[The main storyline will still follow the original world of Journey to the West, but the plot will feature major, subversive changes. It will explore the backgrounds and lives of the monsters before the Journey to the West.]
[The protagonist is clever, decisive, and no saint. There will be no female lead.]
He transmigrates to the world of Journey to the West for no apparent reason, arriving just a few days before the Great Sage. From the start, he runs into the Black Bear Spirit before it has even taken human form. Fortunately, Li Xuan knows a little about cultivation, and by a stroke of luck, he escapes the bear’s clutches, only to meet Guibao, who has yet to become Prime Minister Turtle of the Eastern Sea.
Looking at the Red Gourd of Vying for the Lead in his hand, he thinks: So what if I’m just a bandit? Becoming an immortal or a sage is only a matter of moments.
Treasure: Red Gourd of Vying for the Lead (Level: 1, Spiritual Essence: 0/100, Souls: 0/10): At its current level, filling the gourd with spiritual essence grants 5 base attribute points and 1 skill point. It can be upgraded with spiritual essence and advanced with souls. Upgrading greatly enhances the gourd’s abilities.
Red Gourd of Vying for the Lead -> Colorful Jade Gourd -> …
As his cultivation improves and his horizons broaden, Li Xuan realizes that the world of Journey to the West is not as peaceful as it appears.
The seeds of every cause and effect were planted back when the primordial chaos first emerged. Stir up Heaven, forge ties with the demon kings, pay homage to Patriarch Bodhi. What a wonderful life this is!
