The author plans to make this little book more than three million words long. It mainly tells the story of a wild monkey and how, through its own hard work and perseverance, it gradually transforms from a monkey into a Buddha.
An ordinary life begins with someone descending from the heavens to the human world. How does he go from being a mortal to becoming a true Buddha? On his journey west to obtain the scriptures, he spares no effort in slaying demons and vanquishing fiends, enduring countless hardships and dangers. The many twists and turns, the cycles of life and death, and every small moment along the Journey to the West all become memories on his path to cultivating the truth. In real life, on that road, where are there no trials and tribulations for a mortal seeking to cultivate the truth? To achieve true success, a mortal must have the courage to draw their sword and fight to the death against demons and monsters. Amidst battles that shake heaven and earth, they need the boldness of Battle Through the Heavens and the havoc wreaked in Heaven to realize their lofty ideals. Only after suffering and experiencing how difficult it is to cultivate the truth in life can one truly understand the meaning of the road through life. When the great path is fiercely contested, what will fate decree? How can a mortal seeking to cultivate the truth overcome fate? In the celestial paradise between heaven and earth, he secretly eats the Peaches of Immortality and elixirs, drinks nectar, and feasts on all the immortal fruits of the Heavenly Mountains. He even gets himself into the pill-refining furnace where the Supreme Lord Lao bakes and refines elixirs and, for the first time ever, bakes sesame cakes. What happens next?
