Slay the Gods: Lin Qiye Has a Maoshan Female Master

By a twist of fate, Lin Qiye becomes the disciple of a reclusive master from Maoshan and studies its Taoist arts, including talismans, formations, ritual steps, spirit-summoning, corpse refinement, and thunder techniques. His powers become a hybrid of the Divine Realm and Taoist arts. His female Maoshan master, Qingxu Zi, looks young but is actually of an extremely senior generation. Quirky and fiercely protective of her disciples, she is a master of Taoist arts who has hidden herself away in a modern city for reasons of her own. After discovering Lin Qiye's unusual talent by chance, she forcibly takes him on as her disciple. Lin Qiye grows under Qingji Zixu's “torture”-style instruction while fulfilling his duties as a Night's Watch member. He gradually discovers that certain “mysterious” phenomena are connected to ancient Eastern evil spirits or forbidden arts lost to Taoism. A larger conspiracy seems to lurk behind them, tied to secrets within the Taoist sect and the truth behind the origin of the “mysterious.” Lin Qiye must unite the two systems of power, unravel the mystery, and protect the world.
