ah, so xianxia has gods/goddesses/immortals/deities. there's also 妖 yao (beings cultivated from plants or animals/creatures; sometimes translated to demons, or for example, something from a plant can be called a plant spirit; will depend on the translator) and 魔 mo (sometimes translated to demons or devils; usually seen at mostly bad but can be good as well as some shows try to explain [same with yao], likewise how immortals aren't all good and have bad as well) as well.
