly Immortals respect the humble, but if the "humble" lacks self-awareness and often speaks worldly gains in their ear, they will likely tire of him.

"He's a smart person, knows what to say and what not to say, and isn't as bad as you imagine. If he can Still his mind, achieving the Way in the future isn't impossible," Sun Wukong said with a smile, "His Nascent Soul has already transformed into a monkey; if he can transform back into a human and prove himself as a Heavenly Immortal, it's doable."

"It's also due to your benevolence, brother, otherwise, how would he have this opportunity?" Ao Yun slightly disapproved of Zhang Chulan's behavior—Brother Wukong befriends immortals and deities sincerely, regardless of their realm, treating them with equality; whereas Zhang Chulan seemed overly cautious, being overly humble to everyone.

In his world, perhaps this cautiousness is his survival tactic.

But in the realm of Huaguo Mountain, even ordinary mortals can debate with martial arts experts and qi cultivators; as long as the argument is on the side of the mortal, no one would support the "stronger".

Because such is the custom of Huaguo Mountain!

But Zhang Chulan, when interacting with others, always makes himself seem lesser...one might say he's hiding his strengths, but it feels more like he's used to playing the fool, a habit hard to break.

"He's only been in this world a few years, naturally more cautious; it's normal. A person's fortune can be observed in a moment but not for a lifetime." Sun Wukong smiled faintly.

And when Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao returned home, Zhang Chulan used the heaven token to return with Feng Baobao to his world... Thecanonicalsourceforthiscontent:M|V|L2EMPYR.

···

"Chulan, Baobao, you're back?"

Xu Si realized that time flowed differently between the two worlds, but seeing them disappear only for a moment and then immediately reappear threw him off.

However, he guessed that they must have spent quite some time at Huaguo Mountain, as Zhang Chulan appeared more mature than before, and his muscles had grown more robust.

He had surely succeeded in his cultivation!

As for Feng Baobao...she actually smiled at him and Xu San.

Could it be—

The two exchanged a glance, overjoyed.

"Baobao, have you returned to normal?" Xu San asked excitedly.

"Yes, I've regained the emotions typical of a normal person, though I haven't recovered my memories. My master said I need to pursue them myself." Feng Baobao explained her situation briefly.

"That's good... Chulan, what level have you reached now?" Xu Si inquired about Zhang Chulan's power.

"Heh, I'm crazy strong now; as long as it's not above a missile attack, I can handle it." Zhang Chulan laughed up at the sky, "In other words, I'm invincible!"

"Invincible? Can you withstand a nuclear bomb?" Feng Baobao slapped him down, saying coldly.

"Nuclear bombs, aren't they a bit too violent?"

Zhang Chulan chuckled awkwardly, inwardly noting: Bao'er Jie has refined three grand pills of spirit, qi, and essence; even I'm not her match now... But the stronger Bao'er Jie is, the safer she is.

"At least we're not afraid of the company executives anymore."

Immortality is on display, what can others do?

Even if ten elders ambushed them together, they couldn't defeat either him or Bao'er Jie, not even breaking through their defenses.

Though heavy weaponry still posed some threat, he and Bao'er Jie lived in the bustling city. Would those with ill intentions dare to use heavy weaponry in such a place?

Moreover, in this country, firearms aren't easy to hide; even for non-humans, daring to hide firearms would be considered "rebellion."

Therefore, in his world, Zhang Chulan felt at ease!
