After returning to Great Xia, Zhou Tong discussed the Dao with Xia Mangxun for over a month before finally leaving the Great Xia Capital.
It had to be said that although Xia Mangxun was terrible at Divine Demon Body Refining, he had lived for countless eons, and the Great Dao he had comprehended was far from ordinary. Many of those Daos were things Zhou Tong had never grasped. Over that month or so, Zhou Tong had benefited greatly as well.
After leaving the Great Xia Capital, Zhou Tong traveled alone throughout the Great Xia World. He experienced the myriad facets of mortal life in this world, its local customs and human sentiments, and the Great Dao of this world.
Taking heaven, earth, and nature as his model, and the many Great Daos within Star Hall of Star Picking Manor as his guide, his accumulation and comprehension of the Great Dao grew with each passing day.
During this time, he traveled through countless places in Great Xia. He visited many scenic sites Xia Mangxun had recommended, including the Nine Heavens Aurora in North Sea Commandery and the Nine-Bend Heavenly River Sunset in Mo River Commandery.
He also sought out secluded places and explored hidden mysteries. The Great Xia Dynasty had countless legends and even more opportunities. He discovered and explored more than a dozen residences left behind by deceased Celestial Immortals, greatly strengthening his foundations.
He traveled like this for fifteen years.
Then, a piece of news spread throughout all of Great Xia. The Immortal Destiny Assembly, held once every three hundred years, was being convened once again. Moreover, this Immortal Destiny Assembly would be personally presided over by Emperor Xia, Xia Mangxun, and the rewards would be ten or even a hundred times greater than those of previous assemblies.
