Repeated attempts to execute him failed, Wukong eventually loses his temper yet again and wrecked havoc on heaven, and was then imprisoned by Lord Buddha for 500 years. He surrendered after his kingdom of monkeys were mostly wiped out in the conflict. Good fortune doesn't last forever, and due to mischief caused by Zimei (Zilan's sister), Wukong fell further out of favour with the Jade Emperor and other deities. He also stole and ate the peaches of immortality but due to Queen Mother being a secret sympathizer, he got off relatively lightly.

Wukong later won a horse-racing competition and was awarded the title of "Great Sage Equal to Heaven". She heard a prophecy that she and Wukong will be romantically involved, and she fell in love with him and vice versa. She was originally a flower next to Wukong's stone egg that gained sentience. He was soon summoned to heaven to become a Protector of Horses.ĭuring his time in heaven, Sun Wukong met a senior fairy named Zilan, who is notably a significant character here who doesn't appear in the novel. He also befriended a Judge from Hell and the Dragon Emperor of East Sea, such that they removed his name from the "Book of Life and Death" and gave him a Magical Cudgel as a weapon respectively.


His charisma allowed him to become the new King of Monkeys, and he sought to enter a training school for Immortals which he gotten into by merely befriending and offering Patriarch Subhuti a banana to eat. Sun Wukong was a monkey demon whose birth was from an ancient yet magical stone egg.
