Legend of the Great Sage

of Liberty on his forehead.
He just began comprehending like that.

Perhaps because it was truly compatible with his disposition, the comprehension process was extremely smooth.
The cultivation method was deep, extensive, and absolutely ingenious, but it could not stop him.
He had the Nine Transformations of the Demonic and Divine as a foundation.
The deductive abilities of the Spirit Turtle Transformation and the Ape Demon Transformation’s liking to do whatever it wanted became powerful sources of assistance before he knew it.

Two types of light appeared on his body at the same time.
At first, they conflicted and restricted one another before gradually merging together, forming an unpredictable glow that enveloped Li Qingshan, reflecting his expression.
Sometimes, it was twisted and terrifying like a vicious demon’s, and at other times, it was soft and gentle like a woman’s.
Toward the end, the two faces gradually merged together, and the light was absorbed into his dantian.

He had just comprehended twenty or thirty percent of it, and he had unified the Sovereign’s Limit Record of World Prosperity and the Sovereign’s Limit Record of World Destruction, combining the concepts of birth and death, prosperity and decline.
Then he converted it into the Heavenly Tome of Liberty.

Li Qingshan suddenly opened his eyes and gazed at the sunlight that flickered between the golden canopy.
He said to himself, “Only the saviour of the world possesses the right to destroy the world.
Only the destroyer of the world possesses the ability to save the world.”

With a rumble, the light consolidated.

A half-transparent infant appeared in Li Qingshan’s dantian, which bore great resemblance to him.
That was the Soul Nascence which all great cultivators possessed.

Originally, he thought he could no longer condense a soul nascence after entering the demonic path, but he never expected the Heavenly Tome of Liberty to be so impressive, actually able to reverse his demon heart and recondense a soul nascence.
It truly was a feat that the lord of the demons, Maheśvara, was capable of.

The path of great liberty was not simply a demonic path.
It had surpassed the regular concepts of good and evil, right and wrong, paving a path that all people strived towards.

The buddha had said that all people could become buddhas, but that also meant all people could become demons.

What all people were after was liberty.
They wanted to let their hearts and desires run free so that they could do whatever they wanted.
Humans were probably closer to demons than buddhas.
Could he say that Maheśvara understood people better than the buddha?

The various demonic thoughts all sprouted from the heart.
A single thought was all that separated them from becoming demons that haunted people.

When mortals wanted to accomplish something, they needed to be careful.
They had to show humility, self-awareness, and self-restraint.
Once they made the wrong step, then their entire life would go to waste.
It might even cost them their lives.

It went even more without saying when it came to something as significant as cultivation.
Their bodies contained terrifying powers, and thousands of thoughts flew through their heads with each moment.
As such, how could they dare to be free and act as they pleased? If they acted on all of their thoughts, they would suffer from cultivation deviation, which would lead to eternal damnation from the slightest carelessness.
They would not even be able to enter saṃsāra.
As a result, this was both a path that everyone yearned for, yet it was also even more difficult than buddhist cultivation that was riddled with precepts.
Very few people could walk a path like this.

Li Qingshan rubbed his belly. It’s as if I’m pregnant! Haha! He could not help but laugh complacently as the thought of this “ingenious” comparison.

“You’ve already comprehended the Heavenly Tome of Liberty!”

Sensing the disturbance, Ruan Yaozhu came over to take a look.
She was astonished.

The Myriad Heavenly Tomes were all extremely profound.
Back then, she had taken several years to comprehend the Heavenly Tome of Nature, and that was already very fast.
He had only snoozed under the tree.
A short moment after waking up, he converted his cultivation into the heavenly tome.
Was he perhaps some rare genius of cultivation?

This was not just due to Li Qingshan’s foundation from the Sovereign's Limit Record of World Destruction and the Sovereign’s Limit Record of World Prosperity and the great support from the Nine Transformations of the Demonic and Divine.
It was not just due to his compatibility with the cultivation method either.

The Heavenly Tome of Liberty was filled with difficulties and angers, but it did come with one benefit, which was speed.
It was so fast that it could leave the cultivator afraid, so fast that he could lose control at any moment and suffer from cultivation deviation.

Li Qingshan got up on his feet.
“Senior sister, I can start working now.”
