Qin Chuan was born into the Journey to the West world and awakened the first ray of spiritual light that came into being with the opening of Heaven and Earth. He joined the monkeys in studying at Mount Fangcun, but embarked on a path to enlightenment completely different from theirs.
While Sun Wukong refused to study the “Arts” school and mocked the “Flow” school as useless, Qin Chuan had already mastered the Thirty-Six Heavenly Transformations just by attending class:
[Listening to the Stillness school, he comprehends the Nine-Breath Method and drains all the spiritual energy from Three Star Cave];
[Listening to the Movement school, he grasps the inversion of yin and yang, refining Patriarch Bodhi's meditation cushion into a primordial treasure].
