Journey to the West: Life Simulation of Sun Wukong

The life force field around Su Jie kept Zhang Manman's thought body from coming close.

In Zhang Manman's eyes, these fields resembled a constantly revolving galaxy, brilliant, intricate, and rotating in a highly unique pattern.

Su Jie was the center of this galaxy!

All stars were guarding!

The Milky Way surrounded it!

"Su Jie, do you realize? From my current perspective, you are not a human, but a galactic emperor standing in the void, with your feet on the stars and divine power limitless!"

Zhang Manman had watched Su Jie for a long time, as if enchanted, and the first thing she said upon awakening was an overly realistic description, or perhaps a compliment.

Su Jie was surprised, "Is it that exaggerated?"

"Yes!"

The thought body nodded affirmatively.

"Alright, do you want to go out and scout now?" Su Jie felt that they couldn't continue this topic, or Zhang Manman might become his follower. He suddenly sensed that he had the potential to become a deity of faith.

Zhang Manman thought for a moment and asked, "Can you create a split body like mine?"

Su Jie pondered for a while and said, "Before reaching the embryonic breathing stage, although I can also manifest my will, that method, similar to opening the node between people, can only manifest in front of someone and is not quite like your thought body, which is similar to a physical entity."

Mental split bodies, unless one is powerful, can only be manifested in front of someone.

Take optical invisibility as an example.

When deciding to manifest before someone, this kind of split body becomes like invisibility; others cannot see oneself, and one cannot see others.

"However, my spiritual power is still decent, capable of covering the entire base and can plan routes for you," Su Jie continued, "I'll stay here, guarding your physical body."

"Okay, clear division of labor." The thought body nodded and passed through the wall.

Being a thought body and not a physical entity, material naturally could not hinder its passage. In the state of a thought body, Zhang Manman seemed to possess many of the divine skills and spells from legends.

Skills like Pass-Through-Wall, Primordial Spirit Projection, and Ascension Light.

At this time, Zhang Manman could accomplish them, as if instinctively, naturally, moving as the mind wished.

Through this, Su Jie gained a stronger understanding of spirit cultivation—the spirit is the essence, the Primordial Spirit is eternal. If the cultivation of the spirit was even deeper, the physical body could probably be manipulated at will.

In Su Jie's view at this moment, if broken down, the physical body consisted of various bodily systems; further detailed, it comprised various organs; even further detailed, it was made up of cells; continuing on, it consisted of various molecules and atoms.

In summary, all these were particles of matter, essentially representing certain information.

Provided the spiritual cultivation was sufficient, and the energy adequate, recongregating these particles to create a body identical to oneself was trivial.

Of course, there was one premise—perfect memory of the body's information.

"For those with profound spiritual cultivation, knowledge is power!" Su Jie seemed to have grasped the true essence of cultivation, "And the ability to flexibly use all sorts of knowledge is wisdom."

Once the mind comprehends, all techniques are understood.

Su Jie once again sorted through what he had learned, evolving hundreds of martial arts in his mind. Based on Chu Tiange, with Eight Extremes Thunder Fist as the method, he led various other types of fists and evolved the powerful punch he used to defeat Jiang Wudao at the Supreme Cup—Transcendence of All Things.

However, although this boxing technique had a high ideation, it was not perfect.

"My way is not this."

Su Jie silently shook his head, calmed his emotions, and focused on the mysterious breathing technique passed to him by Su Chen.

This breathing had become his instinct and was operating all the time. He had even practiced it to profound levels, feeling that even without mouth and nose, the pores all over his body could open and close, communicating with the world. It could draw all accessible energy, truly seizing the creation of heaven and earth, drawing the mysteries of the sun and the moon.

"This breathing technique must have extremely powerful effects!"

Su Jie visualized another version of himself in his heart, placed at the center of the many martial arts he had evolved, and began to cultivate the spirit according to that breathing technique.

This was Su Jie's first attempt.

Only now, at this level, did he have the ability to construct another imaginary self in his heart to simulate the cultivation of that mysterious breathing technique.

Suddenly!

Between inhalation and exhalation of this mental figure, it connected with the external physical body, as if countless stars appeared around him from nowhere. Su Jie's main will seemed to detach from the physical body, situated between the spirit and the body, becoming a third-party observer.

The appearance of the mental figure underwent a change, as if it had transformed into a divine figure, sitting on a lotus platform, dressed in a Confucian robe, with three lights gathered above the head and a halo condensed behind.

One hand held a flower, the other pinched a gesture, as if holding up primordial chaos, creating the universe.

Behind it, there was a great Bodhi tree, showing three colors, opening up the essences of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, gathering infinite wisdom of the universe, eternal and carefree, boundlessly at ease.

Between its arms, lay an immeasurable divine pillar, colorful and with auspicious airs soaring.

"What is this?!"

Su Jie could hardly believe it and did not understand why his mental self modeling the cultivation would undergo such a transformation.

Who is this person?

The face was unclear, but the expression was benevolent. Just by looking at it, Su Jie felt an unparalleled calmness, and all the troubles in his mind were eliminated.

"I didn't expect someone to visualize my Primordial Spirit in such a posture. You really are imaginative."

The divine figure spoke, seeming to smile, its lingering voice vast and deep.

Su Jie naturally bowed and asked, "May I know which divine figure you are? Why do you appear within my spirit?"

The divine one said, "You practice my spell, yet do not know who I am?"

Su Jie asked, "Ancestral Master Subhuti?"

"Ha-ha-ha!"

The divine being laughed loudly three times, causing the celestial stars to tremble, manifesting the marvelous cycle of life and death in their blink of existence.

"Primordial Unity perfectly matches the Innate, through myriad calamities, it naturally persists. Vastly unacting, merging into the Supreme Tai Yi, immovably is called Initial Mystery."

"The body like a cauldron refining Primordial Truth, beyond matters, immortality is the saint. Infinite transformations, yet still transforming, where Buddha's path relies and Confucianism finds its truth."

"I am the Supreme Tai Yi, a Heavenly Immortal of the Primordial Unity!"

"Sun Wukong!"

Su Jie respectfully bowed, saying, "I've seen the Great Saint."

"Since you've received my techniques and we are destined, I will now pass on to you the skill of Saintly Embryo Visualization and also the Three Lives Three Teachings Fist," said the self-proclaimed Sun Wukong. Without waiting for Su Jie to refuse, he transmitted the Three Lives Three Teachings Fist to him.

The Fist of the Three Lives and Three Teachings holds the truths of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism. Depending on the individual learner, it yields different effects, serving as a foundation that evolves into various true meanings based on what one learns, contemplates, and practices.

Su Jie was instantly captivated by it.

And the visualization technique, without a doubt, was the vision of the Primordial Spirit he saw, ready to be visualized.

"If I may ask, Great Saint, do you have any instructions?" Su Jie asked respectfully after regaining his clarity.

"Would you become my protector?" the divine one said.

"It would be my honor."

Su Jie gladly agreed.

Whether this divine being was Sun Wukong or not, his wisdom surely transcended the mundane. Being his protector and listening to his teachings would undoubtedly allow him to rapidly advance his state and transcend the mundane.

The divine being nodded, his eyes twinkling with golden light— This content originates from M1VLEMPYR, My Virtual Library Empire.

Su Jie opened his eyes and exclaimed, "Fortune! Great fortune!"

Saintly Embryo Visualization!

Three Lives Three Teachings!

Having either of these would grant one access to the grand Dao; possessing both was surely a tremendous fortune.

"I actually have such an opportunity."

Su Jie glanced at Zhang Manman, seated cross-legged on the bed, "If not for being inspired by Zhang Manman and trying something different, I might have taken many wrong paths, and owe much to her benevolence."

With a light touch on Zhang Manman's forehead, he transferred the true meaning of the Three Lives Three Teachings Fist into her mind, so that she may comprehend it upon her thought-body's return.

These two techniques, though taught by the divine being, left the choice of teaching others to Su Jie himself—the divine being did not care.

Indeed, why would such a magnificent divine being care if others learned his techniques?

At that time, the thought-body returned.

Seeing Su Jie touching her forehead, she showed a contemptuous expression as if to say 'you are such a person', and scoffed, "Su Jie, you didn't do anything weird to my body, did you?"

"No," Su Jie removed his finger, "inspired by you, I gained some fortune, so I transferred it to you and imprinted it in your mind."

The thought-body returned to the body, eyes closed tightly, but her brows were furrowed, saying, "Indeed, there is a vast essence of martial truth in my mind, but it's obscure and difficult to understand, I can't grasp any of it."

Unable to understand?

Su Jie was startled, not thinking about the problem with the Three Lives Three Teachings Fist, but rather reminded of Ancestral Master Subhuti's sigh in Journey to the West—

Difficult! Difficult! Difficult!

The Dao is the most profound!

Do not take the Golden Core lightly!

Without the right person to transmit the wonderful secrets, mere words will only tangle the tongue and leave you parched!

"What's that look in your eyes?" Zhang Manman furrowed her brow, not understanding why Su Jie looked at her as if she were a fool; was it not because the martial art you transmitted was too profound?

"Cough, cough! Never mind, let's talk business," Su Jie forced a laugh, resolving that in the future, unless someone explicitly asked him for these teachings, he would not offer them again.

After all, sharing them doesn't guarantee that others understand their true essence.

Just like Zhang Manman.

She felt her innate talent was no worse than his, only lacking in opportunity a bit, but passing the Three Lives Three Teachings Fist to her was beyond her comprehension, let alone mastering it.

Without that bit of insight, even if the truth is before you, it might be less interesting than the sand underfoot.

Just like in modern science, with its profound disciplines such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, quantum science, and engineering, everyone knows these subjects are crucial for human development, but how many can immerse themselves in these studies?

Perhaps it's pressure from life, but Su Jie believed, more likely, they couldn't settle their minds to immerse in learning.

From elementary to high school, Su Jie could attest from his own experience that many students get distracted during their studies, varying only in duration.

How can one truly concentrate in such a distracting world?

Although Zhang Manman has practiced the Crystal Visualization Skill consistently, with a pure mind, she is not truly a crystal—how can she be free from distractions?
