To sum it up, this isn't a traditional monster-slaying, level-up story; it's more of a philosophical discourse. I feel that novels like this don't last long, and I'll run into difficulties towards the end.

Using the world of Journey to the West to write a fantasy cultivation story
This is a fantasy cultivation novel that uses the "Journey to the West" name as a backdrop. The author is simply using the name to adapt a cultivation novel. Those who don't mind can read it; the author's writing is quite good. I don't like this style, so those who are particular about it should avoid it.
The author overemphasizes the concept of "mind-body philosophy," making Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism seem strangely profound.
It's not just empty talk, it's all just theoretical debate! It feels like reading an old-fashioned online novel. It used to be novel, but it's lost its appeal now. However, your cycle is indeed well-executed, staying on track and progressing steadily; your results shouldn't be bad.
Xu Gongzi Shengzhi, an early author of the online novel "Shenyou," used a similar writing style, but wrote it better and more realistically than this book. Moreover, the most powerful theoretical master in Journey to the West is actually Jin Chanzi, a disciple of Buddha.

Too many explanations and lengthy explanations can sometimes be too much of a test of reading patience.
Thoughts on reading the first chapter
It's unclear how the protagonist interprets the hexagram without considering the specific year, month, day, and hour of birth. Is this some kind of novel using divination as a pretext? Assuming we use the Six Lines method, disregarding the year, month, day, and hour, the Earth Thunder Hexagram (Kun Palace) shows the wife/wealth/offspring water element holding the world position, while the…
