National Style High Martial Arts: Ascending to Sainthood Through the Five Animals Play

Shen Lin transmigrates into a high-martial-arts world and awakens a companion spiritual artifact known as the Nuo Mask of Nine Aspects. His journey begins with the first aspect, Guan Yu, through which he masters the Five Animals Play and earns the revered title of Martial Saint among mortals. The second aspect, the Holy Lord of Blessings and Household Protection, allows him to devour ghosts and banish evil, safeguarding humanity from malevolent spirits. The third aspect is Lü Dongbin, one of the Eight Immortals, Pure Yang Patriarch, and ancestor of sword immortals. The fourth manifests as the Living Buddha Ji Gong, the fiftieth patriarch of Chan Buddhism and sixth patriarch of the Yangqi School. The fifth is Nezha, Marshal of the Central Altar, dragon-slayer of the Eastern Sea, reborn in a lotus body with three heads and six arms. The sixth aspect is Erlang Shen, the Illustrious Sage True Lord, whose divine might shakes the heavens. With all nine aspects united, they form Pangu himself. Starting from his enrollment at the Lingyun Martial Hall, Shen Lin steadily ascends step by step until he stands at the absolute pinnacle, gazing down upon all realms of existence.
