I Handed Over Journey to the West From the Start, and the Leader of the Tongtian Sect Laughed Himself Silly

[Two Worlds] + [Investiture of the Gods] + [Journey to the West] + [Roadside Ambush]

Before the westward journey.

Sun the Monkey boasted, “Back in my day, when I wreaked havoc in Heaven, a hundred thousand celestial soldiers and generals couldn’t stand against me. What mortal-world demon could hear the name of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven and not flee in terror? I’ll make sure Tang Sanzang succeeds in getting the scriptures from the Western Heaven!”

But then...

“Great Sage Equal to Heaven? I’m Yang Jian, and I’ve never heard of you!”

“Take Nezha’s spear!”

“Lei Zhenzi is here! You ugly monkey, somehow even uglier than me, where did you come from?”

“I am Kong Xuan! I have a divine ability. Great Sage, please give it a try!”

The Taoist Duobao?

Jieyin? Zhunti?

And a Taoist who calls himself Tongtian, carrying four swords?

Sun Wukong sucked in a sharp breath. This was starting to look like a serious problem.

“Where is Five Finger Mountain?”

“Quick, someone fetch Five Finger Mountain!”

“I’m not getting the scriptures from the Western Heaven anymore! I’m done!”
