Journey to the West Begins with Knowing When to Stop at Fangcun Mountain

A spark of light falls within the square inch; through the rise and fall of two lifetimes, he probes the secrets of the Dao. Do not say Bodhi cannot welcome strangers. Only by knowing when to stop can one avoid Heaven's wrath. Lin Yuan transmigrates to Fangcun Mountain. The very first second after he wakes, the Patriarch sees through him: "This man's aura is wrong. He is not of this world. Keep him here for now, and see how far he can go." From then on, he becomes a disciple of Fangcun Mountain, chopping wood, drawing water, listening to the Dao, and learning to channel qi alongside Sun Wukong. He knows everything. He knows Wukong will be expelled, that he will wreak havoc in Heaven, spend five hundred years beneath Five-Finger Mountain, and that the journey to the West will begin. But he cannot speak, act, or interfere. Because the Patriarch Bodhi tells him: You are beyond Heaven's Dao. Heaven cannot account for what you do. What it cannot account for, it cannot suppress. In the game the Patriarch Bodhi has been laying for five hundred years, he is the only piece that is not on the board.
