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]

After confirming several times that no disembodied palm was about to strike him from the void, Lu Xuan patted his chest, still shaken.


Zhang Ling grumbled, clutching his head without a word.


"Junior Brother, are you trying to take the Keeper of the Records' Order out of the Guardian Storage Room? Why? Master gave you this order so you could 'match' with the position of Keeper of the Records. Normally, it can't be taken out."


Lu Xuan's heart skipped a beat. 'No wonder the Keeper of the Records' Order didn't return to the present with me like the Daoist Robe and Hat did...'


'So then, why couldn't I take out the roll of bamboo slips Master bestowed upon me, the one called the *Tao Te Ching*?'


After turning the matter over in his mind, he began to form a vague guess.
