It takes about two months to travel to the State Capital, not because the distance is incredibly far, but because finding the way is quite troublesome. There's no navigation or the charming reminders of Sister Zhiling to drift left at the next intersection, so Yuchi had to feel his way from one waypoint to the next, and it's still easy to go the wrong way.
Then, seven days after leaving the Ascension Gate, Yuchi landed on the ground, buried a piece of immortal jade in an unpopulated area, and then returned to the Ascension Gate once again.
It wasn't purely to help Yinghan with her training; it was because the situation at Ascension Gate was becoming increasingly uncontrollable.
Seven days ago, the Ascension Gate was just experiencing a hailstorm. Hail is usually a minor issue, and Yuchi initially thought it would dissipate in a day. However, it turned out not to be the case; the hail didn't disappear, and the weather became increasingly severe.
