Journey to the West: I Collect the Corpses of the Eighty-One Tribulations, Even Yang Jian

After transmigrating to the end of the Qin dynasty, Ning An became a corpse collector at the Jiangzhou charity burial ground and unexpectedly activated the Record of Rebirth.

As long as he prepared a dead person’s body, cleansed and encoffined it, and fulfilled their dying wish, he could inherit the deceased’s legacy.

“Ding! Successfully encoffined a veteran. Reward: ten years of saber experience!”

“Ding! Successfully encoffined a centenarian physician. Reward: the Healing Arts of Qihuang!”

“Ding! Successfully encoffined a cultivator. Reward: a fragment of the Five Thunder Arts!”

“Ding! Successfully fulfilled the deceased’s dying wish. Reward: Soul-Gazing Art!”

And so Ning An quietly collected corpses at the burial ground for half a year, continually inheriting the legacies of the dead through the Record of Rebirth. His strength grew by leaps and bounds.

Then one day, the county office sent over the corpse of an old Daoist who had been struck by lightning three days earlier, yet whose wounds were still healing on their own.

“Ding! Successfully encoffined a fugitive from the Heavenly Court’s Thunder Ministry. Reward: Five Thunder Arts!”

The Heavenly Court?

Were there really immortals in this world?

Clues left behind by the old Daoist then led Ning An to Mount Mangdang.

There, he collected a white snake as well.

“Ding! Successfully encoffined the son of the White Emperor!”

The son of the White Emperor?

Then what about Liu Bang slaying the white snake?

Before long, the corpses of an Eastern Sea Dragon Prince, a renowned Great Qin general, and the ninth incarnation of the Golden Cicada appeared one after another.

Eight hundred years before the Journey to the West began, the key figures from the future tale had already entered the game.

And on the next page of the Record of Rebirth, it read:

[Target: Stone Monkey of Flower-Fruit Mountain]

[Status: Not yet born]

[Mission: Kill in advance]

Ning An fell silent.

“Someone’s planning to collect the monkey’s body before it’s even born?”
