In the Huaguo Mountain of Aolai Country in the East Sea, there is a divine stone that has existed since the beginning of heaven and earth. After tens of thousands of years under wind and sun, nourished by the essence of the sun and moon, it gives birth to a clever stone monkey. Somewhere along the way, he learns extraordinary abilities, enters the East Sea, storms the underworld, and wreaks havoc in Heaven. The Buddha Tathagata from the Western Paradise subdues him and presses him beneath Five Finger Mountain for five hundred years. Later, Guanyin enlightens him, and he accompanies the monk Xuanzang on a journey to the Western Heaven to obtain the scriptures.
After fourteen years, the master and his disciples endure countless hardships and dangers before finally obtaining the true scriptures and saving all beings. They should have returned to Spirit Mountain to receive their titles, but for some unknown reason, every Buddha on Spirit Mountain vanishes overnight, leaving not a trace behind.
