In the past, before the heaven and earth were separated, there was a chaos. There was a stone monkey named Wukong. Since the beginning of the universe, he absorbed the essence of heaven and earth, experienced countless calamities, and finally became the Fighting Buddha. However, the world is impermanent, and the Buddha's heart is also unpredictable. One day, Wukong suddenly felt the surge of the inner demon, as if there was a strange phenomenon outside the three realms, called "color aggregate".

The color element is the form of all things. All colors in the world are born from it. It is invisible and formless, but it is everywhere, and it can confuse people's minds and disrupt their divinity. Wukong knew that this demon was not trivial, and was afraid that it would cause trouble in the three realms, so he decided to enter the realm alone to correct Buddhism, eliminate the demon and defend the way.

Wukong rode the clouds and flew thousands of miles in an instant, reaching the realm of color. But he saw that the place was full of clouds and mist, colorful and magnificent, not like the human world. Wukong knew that this was an illusion, so he closed his eyes and concentrated his mind, and suddenly felt that everything was silent, and only his heart remained. So he used his supernatural powers and shouted: "Hey! Who is this demon who dares to confuse people here!"

After he finished speaking, a female figure slowly appeared in the void. Her beauty was stunning and unparalleled in the world. The woman chuckled, her voice like a silver bell, and said, "Why did Great Sage come here? Could it be that you are also attracted by my beauty?" Wukong was unmoved. He held the golden hoop tightly in his hand and sneered, "Evil spirit, please stop trying to flatter me. I am the Fighting and Victory Buddha. How can I be moved by a mere beauty? Quickly show your true form and take my blow!"

The woman smiled even more when she heard this, and her body shape suddenly changed, turning into thousands of colors, overwhelming the sky and earth. Seeing this, Wukong suddenly jumped up, and the golden hoop turned into thousands of lights and shadows, interweaving with the color essence. It seemed that only these two forces were left in the world, colliding fiercely.

When the battle was at its most intense, Wukong suddenly felt uneasy, as if thousands of thoughts flooded into his mind, all of which were past events, joys and sorrows, love and hate. He knew something was wrong, because this was the power of the color element, which could induce a person to dream, make him forget his true self, and sink into delusion.

Wukong calmed his mind and chanted the Buddha's name silently, trying to dispel the distracting thoughts in his mind. However, the power of the form aggregate became stronger and stronger, as if it was going to swallow him up completely. At this critical moment, Wukong suddenly remembered the teachings of his master Tang Monk: "The mind is free of worries, and without worries, there is no fear, and it is far away from upside-down dreams." He suddenly realized that the reason why the form aggregate is so powerful is because sentient beings have attachments in their hearts. Attachment leads to fear, and fear leads to demons.

So, Wukong let go of all his obsessions and swung his golden cudgel for the last time. A golden light streaked across the sky and pierced through the heart of Color Yun. The woman's figure disappeared, and the myriad colors returned to nothingness, and the realm of Color Yun also collapsed.

Wukong stood in the void, looking at the three realms below which were gradually returning to peace, feeling a thousand emotions in his heart. He knew very well that although he had won this battle, the temptations in the world were endless, and only by maintaining a pure heart could he not be disturbed by external things.

From then on, Wukong practiced Buddhism more diligently and used his own power to protect the peace of the three realms. The battle of the color element also became a legendary story, which was passed down to the world, warning future generations not to be confused by the color and not to fall into the path of the devil.

Wukong returned to Lingshan and met the Buddha. He bowed and saluted, and told the story of the battle of the form aggregate. The Buddha smiled, his eyes were as bright as torches, and praised him: "Wukong, you have returned from this catastrophe with a better mind than before. It is a blessing for our Buddhist sect."

Wukong said humbly: "I can only overcome the form aggregate by relying on the master's teachings and my own practice. However, there are many temptations in the world, and I am afraid that I am not strong enough. I hope the Buddha can guide me."

The Buddha nodded and said, "Wukong, you already know that the source of inner demons lies in obsession. This is great enlightenment. However, everything in the world has its own rules, and obsession is not completely useless. The key is how to control it and make it a help to practice, rather than an obstacle."

After he finished speaking, the Buddha tapped his finger lightly, and a golden light sank into Wukong's forehead. Wukong felt his mind suddenly become clear, and countless Buddhist truths came flooding in like a tide, integrating with his own cultivation, and his realm reached a new height.

"This is the essence of the Heart Sutra, which can help you understand your mind and nature and get rid of all illusions," said the Buddha. "You need to recite it from time to time and understand its true meaning, so that you can truly control the demons in your heart and protect the righteous path."

Wukong was so grateful that he knelt down to thank him. From then on, he devoted himself to practice, not only improving his martial arts, but also his Buddhist practice. He often traveled around the world, using Buddhism to save sentient beings and save them from suffering.

The battle of the color element also became an important milestone in his spiritual practice. Whenever it was late at night, Wukong would recall the thrilling battle and the illusion and temptation behind the woman's stunning appearance. He knew that only by keeping a pure and untainted heart could he find his own way and stick to his beliefs in this complex world.

As time goes by, the name Wukong is not only the title of a legendary hero, but also a symbol of spirit. He tells the world with his actions: no matter what kind of temptations and challenges you face, as long as you have light in your heart, you can illuminate the way forward; as long as you have firm beliefs, you can overcome all difficulties and setbacks.

Thus, in countless reincarnations, Wukong's story has been passed down from generation to generation. His image has been depicted in murals, sculptures, and books, becoming an immortal legend. And his consistent, pure and untainted heart has also become the highest realm pursued by practitioners in later generations.

As time went by, a saying gradually spread among the three realms, saying that Wukong was not only a fighting Buddha who defeated demons, but also a spiritual mentor who could lead all living beings to transcend the sea of ​​suffering. Many practitioners came here in pursuit of his reputation, eager to receive his guidance and teachings.

Wukong was well aware of the weight of this responsibility. He was not burdened by his fame, but became more humble and cautious. He opened a lecture hall and lectured on Buddhism every day, from the basic Heart Sutra to the profound Prajna wisdom. His explanations not only benefited the practitioners present, but also made all sentient beings in the three realms feel the warmth and power of Buddhism.

Under his guidance, more and more creatures began to let go of their obsessions and pursue inner peace and liberation. They learned how to face the hardships and challenges in life and how to keep a pure and untainted heart in a complex world. All these changes came from Wukong's consistent Buddhist heart.

However, there are always injustices in the three realms. One day, Wukong learned that there was a remote place that was shrouded by a powerful evil force, and the people were suffering. He knew that he could not just sit there and watch, so he decided to go to rescue it.

On the way, Wukong met all kinds of creatures, including monsters lost in hatred, mortals struggling in despair, and immortals corrupted by greed. They each had different stories and pains, but under Wukong's guidance, they all found inner light and hope.

Finally, Wukong came to the land shrouded by evil forces. He used his magical powers to fight against the force fiercely. In this battle, he not only showed extraordinary martial arts and wisdom, but also influenced many creatures that were originally controlled by evil with his compassionate heart.

After a hard battle, Wukong finally defeated the evil forces and saved the people on that land. They cheered and shed tears of gratitude, kneeling before Wukong and calling him the savior.

However, Wukong just smiled faintly and said: "I am not a savior, but just one of the sentient beings. What can really save you is the strength and faith in your own heart. I hope that from now on, you can cherish this hard-earned peace and tranquility, practice Buddhism with all your heart, and jointly protect this beautiful world."

After saying this, Wukong turned and left, continuing his path of cultivation. His figure gradually faded away, but his teachings and spirit remained forever on this land, inspiring later practitioners to keep moving forward. And Wukong's name and deeds, like bright stars, will always shine in the long river of history of the Three Realms.
