Background

Li Changsheng was an Acquired Human Race member of the Intercepting Sect. He provoked Tongtian, killed Celestial of Fixed Light, and escaped Golden Turtle Island, becoming known as a sect traitor. His first system reward supplied the Space-Time Shuttle, True Immortal Spirit Fruit, Heaven Suppressing Pavilion, and Primordial Chaos Evolution Art. 5

He later regarded Tongtian’s suppression as the catalyst for his change from a timid, submissive person into someone who resisted oppression and pursued strength without accepting fate passively. 342

After breaking with Tongtian, Li Changsheng established the Daoist School. Its growing strength and recruitment of disciples made him a major concern to his former sect. 402 395
