In the spring of year 6823 of the New Calendar, Lu Xuan, an unregistered resident of the Federation, hid outside a high school classroom and secretly learned a Cultivation Skill, embarking on the path of Cultivation.

On the same day, he returned home and had a dream, just as he always did. In the dream, he was in the Guardian Storage Room during the Spring and Autumn Period in Chinese history（770-481 BCE）, and the current Keeper of the Records was named Li Er, also known as Laozi.

Later, Lu Xuan dreamed that he became the succeeding Keeper of the Records, became Confucius's second teacher, became the senior brother of Zhang Daoling, the Ancestral Celestial Master, and became the honorary father of the First Emperor...

Even later, someone unearthed a roll of bamboo slips from the ground, on which an event was recorded.

In the grand Daoist Palace, the middle-aged Blind Daoist opened his one good eye and frowned slightly.


'Who is usurping the Cause and Effect of The Three Pristine Ones? What audacity...'


His gaze followed the threads of Cause and Effect, piercing through all the Celestial Realms. From beyond the Thirty-Three Celestial Realms above to the depths of the Nine Nether and Yellow Springs below, everything, tangible and intangible, came into view.


'Is it that brat?' The Primordial Great Celestial Venerable was exasperated. With a mere thought, he intercepted the terrifying karmic backlash—enough to crush an Upper Celestial Venerable or a Great Buddha. His gaze swept over a serene little courtyard, and a smile touched his lips.
