Name: Journey to the West: Defying Heaven
Author: Immortal Boy

Synopsis

On the journey to the Western Heaven to obtain the scriptures, Sun Wukong refuses to be subdued. Using the scheme of the False and True Monkey Kings, Buddha Tathagata replaces him with the Six-Eared Macaque.

The Six-Eared Macaque protects Tang Sanzang as he obtains the scriptures and becomes the Victorious Fighting Buddha! Sun Wukong’s true body is destroyed, while his spirit is imprisoned in the desolate Spirit Mountain ravine, with the Great Sun Tathagata’s curse weighing upon him.

Tang Sanzang braves countless dangers to steal Wukong’s spirit away. Hunted by the Buddhas of the Western Heaven, he is forced to flee into the territory of Beiju Luzhou.

Unexpectedly, Beiju Luzhou, a place even the Buddhist and Celestial realms dare not set foot in lightly, turns out to be an ancient battlefield from the primordial age. The mysteries of Jin Chanzi’s origins, Sun Wukong’s bloodline, the Investiture of the Gods War, and many more are unraveled one by one...

The ten great ancient ferocious beasts appear together, while the ancient Five Elements human clans return to the world. The primordial gods Qiangliang, Jiufeng, Yujing, Xiangliu, Shebishi, Jumang, Tianwu, Zhuyin, and the rest all awaken. A true age of upheaval has finally begun: civilization collides with the wilds, and new gods clash with old... It’s all in Journey to the West: Defying Heaven. Welcome, friends, to the world of Journey to the West. Let’s charge ahead with passion!

Any Cultivation Novels with Characters Who Think Normally?

Are there any cultivation novels that are fairly sensible, have sound logic, and aren't comedic? Ideally, the setting should feel well thought out. So many cultivation novels start off pretty well for the first few chapters, but later they either turn into sex scenes or use language that's just way too modern.

Why Do Cultivation Stories Always Have to Start with a Five-color Mixed Spiritual Root?

The cultivation novels I've read lately all have basically the same setup: the protagonist's soul enters someone else's body, they get a five-color mixed spirit root and a golden finger, and off the story goes. What the hell, are people from Earth just inferior or something?!
