The Westward Plot (Synopsis via Tencent Penguin Pictures)

Now, the whereabouts of the奇经 (a mystical scripture) are unknown, and the heavens have dispatched a massive army to search for it.

Starting from the Battle of Tianyu Mountain, the wolf demon Bai Lang (White Wolf) embarks on a perilous journey to find the Tang Monk and his disciples, who once undertook the pilgrimage to retrieve the scriptures. The team gathers and sets out on the path to return the scriptures…

This is an era when the ancient eight great divine clans rule the land of Shenzhou (China), and humans are filled with awe and reverence for the gods.

Beyond the deities, the world is teeming with all kinds of demons and monsters… The most subversive legend of the Journey to the West unfolds.
