After Sun Wukong caused Havoc in Heaven and Tathagata Buddha imprisoned him beneath Five Elements Mountain, the many monkey soldiers of Flower-Fruit Mountain immediately fell into a wretched plight. With celestial troops running rampant, gods and Buddhas plundering, and demons wreaking havoc, Sun Xiaokong, a successor to Sun Wukong, steps forward. Leading the monkey soldiers and generals, he resists tyranny and defends the mountain, holds off the great powers, kills invading enemies, and fights for survival in the face of death. He creates his own spells and defeats his foes. After clashes on every front, he finally beats the bandits from all sides, enabling Flower-Fruit Mountain to stand on its own, grow strong, and hold its head high, becoming a revered paradise throughout the Three Realms.
