The Monkey Stole My Cultivation Notes and Became a Saint by Laying Low

Ye Xuan transmigrates into Journey to the West and becomes a disciple of Patriarch Bodhi on Mount Fangcun. He is bound to the Great Dao Insights Notebook System. As long as he writes down his cultivation insights in the notebook, he receives the Great Dao's blessing and feedback for himself.

His very first entry is "The Art of Lying Low." He decides to keep his head down until the end of time itself.

But to his surprise, the monkey who has just come to the mountain to become a disciple gets a copy of the notebook. After reading about the Great Dao of Lying Low, the monkey is awestruck and adopts it as the highest guiding principle of his cultivation.

And so, the most cautious monkey in all of Journey to the West is born, throwing the entire story off course.

The gods and Buddhas plotting behind the scenes are dumbfounded:

How can this monkey seem like nothing more than a Celestial Immortal, yet have layers upon layers of schemes? He only has to move a few clones to instantly kill a Sage, then secretly scatter the ashes?
