The reason for setting out so early is because he had no intention of using the Teleportation Array, but instead planned to follow the old method and travel by steering the Spirit Boat.
First, because this time the Li family had quite a number of people—over a hundred in total—if they were to use the Teleportation Array, the Spirit Stone expense would be far too great.
It was not that the Li family did not understand etiquette and propriety, bringing so many people to the grand ceremony; in fact, among them, the vast majority would not attend the banquet. Instead, they intended to take advantage of the moment when all Immortal Tao factions gathered at Yunxia State to sell various spiritual objects refined by the family, hoping to seize the chance to make a hefty profit.
Second, among these family members, quite a few were exceptionally talented juniors—Li Debo and the others hoped that Li Zhirui could offer them guidance along the way.
