Immortal Yang Mei abandoned his physical body in the end and headed to the Creation World, while Wukong was gravely injured.
Healing this time took a full hundred years, and only then were all injuries fully mended, and Wukong's body became flawless once more.
"Good, I've recovered, and my Mana is even a bit stronger than before! Excellent!" Wukong stood up, taking in a deep breath.
Even Wukong, with the help of five Great Dao Sages, spent a whole hundred years. A normal person would have died long ago from the self-destructive power of their own body; only Wukong, who had achieved the status of Turning Wheel Sage King and cultivated the Sage King Golden Body, could wield such methods.
"Congratulations, Sage King, on restoring your peak condition!" said the four Protector Heavenly Kings.
"Very well, I will delegate the Fighting Sage King to lead the four of you in practicing Buddhist Law," Wukong said with dispassion.
