The Great Xia Fate-Bound: Master, I've Returned to Secular Life

Three thousand years ago, the war between humans and demons ended with the extinction of demons and the severing of the World Tree. Three thousand years later, the Great Xia Dynasty suppresses demon souls with its five capitals, while Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism sit high above, feeding on faith and harvesting the mortal world. The young monk Sanbao, unwilling to chant sutras, returns to secular life and discovers that he harbors the World Tree's core 'Wushengsheng', the only key to unveiling the three-thousand-year lie. The nine-tailed celestial fox Bailan coexists with him, and together with the genius body cultivator Hongxiu, the Confucian gentleman Bai Muyu, the Taoist sword fanatic Chen Qingyuan, the talkative Buddhist monk Liujie, and the tough demonic cultivator Jin Ping'er, a group of geniuses abandoned or doubted by their era gather because of Sanbao. They level up, fight monsters, and unravel conspiracies, growing from friends to confidants, from companions to sword-bearers. When the truth is revealed, the so-called gods and immortals are but false deities who usurped the world, and the so-called demons are but martyrs who resisted. Sanbao talks his way through, Hongxiu breaks spells with her fists, Bai Muyu proves the Dao with words, Chen Qingyuan splits the sky with his sword, Liujie unleashes the Great Majestic Dragon, and Jin Ping'er stains the heavens with demon blood. This time, they will reconnect the World Tree, open the Heavenly Gate, and reshuffle this hypocritical world! — Description from novelcodex.org
