The Monkey King's Secret Plan | Journey to the West-- Chapter 5.1

The Monkey King has finally been recognized as the Great Sage Equal to Heaven and now roams freely throughout the Celestial Realm.

To give him an official responsibility, the Jade Emperor appoints him as the guardian of the Heavenly Peach Garden. Surrounded by magical peaches that grant longevity and immortality, Wukong's curiosity soon gets the better of him.

When he discovers that every immortal has been invited to the Grand Peach Banquet—except himself—he devises one of the cleverest disguises in Journey to the West: transforming himself into the Barefoot Immortal to enter the heavenly feast unnoticed.
