In Honghuang: Reborn as a Spirit Bamboo, I Am the Sage of Rites

Reborn as an arrow bamboo in the Northern Mountain during the Primordial Era, Xun Li grew deep in the mountains, hidden among the clouds and mist, his whereabouts elusive and impossible for ordinary people to find.

Xun Li lived peacefully for hundreds of thousands of years, watching over the mountains and raising pandas.

Rumors spread throughout the world: "There is a bamboo on the Northern Mountain, its trunk reaching the heavens and its leaves stretching endlessly. It was born with intelligence, and no one knows how long it has lived."

"Its divine powers are so vast that they rival the Ancestral Shamans and the Demon Emperors."

"It is the only one of its kind, above and below the heavens. Its name is the Eternal Heaven-Piercing Bamboo!"

His friends Zhao Gongming and the Three Cloud Sisters invited him to the Purple Heaven Palace to listen to the Dao.

The Jie, Chan, and Western Sects, along with the Heavenly Court, all came to recruit him.

Xun Li kept to himself, watching the tides of the Primordial Era unfold.

During the Great Tribulation of Investiture of the Gods, he drew on his past life as a teacher to follow the path of education in the Primordial Era.

He descended from the Northern Mountain and became the Grand Historian of the Shang Dynasty, teaching the people and enlightening generations to come. He established seventy-two academies across the human world to protect it.

Using the merit he earned among humankind, he cultivated the path of a true god, established the Three Mountains and Nine Peaks, brought order to the Five Lakes and Four Seas, and laid down the laws of heaven and earth.
