"Stingy over a little money? In your eyes, Resting in Supreme Goodness means living somewhere nice?"
Hearing this, Lin Ke shook his head again, finding it somewhat amusing.
Countless people in later generations had annotated, explained, and interpreted Resting in Supreme Goodness, but dwelling in a place of supreme goodness was the most superficial, simplistic interpretation of all.
Anyone with a deeper understanding knew that it meant striving to cultivate oneself until one attained supreme goodness, then remaining at that pinnacle of virtue.

With only Second Realm cultivation, Lin Ke dared expound his own interpretation of the Great Learning, one of the Four Books and Five Classics?
That could lead to a clash over the Sacred Path!
Generally, people only began proclaiming their own interpretations of texts after reaching the Great Confucian Realm.
At the same time, the construction of their Literary Hearts would incorporate some of their own convictions.
For instance, some believed in Innate Goodness, while others believed in Innate Evil. This was a clash over the Sacred Path.
