Five hundred years ago, the Monkey King and Marshal Tianpeng clashed in a fierce battle within the Celestial Palace. From the remnants of their conflict, seven spirit pearls descended to the mortal realm, transforming into seven sworn siblings. Now, as celestial storms rise once more, the martial world is thrown into chaos.
In the Celestial Palace, Chang’e plots to steal the Moonlight Box, hoping to end her thousand-year solitude. Marshal Tianpeng vows to claim the box for his beloved. But Sun Wukong has already stolen it from Master Jiugong, intending to elope with Zixia. During their time together, he casually utters the monkey phrase “Ya Shi Xiu Ku” - a saying rich with hidden meaning. As three forces collide, Heaven descends into disorder. Enraged, Master Jiugong transforms into Lord Void and descends to the mortal realm, seeking vengeance.
The mortal martial world is in turmoil. The eldest sister, Yi Jiu Yun, is captured by the Peach Blossom Immortal and forced to practice dark arts, absorbing the essence of villagers and becoming a public enemy. In response, the martial world convenes a demon-subduing assembly. The spider demon Chun Sanniang declares: whoever can stare into her eyes for seven seconds shall marry her. Meanwhile, the Bull Demon King disguises himself to sow chaos, making it impossible to distinguish the true Monkey King from the impostors. Amid the confusion, Sun Xiaotian emerges as the sole victor.
Nine Claws’ true identity is revealed—she is the incarnation of Marshal Tianpeng’s lost Nine-Tooth Rake. She forms a new scripture-seeking team with Sun Xiaotian and Jiang Liu’er, and shares the cryptic phrase “Ya Shi Xiu Ku” with the White Snake demon Bai Ling. As two groups journey forward in parallel, the path ahead grows increasingly mysterious.
Si Lianhuan and Bai Jingjing ascend Five Finger Mountain to rescue Sun Wukong.
The former Great Sage has lost his powers, Liangtouteng is plagued by self-doubt, and Lord Void secretly plots his revenge. In a moment of desperation, the seven spirit pearls reappear, unleashing a mysterious and powerful force.
This is a story of identity and self-discovery. In a world where truth and illusion blur, each character embarks on a journey to uncover their true self: Nine Claws transforms from a weapon into an independent being; Sun Xiaotian searches for authenticity amid deception; Chun Sanniang wrestles with the conflict between her demon nature and human emotion; Jiang Liu’er redefines his purpose; Sun Wukong reexamines what it means to be a hero; and Marshal Tianpeng faces a choice between love and duty. As the seven spirit pearls unite, heroes rise—and the battle for the survival of the three realms begins.
