The land beneath Jinshan Temple has become a vast floodplain, with raging waves and filthy water running wild.
Fahai said, “This disciple's sins are monstrous and unforgivable. I am willing to descend into the Avici Hell... Yet Jinshan Temple has been flooded, and countless innocent souls have suffered. I have spent my life cultivating Buddhism, but now I have nearly become a demon. I am willing to use all my magical power and cultivation to drive back the flood and restore peace to the mortal world.”
The floodwaters receded.
Fahai's spirit completely vanished from the mortal world. His body too was scattered by the wind into golden dust, drifting into the great river.
But he never expected to transmigrate into Tang Sanzang, who had just set out on his journey west.
On this journey to Mount Ling, he will witness the goodness and evil in people's hearts, demons running rampant, and even immortals and Buddhas colluding for their own gain.
On this journey to Mount Ling, he will punish evil and uphold good, subdue demons and banish monsters, and sever karmic ties rather than take lives.
On this journey to Mount Ling, he will find the true bond between master and disciples, understand his own nature, and discover the emptiness shared by mortals and saints.
On this journey to Mount Ling, he will ask: What is the true scripture? Who is the true Buddha? Who can deliver all living beings?
