Disciple of Uncle Jiu: A Century-Old Taoist Legacy

He transmigrates into a world of Hong Kong action movies, zombie films, and ghost stories. From the late Qing dynasty to the modern era, he becomes Uncle Jiu's successor over the course of a hundred years!

Chen Xuan, a modern office worker, unexpectedly transmigrates into the body of a Maoshan Daoist in the late Qing dynasty and is bound to the Daoist Lineage Inheritance System. From the start, he saves a young Uncle Jiu and sets out on a century-long path of vanquishing evil.

The corpse uprising in Renjia Town, an invasion by a Western vampire, a battle of Southeast Asian witchcraft, living corpses running rampant during the war, the supernatural high point of Hong Kong cinema's golden age, and a crisis facing the Daoist lineage in the age of declining magic...

He studies Maoshan magic under Uncle Jiu, subdues hopping vampires, slays vengeful ghosts, and frees restless spirits. He rewrites Qiusheng and Wencai's tragic fate, changes the regret of Uncle Jiu's early death, exchanges merit for magical artifacts, and sustains the Daoist lineage through faith.

From a Daoist in a turbulent age to a consultant on cinematic mysticism, from the Shaw Brothers studio lots to the modern city, he weathers 126 years of change and witnesses the iconic scenes of Hong Kong cinema's supernatural universe.

Though the Daoist arts are suppressed by the will of Heaven, the lineage has never been severed!

In this life, he will preserve Uncle Jiu's legacy and make Maoshan Daoism shine once more in the modern age!
