On the next day the Monkey King climbed on a wooden raft all by himself, and floated across the ocean, passing the capital province of Southern Shan, during the many years of travel he searched everywhere, but did not have much luck; once again he crossed over the western sea, until reaching the boundaries of the Xi Niu He province.

Ascending the shore and inquiring repeatedly, he still did not meet any Immortals, once again after trudging a long distance, the Monkey King arrived at a tall mountain, and saw that at the edge of a deep and secluded forest there was a fairy cave, on a stone tablet of a precipice there was a line of large characters, which read "Spirit Terrace of the Fang Cun Mountain, Slanting Moon and Three Stars Cave".

Because the Monkey King saw that the cave door was tightly shut, there was no alternative but to stand on guard outside the cave and wait. After a long time the cave door opened, and out walked a servant of the Immortals, asking, "My Enlightened Master said that a follower has arrived from afar, I believe that it must be you?" The Monkey King replied, "It's me, it's me."

He followed the servant of the Immortals to pay respect to the master. The master pitied him because he had no father and no mother, also he had no name, furthermore, seeing that he walked around like a fruit-eating monkey, the master called to him using the surname "Sun", and gave him the name "Wu Kong".

After being accepted by the master, the master ordered him to accompany a group of fellow students to sweep the grounds and hoe the garden on a daily basis, to care for the flowers and cultivate the trees, to chop firewood and set up cooking fires, to carry water and transport sauces. Wu Kong was industrious in looking after these things, he was never careless, and for seven years he continued in this way.
