As the Silver Fox (Xia Zi Tong) and Sun Wu Kong (Donnie Yen) grow, their affection for each other grows as do their powers. It is an event that will come back to haunt both the fox and the monkey as the Demon King will use them both in his insidious plans to conquer heaven. She enlists the aid of the Buffalo Demon King to use his power to break open the crystal and release the monkey.

There it sits until a kit fox discovers it glowing in a mountain crevice. That single crystal plummets to Earth, landing on Mount Huagao – The Mountain of Flowers and Fruit. She gives every crystal of her being to rebuild and fortify Heaven - all but one. A beautiful princess sacrifices herself by restoring it and building an impenetrable wall around Heaven from crystals from her own body. In the process the Heavenly Palace is virtually destroyed. He opens the story with an epic battle in Heaven where the forces of the Jade Emperor (Chow Yun Fat) turn back the invading Demon Buffalo King (Aaron Kwok), banishing him to Earth. Played by a major Western actor, the Old Sage serves as the narrator of our tale. The monk is the current keeper of a hundred painted scrolls, each describing an event in the Monkey King’s life. He tells the tale to two children, one Chinese, the other from the West who come across the monk in a cave on a remote mountainside above the Eastern Ocean. In English the The Monkey King 'The Legend Begins', the legendary creation of The Monkey King is told by an Old Sage, a Western monk who traveled from Europe to China in the 7th Century. This is a classic story of the responsibilities of power, acquiring true wisdom and finding redemption through sacrifice.
