Wukong found himself unable to defeat the old Daoist, and to avoid any unforeseen mishaps, he was forced to flee using an escape technique.
When a Great Dao Sage employs an escape technique, they can blink across billions of miles in an instant, let alone when they use the Reincarnation World for flight. Over these three years, Wukong had flown countless googol light-years. If a Heavenly Dao Saint were to undertake such a flight, it's hard to know how long it would take.
"Phew!" Wukong exhaled deeply, "As the Turning Wheel Sage King, I thought I was invincible under the heavens, with one quadrillion two hundred and ninety-six billion Primordial Spirit Thoughts. Unexpectedly, this old Daoist is even more formidable, incredibly powerful. Despite being ambushed by my Seven Treasures Dharma Wheel, he's still ferocious, matching me blow for blow, making it difficult to resolve our battle."
