Summary

A remnant soul of the modern man Gao Han, together with a jade pendant of the Essence of Ren Water, transmigrates into the Journey to the West world, just as Sun Wukong returns to Mount Huaguo after wreaking havoc in Heaven. Gao Han absorbs spiritual energy in the Water Curtain Cave of Mount Huaguo, transforms into a water spirit being, picks up a Nine-Turn Golden Pill and immortal peaches and apricots, and goes into seclusion to cultivate for two hundred years. After Sun Wukong is pinned beneath Five Elements Mountain, Gao Han sneaks into the treasure vault of the East Sea Dragon Palace in search of cultivation methods, gropes his way through a maze formation into the library, later ventures to Bibo Lake to fight the Little Tuolong over territory, maneuvers everywhere under the identity of an offspring of Journey to the West characters, and ultimately achieves the proper fruit.

Editor's review

Suited to veteran readers who enjoy Journey to the West fan fiction and zero-to-hero cultivation. The opening cuts in at the classic node of Sun Wukong's havoc in Heaven; the water-spirit concept has clever touches, and the episodes of stealing golden pills and raiding the dragon palace deliver direct satisfaction. The weaknesses are plain prose, piled-up cultivation jargon, slightly dragging late-story pacing, and somewhat casual handling of side characters.

Reading tips

  1. Read the first three chapters to establish the water-spirit setting and cultivation logic before deciding to follow
  2. Skim the lengthy cultivation-realm explanations and focus on conflicts such as the dragon palace, the snake demon, and the Little Tuolong
  3. If you mind how side characters relate to the original characters, compare with the original plot while reading

About the author

Jiu Yao Author

Jiu Yao is a web-fiction author about whom relatively little public information is available. One work by this author is currently listed in the library, namely Son of a Reborn Bajie. Based on the available information, Jiu Yao's writing centers on male-oriented fiction and Eastern fantasy. The work takes the offspring of Zhu Bajie from Journey to the West as its starting point and develops its narrative through a rebirth premise, following a fantasy approach that extends and reimagines traditional mythological figures. Such material typically draws on a classical backdrop of gods and demons familiar to readers, then reconstructs character relationships and growth arcs through elements such as rebirth and bloodline inheritance, making it easy for male readers to identify with. Since no reliable records exist regarding the author's nationality, dates of birth and death, or personal history, no speculation is offered here; the writing style and broader influence also await further works before they can be assessed. What can be confirmed at present is that Jiu Yao entered readers' view with this single work, whose choice of subject shows an interest in Eastern mythological resources.
