The author was Wu Chengen of the Ming Dynasty. The plot of "Uproar in Heaven" in the novel vividly depicted the story of Sun Wukong, who was dissatisfied with the Heavenly Court's policy of appeasement. After thinking that he had been deceived and despised, he raised the banner of "The Great Sage, Heaven's Equal" to openly oppose the Heavenly Court. 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. When he rushed out of the alchemy furnace again, he even beat the gods of the Heavenly Court in an awe-inspiring manner.

Uproar in Heaven Sun WukongSun Wukong wreaking havoc in the Heavenly Palace was an extremely exciting and important plot in Journey to the West.
Sun Wukong first went to the East Ocean Dragon Palace to borrow a treasure and obtained the Ruyi Golden Cudgel. Then, he went to the Sen Luo Temple in the Nether World to forcefully cancel the Life and Death Book, and wiped out all the famous people like himself and the monkeys. After the Dragon King and the King of Hell complained, the Jade Emperor wanted to arrest him. Taibai Jinxing suggested that he be released and granted him the title of Rima Wen. Sun Wukong was furious when he learned the meaning of Rima Wen. He opened the Southern Heavenly Gate and returned to Huaguo Mountain, raising the banner of "The Great Sage, Heaven's Equal". The Jade Emperor sent Li Jing and Nezha to capture him, but he was defeated by Sun Wukong. The Jade Emperor offered amnesty again. After Sun Wukong became the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal, he managed the peach garden and ate all the ripe peaches. He was not invited to the Heavenly Peach Banquet by the Queen Mother, so he disguised himself as a barefoot immortal and sneaked into the Jade Pool to drink the immortal wine. He got drunk and broke into the Tushita Palace of the Supreme Lord to eat the Golden Elixir. After causing trouble, he returned to the Flower and Fruit Mountain. Guanyin Bodhisattva sent Hui An to investigate the military situation. Hui An failed, and Heavenly King Li asked for help. Guanyin recommended Erlang God to participate in the battle. The two fought with wisdom and courage. Sun Wukong gradually lost the upper hand. Taishang Laojun hit his head with the diamond chakram, and Xiao Tianquan bit his leg. Finally, he was captured. After being captured, he was not killed by knives, axes, lightning, and fire. He was locked in the Eight Trigrams Furnace to be refined, but he became a Fiery Eyes. After the furnace was knocked down, he continued to fight. The Jade Emperor had no choice but to ask the Buddha to surrender. In the end, he was suppressed by the Buddha at the foot of the Five Elements Mountain. The immortals and Buddhas held the "Antian Meeting" to celebrate their victory.
To some extent, this plot reflected the outbreak of social contradictions and the strong sense of class resistance. In the process of causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace, Sun Wukong did not fight to the Soaring Heaven King Palace to see the Jade Emperor. He only fought to the side hall and was stopped in a stalemate. The Jade Emperor felt that it was too noisy, so he issued an edict to invite Buddha. The 100,000 Heavenly troops were under the command of Li Tianwang, while the rest of the troops had not received any orders or were deliberately avoiding the battle. In addition, after Sun Wukong wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace, Patriarch Bodhi was not harmed. Firstly, it was because Patriarch Bodhi's dojo was under the eyes of the West Ox Hezhou Buddha. Secondly, the cultivation method he taught Sun Wukong was powerful. It was obvious that Patriarch Bodhi had a deep foundation. Moreover, part of the reason why the Jade Emperor and the others were polite to Sun Wukong was that they considered that he might have a big shot like Patriarch Bodhi behind him.
