The Investiture of the Gods is over, but Journey to the West has yet to begin.
Jin Chanzi feeds goldfish by the Pool of Merit. The Monkey King weathers wind and rain inside the Five-Colored Stone on Flower-Fruit Mountain. Marshal Tianpeng commands the Heavenly River navy, while General Juanlian diligently serves in the Celestial Court. The Little White Dragon throws his weight around in the Western Sea, and the famous five pilgrims are each living their own lives. Elsewhere, the gates of the Northern Sea Demon Master’s Palace are tightly shut, Buddhist chants ring through the Purple Bamboo Grove in the South Sea, the three-eyed man at Guanjiangkou is playing with his hound, and demons across the land can hardly wait to leave the Celestial Court for the mortal realm.
Li Yuanfeng wakes up as a nine-headed insect with the bloodline of a primordial beast. He cultivates divine arts, refines magic treasures, becomes a demon king, ascends to the Celestial Court, and stirs up the world.
A different Journey to the West, but the same path to eternal enlightenment.
