After persuading the disciples of Wuzhuang Temple, Sun Wukong arrived at the White Dragon Palace where Ao Luan resided at the bottom of the sea.
His appearance startled the entire palace filled with shrimp soldiers, crab generals, and Jade Shrimp Palace maids, all of whom came forward to salute him, addressing him as 'Great King'.
These sea demons were subjects of Ao Luan, belonging to Huaguo Mountain, and naturally regarded Sun Wukong as their king.
Besides them, the descendants of dragons who studied at Huaguo Mountain and stayed at the White Dragon Palace also heard the noise and came out to pay their respects.
"What brings the Great King here today?"
Ao Moang asked.
Having learned a great deal by Sun Wukong's side, and in recent years working at Huaguo Mountain, he hoped to apply what he learned and gain practical experience, in hopes of returning to the West Sea soon.
Sun Wukong replied, "I am here waiting for the Dragon King."
