Name: Journey to the West: From the Start, Accompanying the Tang Emperor on a Tour of the Underworld
Author: Scholar Who Wins a Marquisate

Synopsis

(The rating has only just been released and will rise later. No female lead + scheming protagonist + gradual growth + ensemble cast)

When the head of the Jing River Dragon King fell from the sky above Chang'an City, Liu Zhong knew this wasn't an ordinary Tang Dynasty. His first thought was to seek immortality through cultivation.

But because he resembled Wang Lin, the legitimate grandson of the Taiyuan Wang Clan, Sun Chong mistook him for a scapegoat and shoved him into the palace guard.

Unfortunately, his soul had not fully merged with his body when he transmigrated. When Black and White Impermanence came to collect Li Shimin, they accidentally took Liu Zhong along too, leaving him no choice but to accompany the Tang emperor on a trip through the underworld.

Was the Tang emperor grateful?

Then Liu Zhong would have to make sure his good deeds were remembered.

After Sun Chong, Wang Lin, and the others were dealt with, Li Er gave Liu Zhong a mission.

Protect Tang Sanzang on his Journey to the West!!!

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.
