00:00In the eastern realm of the world, there was a magic stone that gathered the essence of
00:16heaven and earth.
00:18One day, amidst an uproar of lightning and thunder, the stone burst open, giving birth
00:24to a stone monkey.
00:27He frolicked with his fellow monkeys, enjoying a carefree life.
00:33One day, the monkey stumbled upon a waterfall emanating a mysterious glow.
00:38The stone monkey ventured behind the waterfall, where he discovered a huge rock inscribed
00:44with the words Flower Fruit Mountain.
00:47He had since settled down there with his fellow monkeys, proclaiming himself the Monkey King.
00:54The stone flies and the desire of pursuing immortality came to his mind.
00:59Eventually, he embarked on a perilous journey.
01:04After traversing the boundless seas, he finally reached his destination, home to the legendary
01:10master body.
01:15The sage accepted the Monkey King as his disciple.
01:19From now on, you shall be called Sun Wukong.
01:26As the seasons cycled through spring, summer, autumn, and winter, Wukong was taught the
01:32art of cloudsurfing, enabling him to travel vast distances in a single somersault, as
01:38well as the 72 Transfigurations.
01:42After two decades of unremitting training, the time finally came for him to bid farewell
01:47to his master.
