Wukong was feasting and drinking merrily with brothers Ox Demon King and Jiao Demon King within the Water Curtain Cave. Every day after drinking, they would spar, benefiting greatly from the practice over time.
One day, having had his fill of liquor, Wukong sat down cross-legged and began meditating, cultivating the "Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Transformations". Meanwhile, the Primordial Spirit that Yuan Hong had bestowed upon him was also growing gradually. This Primordial Spirit was still too fragile to practice cultivation techniques, so he breathed out Congenital True Qi onto it from his own Primordial Spirit, quickening its growth with each breath.
Suddenly, Wukong saw two figures, one black and one white, approaching him with a writ in hand, bearing the characters "Sun Wukong".
Wukong instantly became alert, realizing that these emissaries of Black and White Impermanence had arrived to seize his soul. Without further ado, they produced a chain and bound Wukong's soul.
