First Day

We hopped on the back of Xiao-Xiao and flew to the north, the direction was to a portal that will take us all the way to the depth of space.

The Heavenly Academy was of course not on this planet, but it had its own domain where it prospered.

It was in a neutral area of the Vast Expanse where none of the four major powers had any say. 

It took less than a day to arrive, and like Old Man Gin had said, not many would be there since we cleared our own trials faster than anyone.

The portal structure was simple, a massive circular warp gate that would allow transport to vast distances.

Most cultivators cannot afford to pay for the usage of such a portal, hence they use the ships to travel vast distances. However, a few eccentric cultivators, well able to afford the cost still chose to use the ships so they could travel the Vast Expanse and benefit from some opportunities that they can obtain along the road.
