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.

[The eighteenth Keeper of the Records, Lu Xuan, his Sword Qi like a waterfall, assassinated Duke Huan of Qi in his bedchamber]

The incident had ruined any interest Lu Xuan had in exploring Luoyang City, and he returned to the Guardian Storage Room in silence.


First, he wiped down every book in the room, one by one. Most of the scrolls contained the teachings of the Hundred Schools of Thought, and now, it seemed he himself had joined the ranks of those masters, with a few new scrolls added to the collection.


Once he finished wiping the scrolls, Lu Xuan sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion. He poured a cup of hot tea, lit a stick of Sandalwood Incense, and was lost in thought amidst the swirling fragrance.


'The massacre in the Sui Region... Senior Brother Zhang would never do something like that. It's not in his character.'


'And I haven't received a letter from Senior Brother Zhang in a long time...'


A sudden anxiety gripped him, and he downed three cups of hot tea before he finally calmed down.
