Technological Progress? No, the Monsters Can No Longer Hide

After spending twenty years as a Daoist priest, Wang Xuan arrived in a parallel world carrying a bestiary of demons and ghosts, only to discover that they lurked here in secret.

But ordinary people believed only in science, not ghosts and monsters. Daoist traditions had long since died out, and many people made a hobby of livestreaming fake ghost scares.

When Wang Xuan summoned a big-headed ghost, the female streamer exclaimed that the special effects were adorable.

When Wang Xuan immobilized a fearsome ghost with a talisman, the cameraman praised how quickly naked-eye 3D was advancing.

When Wang Xuan used a Daoist art to summon lightning, the viewers cried out that the special effects were godlike.

When a great demon sent a massive boulder flying with one palm, everyone cheered for the mighty air cannon.

And when a tiger demon gobbled up the streamer, everyone...

A famous actress went to play a fox spirit and ended up becoming one for real. Wang Xuan shouted, "Monster, take this!"

A rich young master received a marriage letter from a ghostly empress dowager. Wang Xuan took his place: "You wicked creature, come at me!"

With cinnabar talismans, star-shifting techniques, the Six Jia and Eight Trigrams, and the Five Thunders Orthodox Art, Wang Xuan attained the rank of Daoist Venerable, protected humanity, and subdued the demons of the world.
