Journey to the West: Life Simulation of Sun Wukong

Demons are boundless.

This formidable enemy, in a past transcendental simulation, required Sun Wukong to draw upon the power of another realm in order to be defeated. However, the Wukong of today has returned from his trial in another realm and naturally no longer considers it a threat.

It's just that the fiend has always been thinking of re-emerging in the Three Realms, and since a strand of his primordial spirit has gone to another realm, it cannot be detected until it descends again, and Wukong is also unable to find out which celestial world it has gone to.

But to wait passively is not Wukong's style.

Moreover, he has assimilated the remnant primordial spirit that Moluo left within the Three Realms. There might be unpredictable circumstances.

The main-world simulation of the Heavenly Dao Life Simulator no longer serves any purpose for Wukong, as he himself can also project the future from the Heavenly Dao of this world.

Although it's not as clear as the simulation from the Heavenly Dao Life Simulator, it is enough to allow Wukong to glimpse into the future.

"Waiting at ease is the best choice, but the vistas of the many heavens are indeed magnificent, making even me, old Sun, unable to resist the temptation to go and see for myself."

Sun Wukong's gaze turned towards the summit of Huaguo Mountain, where the pillar that reaches the heavens stands at the converging streams, the unyielding root of the earth.

Atop that very summit, the Immortal Stone that gave birth to him had already been restored by Zhen Yuanzi; it is a transit point among the many world of the heavens. Sadly, it is still in gestation and may only be successful at the time of this epoch's demise.

"It's also unclear how Demon Wuluo sent a strand of his primordial spirit to another realm..." While pondering, Sun Wukong scanned the entirety of Huaguo Mountain and, seeing nothing amiss, returned to Shuilian Cave to help Ao Yun handle various affairs.

Meanwhile. Enjoyingthestory?FindmoreatMV-LEMPYR.

The Emperor Zhenwu returned to the court, and the Jade Emperor summoned his loyal officials to discuss the merits and rewards for Zhenwu.

By this time, Emperor Zhenwu had already accepted his own honorary title, and then he reported to the Jade Emperor about his demon-slaying experience, "Your Majesty, your subject had merit in subduing demons, relying on the Eastern Leisurely Spirit King. Only after suppressing the four Demon Kings of the Northern Jambu Continent was I able to do so with ease."

"Where is the Eastern Leisurely Spirit King?" the Jade Emperor asked.

Taibaijinxing stood up, bowed respectfully, and said slowly, "Your Majesty, the Spirit King is at Huaguo Mountain in Ao Lai, having just reported his duties and returned down to the world."

"In that case, Taibai, convey my decree on my behalf—"

"The Eastern Leisurely Spirit King, who educates all spirits and has begun to show results, and assists the Emperor Zhenwu in subduing the four great Demon Kings of Northern Jambu Continent, ensuring peace in the North Sea and meriting in demon-suppression."

"With vast Divine Skills and innumerable laws, his aspiration to educate all spirits is as vast as heaven itself."

"Therefore, by decree, the Eastern Leisurely Spirit King is granted the title of Carefree Sage King and Sovereign of Equal Heavens."

Emperor?!

The celestial officials and divine generals in the hall were all shocked!

That was a position of the Six Imperial Ranks!

The Jade Emperor bestowed it just like that?

Inconceivable.

It seems that Sun Wukong holds much respect from His Majesty.

Taibaijinxing was also surprised and, after a moment's hesitation, asked, "Your Majesty, isn't this a bit... too much?"

As Sun Wukong's friend, Taibaijinxing naturally wished well for Wukong but felt it should be consolidated more since the higher you stand, the harder you may fall.

Sun Wukong was named Eastern Leisurely Spirit King only two or three years ago, and now he is being promoted to the Six Imperial Ranks. Isn't this too fast?

He worried that others might grow jealous of Sun Wukong.

"Sun Wukong has great talents; the position of Emperor is just right for him." The Jade Emperor's eyes shone with divine light. He drafted an imperial edict and handed it to Taibaijinxing, saying, "Take this to the Three Pure Ones in Taiqing Sky, and convey the decree."

"Your subject, obeys the decree."

Taibaijinxing respectfully received the Jade Emperor's edict and withdrew from the Lingxiao Palace, left the Tongming Hall, and headed for the Taiqing Sky.

The position of an emperor is not something the Jade Emperor can bestow alone; it requires the acknowledgement of the Three Pure Ones to be achieved.

Yuanshi Tianzun and Lingbao Tianzun looked on with their Dharma Eye and, without discussion, signed their names. It was not until the decree reached the thirty-third heaven, Taiqing Scarlet Heaven, at Doushuai Temple, that the Supreme Old Master took the jade decree, chuckled, and scolded, "Who would have thought that monkey would become an emperor? Truly remarkable, and here I thought he would have to experience some tribulations."

Taibai was surprised, "The Old Master also knows about Wukong?"

The Supreme Old Master laughed heartily, "Back when Great Yu controlled the floods, he borrowed from me a Ruyi Jingu Bang, which I had forged. I thought it was to be used to subdue some demon, but he was merely keen on its weight using it as a measuring tool. Later, it was swept away by the rivers to the Eastern Sea and ended up in the hands of the East Sea Dragon King, from where that monkey obtained it."

"That truly is destiny," Taibaijinxing remarked admiringly.

"Isn't it destiny?" The Old Master signed his name on the jade decree, slowly saying, "The material for that Ruyi Jingu Bang is Chaos Initial Judgment Pottery Patterned Iron. He was nurtured by a Primordial Chaos-born Immortal Stone, and only he could bring out the full power of that Divine Weapon."

Afterward, under the influence of the names of the Three Pure Ones, the jade decree transformed into a jade token the size of a palm. On the front were the characters for "Equal Heaven", written in dragon and phoenix script, naturally carved and letters of the Great Dao; on the back, the shape of the Yin-Yang Eight Trigrams, engraved with the names of Yuanshi Tianzun, Lingbao Tianzun, and the Morality Tianzun.

"Take it."

The Supreme Old Master handed the jade token to Taibaijinxing along with a purple gold gourd, saying, "Within this are nine Nine Turns Primordial Elixirs that I have refined. They are a congratulatory gift for his achievement as an emperor."

Taibaijinxing accepted it respectfully, took his leave, and went towards the Southern Heaven Gate.

"Taibai, are you heading down to the mortal realm again to invite someone to ascend to the heavens?" Marshal of Growth asked cheerily.

"Not at all," Taibaijinxing stroked his beard, "I am conveying the Emperor's decree to confer a title upon the Spiritual King of Huaguo Mountain. He has aided the True Martial Great Emperor in quelling the four Demon Kings of Northern Jambu Continent. His merit is undeniable, so the Emperor has named him Carefree Sage King and Sovereign of Equal Heavens and the Three Pure Ones have also noted their approval."

"An emperor!" Marshal of Growth clicked his tongue, "That Spiritual King is indeed extraordinary."

"I won't keep you, then. I need to go down now."

"Please!"

The Marshal of Growth immediately gave way.

Taibaijinxing rode a cloud upward, heading towards the direction of Ao Lai in the Eastern Victory Divine Continent...

...

At this time, within Huaguo Mountain.

Sun Wukong returned to the Shuilian Cave, sat upon the imperial throne, and through the path of heart and spirit, arrived at Square Inch Mountain, entered the Three Star Cave, and faced his master.

"Wukong, you've come." Upon seeing Wukong, the patriarch rubbed his eyes and sighed, "The Bodhi has become a tree, the wisdom has sprouted; your talent is indeed exceptional."

"It's all thanks to Master's teaching," Sun Wukong flattered.

"When did you learn to bootlick?" The patriarch scolded with a smile, yet the joy on his face did not fade, clearly pleased.

Had it been any ordinary disciple flattering him this way, the patriarch would have surely given punishment to prevent slick talk.

Yet Wukong's praise—

Was heartfelt.

Then, Sun Wukong talked about his simulation of the heavens, enlightening the patriarch who exclaimed, "That world, with its cultivation of heart and spirit, surpasses even us, but it lacks truth and virtue."

"Though it is said that only the fittest survive, that happens only when the needs for survival are not met. However, with the abilities of those deities, sustaining a domain, spreading the true Dharma, would not be difficult."

"Yet they still follow the law of the survival of the fittest, treat life as worthless, and regard wisdom as dung. It's truly beyond understanding."

"The desires of the human heart are part of the natural order and are meant to exist. But such madness as in that realm is indeed rare."

Sun Wukong said solemnly, "Fortunately, your disciple rectified the chaos, upholding moral principles. However, in my view, in those heavens, those who follow the survival of the fittest far outnumber those like us who seek the Dao, debate the truth, and make friends with one another."

Bodhi said, "Perhaps this is also the law of the great environment of the heavens."
