After Sun Wukong obtained the true scriptures and was named the “Victorious Fighting Buddha,” he continued to wonder: what did it truly mean to become a Buddha?
So he returned to the path of cultivation and entered the mysterious Ninefold Realm.
Its laws were unlike those of the mortal world. Beyond strength, one also needed to break through the limits of one's state of mind.
Through a succession of trials, from low-ranking realm spirits to ancient powerhouses, Wukong pursued the limits of the “Victorious Fighting Buddha” while also exploring the mysteries of “freedom.”
To find his true self, Wukong transmigrated through parallel worlds of time, reincarnation, and the mind. Having faced trials of the spirit and reached new awakenings, he gradually approached the heart of the universe's mysteries.
What, then, is the true meaning of becoming a Buddha?
