To make sure he and his beau monkeys would never die, he erased their names from the Book of Life and Death, leading to the Jade Emperor to offer him a identify among the gods to end Wukong from becoming too dangerous.

Unfortunately, the job is the lowest ranking possible, caused Wukong to ally with the demons on Earth to fight Sky, forced the deities to promote him as "The Neat Sage Equal to Heaven", unknown that information technology was simply by name. Upon not being invited to a purple banquet, Wukong again rebelled, stole peaches, pills, and wine that would go on his immortality, and fought 100,000 Celestial Warriors.

He was eventually defeated and imprisoned within Taishang Laojun's furnace, only once they believed him to be expressionless and opened the furnace, he escaped with the ability to recognize any evil that the burn within the furnace gave him.

Although this is out of noble intents, Wukong took things too far to the indicate that he kills all the hunters (who all are humans and may have family unit) while he could easily just scare them away and forestall them from ever returning to his cave.

Also, he committed killing the robbers twice, once more, while this is out of noble intents of protecting his master, it's still somewhat considered a villainous act as Wukong could just easily scare them away or send them to the authorities. During his third encounter with a gang of robbers who had just robbed the House of Kou (where Xuanzang'south political party was but visited and stayed for half of a calendar month), Wukong finally learned his lessons and let them go free afterwards taking back all the stuffs that they took from Mr. Kou instead of killing them.

Later the journeying has been succeeded, Wukong had purged himself out of all of his evil, and finally received Buddhahood every bit a issue.
