Chen Yun wanted to read the original text of "Journey to the West."
It was precisely because of his curiosity about the concept of the "Roc."
Now, the closest creatures to the "Roc" he could think of were Garuda from Indian mythology and the Golden Winged Roc from "Journey to the West."
Moreover, one of these two was the origin of the concept of the "Roc," while the other was the most widely known personification of the "Roc."
So, on his way to India to see the statues of Garuda, he planned to read "Journey to the West" several times over.
Because he read so quickly, even with the constraint of turning pages of a physical book, he managed to read "Journey to the West" several times over while taking advantage of the flight times.
When he took a short rest at the summit of Mount Everest,
he had already flipped through to the Shituoling chapter again.
