The boys of the Sanzo party are back, and they’re taking down any demons that stand in their way. The trek to India has been a hard one, and what they’re really interested in is some food—but they’ll find themselves in a brand-new mess instead!

Running out of food and tobacco, Sanzo and his followers come upon a beautiful saltwater lake. The local village has prospered as a salt producer and distributor. The numerous villagers are happy and lively.

Continuing west, the Sanzo party are climbing a nearly vertical cliff face. During their cruel rock climbing, a band of demons attack. The party fends off the demons and reaches the top, only to be greeted by numerous vultures.

500 years ago in Heaven, Konzen Douji is suddenly put in charge of taking care of a heretic child named Goku, who has golden eyes.

Goku continuously tries to see Nataku to tell him his name, but is refused every time. Tenpou and Konzen talk about Nataku's true origins and how Goku's existence may be a threat to Li Touten.

Goku's true power is revealed and Konzen, Kenren, and Tenpou are deemed traitors for protecting him. With no other choice, the four make a run for it and try to get Goku safely down to Earth before any harm can come to him.
