    A Taoist story set in a modern city. 1. The protagonist owns a Taoist temple and is its owner; the story involves the supernatural, demons, and ghosts. 2. A Taoist master descends the mountain, causing a revival of spiritual energy (and ghosts), making him an invincible protagonist. He is married; it's a single-female lead story, and she is the president of a company.

    The "Celestial Master Above" system novel features a modern city invaded by mythical beasts. The protagonist is usually lazy but becomes incredibly focused in battle. The "Swordsman" is also a Taoist priest, and this novel reveals some of the mystique surrounding this profession. It's a prequel to "Swordsman," suggesting that Taoist priests are not to be trifled with. If you enjoy urban fiction, you can skip to the Human Realm arc; it's very realistic.
