Journey to the West: Life Simulation of Sun Wukong

"You can pause now," the voice of the Cultivation World's heavenly intent resounded at the bottom of Jiang Li's heart. "The energy here is no longer useful to you. To improve further, you'll need energy of a much higher quality."

"For example, energy beings."

"If you can obtain many energy beings and refine them, you'll certainly achieve significant growth."

Jiang Li smashed a monstrous creature with the head of a bull and the body of a leopard with a punch, absorbing its energy, and couldn't help but sigh, "Energy beings are not easily acquired, and moreover, Ming Lun conducts a yearly inspection on the energy beings handed out. Unless they die naturally or sacrifice themselves to protect their host, in other cases, the host must not forcefully refine the energy beings."

On this matter, Jiang Li was also frustrated.

Even though, upon merging with the host, energy beings become companions of the host, capable of growing alongside them and providing energy for advancement, tirelessly and devotedly.

But weren't the plow oxen of the past also tirelessly devoted?

But in the end, when old, they are still killed for meat, aren't they?

Is it just because energy beings, after merging with a person, become somewhat sentient and gain a mind, that they are treated as creatures with a spirit?

Hypocritical!

The natural law of the survival of the fittest is just and righteous!

Of course, Jiang Li did not deny Ming Lun's greatness. Yet, with such powerful strength, Ming Lun could make everyone in the world affluent and healthy but instead gave everyone the chance to make their own choices.

In this regard, Ming Lun is extremely foolish!

"Then, you'll have to find a way to leave the Taixu Illusory Realm and search for other dimensions to plunder energy from," the heavenly intent of the Cultivation World suggested.

"I have been considering such a plan myself," Jiang Li replied. With the improvement of his cultivation level and his experience in starting his own venture, he found it increasingly difficult to agree with Ming Lun's views.

It would have been possible for all beings to share the same views and thoughts, but instead, they are left to make their own choices, leading to an era as advanced as this one where the crime problem has not been completely solved.

He, was determined to create a world even more perfect than the one Ming Lun had!

"However, my path must not be that of the 'Great Dream Heart Sutra' or the 'Eternal Supreme Scripture'. These two divine techniques are part of the Great Emperor's heritage, but even if I were to cultivate both, I would certainly be unable to forge my own path apart from those two Great Emperors. To correct Ming Lun's mistakes, I must transcend beyond both," Jiang Li declared.

"You aim to surpass two Great Emperors?" The heavenly intent of the Cultivation World was slightly surprised. "I advise you not to overreach. If you simply follow the steps, it will be enough for a lifetime."

"Conforming to rules and models will not lead to breaking limits," Jiang Li smiled calmly. "One should still have dreams."

The heavenly intent of the Cultivation World fell silent.

However, It considered that if Jiang Li continued on this path, It might have to find a new "master". The only complication was that the Great Emperor's Relic had already accepted Jiang Li as its owner.

Unaware of the new thoughts arising within the heavenly intent of the Cultivation World, Jiang Li submitted his application to leave the Taixu Illusory Realm after leaving the lunar training ground.

The one who received Jiang Li was Jiang Xin Yue.

"Are you sure?"

Jiang Xin Yue narrowed her eyes slightly. "But applying to Ming Lun will be useless, you will also need to apply to the human alliance once more, and only with the common approval of both can it be possible."

If it weren't for the human alliance's strict surveillance over the saints, Jiang Nalan of the Jiang Family would have long since left the Taixu Illusory Realm to establish a divine nation of the Jiang Family beyond its confines.

Jiang Li's brow furrowed slightly. During this period, he had also learned about his relationship with Jiang Xin Yue—they were both from the Jiang Family, except his father Jiang Zhendong had obtained a citizenship with the human alliance and had broken away from the Jiang Family.

"Are you giving me a hard time?" Th%i%s# v-e-rs+io#n was s+o%u.rce!d$ from M*|&V|L^-EM#PYR.

"Jiang Li, do not judge others by your own measure. I do not have the energy to trouble you," Jiang Xin Yue said coldly. "Moreover, even if you were to report the Jiang Family, it would not implicate me. Not to mention, your father's generation was the product of the time when genetic cloning had not been completely banned."

"Your father should have been destroyed as an embryo. It was only because the Jiang Family still had some luck left at the time, freezing that batch for more than fifty years before quietly commencing the experiment, allowing them to survive," she continued.

"You should be thankful to the Jiang Family for your existence."

Jiang Li sneered, "Typical of the Jiang Family, cold-hearted, not even caring about your own clan."

Jiang Xin Yue's expression turned solemn. "First of all, I am a teacher of Ming Lun, and only then am I a member of the Jiang Family. If the Jiang Family breaks the laws of the human alliance, I will not hesitate to be righteous even against my own kin."

"If your father broke the law, would you report him or pretend not to know?"

Facing Jiang Xin Yue's counter-question, Jiang Li's brow furrowed slightly.

He could choose to ignore it, but he had his own convictions within his heart, so when faced with a problem, he couldn't avoid it. The only solution was to deal with the problem—and the best way to deal with a problem was to deal with the person causing the problem.

A hint of murderous intent flashed through Jiang Li's eyes.

"Hah! That's all you have," Jiang Xin Yue suddenly smiled faintly. "If you reveal murderous intent simply over a word from me, then even if you possess a multitude of divine techniques, you will never surpass me."

"Hmph!"

Jiang Li turned and left.

But Jiang Xin Yue called out from behind, "You are still young, Jiang Li, don't be too naive."

It was both mockery and education.

Yet Jiang Li only heard the mockery, taking it as Jiang Xin Yue's scorn for his overestimation of his own abilities.

"Things change. What's here today may be on the other side in thirty years, Don't underestimate the young when they're down!" Jiang Li clenched his fists in secret, calming his spirit with the persuasion of the heavenly intent of the Cultivation World.

"You should calm down for a while. The killing intent is a bit strong after coming out of that training ground."

"I know," he replied.

Jiang Li nodded and then found his parents as well as the partners with whom he had founded his business, Hong Heiyu, to discuss his ideas about wanting to develop outside the Taixu Illusory Realm.

Jiang Zhendong frowned, "Why go outside the Taixu Illusory Realm? The outside world is much more chaotic than here. The gods establish faith, shepherd the people, and harvest souls."

Jiang Li said, "This place is a garden, safe but I can't grow here. I must go out, and I'm confident that I can become a deity."

Jiang Zhendong fell silent.

If there was a chance to become someone important, who would want to be just an ordinary working member of society?

To believe in others, Jiang Zhendong disdained.

But to be believed in by others, Jiang Zhendong wouldn't refuse.

It's human nature.

Hong Heiyu suggested, "To leave the Taixu Illusory Realm, those few people of Ming Lun can come and go as they please, but others must pass through specific spatial dimensions to exit."

"But at the space gate, there are Sit-Wang level powerhouses guarding it; it's impossible for us to find a way out."

Jiang Li said, "Don't worry, I have an ally who can temporarily enhance my strength to the Sit-Wang level, even to the level of Manifest Saints, and I can definitely break out."

"But we can't." Hong Heiyu shook his head.

"No problem, I have an item that allows living things to survive inside it." Jiang Li took out the Great Emperor's Relic, providing a guarantee for his daring action.

At this point, Hong Heiyu had confirmed that Jiang Li was indeed destined for great fortune.

Storage magical treasures like Qiankun Bags and spatial bracelets are common, but a spatial treasure that can store living beings is rare, and it's almost comparable to a mini Paradise Realm.

"Dad, where's Jiang Tao?" Jiang Li didn't see his brother and was puzzled, "With his strength, he shouldn't need to prepare for college entrance exams, should he?"

In fact, Jiang Li did not want his family to be too connected to Ming Lun.

"I'm not sure, he seems to have joined a public welfare organization called 'Pear Ze' in society," Jiang Zhendong said.

"Public welfare?" Jiang Li was speechless, not expecting his brother to be so charitable, "Call him back. We will be leaving soon."

"So soon?"

Jiang Zhendong was surprised, but still pressed the watch on his wrist and conducted a virtual video communication with Jiang Tao...

...

In the blink of an eye, March hurried by.

Jiang Li had prepared everything and unexpectedly learned that the so-called "Pear Ze" public welfare organization was actually the anti-humanity terrorist organization "Founder of the Nation."

To Jiang Li's knowledge, these terrorists were pitiable just wishing to restore the rule of the state, what was wrong with that?

Ming Lun claimed to provide everyone with a choice, but exclusively denied them their own.

Such hypocrisy!

"Let's go, to break through the Taixu Illusory Realm, starts today!"

At the same time.

Within the Cultivation World, Meng Xiaolan, using the Space of Heavenly Will and the Place of Reincarnation, found Su Jie and reported her situation; she then said, "All principals, the Cultivation World is being swept by the Red Torrent. It's inevitable. While there are still some who resist, they will eventually join the ranks of all spirits, together with the other dimensional civilizations within the Taixu Illusory Realm."

All Spirits!

The grand goal!

The Red Dao also aligns with this concept, but in the end, who will encompass whom remains uncertain; it depends on their respective development.

"Not bad, little Lan Lan." Chan Yinsha smiled, "In terms of merit, no one can compare with you."

"Chan, you flatter me too much," Meng Xiaolan felt gratified, but she wasn't conceited. Acknowledging her achievements openly, she said, "There is still so much I have to do. Hence, I hope to leave just an incarnation in the Cultivation World to manage things. I myself wish to leave this Taixu Illusory Realm and see the civilizations beyond."

Su Jie said, "There's not much to see, really. It resembles the former Cultivation World, and it might be even crueler."

Meng Xiaolan stood firm in her conviction, "If the outside is like the present Cultivation World, then I must carry out the actions I've taken in the Cultivation World. I see it as being the vanguard for the Taixu Illusory Realm."

An unwavering will!

Determined eyes!

This purity touched Su Jie, who then turned to Sun Shisheng, "Principal, I wonder if you agree?"

"Are you truly ready?"

"Meng Xiaolan!"

Sun Shisheng's magnetic voice echoed in her heart, yet it only made her resolve firmer, "Always ready! That is my ideal! My aspiration! My Dao path!"

Ever since she had seen the truth, she could never return to living a life of drifting along aimlessly. She was determined to have all intelligent beings in chaos liberate their thoughts!

All intelligent beings should learn to think for themselves and not become followers of others, willingly driven!

Like now—

She decided for herself to go beyond the Taixu Illusory Realm, to act as a vanguard, instead of being ordered to do so.
