Celestial Master Descends the Mountain: Wait, This Taoist Is Actually Serious

He comes out of seclusion to find a world full of fake celestial masters. An Yu, the Kunlun Daoist Sect’s greatest prodigy, is sent down the mountain by his master to spread the true teachings of the Dao. He thinks that with his thunderous lightning arts and mastery of talismans, it’ll take no time at all to make the world worship him. Instead, Wang the Half-Immortal, a fortune-teller on the street, accuses him of stealing his business. The Supreme Clarity Immortal in a livestream room can make a hundred thousand a day just by sprinkling talisman water. Even female influencers dare to invite fox spirits to possess them, saying things like, “Family, send me a rocket! I’ll ward off bad luck for you tonight.” An Yu stares at the lightning sparking in his palm and begins to doubt himself. “Could my real abilities... actually be less impressive than their sales pitches?” To prove that the Daoist faith still exists and has not fallen into decline, he is forced to start livestreaming, join the scene, and pit his wits and magic against a bunch of fake Taoist priests. Then one day, a thousand-year-old evil ghost massacres the livestream room, and all the so-called masters flee in panic. An Yu silently pulls out a Nine-Thunder Demon-Subduing Talisman. “Hey, it’s just a little ghost. Why are you running?” Afterward, the whole internet goes wild! “Holy crap! A real celestial master has come down the mountain. This is a straight-up dimensional beatdown!” “Please, Celestial Master, help me live longer!” “Waaah, I’ve been single for thirty years. Please help me cut off these awful romantic prospects!”
