Chapter 4: Havoc in Heaven
Sun Wukong's abilities became stronger and stronger, and his fame spread to the Heavenly Court. The Jade Emperor sent someone to Flower-Fruit Mountain to recruit Sun Wukong and make him a minor official called the Keeper of the Heavenly Horses. Sun Wukong thought this was an important position and happily accepted.
But when he learned that the Keeper of the Heavenly Horses was just a small official who took care of horses, he was very angry. He immediately returned to Flower-Fruit Mountain and declared himself the "Great Sage Equal to Heaven." The Jade Emperor was furious and sent 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals to capture Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong was not afraid at all. He waved his golden rod and fought fiercely with the heavenly troops. His magical powers were great, and he defeated all the heavenly gods, even reaching the South Gate of Heaven. The Jade Emperor had no choice but to officially title Sun Wukong the "Great Sage Equal to Heaven" and let him manage the Peach Garden.
