Synopsis

[Myriad Worlds]: Journey to the West and the Primordial World each have their own independent systems. [Journey to the West: classical cultivation]; [Primordial World: spiritual-energy cultivation]

Three thousand worlds merge with one another, and people travel between all kinds of worlds in search of a way to save themselves. But Liu Ming, who transmigrated, takes a very different path: he becomes a disciple of the Dao Ancestor in Journey to the West and lives a truly immortal life.

As the worlds merge, all sorts of beings travel between them. There’s the eccentric who shouts, “We’re already a defeated army, and a defeated army must win,” then overturns a modern army with cold weapons; and the cultivator who discovers that Heaven’s Will here doesn’t strike people down, and decides to slaughter a few cities to refine a “Human Emperor Banner.”

While everyone else floods into the cultivation worlds, desperately seeking supernatural power, Liu Ming, the only one who knows Journey to the West, goes straight into its world and becomes a disciple of the Dao Ancestor.

What he never expected was that in its home world, Journey to the West would turn out to be a supreme Daoist scripture capable of helping people break through the bottleneck in their cultivation, or even reach Foundation Establishment in a single day. What’s more, Journey to the West has become connected to the other worlds, too.

So while his classmates beg to join cultivation sects, or get lucky enough to enter one only to do menial work on the servant peak, Liu Ming snacks on immortal pills when he has nothing to do and drops by gatherings to score some peaches of immortality and jade nectar.

As a disciple of the Dao Ancestor with an intelligence network at his disposal, Liu Ming had planned to lie flat in the Heavenly Court. But the great powers of the Primordial World keep showing up uninvited.

So after showing off his golden pills, Liu Ming always brings along top-tier treasures like the Vajra Bracelet, Seven-Star Sword, Jade Purification Bottle, Purple-Gold Red Gourd, Golden Rope, Banana Leaf Fan, Human Seed Bag, and more, heading to the borderlands to stretch his legs.

Confronted by demons and crooked cultivators invading the modern world, Primordial quasi-sages and even Chaos Demon Gods eyeing Journey to the West, Liu Ming says:

“Kids, I think our enemies might be allergic to divine abilities and magical treasures.”

I Want Pure Journey to the West, Not Primordial Chaos

Are there any straightforward Journey to the West stories? I want mythology, not a sequel to the Primordial World. Ideally, the protagonist should be original, and Tang Sanzang should be decisive and ruthless, cultivating his own Buddhism rather than becoming one of those bald Western monks.

He's got a strong personality from the start, offering walkthroughs to anyone who asks, even for free in front of someone selling walkthroughs for 5 million. This aligns with his later, sometimes clueless, sometimes brilliant character; it's not an act to get a mentor. 😂

It's really good, with no major flaws or complaints. Journey to the West is Journey to the West, the Primordial World is the Primordial World, the Seventy-Two Arts are the Seventy-Two Arts, and the Seventy-Two Transformations are the Seventy-Two Transformations. 🍉🍉

It's alright. The gods in the Journey to the West universe are all respectable deities, and the setting is quite novel. It's just that the main plot progresses a bit slowly. Please update more often!

The author then unleashed a plot twist: divine will erodes the author's desire to become Lao Tzu's disciple, acting impulsively and resigning himself to a minor role, seemingly indifferent to whether Lao Tzu would accept him or not, until the Daoist Ancestor begged to take him as a disciple. 🌚

Great! 👍 007 Heavenly Court, if you don't meet your performance targets, go to the Execution Platform! The Journey to the West world in this book is the kind where if it doesn't rain, they'll yell, "What kind of Dragon King are you? You're the Deaf King!" And drag the Dragon King out of the temple and whip him.

What a great book! However, the setting of Journey to the West does answer a question: the abundance of resources does indeed foster a different kind of humanistic spirit. Fighting and killing are certainly not the proper path to immortality; killing is merely a means to protect the Dao, and is indeed not a respectable act.

The world of Journey to the West is quite good; it not only elucidates the thoughts of ancient philosophers but also has a wonderful divine atmosphere.

Four stars for encouragement. This kind of Earthly secret realm plot is almost always the same. The transmigrator is familiar with the secret realm, almost a classic TV show or novel from their previous life on Earth. Before entering, they are mocked, then a life-or-death feud is formed.

Not bad at all! This is a rare gem among the recent recommendations. No major flaws, and it stays on topic. Based on its current state, I'd give it an overall rating of around 8.6. 🍉🍉 The main storyline is still set in the Journey to the West and the prehistoric era. Looking forward to seeing it in real life later! 😏😏

To be honest, it's really well-written. Most importantly, it captures the author's growth. At the beginning, it seems like an AI-generated wish-fulfillment novel—not that the author used AI, but the initial writing was just a little below that level. However, as it goes on, the writing becomes smoother and more expressive. The classic fantasy genre really comes through.
