I'm Really a Taoist

Xu Lang is the closed-door disciple of the abbot of Bixia Palace. He is well versed in the Eight Characters and Qimen arts, skilled in feng shui and geomancy, and adept at the art of borrowing from the Metal element.

Since the calamity destined for him in this life has yet to arrive, he has always cultivated at home. During a ritual to deliver the dead, an accident occurs. To ferry a departed soul across, Xu Lang trespasses into the Palace of the Southern Dipper Star Lord and forcibly sets the Celestial Mechanism Wheel in motion while the Star Lord of Fate is away.

Unfortunately, it is the very day of the Nine Emperors' Assembly, when the True Lord of the Northern Dipper undergoes his once-in-nine-hundred-years tribulation in the human world. Xu Lang's forcible activation of the Celestial Mechanism Wheel prevents the True Lord of the Northern Dipper from being reborn according to the fate ordained by the True Lord of Fate and the Primordial Mother of the Dipper. He loses contact with the heavenly realm.

To make amends, Xu Lang promises to find the True Lord of the Northern Dipper and help him complete his tribulation so he can return to his rightful place among the gods as soon as possible. Can Xu Lang find him, and where will his own path ultimately lead...?
