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]

"Are you a symbol of the Undying Dao? Good. Then I shall devour you, make you a part of myself, and suppress you for eternity!"


Hongjun Daoist, along with all his pasts, his other selves, and all his Cause and Effect, was swallowed whole by the Buddha Mother!


Lu Xuan reappeared from the void and spoke in surprise:


"Inside your stomach, I saw Maitreya Buddha. But he was already dead, annihilated by a longsword... No wonder you're called the Buddha Mother."


The Buddha Mother was horrified. He retreated nine steps, crossing from one end of the ruins of all worlds to the other.


Hongjun Daoist smiled as he followed close behind:


A chill ran down the Ancient One's spine. He struck out again and again, annihilating Hongjun Daoist each time, yet Hongjun Daoist would simply reappear from the void and even began to fight back!


'Let's see just how magnificent an Ancient One truly is.'
