Mount Huaguo
Impossible lightning reveals Water Curtain Cave and the first mark left by the missing merit.
An original post-pilgrimage world
The pilgrimage ended.
The merit never arrived.
Explore YaoBound's original world three centuries after Journey to the West: the missing merit, Eclipse Marks, ten regions, and the road back to Vulture Peak.
The central mystery
Where did the pilgrimage’s merit go—and why did heaven stop answering?
Rahu used local conflicts and hidden altars to refine intercepted merit into Eclipse medicine. The old pilgrims did not simply vanish: they became a living barrier around the breach. A-Yan’s journey follows the evidence west.
The Eastern Sea Road
A stolen sea-calming treasure connects the old Dragon Palace to a new Eclipse altar.
Gao Village
Behind a manufactured monster panic, the demon-revealing mirror exposes the Eclipse Marks.
Flowing Sands and Yellow Wind Ridge
Memories beneath the river show the pilgrims holding shut a breach in the flow of merit.
White Bone Ridge
Beyond three false faces, the party learns that the pilgrimage’s merit was intercepted before Vulture Peak.
The Flaming Mountains
Old fan scars, broken pacts, and Fire-Cloud Cave point to a blockade three centuries old.
Cart-Slow Kingdom
Three public trials ask not only who commands the stronger magic, but who may interpret heaven.
The Women’s Kingdom
The Mother-and-Child River reveals a connection between Eclipse medicine and the spirit-hunting bureau.
Lesser Thunderclap
A forbidden record beneath the false sutras links Rahu, the Six-Eared line, and the hero’s inherited vow.
Vulture Peak
Inside the Calamity Cloud, the player chooses whether to shatter its core or return the stolen merit to the world.
Source boundary
Classical names are acknowledged. New fates remain original.
Names and motifs such as Yellow Wind, Yellow Brows, and the pilgrimage road come from Journey to the West. Their lives three centuries later—as well as the Eclipse Marks, Rahu, Red Ling, the bureau conspiracy, and the missing-merit plot—are original to YaoBound.
