What goes up must come down. When things reach their peak, they begin to decline! As the Daoist sect began to weaken, Buddhism seized the opportunity to rise and launched its plan to spread east. The pilgrimage to the West to obtain the scriptures was a crucial part of that mission. So how did Buddhism successfully spread east and rise to power? And how many untold stories lie behind the pilgrimage to the West?
This novel takes Journey to the West as its foundation, drawing on Investiture of the Gods, The Story of the Tang Dynasty, ancient myths, and some real history to tell a different tale of the pilgrimage east and Buddhism's eventual rise to prominence!
