Chapter 15: You’re at Least a Righteous Path Female Cultivator—Why Do You Speak So Crudely
——Darkness.
Boundless darkness.
Dai Bojun felt himself falling, passing through a viscous, icy, endless void.
He heard someone laughing. The laughter surged from all directions, shaking his consciousness like a flickering candle in the wind, on the verge of extinguishing.
“Don’t be afraid.”
It was Big Sister Bai’s voice, gentler than ever before. “It will be over soon.”
Dai Bojun struggled to lift his head.
The excruciating pain throughout his body nearly caused him to lose consciousness entirely.
In the darkness, something was taking shape.
At first, it was only a vague shadow, gradually outlining into form—
a tiger.
White fur with black stripes, eyes like ghostly flames.
The white tiger strode out of the darkness, each step sending tremors through the ground.
That tiger face was one Dai Bojun knew all too well.
But at this moment, it opened its mouth, revealing sharp fangs, and a bloody wind rushed toward him.
Dai Bojun realized something and revealed a terrified expression.
“B-Big Sister Bai?”
The white tiger did not answer.
It merely looked at him, and within those ghost-flame eyes, a trace of guilt flickered.
Then it lunged forward.
Dai Bojun screamed in panic and instinctively shut his eyes.
But the expected pain did not arrive.
He heard a low roar—one filled with anger, but also—fear?
Dai Bojun opened his eyes and saw the white tiger halted midair.
Someone.
Someone stood between him and the white tiger.
It was a man in gray robes, gloomy yet handsome. He sat atop a coffin, a smile on his face.
He did not turn his head, merely raising one hand, his five fingers loosely closing.
The white tiger seemed to have its throat seized by an invisible hand, struggling and roaring, yet unable to advance even an inch.
“It’s you?!”
The white tiger spoke in human words, filled with fury and shock.
She remembered the man before her.
A few days ago, Dai Bojun had heard the sounds of fighting in the forest.
Acting on his kind nature, he had gone to check, only to encounter a Yin Corpse driving him away.
Panicking, Dai Bojun had fled and fainted along the way.
The white tiger had then intervened and dealt with the Yin Corpse.
Though the Yin Corpse had no intent to harm, the white tiger disdained the Corpse Refinement Path as a heretical method.
And afterward—
the owner of the Yin Corpse had appeared, a Qi Absorption cultivator.
The moment he saw her, he fled in panic.
And yet, that very Qi Absorption cultivator now stood before her!
“How do you possess such a secret technique of projecting the soul into a manifested realm?!”
“You guess.”
“Insolent!”
Ignoring the white tiger’s fury,
Fang Chang increased the force in his hand, firmly pinning it in place.
According to Buddhist doctrine,
the core of the soul was called the “Manas Consciousness.”
It was extremely subtle, storing the most fundamental karma and memories of life.
For one attempting possession, destroying or suppressing the host’s “Manas Consciousness” was the key to completely erasing the original owner.
And the place they were in—
was precisely that “Manas Consciousness.”
Dai Bojun had originally been a mortal.
Through a twist of fate, he had suffered severe injuries, his blood and qi depleted, his yang energy weakened.
With such instability between body and qi,
even though he was a person blessed with great fortune, whose soul was naturally protected by that fortune, his “Manas Consciousness” now showed significant looseness.
And because of that—
the white tiger could attempt possession.
And Fang Chang could not only take advantage of the weakness to intrude, but also borrow Dai Bojun’s own powerful fortune to assist him in resisting.
Fang Chang turned his head to look at Dai Bojun.
He stood there, trembling all over as he stared at the white tiger.
“Big Sister Bai… from the very beginning… you wanted my body?”
The white tiger did not answer.
Those ghost-flame eyes flickered violently.
“But you clearly had many chances!”
“I protected you—that was real. I scolded you—that was real. My fear of you dying—that was also real.”
The white tiger’s voice was hoarse. “But my desire to live—that is also real.”
It raised its head.
On the tiger’s face, every black stripe was clearly visible.
“This time, with my severe injuries, I have no more opportunities. Even if you let me choose a hundred times, I would still do the same.”
Hearing this,
Dai Bojun’s shoulders trembled uncontrollably, tears streaming down in large drops.
Overcome with grief, he collapsed to his knees. Already delicate in appearance, he now cried like pear blossoms in the rain.
The white tiger’s power clearly grew stronger, advancing step by step.
Its claws lifted, becoming solid as real, carrying a chilling coldness.
“Oh…”
Fang Chang felt somewhat curious. Why was this Dai Bojun even more timid than in the game?
Also—
was this guy a bit too effeminate?
Fang Chang’s eyes turned slightly, and suddenly an idea arose.
“You should hate me, Bojun.”
At this moment,
the white tiger had already begun to overdraw itself, fighting desperately.
As for Fang Chang—
he naturally would not fight to the death with it.
He feigned weakness, allowing the white tiger’s yin soul energy to rampage freely.
But deliberately—
he prevented her from completely destroying Dai Bojun’s “Manas Consciousness.”
Fang Chang turned his head to look at Dai Bojun.
The boy had gone from panic and despair to gradually recognizing the fear of death.
Fang Chang suddenly let out a long sigh.
“Young man, I cannot remain here for long. If you wish to live, you must listen to what I say.”
Hearing this, Dai Bojun’s heart tightened.
Possession was not instantaneous, but a process of ebb and flow.
Through this process,
he had already realized the white tiger’s determination to take his life.
The kindness of the past, in the face of this struggle for survival, was gradually being worn away.
He hurriedly said, “Please, senior, save me!”
“The method I speak of can save your life, but it will likely leave endless consequences in the future.”
“Please tell me! I… I have reasons to live!”
Fang Chang nodded.
“This ghost tiger was originally female, and now, having lost her physical body, she is a yin soul. Rampaging within your soul like this has already caused yin energy to flourish. If you wish to live, you must borrow and absorb this yin energy.”
He paused. “I have a method called 《Formless Yin-Yang Transformation》, a path of yin and yang. If you can cultivate it, you can reverse this losing situation! It’s just…”
Dai Bojun hurriedly asked,
“Just what?”
“It’s just… this method will invert yin and yang—male bodies become female, female bodies become male… Only upon reaching its peak is it possible to restore one’s original form.”
“What?!”
The white tiger’s expression changed drastically as it shouted sternly:
“Bojun, do not listen to this person’s demonic nonsense! You are blessed with great fortune, destined by heaven. Reversing yin and yang goes against the natural order—your fortune may very well dissipate entirely!”
Fang Chang showed a mocking expression, cupping his hands with a smile.
“Fellow Daoist White Tiger is truly amusing—on one hand trying to kill and possess someone, on the other hand advising them to behave. Playing both the good and the bad—yet you fail to see who caused the current situation.”
“Heretical nonsense!”
“And you call yourself righteous, yet you’re already trying to possess a mortal.”
The white tiger was struck at its sore point.
A trace of shame flashed across its fierce face. It bared its teeth, falling silent.
Dai Bojun gritted his teeth and looked at it.
“Big Sister Bai, you want to live, and I also do not want to die. In this struggle of victory and defeat, neither of us can blame the other… Senior, please grant me the technique!”
Fang Chang smiled faintly.
Without avoiding the white tiger at all, he recited the cultivation method of 《Formless Yin-Yang Transformation》 word by word.
And Dai Bojun truly lived up to being a child of fortune.
His aptitude and comprehension were exceptional.
In less than half an hour, he had already entered the path of yin and yang and successfully stepped into Qi Absorption.
During this time, the white tiger said nothing, attacking continuously.
But under Fang Chang’s protection, it could never achieve the crucial step, and could only watch helplessly as Dai Bojun stepped onto the yin-yang path.
Once Qi Absorption was achieved—
there was nothing more to say about the outcome.
Struggle, pain, despair, unwillingness—
all continued to flicker in the white tiger’s eyes.
It withdrew silently.
Then, resolutely, it dispersed its own soul.
Fang Chang, having achieved his goal, left with a smile.
His consciousness returned to his body.
Standing above the pit,
he looked down from afar at Dai Bojun lying weakly on the ground, silently shedding tears.
At this moment, having just entered the yin-yang path, though he had not yet transformed, the trend had already begun—his entire being appeared noticeably more delicate and feminine.
“What are you laughing at?”
Cheng Hua asked from the side.
Fang Chang could not suppress the corners of his mouth.
“Tell me, what do you think would happen if the protagonist in a mortal storybook changed from male to female?”
“From male to female? The Yin-Yang Path?”
Cheng Hua paused:
“With yin and yang inverted, the direction of desire would change, but the amount would not. Judging by the intensity of male desire, they would likely become a sow in heat.”
Fang Chang was slightly stunned.
That perspective was rather novel.
Fallen Immortal was a 16+ game, and did not cover such content.
Hearing Cheng Hua say this, it actually made some sense upon reflection.
But…
Fang Chang could not help but glance at Cheng Hua.
There was not the slightest blush on her face. She stood proud and composed, as refined as a painting.
“You’re at least a righteous path female cultivator—why do you speak so crudely? ‘A sow in heat’…”
