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]

A Dao Fruit spoke calmly, his expression growing serious:


"I have observed that the fate of every being who enters the Purple Cloud Palace changes dramatically. A sliver of their True Spirit is missing... Has their True Spirit been left behind in the Purple Cloud Palace?"


"What exactly does this Purple Cloud Palace Master intend?" the Ancient Bodhi Buddha asked with a frown, finding the situation deeply vexing.


As an Enlightened One, he could overlook all of Ancient History and peer into parts of the future. Logically, he should be able to glean some insight even into the schemes of other Enlightened Ones.


The number of people and things he couldn't comprehend was only growing...


Not to mention things long past, first there was Supreme Profound Clarity, then the Profound Yellow who threw the grand course of history into disarray.
