Proving the Dao Through Clones

Two secret manuals, and a storm of bloodshed sweeps across Dayin.

Dong An transmigrates to Dayin and unexpectedly splits into two bodies.

One body is as ugly as a pig and cannot cultivate Yang arts, but can command ghosts, tame beasts, and take in spirit foxes and snake demons.

The other is handsome and refined, cultivates Buddhism and the Dao, excels at literature and Confucian learning, and has divine help when practicing Yang arts, but cannot practice Yin arts.

Yet Dong An has only one consciousness.

The two bodies can only take turns sleeping and waking. Dong An is forever wide awake.

To put an end to this torment, Dong An sets out on the path to enlightenment.

Everyone knows there are two people in this world named Dong An.

One Yin and one Yang, one wicked and one righteous.

A Buddhist elder rages at Dong An: “A man like you wants to become king of all ghosts and monsters, curry favor with the imperial family, rule the pleasure quarters, and call the Northern Gu and Southern Fiend your brothers? You are a disgrace to humanity!”

The Qingqiu fox demon rages at Dong An: “With all that Yang energy, you could have gone to a temple and become a bald monk, but instead you roam the world with your mastery of literature and the Dao, slaying spirits, and share a name with the master of our demon clan. Just seeing you annoys me!”

Until one day.

The Princess flung her teacup to the floor, her almond-shaped eyes wide with shock.

“Dong An, you... have two bodies?”
