First of all, we have to understand that Sun Wukong's skills are not unlimited. Although he has the superpowers of Seventy-Two Transformations and Turning Stars, these abilities have certain rules and limitations. In "Journey to the West", Sun Wukong's ability to change is controlled by his cultivation and cultivation. When he was crushed under the Five Elements Mountain, he lost most of his strength and freedom, which also included his ability to change.
Secondly, the suppression under the Five Elements Mountain is not just physical. From the perspective of occultism, it is not only Sun Wukong's body that is suppressed under the Five Elements Mountain, but also his soul and cultivation. This is a kind of spiritual suppression that is more powerful than physical suppression, making it impossible for Sun Wukong to exert his full ability.
Moreover, as a high-level god in "Journey to the West", Rulai's strength and wisdom are incomparable. His suppression of the Monkey King was well thought out, taking into account not only Monkey King's abilities, but also his character and mentality. Therefore, even if Sun Wukong has the ability to change, Rulai can adjust the way of suppression, so that Sun Wukong cannot use this ability.
We can also consider this issue in terms of the theme and meaning of "Journey to the West". As a classic work depicting human nature, morality, and spiritual practice, "Journey to the West" emphasizes external tribulations and inner struggles. Sun Wukong was crushed under the Five Elements Mountain, which is the embodiment of this theme. His predicament is not only a physical limitation for him, but also a spiritual sharpening and testing for him. This process also symbolizes the dilemmas and setbacks in life, which we cannot rely on our own strength to escape, but need to face and solve.
In general, there are many reasons why Sun Wukong in "Journey to the West" was crushed under the Five Elements Mountain and could not transform himself. is not only limited by his ability, but also suppressed by Rulai, but also reflects the theme and meaning of "Journey to the West". It's a deeply rooted storyline that makes us feel sympathy for what happened to the Monkey King, and it also gives us a deeper understanding of the classic "Journey to the West".
