He left the Immortal Peach Orchard.
On his way,
he encountered a Barefoot Immortal.
It was unclear if Wukong had tricked the Barefoot Immortal, or if the Barefoot Immortal had tricked Wukong.
In any case,
the Barefoot Immortal changed his path toward the Tongming Hall,
while Wukong took the route to the Yaochi Palace, heading directly for Doushuai Temple.
Passing by, Wukong decided to take everything without hesitation—the Jade Liquid, aromatic rice wine, a variety of delicacies, and exotic dishes that the Queen Mother intended to serve to all Immortals, sweeping them clean.
Only then did he ascend to the Thirty-three Days, reaching the Doushuai Temple in Li Hen Heaven.
Upon entering, he saw no sign of the Old Lord, and no one was around.
It was either a coincidence or not a coincidence at all.
