Entering Dao from Infancy

Summary

The chapter introduces the "Qing Yuan" era, established during the birth of Li Hao, highlighting the favor the Emperor Yu held for the Li family. The dynasty, though aging, remains powerful enough to protect its territory from demon invasions and secure tributes from vassal states. General Jiang Tian Shou, at eighty-six, leads a successful campaign against demon invaders, gaining fame across nineteen states. Young swordsman Mingyue Jian enters the Qian Dao Palace as a personal disciple, while an old master descends from Mount Wan Feng to duel, drawing a crowd. In Qingzhou City, the Tan Palace Academy reopens, attracting young talents eager for recognition. Meanwhile, Li Hao enjoys a quiet moment in his courtyard, playing chess with his mentor, Li Qing Zheng, who expresses frustration at losing. A white fox, his companion, causes mischief, prompting a maid, Qing Zhi, to report her antics. Li Hao reflects on his family's expectations and his inherited dragon soul, which has led to disappointment among his ancestors. Despite this, he maintains a carefree attitude, contrasting with Li Qing Zheng's stern demeanor. The chapter concludes with the arrival of Xue Jian, delivering an invitation to the Tan Palace Academy, which Li Hao dismisses casually.
