Summary:
Long long ago, a little Monkey was born from an old magic stone which suddenly cracked open after lying in the sunlight and moonlight for thousands of years. Although he was an orphan, the Little Monkey was extremely talented. Fortunately, the Monkey King in the mountain adopted him. Little Monkey was very naughty and playful. One day he accidently fell down from the tree. While trying to save his life, the Monkey King got injured and lost consciousness. In order to help the Monkey King recover, the Little Monkey overcame many obstacles and got on his journey to search for the immortal pill on the other side of the ocean. During his journey, with the help from the Immortal Turtle, the Phoenix, the Dragon King and the Immortal, the Little Monkey gained a powerful body. Could he eventually save the life of the Monkey King?
