Jiang Liu'er transmigrates as Tang Seng and unexpectedly awakens the memories of his past life as the Six-Winged Golden Cicada. Only then does he learn that he is a pawn in the Tathagata's scheme. Bound by Buddhist restraints, he abandons the path of pilgrimage and conversion, and instead uses the calamity of the Journey to the West to devour the essence of demons, the aura of spiritual treasures, and the fortune of Heaven and Earth, repairing his damaged true form. From Five Elements Mountain to Lion Camel Ridge, and from Lingyun Crossing to the summit of Spirit Mountain, he proves the Dao through devouring, breaks free of Buddhist shackles, and battles the schemes of the Sages. In the end, he becomes the master of the Great Dao of the Chaos Golden Cicada, writing a legendary tale of defying the Sages that belongs to the Six-Winged Golden Cicada alone.
