Listening to the Elder Monkey's words, he felt utterly confused, yet it seemed like he vaguely grasped something important.

"Immortals live forever. They possess the power to create heaven and earth, move mountains and fill the sea. They may dwell in the temples of the heavens, or hide among the mountain ranges."
The Elder Monkey paused and took another look at the Monkey King before saying, "Monkey King, do you think you can climb to heaven?"
