Unlike their last journey, the journey to the floating Ajanta Island was quite substantial. They spent more than a week traveling west. They were constantly reminded how large the continent was.
Despite their remarkable speed, they needed many days of traveling to reach their location.
Rui knew that there were means of transportation that allowed nations to match the speed of Martial Artists, however, he also knew that these means of transportation weren't the norm. The norm was normal standard carriages pulled by relatively normal creatures or engines fueled by some esoteric substance.
The upper class of human civilization was able to engage in travel across vast expanses thanks to these solutions and means.
However, even they were limited, ultimately. This was very different from his previous life in which a flight or two could take you around the world.
