Lin Mo, a modern college student, woke up one day to find that he had transmigrated into Journey to the West. And the Three Pure Ones were sitting right in front of him?
After the Calamity of the Investiture of the Gods, the Three Pure Ones had been fed the Immortal-Slaying Pills. The more they thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed. Hadn't Hongjun and the Two Sages of the West set them up?
To get revenge, the Three Pure Ones joined forces to bring Lin Mo over from Earth. They promised him a reward, whether cultivation or spiritual treasures, for every day he managed to obstruct the pilgrimage team. The longer he held them up, the greater the rewards... And once the Journey to the West was over, they would send him back to Earth with his cultivation and treasures!
So, to get even greater rewards and improve his cultivation, Lin Mo teamed up with the pilgrimage party to delay their journey! The eighty-one tribulations originally planned for them were stretched out by Lin Mo into an endless ordeal...
Tang Sanzang: “A true man faces tribulations head-on and uses them to temper his body! Bring on even fiercer tribulations!”
Sun Wukong: “Brother Lin, let's talk. Which Buddha should we set up next?”
Zhu Bajie: “What's the point of attaining Buddhahood? Wouldn't it be better to travel the world with my wife? Cuilan, wait for me!”
On Mount Ling, Buddha Tathagata looked at Lin Mo in utter despair. “Junior Brother, the demonic tribulation is almost here, and the pilgrimage team still hasn't reached Mount Ling... How about I just send the scriptures to Great Tang?”
“No way!”
Feeling the immense magic power in his body and the countless spiritual treasures in his sea of consciousness, Lin Mo refused with righteous indignation. “The Journey to the West is a trial for the pilgrimage team, meant to help Buddhism flourish. How can we take it lightly? It's even better if the demonic tribulation arrives. We'll add eight hundred more trials for the pilgrimage team!”
