Awakening of Chaos, Transformation of Yin and Yang

Bai Lan quickly grasped the fundamentals of cultivating the Hundred Flowers Technique after a single read.

However, this particular method was fundamentally unsuited for him. The Hundred Flowers Technique, a foundational cultivation art of the Luoshen Sect, necessitated drawing upon the ethereal power emitted by flowers and the supplementary aid of Hundred Flowers Pills for its practice.

Upon successful cultivation, one’s body would exude a delicate floral fragrance. As long as chastity was maintained, eternal youth would be granted, with one’s physical form and outward appearance perpetually frozen at the age of eighteen.

This technique boasted potent beautifying and nourishing effects, implying that continuous practice would only enhance one’s allure. This, in turn, explained why the disciples of the Luoshen Sect consistently appeared remarkably stunning.

Any one of them, if placed in the secular world, would undoubtedly be considered a great beauty, a fact intrinsically linked to the Luoshen Sect’s unique cultivation methods. This was precisely why many female cultivators prioritized joining the Luoshen Sect, as only their techniques offered such profound beautifying effects.

After all, for many women, beauty often outweighed the pursuit of enhanced strength. If presented with the choice between eternal youth and formidable power, the majority would unequivocally choose the former without hesitation.

Of course, this represented the mindset of most women, not every single individual.

“Insanity,” Bai Lan scoffed. “What good is this technique to me? Eternal youth and a fragrant body? I’m not even a real woman. If a man cultivated this, wouldn’t he become a true pervert?”

Bai Lan merely glanced at the text before losing all interest.

He had an abundance of cultivation techniques stored within his mind; focusing on the Snow Divine Scripture was more than sufficient, so why trouble himself with anything else? His plan was to use the Snow Divine Scripture as his primary cultivation method, with other techniques serving as auxiliary skills.

As for the Hundred Flowers Technique, it explicitly stated that it was effective only for women and incompatible with the male physique, making its cultivation impossible for him even if he desired it.

Bai Lan promptly set the item aside, with no intention of revisiting it. However, at that very moment, something unusual occurred.

As Bai Lan gazed intently at the vast, luminous moon at the ocean’s horizon, the Chaos Divine Bone merging within his body suddenly erupted with a soft, blue radiance.

“Hmm? What’s happening?” Bai Lan felt a peculiar itch in his chest. He lowered his head and pulled open his collar to investigate, only to discover a faint blue glow emanating from the Heavenly Gate point on his chest.

Simultaneously, the bright moon at the ocean’s edge seemed to undergo a strange transformation. A peculiar halo of light gradually formed around the colossal moon, flickering as if resonating with the Chaos Divine Bone within Bai Lan.

Subsequently, a stream of incredibly pure, comforting light coalesced from the moonlight. It then shone directly onto Bai Lan’s glabella, immobilizing him completely, as if he had been caught by a powerful stasis spell.

“What’s wrong? Yun Yao, what’s happening?” Bai Lan felt something surge into his body through his glabella.

“Don’t worry,” Yun Yao explained. “The Chaos Body is composed of both Yin and Yang energies. The sun represents Yang power, and the moon represents Yin power. Today happens to be a full moon, and your Chaos Divine Bone seems to have sensed the abundant Yin energy, absorbing the moon’s essence to accelerate its fusion.”

Initially, Bai Lan had been quite concerned, but Yun Yao’s explanation immediately put him at ease. He then opened his mind to fully absorb the moon’s essence.

However, as he did so, a silver crescent moon mark gradually formed on his glabella. More strikingly, Bai Lan’s raven-black hair began to transform, slowly turning silver-white as it absorbed the moonlight.

Witnessing this, Yun Yao suddenly flew out from within Bai Lan’s body. She stared at Bai Lan’s transformation with an expression of utter surprise, as if everything unfolding before her was entirely unexpected.

“Strange,” Yun Yao murmured, her brows furrowed. “This indicates the Chaos Divine Bone is about to fully merge, meaning his Chaos Body is on the verge of awakening. But why is there such an imbalance of Yin and Yang? Seventy percent Yin power, thirty percent Yang power? How can this be?”

Bai Lan hailed from another world, making his destiny untraceable by the methods of this realm. Even the Heavenly Dao could not accurately predict what would happen to Bai Lan next, or what his future held.

For instance, Bai Lan’s current situation appeared to deviate significantly from Yun Yao’s understanding of a Chaos Body awakening.

Moreover, this strange phenomenon was not limited to Bai Lan. Simultaneously, at Xue Linglong’s residence, Xue Linglong, who was still deep in slumber, also began to emit a pure white light.

Unlike the moonlight, this power originated from within her Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart.

What an astonishing coincidence; why were two divine bodies awakening on the same day? Furthermore, a purple energy and a golden energy drifted out from both their bodies, inexplicably intertwining before being reabsorbed by each of them.

“Divine Body resonance? Their two divine bodies are awakening simultaneously? Fate, what trick are you playing?” Yun Yao’s confusion deepened.

No one knew how long all of this lasted. Bai Lan himself gradually drifted into a deep sleep, while Xue Linglong remained completely oblivious.

By the time Bai Lan awakened again, it was already the next morning.

She was awakened by someone.

“Sister Bai Lan, wake up, quickly, wake up! What happened to you? Why are you lying here?”

Bai Lan slowly stirred awake at the sound of the voice. The first thing she saw upon opening her eyes was Xue Linglong’s anxious face.

For some reason, Bai Lan felt as if she had enjoyed an incredibly comfortable, long sleep the previous day, a rest that left her feeling refreshed and invigorated, with all her worries swept away.

“What’s wrong? I think I was watching the moon yesterday and inexplicably fell asleep,” Bai Lan said, slowly sitting up.

“I also just woke up this morning and found you lying by the door,” Xue Linglong asked. “But, has something happened to you? Why do you look so strange today?”

Bai Lan was still unaware of what had transpired the previous night. After a careful recollection, she finally remembered absorbing the moon’s essence and accelerating the fusion of her Chaos Divine Bone with her physical body.

“Strange appearance? What’s strange about it?” Bai Lan hadn’t fully processed the question. But then, her peripheral vision caught sight of her own hair, and she finally understood.

In a daze, she grabbed a lock of her hair and examined it closely. Indeed, her hair had truly turned silver-white.

“No way,” Bai Lan muttered, feeling an increasing sense of unease. She rushed back to her room and looked into the dressing mirror.

What she saw left her utterly dumbfounded.

Who was this silver-haired maiden in the mirror? While the face was still his, her aura and eyes were entirely different from before. With silver hair and sky-blue pupils, she looked just like a female demon.

Moreover, as she became fully conscious, she realized that not only her hair and eye color had changed, but something about her physical body also felt amiss.

“No way? Could it be that I…?” Bai Lan wondered, still gazing at the ‘female demon’ in the mirror, as her hand inexplicably pressed against her groin.

At that touch, Bai Lan’s expression drastically changed. She hadn’t felt what she expected to feel.

“Yun… Yun Yao, what’s going on?” Bai Lan mentally cried out. “How did I become like this? My body even changed gender! What happened, tell me quickly!”

Indeed, overnight, Bai Lan’s Chaos Body had awakened, but her appearance had transformed, and even her gender had shifted. She was now, undeniably, a true young maiden.
