He occupied Huaguo Mountain as the king and claimed to be the Monkey King. He fought with Tathagata Buddha and was trapped under the Five Elements Mountain for more than five hundred years. Later, under the enlightenment of Guanshiyin Bodhisattva, he protected Tang Monk from the West to retrieve the scriptures. After going through ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties, he retrieved the true scriptures and finally achieved enlightenment. He was named the Victorious Buddha.
