Legend of the Great Sage

Chapter 1461: The Fifth Layer of the Ape Demon

According to the way he had practised it, the Heavenly Tome of Liberty was not a cultivation method at all. How were regular people supposed to comprehend the spirit of great destruction and great annihilation?

He had first gone from the Demon Suppression Statuary to the Battle Demon Statuary before obtaining a cultivation method that had been created at the end of a world like the Sovereign's Limit Record of World Destruction. That alone involved a tremendous amount of luck.

During this process, he had personally witnessed the remains of the world before destroying the nine provinces as well as a world with his own hands.

Only then did he comprehend what great destruction and great annihilation was. When he began practising the Heavenly Tome of Liberty, he obviously went down a path like this, continuing until he comprehended a move as devastating and brutal as the Divine Fire of World Destruction. Even now, he had yet to witness the limits of its destructive power.

He had always faced tremendous pressure to survive, so there was nothing strange about him embarking on a path like this.

However, for regular cultivators, or even significantly talented Reincarnated Celestials, they would never destroy a world for the sake of cultivation. They would only start off from the beginning obediently.

For example, they would find a woman to dual cultivate with and experience the joys of procreation and the meaning of the great harmony of life.

That was the most "normal" way of cultivation. He had gotten everything the wrong way round.

I see! I see! So I've been doing everything backwards the entire time!

Coming to an understanding, Li Qingshan began to laugh aloud.

In the illusion, all Chao Tianjiao saw was her "lover" smile away delightfully. She grumbled, "What are you smiling for?"

Li Qingshan only smiled. A third of his Yin Soul had already vanished. The illusion was already on the verge of collapsing and shattering.

He circulated the Spirit Turtle Transformation as hard as he could to find the other possibility that existed in the Heavenly Tome of Liberty.

No wonder my soul nascence lost control when I underwent the fourth heavenly tribulation, determined to destroy me. If I were a regular cultivator, the soul nascence would have just blown itself up! Why would I even still bother with cultivation? It's not like the old turtle comprehended the Heavenly Tome of Liberty to screw over the disciples of his own sect. There must be a simpler path available.

I comprehended the Cycle of Life and Growth from the Qilin Transformation, which just happens to restrain the rampaging Yin Soul. Looks like this isn't a coincidence. From birth to annihilation, from creation to destruction. That is the normal path of cultivation for the Heavenly Tome of Liberty.

This was the consequence of serving as the test subject of a new cultivation method with no one to scout things out ahead of him. However, it was still not too late for him to realise what was going on. It could even be considered as perfect timing.

This path was simply too easy to him.

He had once created the World of the Five Continents that was even vaster than the World of the Nine Provinces with his own bare hands. He had once comprehended the true meaning of the endless cycle of life and growth from the Qilin's Conventions of Longevity. Most importantly, he himself possessed the great desire to procreate and multiply. Otherwise, he would not try and "mess" with Chao Tianjiao at a time like this when he would die for sure.

Comprehending procreation and creation would always be much easier than destruction and annihilation.

Chao Tianjiao shut her eyes firmly as the seven stars in her Yang Soul shone away. The illusion was about to collapse.

She furrowed her brows as she vaguely found her "lover" to be rather familiar, even a little loathsome.

Right when she was about to awaken from her dream, the spirit turtle completed its calculations!

Li Qingshan leaned over and kissed her delicate, red lips that resembled a rose, abruptly reversing the Heavenly Tome of Liberty. The Yin Soul that was originally filled with the will of destruction and annihilation changed altogether.

At the end of destruction and annihilation, life prospered, like the tiny blades of grass and the flowers that bloomed and sprouted after the flames razed the ground.

His gaze towards Chao Tianjiao was filled with love and gentleness, like the river that meandered through the land, nourishing the creatures on its banks.

Suddenly, she found her "lover" to be exceptionally charming, which enchanted her even more. The feeling of familiarity did not vanish. Instead, it became much more intense, making her believe that their union right now had been fated in their past life.

The method of dual cultivation began to circulate, and the Yin Soul was no longer worn down by the Yang Soul. Instead, it was nourished slightly. The illusion immediately stabilised.

"Tianjiao." He removed her final piece of clothing. He was so solemn that he was almost sincere, like this was no longer a prank.

She also looked at him with a smile. Her body glowed dimly in the light of spring, like a goddess, pulling him into her arms proactively.

With a moan, they finally merged together, like the first man and woman in the world releasing their most primitive feelings of love.

The Yin Soul and Yang Soul entangled together, completely becoming one.

Even more wondrously, Li Qingshan, who was the male, happened to be the Yin Soul, while Chao Tianjiao, as the female, was the Yang Soul.

At the limits of yin was yang and at the limits of yang was yin. Yin and yang revolved, constraining one another and feeding one another, truly reaching the great harmony of life.

It was as if the dream would never end.

He only felt extremely elated, even if it would be nothing after the dream, even if they parted in life and death, even if they turned against each other afterwards. As long as he felt satisfied right now, that was enough.

In the stone tower, a black ape's tail extended out from Li Qingshan's back. "Eeek-aak-eek!"

With a rumble, the Ape Demon Transformation broke through the fifth layer!

We are Hosted Nov3l, find us on g00gle.

The small world swelled and expanded, changing in quality and becoming brand-new. All of the transformations that had been suppressed for all this time returned to their original cultivations.

The fifth layer of the ox demon! The fifth layer of the tiger demon! The fifth layer of the phoenix! The fifth layer of the spirit turtle!

Power surged forth, both new and old, rampaging through the small world.

Within the furious clashes of the demonic and divine, they reached a new balance that was soon broken again, continuing until they formed a stable system. All of the power began to condense.

His cultivation rapidly climbed!

"Eeek-aak!"

Li Qingshan leapt to his feet and somersaulted. With each drastic advance in his cultivation, he somersaulted. He made a total of three hundred and twenty one in the end.

In his delight, he did not forget about his great benefactor, Chao Tianjiao.

The dream constantly changed, and they constantly encountered one another, loved one another and united together in different places under different identities. She had completely forgotten her original appearance by now.

He ruled over the dream, converting yin to yang, using gentleness to overwhelm brute force, constantly wearing away the overly-sharp edge in her Yang Soul. Her power that was already extremely pure became even more pure, but it was no longer as harsh and cold as before, no longer so difficult to control.

That was what he had promised. Now, he had achieved it.

By absorbing the power in her Yang Soul as well as the nourishment from the demonic egg of chaos, his Yin Soul's cultivation constantly grew as well. The realm of Yang Soul was already in sight.

As long as he wanted to, he could pull her into a deeper dream and advance his cultivation further.

The path of dual cultivation never departed from two concepts, which was harvesting yin to replenish yang and harvesting yang to replenish yin.

However, he did not do that. Instead, he made the dream become shallower and shallower, so it became closer and closer to reality. Eventually, it could not become any more shallow. They returned to the river bank with poplars and willows.

She recalled everything about her and blanked out for a moment. In such a short period of time, she had gone through countless lives, experiencing joy she had never experienced before. She had become as familiar as she could be with Li Qingshan's appearance too.

In the shallow dream, they were still entangled together with their hearts open to one another.

"You…" Chao Tianjiao's expression changed. There was embarrassment, anger, confusion, and a hint of reluctance.

"Senior sister."

Li Qingshan smiled at her. Perhaps it was just because he wanted to see her expression right now, or perhaps it was because he wanted her to survive!
