So the story start with a village boy in a certain village. What made this boy special is the he have "innate wisdom"="Reincarnate". His parents left him an inheritance a very ordinary bull. He grew with the bull and become a part time farmer but when he starts dreaming of his past life; He starts to yearn for adventure. Thats where he learned that his inheritance isn't simple as a bull. So that marks the journey to become a Demon or a Saint.

From the current chapter people might think his becoming OP but he is supposed to be due to him being a cultivator in a world of martial arts; It's just he cultivate the body and people tend to classify it as a martial arts training. (Difference is he cultivate the body using world energy rather than pumping up muscles.)

He goes to a cultivation school, because he wants to avoid getting killed by a sect, immediately after he gets there, before even entering the school, he makes a deal with a local leader of the sect to leave him alone, then is immediately sent on a mission outside of the school. Like, the whole point was to avoid being in danger from powerful enemies wasn't it? What was even the point if he can just get sent out on missions anyways? Plus he recognizes obvious traps and then walks right into them, for no reason, it's incredibly annoying.

The main character does not just steadily grow, he goes through phases, at first he was a weak villager, then he started cultivating and became more heroic, then he became more ruthless and domineering when he gained proficiency in his martial arts, but then when his martial arts merge he transforms from the seemingly powerful human body tempering martial artist, into a 10 feet tall bull demon, and from what I read in the tags and the new cover it seems he will eventually get his human form back, I mean I love how he turns into a big demon, but it gets in the way of a lot of things if you want romance and such things in the novel, but if it just a small part of the big I can see myself really enjoying how he deals with turning into a monster from a human.

he barely won in most of his fights and he did lose, ran away from his enemies, or get killed. But later got the ability to resurrect himself so dying is not a big deal for him

The main character Li Qingshan is very likeable and his interactions quite unique

his cultivation starts VERY slow, but it starts picking up around chapter 390+

His personality is pretty average, he won't act like he's a saint but he's not letting his daemon side change him either, a 50/50. (Personally, I like his daemon side the most, maybe because human cultivators are the norm)

Xiao An, Li Qingshan's companion, keeps his daemon side on check while being as powerful as Qingshan himself

(maybe not as strong as Li Qingshan right now but you know she will always stay around his powerlevel)

She has a very robotic personality and is very adorable

(she just recovererd her memories so this might change)

But the author wronged this character so bad it's crazy, at the start of the story she would travel with Li Qingshan, fight alongside with him, cultivate, have some wholesome moments and some character development.

But now all we get is Xiao An sitting for months in buddhist temples because the big brain author won't stop sh*tting these buddhist masters who find out that Xiao An has a buddhist affinity, of course, these monks will ALWAYS manage to force Xiao An into becoming their disciple because their cultivation will always be 1 or 2 realms above Li Qingshan's, coincidence? I think not!

Why? Is it because she's too strong and teaming up with Qingshan would be too overpowered so he has to take her out of the story for a while? That isn't the reader's problem, the author himself should've known this would happen when he wrote her techniques earlier, also I think we all saw through this Cicada guy promise as a way to keep Xiao An out of the story, shameless.

(Maybe I went a bit too hard with the Xiao An part, but man i've read 662 chapters and now I'm slightly invested, so I do have the right to complain about the author actively taking Xiao An out of the story)

About the side characters I won't say much because the author has recently started obsessing over the "karma" and "karmic ties", so I expect everyone dying sooner or later because Li Qingshan will stop caring about them.

The fights are pretty good, not over the top exaggerations like: (his sword slash severed the myriad dao, the karmic cycles, the ying and yang, mt. Tai and killed the author as well)

So far the most interesting fight was Qingshan's vs Lolth, the techniques were on point, Qingshan's breakthrough made sense and the reason for the fight wasn't petty, by the way i've read people say that Qingshan "r*ped" a woman (i guess they're talking about little Lolth?) which is completely untrue because:

1st. Lolth is a demon spider who transformed into a human after the tribulation, so she's still a demonic animal

2nd. The author clearly stated that Lolth "played" with her victims before eating them

3rd. Once Lolth trapped Qingshan with her silk, only his face (we know our boy Northmoon is a jade beauty) and his "lower" half remained intact, so we knew what was coming if he lost

4th. Qingshan outsmarted and defeated Lolth so he had the right give her a taste of her own medicine, and even though she was unwilling at the start, it wasn't because of the act itself but because Qingshan was a Demon General while she was a Demon Commander. (You dare!?)

The fight with the Corpse King? I didn't care one bit, honestly, can we get rid of zombies and ghosts in Wuxia novels? They're just sponges taking infinite damage then regenerating or growing stronger!

I would even say it was filler but Xiao An got a little bit of development so whatever.

Also i've read people say there aren't young masters in this novel which is wrong

The sword dude Fu Qingjin is a young master in disguise, also Zhou Zhibo, Mo Yu and Si Qing.

Just because they don't directly ask Li Qingshan to kowtow 100 times, slap himself 100 times, cut his left arm and hand over his jade beauties (he only has one and she's not known for her beauty!) doesn't mean they're not young masters, all of them are/were delusional and used the names of their sect/master/title or position to throw their weight around or to oppress people.

I loved the bull part and him turning into a demon and the subsequent events. Very fun part of the story.
