The return to the Golden Dao realm was easier for Steelmind. What should've taken more than a few decades with five total teleportations was cut down to two teleportations thanks to the two Voidgates in between.
From the Spirit Blossom Realm, he used the Voidgate under the Wood God to arrive at the outskirts of the Medicine World, from where he waited a few years to teleport to the Silver Soul Realm.
He could've used his newfound status to make the workers activate the teleportation formation immediately but chose not to, as there was no hurry.
He only had to wait six years to arrive at the Silver Soul Realm, where he found the Voidgate protected by the Hell Emperor's people. From there, he quickly arrived at the Five Elements Realm, now known as the Formation Monarch's Realm.
From there, he teleported to the Golden Dao Realm, arriving home in less than twenty years.
