He stole Peaches of Immortality and Immortal Pills in the Heavenly Court, and single-handedly turned the world upside down. The 100,000 Heavenly troops and generals could not withstand a single blow from him. Although he was captured by Erlang God Yang Jian after hundreds of rounds of fierce battle with the help of Taishang Laojun and put into the alchemy furnace to refine for 49 days, not only was he not destroyed, but he also cultivated Fiery Eyes.

Uproar in Heaven: Sun Wukong was conferred the title of Horse Wen by the Jade Emperor, but he felt wronged and returned to Huaguo Mountain to call himself the Great Sage Equal to Heaven. The Jade Emperor sent heavenly troops to capture Sun Wukong, but he was defeated. The Jade Emperor once again tricked Sun Wukong into giving him the title of "The Great Sage Equal to Heaven" and letting him manage the Peach Garden. Sun Wukong secretly ate the Peaches of Immortality and Grand Supreme Elder's Golden Elixir and escaped from the Heavenly Palace. The Jade Emperor sent heavenly soldiers to capture Sun Wukong, but he was eventually captured after a great battle with Erlang Shen. Then, Sun Wukong wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace and was finally suppressed by the Buddha at the foot of the Five Finger Mountain.
After Sun Wukong was born from the immortal stone, he became a disciple and learned powerful skills. After being recruited by the Heavenly Court, he was conferred the title of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven. In the Heavenly Palace, he had the Heaven Qi Territory and was served by immortal officials. He addressed the various immortals in different ways and treated many of them as brothers. Later, he became the manager of the peach garden because of Xu Jingyang. Sun Wukong was dissatisfied with the restrictions and contempt of the Heavenly Court. He ate peaches of immortality, drank imperial wine, and ate immortal pills. The Jade Emperor sent the Giant Miracle God, Nezha, the Nine Stars, the Four Heavenly Kings, and many other divine generals to capture him, but they were no match for him. The battle between Erlang Shen and Sun Wukong could only end in a draw. In the end, he was captured by Xiao Tianquan and the diamond chakram and thrown into the alchemy furnace of Taishang Laojun. However, Sun Wukong had cultivated Fiery Eyes and jumped out of the alchemy furnace and fought all the way to the outside of the Lingxiao Hall. Many immortals could not resist it until the Gautama Buddha attacked and suppressed it under the Five Elements Mountain. This story reflected Sun Wukong's rebellious and unruly character.
The story of Uproar in Heaven was based on Journey to the West. The stone monkeys of Flowerfruit Mountain absorbed the essence of the sun and moon to transform into divine monkeys, leading the monkey group. This divine monkey had sneaked into the Dragon Palace for the treasure and snatched the Sea-Pacifying Godly Needle Ruyi Golden-Hooped Cudgel by force. The Dragon King of the East Sea had complained to the heavens. The Jade Emperor ordered Taibai Jinxing to come down to the lower realm to appease him. The divine monkey did not know that it was Ji Xinran who went there, but he was only sealed by Ma Wen. After realizing that he had been deceived, he rebelled against the Heavenly Court and fought with the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals at Huaguo Mountain. The Heavenly Court had once again recruited him and conferred him the title of " Great Sage, Heaven's Equal ". However, he was not invited to the Peaches of Immortality Gathering. Therefore, he secretly ate the Peaches of Immortality, stole the immortal pills, and raised the banner of " Great Sage, Heaven's Equal " to openly oppose the Heavenly Court. He broke into the Heavenly Court alone and turned the world upside down. 100,000 Heavenly troops were not his match. Erlang God Yang Jian fought with him for hundreds of rounds. With the help of Taishang Laojun, he was captured and put into the alchemy furnace for 49 days. Not only was he not destroyed, but he also cultivated Fiery Eyes. When he rushed out again, he beat the gods of the Heavenly Court in a sorry state. In the story, Sun Wukong was a witty and optimistic hero who dared to take responsibility for his actions and bravely resist the power of heaven. He was proud and unruly, full of confidence in his own strength, pursuing freedom, and eager to break through the shackles. However, he also failed due to lack of support and strategic planning when he caused havoc in Heaven. Erlang God Yang Jian was the number one War God in the Heaven Realm. He was the disciple of Immortal Yu Ding and the second disciple of the Heavenly Lord Yuanshi. He was arrogant and disdained to acknowledge the Jade Emperor. He was powerful and fought Sun Wukong for 300 rounds without a winner. In fact, he went easy on Sun Wukong because he saw that Sun Wukong would cause havoc in the Heaven Realm in the future. Taishang Laojun was the founder of the world and had powerful mana. He was suspected of deliberately going easy on Sun Wukong when he caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace. For example, he stopped Guanyin from attacking Sun Wukong and used his own diamond chakram to control the strength. When he used the Eight Trigrams Furnace to refine Sun Wukong, he also seemed to be putting on an act. The Jade Emperor was the ruler of the Heavenly Court, and the story reflected the authority of the ruling class of the Heavenly Court. Venus often appeared as the messenger of the Heavenly Court.
After Sun Wukong learned the Seventy-Two Transformations and Cloud Somersault from Patriarch Bodhi, he returned to Huaguo Mountain to play with the little monkeys and practice martial arts. Sun Wukong borrowed the Ocean-Pacifying Godly Needle from the Dragon King as a weapon and turned it into the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Cudgel. The Dragon King was angry and complained to the Jade Emperor. Taibai Jinxing offered a plan to trick Sun Wukong into a small official position in the Heavenly Court. The Jade Emperor listened and sent Taibai Jinxing to summon Sun Wukong to heaven. Sun Wukong was granted the title of Ma Wen. Later, he found that he was just a small official who raised horses and was bullied everywhere. He destroyed the Imperial Horse Supervisor and returned to Huaguo Mountain, self-proclaimed as "The Great Sage Equal to Heaven". The Jade Emperor was furious and ordered Heavenly King Li to lead Nezha and the other heavenly soldiers to capture Sun Wukong, but they were no match for him. The Jade Emperor once again accepted Taibai Jinxing's advice and pretended to confer Sun Wukong the title of "The Great Sage Equal to Heaven", and handed over the Peach Garden to him. The peaches in the Immortal Peach Garden bloomed once every three thousand years, bore fruit once every three thousand years, and only ripened after another three thousand years. Sun Wukong knew that eating immortal peaches could make one become an immortal, so he ate all the immortal peaches. The Queen Mother wanted to celebrate her birthday and ordered the fairies to pick peaches to invite all the immortals. She did not invite Sun Wukong. He was very angry and made a big fuss at the banquet. He drank immortal wine and packed the wine and dishes in a bag to bring back to Huaguo Mountain. He was drunk and confused and ran into the Tushita Palace of Taishang Laojun. After eating the golden elixir in the gourd, he returned to Huaguo Mountain. The Jade Emperor was furious and ordered Heavenly King Li to lead the Heavenly Army and Heavenly Generals to capture Sun Wukong. He also sent God Erlang to help. Sun Wukong and Erlang Shen fought for hundreds of rounds and were evenly matched. Taishang Laojun secretly helped Erlang Shen capture Sun Wukong with the Vajra Bracelet. The heavenly gods tried their best to kill Sun Wukong, but they could not hurt him. The Grand Supreme Elder put him into the alchemy furnace to refine him. After 49 days, not only was he not burned to death, but he had also cultivated the Fiery Golden Eyes. He pushed down the alchemy furnace and once again attacked the Divine Wind Palace. Along the way, the Heavenly troops and generals could not stop him. The Jade Emperor was so scared that he hid. Sun Wukong returned to the Huaguo Mountain and raised the flag of the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal. Watching Journey to the West: Sun Wukong Beats the White Bone Demon Three Times is not enough.

The plot of Monkey King's Uproar in Heaven in Journey to the West showed Sun Wukong's rebellious spirit and his pursuit of freedom. At the same time, it also contained a profound philosophy of life. Judging from the image of Sun Wukong, he was a brave and fearless representative who dared to challenge authority during the Uproar in Heaven. He was born with infinite magic power. Ever since the birth of the Flowerfruit Mountain, he had been constantly exploring the world, breaking through the boundaries, finding a place for the monkey clan to live, and learning from his master to break the curse of life and death. He entered the Dragon Palace to retrieve the Golden Cudgel and made a ruckus in the netherworld to obtain the Book of Life and Death. In the face of the Heavenly Court's amnesty, he first saw through the false title of the horse, and then he was angry because he was not invited to the Peach Banquet. He fought all the way to the Soaring Heaven King Palace. He shouted out the words " the emperor will take turns to do it, and come to my house next year ", which was extremely defiant. After practicing his Fiery Eyes in the alchemy furnace, he continued to wreak havoc in the Heavenly Palace. Even the heavenly soldiers and generals were no match for him. During this period, Sun Wukong was an indomitable hero. He was not bound by the rules of the Heavenly Court and pursued freedom and equality in his own way. From a philosophical perspective, this plot reflected the idea that freedom was relative. Everyone yearned for freedom, but the kind of unlimited freedom that Sun Wukong had initially pursued did not exist in the real world. Over-pursuing unlimited freedom often led to restrictions. Sun Wukong was finally suppressed by Buddha at the foot of the Five Elements Mountain. At the same time, one could also see the drawbacks of arrogance. Sun Wukong's arrogance made him unable to see his own situation and eventually led to the fate of being suppressed. From a literary point of view, the plot of Uproar in Heaven was full of fantasy. All kinds of magical spells, fierce battle scenes, and unique mythical characters, such as Taibai Jinxing and Erlang God, added rich imagination and artistic charm to the story, making it one of the most wonderful parts of Journey to the West.
