I, Zombie Celestial Master, Picked Up an Ancestor of Zombies. That's Normal, Right?

Bai Xiang, a First-Rank Celestial Master of the Celestial Master Sect, encounters evil spirits terrorizing a small town as soon as he leaves the sect. He expects to exterminate the demons with ease, but the villagers mistake him for a fraud and attack him. The demons even ambush him, nearly costing him his life. Yet at the brink of death, a hidden power within Bai Xiang awakens. He can absorb the demons' blood essence, heal his wounds, and even command zombies as easily as moving his own limbs! After repeatedly unleashing this power in life-or-death situations, Bai Xiang gradually realizes he may not be an ordinary person at all, but someone with a deep connection to zombies...

At the sect's selection tournament, Bai Xiang turns the tables with his strange abilities, defeats powerful opponents, and shocks the entire crowd. His performance also draws the attention of the sect's higher-ups, while his master, Lin Buyu, remains as enigmatic as ever. What secret lies within Bai Xiang? Can he uncover the truth about his origins? Surrounded by dangers both inside and outside the sect, how will he rise step by step and become a true Zombie Celestial Master?
