This chapter describes Wukong's experience of becoming an official. The purpose of appointing an official in Tiangong is to put an end to troubles, and Wukong wants to be a powerful official or to change the world for fun. The starting points of the two are very different, so conflicts arise, and the story is exciting. On this day, the Jade Emperor summoned all the civil and military officials in the Lingxiao Palace, and unexpectedly received memorials one after another from Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, and Qin Guang King of the Netherworld, all of which reported on Wukong. The Jade Emperor asked: "When was this monster monkey born, how could he be so powerful?" As soon as he finished speaking, the clairvoyant said: "This is a natural stone monkey three hundred years ago. I didn't think so at the time, but I didn't expect that it has become an immortal." The Jade Emperor nodded and said, "Who is willing to go down to the next world to subdue the monster monkey?" As soon as he finished speaking, Taibai Jinxing knelt down and said, "This monkey was born from heaven and earth, and now it has become an immortal.

There are seventy-two treasure halls, surrounded by purple energy. On the roadside, there are famous flowers that have lasted for thousands of years; beside the medicine refining furnace, there are auspicious grasses that have been evergreen for thousands of years. All kinds of rare treasures are rare in the world, and Wukong is naturally very happy. Taibai Jinxing realized that Wukong went to the Lingxiao Palace, saluted the Jade Emperor and said: "I have brought this monkey with the imperial edict." The Jade Emperor asked: "Which one is the demon?" Wukong did not pay homage, and said straightly: "My grandson is it!" All civil and military officials said that he was rude, but the Jade Emperor was not annoyed. He just came to see if there were any official vacancies. Wu Quxing said: "Only the Royal Horse Prison lacks a master." The Jade Emperor made Wukong "Bi Mawen". When Wukong came to the Royal Horse Prison, he saw more than a thousand Pegasus horses, all of which were extraordinary handsome. He took a group of officials, big and small, to wash the horses, cut grass, and feed them every day. Unexpectedly, more than half a month passed, and Wukong raised these Pegasus horses to become more and more powerful. On this day, the officials of the Royal Horse Supervisor arranged a banquet, both to welcome Wukong and to celebrate. While he was drinking happily, Wukong suddenly asked: "What rank is my Bi Ma Wen?" Everyone said: "No rank." Wukong said: "No rank, that must be a great one." Everyone said: "Not big, not big, just a low-ranking official. Every day
