Transmigrated as Tang Sanzang: Whatever It Is, We Can Talk About It Later

“What? I transmigrated into Tang Sanzang, and I don’t even have a System? What am I supposed to do, then?”

Xu Yan, the Holy Son of the Civil Engineering Sect, grumbled in disbelief.

On the journey to retrieve the scriptures, Xu Yan keeps using the government’s resources to build his own connections. He won’t let powerful demons off the hook, and he’s just as determined to bring female demons under his wing.

After Lady White Bone is blinded by the Yellow Wind Monster, Xu Yan says, “My lady, surely you don’t want your eyes to stay like this forever?”

Guanyin wants to send the Dragon Girl Shancai to arrange a trial of love for him? Then this humble monk will gladly accept.

Stay with the queen or continue west to retrieve the scriptures? Of course, he’ll be true to both the Buddha and his beloved!

The Scorpion Spirit, strong and resourceful, actually likes that sort of thing?

Weren’t the seven spider spirits all eaten? How has he run into them again?

Only after meeting the Rat Spirit does he realize that the Bottomless Cave on Hollow Mountain has a deeper meaning.

He accidentally saves the princess of Tianzhu, so this humble monk will gladly take her in.

And what’s all this about Bai Suzhen and Xiao Qing?

Along the way, Xu Yan not only keeps expanding his scripture-seeking party, but also helps the common people overcome their hardships. Without realizing it, he accumulates boundless merit.

He thought everything would be fine once they reached Spirit Mountain, and everyone had attained their rightful status. But Spirit Mountain isn’t as simple as he imagined. On the surface, all the Buddhas gather in reverence, but beneath it, undercurrents are surging.

The four bone relics have fused. What power do they hold?

The Demon Realm is invading Spirit Mountain?

The Buddha Tathagata meets Xu Yan alone and hands him the final inheritance.

Only when Xu Yan returns to Spirit Mountain does he understand: becoming the Buddha cannot decide everything, but he must fight for the throne!
