Journey to the West: I Become Bodhi’s Disciple, and Can Break Things Down and Extract Their Essence

After transmigrating into the world of Journey to the West, Li Yun became a villager beneath Mount Fangcun, killed when Sun Wukong crashed into him. He awakened talents carried over from his previous life: Disassemble and Extract!

Anything his left hand touched could be disassembled to reveal its core. Anything his right hand touched could have its core extracted and fused into him.

Li Yun resolved to use this fateful connection to seek apprenticeship at Mount Fangcun. He made it to the summit before the deadline and was accepted as an inner disciple by Patriarch Bodhi, who bestowed a legacy upon him and promised him a bright future.

After becoming Patriarch Bodhi's disciple, Li Yun unlocked the Divine Domain he had awakened in his previous life. He could develop followers through it. The stronger he became, the larger his domain grew; the more followers he had, the more faith he received.

Thus began Li Yun's unique path of divine cultivation. He would develop his Divine Domain and clans by exploiting the vast differences between them, then grow stronger through the faith his followers provided.

When the Monkey King completed his training, Li Yun followed him into the Celestial Court. With the Monkey King's help, he rose through the ranks, forging his own path to becoming the Celestial Emperor.

From then on, the Journey to the West took a very different turn. The Western religion not only gained nothing from the calamity, but wound up with enormous debts. In the end, it had no choice but to submit to Li Yun in exchange for a chance to survive.
