Great Sage Equal to Heaven Sun Wukong

"Your Majesty, do you have a more imposing title? For example, the monster who enslaved us called himself the Demon King of Havoc; that title sounds very impressive."

After Sun Wukong sat on the throne that the clan elders had prepared for him, a question suddenly popped up among the group of little monkeys.

"Name?" the one looked at with pride.

Sun Wukong stroked his chin and began to ponder.

"My name, Sun Wukong, was given to me by my master after I became his disciple. For more than ten years during my apprenticeship, I only had this one name. After I completed my studies and returned home, everyone called me Stone Monkey."

"Until just now, the chieftain ordered that based on my contributions to the Monkey Clan, I should rightfully be the king. After that, everyone hailed me as king, constantly calling me 'Great King.' So, it seems I really don't even have a resounding title."

Only then did Sun Wukong realize that he did not have the resounding name the little monkey had mentioned.

I don't have any of those impressive titles you're talking about.

Sun Wukong answered the little monkey's question, shrugged, and said helplessly.

"Your Majesty, since you don't even have a catchy name, why don't we all brainstorm and help you come up with one while we're all here?"

"After all, there's a saying among humans: three skilled craftsmen are equal to one brilliant craftsman, and we have so many monkeys here, they're worth dozens of brilliant craftsmen combined."

At this moment, the old clan chief sitting to the side spoke up and made this suggestion to Sun Wukong.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Even that Demon King of Havoc's not even as good as one of your fingers has such a resounding name. You're so much more powerful than him, how can you not even have a resounding name? It doesn't make sense, either logically or emotionally."

After the chieftain finished speaking, a little monkey immediately spoke up in agreement.

"Yes, Your Majesty, let us think of a resounding name for you."

At this point, more and more little monkeys began to chime in.

"Okay, okay, I promise you, you help me think of a catchy name, alright?"

Seeing how determined they were to come up with a catchy name for him, Sun Wukong felt embarrassed to spoil their fun and could only agree to the little monkeys' request.

After a heated discussion, the little monkeys came up with a whole bunch of names for Sun Wukong that they thought were impressive.

They came up with all sorts of strange titles, like "Immortal Method Monkey King" and "Great Monkey King of Magic," which made Sun Wukong laugh from ear to ear. However, after they had recited all the titles they wanted, they even had the nerve to ask Sun Wukong which one he wanted.

But before Sun Wukong could answer their questions, the old clan chief standing next to Sun Wukong suddenly spoke up.

"Since Your Majesty's strength transcends the Three Realms and is outside the Five Elements, and you have been granted boundless Law Power by the Heavenly Sage, then you shall be called the Great Sage Equal to Heaven."

Thanks to the old clan chief's quick thinking, he helped Sun Wukong come up with a nice and catchy name, thus freeing Sun Wukong from being tainted by the strange names the little monkeys had come up with.

"Good, this name is good. I like this name very much. As you said, Elder Clan Chief, from today onwards, my name will be the Great Sage Equal to Heaven."

Sun Wukong immediately took a liking to the name the old clan chief had suggested and readily agreed to use it.

"The Sun Wukong, Great Sage Equal to Heaven."

At that moment, a little monkey below spoke up first.

"The Sun Wukong, Great Sage Equal to Heaven!" Immediately, more and more little monkeys joined in the cheering.

"By the way, Your Majesty, we've long heard that there are immortals dwelling in the clouds above, but none of us have ever been there. Have you ever been?"

Suddenly, a little monkey spoke up.

"If you've been there, you can tell us what the immortal's dwelling is like."

Another little monkey spoke up and asked.

"To my shame, I haven't been there since I completed my apprenticeship, so I can't tell you what your relatives' residence looks like."

Sun Wukong sighed, shrugged, and said helplessly.

"Oh, what a pity."

The little monkeys were somewhat disappointed upon hearing Sun Wukong's words.

"But it's alright, I already have the ability to go to heaven and earth, so wanting to go up to the heavens and see the abode of immortals is nothing to me."

"You wait here, I'm going up there now to take a look, and I'll come back and tell you what's up there."

After speaking to the little monkeys, Sun Wukong activated his Law Power, summoned his Somersault Cloud, stepped onto it, and then maneuvered the Somersault Cloud to fly out of the Water Curtain Cave in a flash, before heading straight into the sky.

Under Sun Wukong's power-driven mindset, the Somersault Cloud was incredibly fast. In just a few breaths, it had already traversed the Somersault Cloud and reached the top of the clouds. Sun Wukong looked around and saw only one direction, emitting a huge ball of light.

Sun Wukong's intuition told him that this might be the abode of the celestial beings, so he immediately manipulated his Somersault Cloud to fly in that direction, and soon arrived at the place radiating golden light.

From a distance, it appears as a series of magnificent palaces connected together, forming a vast imperial palace.

The place where Sun Wukong came from had a huge gate with a plaque above it that read "Southern Heavenly Gate". Two heavenly soldiers stood guard on either side of the gate, each holding a weapon.

The armor of these two divine soldiers radiated golden light, as if it were forged from gold. The weapons in their hands were also of the highest quality. Standing tall and majestic like pine trees outside the Southern Heavenly Gate, they were very imposing.

"Brothers, may I ask where this place is?"

Sun Wukong saw that there were guards outside the Southern Heavenly Gate, so he went up to ask the two heavenly soldiers.

"This is the Heavenly Court, the abode of our ancestors. The ruler here is the Jade Emperor, who commands tens of thousands of heavenly soldiers and Divine Ability, as well as various powerful deities."

"But how did you, little demon, manage to get into this place?"

What are your plans for coming to our Heavenly Court?

After answering Sun Wukong's questions, the two heavenly soldiers inquired about his origins.

"I am Sun Wukong, Great Sage Equal to Heaven to Heaven, from the Water Curtain Cave of Flower-Fruit Mountain. After cultivating myself into an immortal, I wished to visit the abode of the celestial beings in heaven. I wonder if you two could do me the favor and allow me to go in for a look."

Sun Wukong didn't beat around the bush and directly stated where he was from and the purpose of his visit.

"You say you have attained immortality, so why haven't you been ranked among the immortals in our Heavenly Court? If someone in this world cultivates to become Sage, then our Heavenly Court will send someone to recruit them, inviting them to come to Heaven to become an immortal and be ranked among the immortals."
