Zhou Tong wandered alone on the land of Big Dipper for more than half a year, retracing all the paths he had walked in the past and reflecting on his past experiences, before finally arriving at the Mysterious Scholar Mansion in Central Plains.

He walked straight into the gate of the Mysterious Scholar Mansion, as he had many questions he wanted to ask the Old Mansion Lord.

Yan Ruyu has spent most of his time in seclusion on the Sun Star in recent years, so he knows little about what has happened in the Big Dipper. Zhang Wenchang and the others are also too weak in cultivation and know too little. Yan Ruyu himself is also reflecting on the past and has not bothered to learn about those things.

"Hmm? This person looks familiar. Who is he?"

Some of the young talents in the Mysterious Scholar Mansion suddenly looked at Zhou Tong, showing some surprise.

"This... isn't this Zhou Tong, the Hegemon Body? Rumor has it that he went to the Ancient Starry Road, how come he suddenly appeared here?" Someone recognized Zhou Tong and exclaimed in surprise.

"That's not right... Legend has it that after embarking on the Ancient Starry Road, one needs at least the combat power of Great Sage to return. It's only been a little over a hundred years, how come he already has that kind of combat power?"

But the moment they recognized him, everyone was astonished, causing a commotion. Everyone looked over, their faces showing disbelief. Someone long forgotten, someone who had vanished into legend, had suddenly reappeared?

"It really is him... He actually returned from the depths of space!!"

Within the Mysterious Scholar Mansion, there were many prodigies of Zhou Tong's generation. Upon seeing Zhou Tong, they couldn't help but feel bitter; the gap between them was simply too vast. He had returned from the Ancient Starry Road and was very likely already possessing the combat power of Great Sage. Judging solely from their cultivation levels, they were practically two, or even three, generations apart.

From the deepest part of the Mysterious Scholar Mansion, an old man draped in feathered robes emerged, exclaiming in surprise, "Zhou Tong, it really is you! You've actually come back!"

This person was the senior I had met once before at the Jade Pool Holy Land.

"Senior, where is the Old Mansion Lord?" Zhou Tong asked.

"The Old Mansion Lord recently entered the depths of the starry sky, and we don't know where he went!" The old man in the feathered robe answered Zhou Tong's question solemnly.

Zhou Tong's ability to return from the Ancient Starry Road speaks volumes. Those who haven't yet achieved sainthood naturally treat this with utmost care.

"I want to know, what has happened in the past hundred years? Have any special figures appeared?" Zhou Tong quickly asked this question that he was most concerned about.

The old man in feathered robes was taken aback, but then said, "Since you left, those Imperial Son have also set off one after another, leaving Big Dipper. Since then, Big Dipper has basically become a battleground for geniuses from beyond the realm."

He first mentioned another Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body.

Decades after Zhou Tong's departure, another Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body descended upon this place. He was domineering and unparalleled, his might shook the Big Dipper, and he killed all his peers in the Big Dipper without any rivals. Few other talents from beyond the realm could match him either.

The unparalleled physique of the Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body once again shocked the entire Big Dipper.

"Hun Zhan actually came here?" Zhou Tong was also surprised. He didn't expect that the Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body, who hadn't even stepped onto the Human Ancient Road and had been defeated by him, would actually come to Big Dipper!

"That's right, that person is called Hun Zhan." The old man in feathered robes was surprised, not expecting Zhou Tong to recognize this person.

"I sent him back from the Ancient Starry Road, but I never expected him to come to the Big Dipper." Zhou Tong's answer left the old man in feather robes speechless.

After a long silence, the old man in feathered robes sighed, "I never expected that the loser of the ancient road would have such fighting power. However, he also left Big Dipper more than ten years ago."

"However, having been baptized by both you and Hun Zhan, who both Hegemon Body, the Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body Physique is already quite famous throughout the entire Big Dipper. Many people even regard the Hegemon Body as a physique that surpasses the Primordial Sacred Body."

Zhou Tong roughly guessed what Hun Zhan had done. As the rightful successor of the Hegemon Body Ancestral Star, Hun Zhan naturally harbored an innate hostility towards the Primordial Sacred Body. So, since he had come to the Burial Emperor Star, he naturally had to take the opportunity to praise the Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body and then criticize the Primordial Sacred Body.

"Besides that Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body, other peerless powerhouses like the Golden Crow Crown Prince also descended upon Big Dipper..." the old man in feathered robes said. "Legend has it that the Golden Crow Clan had an Supreme Great Emperor, and that prince was his son. However, for some unknown reason, twenty years ago, when he was at the height of his power, he left Big Dipper..."

"His sudden departure twenty years ago was probably due to receiving some information from the Golden Crow Great Emperor... It seems that it was around the time the Golden Crow Great Emperor returned to Huosang Star, which means that the Golden Crow Great Emperor had already left ten years before I arrived at Heavenly Soldier Ancient Star." Zhou Tong secretly deduced some information about the Golden Crow Great Emperor.

Afterwards, the old man in feathered robes told Zhou Tong a lot about what had happened in Big Dipper during this period.

Countless powerful beings from beyond the realms have descended upon Big Dipper, causing Big Dipper to be in a state of chaos for some time; moreover, it had previously fought a war with the Yongheng Star Domain, and the entire Big Dipper was filled with Killing Intent.

After inquiring about many things, Zhou Tong left a drop of Five-Colored Immortal Liquid as a thank-you gift, and then walked away alone into the distance.

His purpose in coming to the Mysterious Scholar Mansion was actually to enter that Immortal Mansion World.

When the Immortal Mansion World first opened, Zhou Tong was being hunted down by the entire world, so he missed out on this place. But now he wants to go and make up for it.

As Ancient Path to Immortality, the Immortal Mansion World has a slightly different aura from the outside world, filled with a wild and untamed atmosphere, and is teeming with all sorts of savage beasts and exotic birds.

In recent years, the world has actually been open to the outside world for quite some time.

First were the cultivators of the Ancient Races. When the Ancient Races was born, they heard that the Undying Heavenly Emperor had been buried here and even left behind a human skin. So they had long since occupied this place and even took away the Undying Heavenly Emperor's human skin.

Afterwards, the saints from beyond the realms descended. Hearing that this might be the Path to Immortality, they all rushed here to investigate.

For decades, this place has been explored by countless people, and although many secrets have been discovered, the deepest part of this road remains a Forbidden Zone.

Zhou Tong arrived at this place and headed deeper into the Immortal Mansion World.

This space is extremely vast, often spanning tens of thousands of miles, with an expansive and boundless territory. Just considering this one world, it is a massive world comparable to the Big Dipper Ancient Star.

"All the Path to Immortality were opened up by the Desolate Heaven Emperor in order to reach the Immortal Domain. Moreover, each Path to Immortality contains the Dao and Dharma left behind by the Desolate Heaven Emperor. I wonder what this Path to Immortality has left behind?" Zhou Tong was very curious.

Therefore, he did not go directly to the deepest part of the space, but wandered around it at will; he wanted to try using the Divine Mark Purple Gold Immortal Gold Profound Meaning to see if he could collect some of the Great Dao insights of the Desolate Heaven Emperor back then.

Perhaps it was because the era of the Desolate Heaven Emperor was too far removed from the present, that Zhou Tong did not gain any enlightenment from the Desolate Heaven Emperor even after reaching the deepest part of the place.

On the contrary, he gained some insights from the late Great Emperor Great Emperor, his understanding of the Natural Great Dao in his later years.
