Strange Tales of the Late Ming: The Unorthodox Path to Godhood

Fang Lin unexpectedly transmigrates to the thirtieth year of the Wanli reign in the Ming dynasty, and even becomes the son of a wealthy family!

Fang Lin thinks he can spend his whole life indulging in luxury. After all, it is only the thirtieth year of Wanli, and the Ming dynasty has another forty years before its fall. With ancient medical care, he probably will not live long enough to see the dynasty collapse. By then, he will be in his sixties, with one foot in the grave and hardly able to make waves.

But in the next moment, Fang Lin is dumbfounded. It is the Ming dynasty, all right, but something is seriously off about it!

This world is home not only to demons and ghosts, but also to all kinds of cultivators!

In the Central Plains are the Buddhist, Daoist, and Confucian schools; beyond the passes are shamans and spirit mediums...

Luckily, Fang Lin discovers that he brought a Celestial Pearl of the Left-Hand Path with him when he transmigrated. It records countless sorceries of the Left-Hand Path!

Paper Effigy Craft: Paper effigies can make the false seem real, bridge the worlds of yin and yang, and turn paper into people to steal souls and claim lives!

Witchcraft and Curses: Practitioners use objects to curse their foes, relying on hair and nails as links. They turn one person's fortune against another, and when the victim dies, their soul is destroyed!

Gu magic, flying-head sorcery, summoning souls, the Yin-Yang Road, the Blood-Transforming Divine Blade, plague magic, the Twin Energies of Ha and Heng, the Seven Arrows Book of Nail-Head Curses…

No matter how sinister the demons and monsters are, can they really be more sinister than my Left-Hand Path?

With the Celestial Pearl of the Left-Hand Path in hand, Fang Lin gazes across the beautiful rivers and mountains of the Central Plains and murmurs to himself: A man must make something of himself in this life. I refuse to live in obscurity. If I cannot feast from five cauldrons in life, then let me be boiled in five cauldrons in death!
