During the three-month journey that followed, Chen Xuan spent the vast majority of his time cultivating inside the Eight-Department Pagoda, in addition to receiving guidance from Gu Chenxiao and Ling Su alongside Ji Tingsha.
As the twelve-winged silver eagle carried the four of them toward the Ember Wasteland, they did not encounter any pursuit from the experts dispatched by the Sacred Martial Empire. Who could have imagined that the master-disciple duo of fugitives, Gu Chenxiao and Chen Xuan, would not only refrain from fleeing the Heavenly Martial Realm but would instead dare to ascend to its main star?
Although the Sacred Martial Empire was the most powerful force in the Heavenly Martial Realm, with immense national strength and countless experts, even with such vast human and material resources, it was impossible to blanket an entire high-level realm. Searching just the four auxiliary stars alone would take over a year. Consequently, there were few search parties on the main star. After a year passed without finding a trace of Chen Xuan and Gu Chenxiao on the auxiliary stars, the Sacred Martial Empire's Wuying Department and the Military Department could only conclude that the master and disciple had long since departed the Heavenly Martial Realm.
