Before the calamity of the Journey to the West, Chen Zu transmigrates and unexpectedly becomes Patriarch Bodhi. He also discovers that he has gained the last wisp of primordial violet qi in the world.
To revive the Daoist path and curb Buddhism, Chen Zu decides to meddle in the Journey to the West and throw the Western Religion's plans into disarray.
He enlightens the Stone Monkey, teaches the True Lord Who Reveals the Sage, and instructs the Great God of the Third Altar and Sea Assembly...
The three bold heroes of the Journey to the West burst onto the scene, throwing the Heavenly Court into chaos and plunging Buddhism into turmoil.
Even the Buddha is pinned down and beaten, forcing the Two Sages of the West to step in and clean up the mess...
In the end, their actions attract the attention of Patriarch Hongjun. Heaven and Earth are impartial, treating all things like straw dogs; the sages are impartial, treating the people like straw dogs. Chen Zu and his disciples vow to defy Heaven itself!
It's great. If the Bodhi Patriarch had been like this, Sun Wukong wouldn't have become Lao Shizi's broken Buddha.
