(The rating just came out and will rise later) [Classical cultivation] [Journey to the West] [Taoist mythology] [Eastern fantasy] [Not Honghuang] [No conspiracy theories] [Taoist settings take priority] [Folk mythology]
Dongfang Yi transmigrates to the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period. Seeking a renowned teacher, he makes a three-year pact with an immortal and sits fishing on the shore of the Eastern Sea.
He never expects to hook Sun Wukong, the protagonist of Journey to the West, before the Monkey King has attained the Dao. Catching Sun Wukong from the start unexpectedly activates the second form of his family’s heirloom, the Heavenly Book.
He walks through a magnificent age of gods and demons, seeking neither power nor territory, but only to attain the Dao and live forever.
After enduring many trials, he finally becomes a disciple of Lord Laozi and receives three Daoist scriptures.
Journey to the West has yet to begin. Dongfang Yi thinks he can finally enjoy a carefree life, drinking the morning dew and keeping company with the breeze and the moon.
Unexpectedly, the Jade Emperor’s sister descends to the mortal world, falls in love, and secretly marries Yang Jun. None of the immortals want to get involved, so this thorny family matter of the Jade Emperor’s is ultimately passed to Lord Laozi.
All appearances are illusory; only when there is no self can truth be found. Let no thought linger, and the spirit will be free.
Do not ask when spring will come or mourn when autumn departs. In blooming flowers, see the Dao; in falling leaves, return to the true self.
The present moment is enough; seek nothing outside yourself. With the Heavenly Book in hand, roam among all things.
See how Dongfang Yi cultivates his own Daluo fruition amid this vast and turbulent age of gods and demons.
This novel is well written, with sophisticated writing style, appropriate pace, and good plot control. Of course, it is not an invincible novel. If you like fast-paced novels, you don't have to read it here. What does this book say? It doesn't feel like it's written by Tomato. Could it be written by an experienced author from somewhere else?
Personally, I think it is a good source of information. There are many sources of allusions used in this book, and the author explains it in detail. It is a pity to publish it on Tomato. You should get better results if you publish it on other platforms. The rhythm is slower and the writing style is more classical. It is very different from today's Journey to the West conspiracy theories. Those who like this style will find it good, while those who don't like this style will find it boring.
Nuwa in the original Journey to the West did not participate in any plot (legends such as patching up the sky and creating humans are not extended in the book).
The author has a deep understanding of Taoism and has no conspiracy theories. If you are interested in Taoism and traditional mythology, you must not miss this book. If you are tired of reading conspiracy theories, you can also try this book.
Very good. Could it be that the theme of Yi Jian
The Great Sage has such a strict mouth. Patriarch Bodhi told him not to mention him, but he was never mentioned later. Otherwise, those people were already in the future of the Great Sage. How come they didn't know about Patriarch Bodhi?
I personally think it looks great and the details are pretty good.
The plot logic is very strong, and it's nice to watch.
After reading it, I feel like my world has opened up. This book is unpopular and unreasonable, so hurry up and read it!
Who in the family understands? Found a masterpiece! When I first started reading the first few pages, I felt like dozing off, but in the middle I started crying!
