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]

'Houtu's' gaze was profound as she spoke in a soft, low voice:


"Fellow Daoist, although you have already stepped into the Dao Fruit level, your foundation is ultimately too shallow. If you wish to make the final leap, to advance further at this last moment, your only path is Integration Dao."


An interested expression appeared on the face of Lu Xuan, who was in the guise of Sakyamuni Buddha. A profound glint flashed in his eyes as he feigned confusion and asked:


"Integration Dao? Fellow Daoist, are you trying to deceive me? Integration Dao requires one to abandon all emotion and merge their body with the Great Dao. If so, how is that any different from being a walking corpse? How is it different from death?"


"You are mistaken, Fellow Daoist. We have no past grievances or recent enmity. Why would I deceive you?"
