The Untold Story of Journey to the West

Before Sun Wukong's Havoc in Heaven, the seeds of this mythic world had long been sown. Why did the immortal stone on Flower-Fruit Mountain happen to give birth to a spirit monkey? What trials did the Jade Emperor endure before securing his place as ruler of the Three Realms? If Patriarch Bodhi charged no tuition, what was he really after? And why did Zhen Yuanzi, Ancestor of Earth Immortals, refuse to take the Tathagata seriously? When Taishang Laojun's attendant stole an elixir and fell to the mortal realm, and Yama discovered strange changes in the Book of Life and Death, a world-shaking game centered on the stone monkey was already in motion. This book unveils the long-buried ancient secrets behind Journey to the West.
