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 fundamental destiny of the Great Heaven and Earth has been set in motion."


The Demon Ancestor stared at the scene unfolding within the River of Time, watching the monkey break free from the stone as if hatching from a shell. He spoke lightly:


"It seems Lu Xuan and the others did not replace the person central to this tribulation..."


"Is the great tide of destiny still centered on the monkey this time? But I see the other secondary roles have been replaced. Could a Dao Fruit incarnation have slipped past our notice among them?"


The Ancient Bodhi Buddha replied with a smile:


"I have perceived the entire sequence of events. Golden Cicada, Tianpeng, Rolling Curtain, and White Dragon are merely retracing the Journey to the West; they haven't been replaced by incarnations of Lu Xuan, The Three Pristine Ones, or the others."
