Journey to the West: I'm Going Broke, Yet My Disciples Want to Seize Spirit Mountain

Mu Bei spent a million years drifting as a spirit before finally taking human form.

But the System says he can't cultivate until he's squandered all the accumulated merit and Dao insights he earned through a million years of sign-ins.

So Mu Bei sets out to blow through his fortune as fast as he can.

From the start, he takes Bai Jingjing and the Money Leopard as disciples.

He writes Journey to the West for them to read.

Bai Jingjing: Master knows my past and future and has saved us. I swear to follow you for the rest of my life.

Money Leopard: Master is truly benevolent. You knew I would die in the calamity and saved me from disaster.

Youlai Youqu: I had a good heart, yet died beneath a club. Without Master, I'd have gone to my grave with a grievance.

Yellow Lion Spirit: ...

After each of the demons whose stories in Journey to the West left readers unsatisfied had read the book,

they became even more certain Mu Bei had come to redeem them.

And as Mu Bei squandered all his merit and Dao insights,

his disciples were moved to tears.

Our tribulations were all caused by the Buddhist sect's misdeeds.

Master has treated us so well. How could we let him sacrifice everything in vain?

And so, the demons began plotting to seize Spirit Mountain for Mu Bei.

P.S. I've read enough about the Monkey King. Here's something a little different.

This novel and its characters are entirely fictional. Any resemblance is purely coincidental. Do not imitate.
