Tales of the Strange: Deceiving Gods and Buddhas with Painted-Skin Demons

Qingqing is bound by love, lamenting that the steadfast rock is not steadfast and resenting the cold-hearted grass. They were ill-fated lovers from the start, so why disturb a heart devoted to seeking the Dao?

Xu Ke, who became a painted-skin ghost after death, has long seen through the love and passion of this world. In this life, he seeks only the Dao, aided by a panel that grants experience and improves his supernatural abilities.

From [Hard to Tell Truth from Falsehood] to [So Real It Seems True], then to [Making the False Real]...

From [Painted Skin] to [Playing a God], then to [Deceiving Gods]...

From [Painted-Skin Ghost] to [Wilderness Obscene Sacrifice], then to [True Lord of the Mysterious Pure Wonderful Dharma]...

And so he embarks on a path of cultivation built on deceiving gods and tricking Buddhas.

At first, he was just a ghost in a desolate graveyard. The next time they met, he had become a god or Buddha towering above the heavens.
