Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Li Qingshan didn’t know anything about Taoist Dragon’s past, his experiences, or his preferences.

Mu Ran nodded, sitting across from Li Qingshan, and said, “Actually, Master hasn’t been happy for tens of thousands of years.”

Li Qingshan looked at Mu Ran, puzzled, and asked, “But he often smiles, doesn’t he?”

“That’s because of you,” Mu Ran said directly.

Li Qingshan looked at Mu Ran in confusion.

“Master had a miserable childhood. He came from a poor background, his family was destitute, and neither of his parents was immortal. Even though life in the Immortal Plane meant no worries about food and clothing, it also meant no prospects. Moreover, frequent battles among immortals often affected innocent people, and no one dared to seek revenge against those experts.”

“My Master grew up in such an environment, but he is so talented. His parents didn’t have any resources and sent him to some big sect. He came to the Celestial Court by himself.”

“Master said that the first time he came to the Celestial Court, what he saw was prosperity. Even weak cultivators like his parents, who were not immortals, could live peacefully under the protection of the Celestial Court. With guards and patrols, the Celestial Court prevented top experts from causing trouble to those weaker cultivators.”

“For him, that was the happiest moment. After settling his parents, he diligently cultivated and advanced. He learned a lot of advanced knowledge from the Celestial Court, improved his worldview, and understood the importance of unity and protecting the weaker cultivators in order to maintain the Celestial Court’s stability.”

“Master said that the majority in the Immortal Plane were not those high-ranking experts but ordinary people. As long as the Celestial Court existed, these ordinary people would be protected.”

“This is called ‘having a thousand mansions to live in, making everyone happy under the sky.”‘

“Master had always worked hard like this.”

Mu Ran spoke with a hint of sadness.

Li Qingshan closed his eyes, feeling sorrowful. Taoist Dragon seemed carefree on the surface, occasionally unreliable, but who would’ve known he was once an idealistic youth?

“What happened to your Master later?” Li Qingshan asked with his eyes closed.

“Later on, Master climbed the mountain of cultivation. When he was a hundred years old, he broke through to the Immortal King Realm, shocking the Celestial

Court and attracting the attention of the Gouchen Emperor. He then met his Master.”

“At that time, I had just become my Master’s disciple. That was the only time in my life that I had seen my Master smile so happily.”

“Master communicated with the Gouchen Emperor for seven days. Seven days later, he returned and worked even harder. He began to seriously organize his life, writing all kinds of documents to record his growth.”

“This process took three hundred years.”

“Three hundred years later, Master broke through to become a Crimson Immortal!”

“In the Crimson Immortal Realm, Master became the most popular genius in the Celestial Court. Countless people wanted to recruit him, but he refused to join anyone of them. He only worked under the Gouchen Emperor. At that time, Master tried his best to modify the Heavenly Rules of the Celestial Court, believing they had become outdated and needed reform to adapt to the new era.”

“Because of this, Master offended a group of descendants from the Emperor

Clan. They accused Master of ruining the foundation of the Celestial Court.” “But Master ignored them and continued to do his own thing.”

“He stayed in the center of the Celestial Court for hundreds of years. During this period, I saw Master’s emotional decline with my own eyes.”

“In the end, he seemed to have lost confidence in the Celestial Court and voluntarily withdrew. He began to cultivate diligently, preparing to break through to the Emperor Realm.”

“It’s just that I wasn’t by his side on the night he broke through. He seemed to have encountered great trouble. I didn’t know at the time, but I later saw an autobiography written by my Master. He said that the Gouchen Emperor came that night and repaired his shattered soul, saving his life.”

“Since then, Master founded the Celestial Court Academy and appointed me as the dean. He was completely silent, neither happy nor sad. I never saw him get excited again.”

“Until he met you!”

Mu Ran looked at Li Qingshan blankly, his eyes full of envy.

He also wanted his Master to be excited for him. He also wanted his master to be happy for him and proud of him.

However, with his talent, he would only be in the Immortal King Realm in this lifetime. He wouldn’t be able to meet his Master’s requirements.

“What does Taoist Dragon see in me?” Li Qingshan asked in confusion. When he first came to the Celestial Court Academy, his cultivation level was very low. “Master’s special treatment of you made me very confused. I once asked Master what he valued about you.”

“Master told me that he saw hope in you!”

“I still remember that time when Master brought you back from the Prodigy Battlefield. He smiled so happily. It has been tens of thousands of years since he had been so happy.”

“The last time he was so happy was when the Gouchen Emperor met with Master.”

“That’s why I said that Master will protect you no matter what. I only hope that you won’t let Master down.”

Mu Ran stood up and took out a book written by Taoist Dragon and handed it to Li Qingshan.

“This is Master’s diary. He rarely writes. Only when something big happens will he record it. Take a look.” Mu Ran placed the book on the table and left.

Li Qingshan sat alone and looked at the yellowed diary. He reached out and opened the first page.

The first page recorded the meeting with the Gouchen Emperor.

This diary was filled with the excitement of a young man. It could be seen from the writing that he had met his idol and the strongest group of people in the Immortal Plane.

Taoist Dragon was truly high-spirited in his youth..
