Although the young monkey admires the Buddha's prowess, he sympathizes with his suffering. The Buddha recounts how, after consuming peaches, celestial wine, and immortality pills, his body became indestructible. Imprisoned in Taishang Laojun's Eight Trigrams Furnace for 49 days, Sun Wukong emerges unharmed with fiery golden eyes. He escapes and wreaks havoc in heaven until the Buddha of the West subdues him and traps him under the Wuzhi Mountain for 500 years.
