"Go Into The West" is the name of the very first episode of this anime series, so it's clear they aren't exactly being subtle about using Journey to the West as their source material. The setting is the fantasy paradise of Shangri-La, which has been disturbed by a wave of negative energy, rising evil spirits, and vicious monsters. A Priest named Sanzo is ordered by the Celestial Heavens to travel to India and discover what has happened and how to fix
