After returning to the Grand Xia, Zhou Tong discussed the Dao with Xiamang Xun for over a month before finally leaving the imperial capital of the Grand Xia.
It had to be said that although Xiamang Xun was very weak as a Fiendgod Body Refiner, he had lived for a trillion years. The Grand Daos he had comprehended were extraordinary, and many of them were things which Zhou Tong had yet to comprehend. In the past month, he had benefited greatly.
After leaving the royal capital of Grand Xia, Zhou Tong roamed the world of Grand Xia by himself. He was trying to comprehend the various aspects of this world, trying to understand the local customs of this world as well as the Grand Dao of this world.
Using nature as a model, using the many Grand Daos of the Stellar Hall of the Starseizing Manor as a guide, his insights into the Grand Daos increased with each passing day.
During this period of time, he wandered through countless places in the Grand Xia. Xiamang Xun had recommended to him the Nine Heavens Aurora of the Northsea Commandery, as well as the Nine Bends Heavenly Rivers of the Moerjiang Commandery.
During this period of time, he had also explored the mysteries of the Grand Xia. The Grand Xia Dynasty had countless legends, as well as countless fortunes. He had once explored and discovered the estates left behind by more than ten deceased Celestial Immortals, causing his foundation to grow significantly.
He had been gone for fifteen years.
Right at this moment, a piece of news spread throughout the entire Grand Xia. The once every three centuries Conclave of Immortal Destiny had begun once more. This time, the Xia Emperor, Xiamang Xun, was personally presiding over it. The rewards were ten times or even a hundred times greater than the rewards of previous Conclaves.
As soon as this news came out, the various marquises, sects, and clans of the Grand Xia instantly felt terror in their hearts.
The Conclave of Immortal Destiny was both a blessing and a danger. Only those who reached the very end would have a blessing. Those who were eliminated at the very beginning would have died in vain.
However, to the vast majority of sects and clans, they didn't care that their disciples would be cut off from the next generation. Every single one of these sects and clans had existed for millions or even tens of millions of years. They were completely capable of enduring a few hundred years of loss.
However, what they were worried about was what the Grand Xia Emperor was thinking.
The first Conclave of Immortal Destiny had been personally presided over by the Grand Xia Emperor. The second time he had presided over it was when he had wiped out the rebellious Donge clan and the other clans, in order to establish his might. This was his third Conclave.
… …... i …............................. it........................ I.
With a single thought, Zhou Tong disappeared from the Eastern Sea. With a single step, he traversed millions and millions of li. In the blink of an eye, he once again arrived at the Imperial Capital of the Great Xia Dynasty.
He stood quietly in the air, looking down at the imperial capital of the Grand Xia Dynasty. Candlelight flickered in his eyes, illuminating everything.
"In King Yan's Estate? The plot hasn't changed much though! " .................. a a.... a Emperor Emperor............................. to.
At the same time. Within King Yan's Estate. There was a lake in front of Ning's residence.
Snowflakes drifted through the air. Through this curtain of snow, one could see off into the distance. The pavilions, terraces, and towers were indistinct and hazy, as though they were hidden within the clouds. There was a different sort of aura to it.
At this moment, Ji Ning was casually floating on a small boat on the surface of the lake. Aside from Ji Ning, there was another woman on the boat. It was King Yan's granddaughter, Princess Xiyue. She was Ji Ning's older cousin, Yuchi Xiyue.
"Cousin, the orders from the imperial citadel have already been issued. This Conclave of Immortal Destiny is set to be held on the sixteenth of the first month. There's only a month left. How are your preparations?" Yuchi Xiyue looked at Ji Ning.
Ji Ning laughed bitterly. "How could I have known that this Conclave of Immortal Destiny would be so grand? A while ago, when I was strolling through the imperial capital, I heard that many of the top-ranked disciples of the major sects have come. There are simply too many geniuses this time. I don't have much confidence in myself."
Yuchi Xiyue laughed. "His Imperial Majesty is personally presiding over this Conclave of Immortal Destiny. The various vassal sects, in order to curry favor with His Imperial Majesty, will naturally bring their most talented disciples. Cousin, given your talent and power, even if you aren't able to get into the top ten, your ranking definitely won't be too bad. Even my grandfather said that you would definitely be able to get a good ranking. "
Yuchi Xiyue had personally witnessed Ji Ning's sword techniques, as well as his power as a Fiendgod Body Refiner and Ki Refiner. He had trained the [Chi Ming Diagram of the Nine Heavens] to the peak of the Wanxiang level, and his Immortal-ranked Ki Refining technique had also reached the peak of the Wanxiang level. He could break through to the Primal level at any time.
But for the sake of participating in the Conclave of Immortal Destiny, he had forcibly suppressed his power to the peak of the Wanxiang level.
Even Yuchi Xiyue, who had seen many things, had to admit that her cousin was a peerless genius.
"All the geniuses of the Grand Xia have gathered here. I wonder what sort of results I'll be able to achieve in the end." Ji Ning felt some anticipation for this Conclave as well.
"As my disciple, how can you be so lacking in confidence?" Right at this moment, Zhou Tong's voice rang out in the ears of Ji Ning and Yuchi Xiyue, causing both of them to feel shocked.
Yuchi Xiyue was truly shocked. This was King Yan's Estate, the estate of a Celestial Immortal. Someone had actually managed to sneak in without anyone noticing?
But aside from his surprise, Ji Ning felt wild joy in his heart. He could already tell that the speaker was Zhou Tong. He turned his head, instantly seeing Zhou Tong standing at the prow of the ship.
"Your disciple greets you, Master!" Ji Ning immediately bowed towards Zhou Tong.
"This is the master you spoke of, cousin?" The nearby Yuchi Xiyue was very surprised. She hadn't imagined that this person would be him.
"It's been twenty years since we last met. It seems you haven't wasted any of that time. You're only a hair's breadth away from the Primal stage." Zhou Tong nodded slightly, a look of satisfaction on his face.
"Master, last time, you said that you would be able to undergo your tribulation in ten years at most. Now, you …?" When Ji Ning thought of this, a hint of delight appeared in his eyes.
"Correct. Fifteen years ago, I underwent my Empyrean Tribulation. Now, your master is the Empyrean God of Tribulation Flame," Zhou Tong said leisurely.
"Congratulations, Master!" Ji Ning was overjoyed.
With a master like this, his background could be said to be one of the most powerful of all the competitors in the Conclave. In fact, it could even be said that his background was at the very top.
"Empyrean God of Tribulation Flame? You are that Empyrean God of Tribulation Flame, who underwent his tribulation fifteen years ago outside the imperial capital?! " Yuchi Xiyue cried out in alarm. As the princess of the Grand Xia, how could she not know the name of the 'Empyrean God of Tribulation Flame'?
More than ten years ago, this name had resounded throughout the entire imperial capital of the Grand Xia. That Heavenly Tribulation had been so terrifying that even the imperial capital had been somewhat affected. Anyone who had reached the Void-level or Earth Immortal level would be able to see that terrifying Heavenly Tribulation and feel that terrifying pressure.
After the Heavenly Tribulation dissipated, the name of the 'Empyrean God of Tribulation Flame' quickly spread throughout the imperial capital.
Everyone knew that the Heavenly Tribulation had been triggered by the 'Empyrean God of Tribulation Flame'.
