Laozi stamped his feet in fury!
To all living beings, perhaps this was merely astonishing, unbelievable.
But to Laozi-or rather, to the Human Sect-it was a slap delivered right to the face.
Gu Changqing would rather hand humanity's fortune to the Dragon Race than let the Human Sect lay a finger on it.
Damn it... how could Laozi not be furious?!

Since you, Gu Changqing, can nurture more human cultivators...
Then my Human Sect can do the same.
Thus, he decided to break the Human Sect's convention of no longer
