"Junior Sister, no need for such politeness. We're all fellow sect members, brothers and sisters—guiding one another is simply our responsibility."
A soft smile appeared on Shao Sidao's face, resembling the gentle spring sunshine, which swiftly dissolved the emotional barrier among the nearby disciples.
"Cultivation's journey stretches endlessly, and as your senior brothers and sisters, it's natural for us to mentor the juniors, ensuring you avoid any missteps along the cultivation path."
His words had barely landed when the disciples around him nodded fervently in agreement, their voices overflowing with admiration.
"Senior Brother Young Sect Leader sets the perfect example for us all! His talent is unmatched, achieving the Fourth Tribulation of Primordial Spirit Middle Realm in mere centuries, yet he remains so modest. Any other sect's True Disciple wouldn't bother patiently instructing us Inner Sect Disciples like this!"
"Exactly, exactly! Senior Brother Young Sect Leader holds the title of our sect's youngest Primordial Spirit Realm powerhouse, bound to ascend to Unity Realm someday and propel our Myriad Phenomena Dao Sect toward greater splendor!"
"The greatest fortune in my life was joining the Spiritual Charm Blessed Land and becoming Junior Brothers and Sisters under Senior Brother Young Sect Leader. Cultivating alongside him guarantees our swift realm breakthroughs!"
"Senior Brother Young Sect Leader boasts immense power and a compassionate soul. Back when Demon Beasts ravaged the village below our sect's mountain, he stepped in personally, slaughtering the beasts and rescuing every mortal there—such rare kindness!"
Amid the sincere adulation and reverence from the crowd, Shao Sidao kept his smile warm and approachable, though a faint glint of disdain and satisfaction hid deep within his gaze.
This sensation thrilled him—he relished the adoration, the worship, the endless flattery from others. He savored seeing these clueless disciples idolize him as a god.
His patient instruction of the disciples stemmed not from sect camaraderie or true kindness.
Rather, he reveled in the rush of being idolized, in dominating all with his superior power and rank.
To him, Inner Sect Disciples and True Disciples alike:
served merely as pieces to display his prestige, instruments to maintain his facade as the "noble, kind-hearted Young Sect Leader."
Those stories of vanquishing Demon Beasts and rescuing mortals? Just a show put on for the sect elders and the broader world.
All to amplify his fame, secure the elders' faith, and cement his role as Young Sect Leader.
For centuries, that deceptive persona had etched itself into Shao Sidao's very core.
Occasionally, even he nearly convinced himself of his own gentlemanly nature.
Yet only he understood the brutal, self-serving viciousness lurking beneath that mild demeanor.
Once, Junior Sister Yun Shu boasted millennial-level prodigious talent. Her aptitude in cultivation outshone everyone, earning her the sect's top genius label, with prospects far exceeding his own.
Envy consumed him over Yun Shu's gifts, he yearned for her Tao Body Origin, and desired her stunning looks as well.
Regrettably, that spiteful Yun Shu rejected his pursuits outright, humiliating him in front of others.
She professed love only for Five Treasures, utterly refusing to be his Dao Companion.
How dare she liken me to that loser Five Treasures, claiming I'm beneath that trash!
Right then, Shao Sidao resolved that Yun Shu would suffer for her insolence!
Thus, he meticulously plotted to draw Yun Shu away from the sect on a mission, ambushing and seizing her.
Subjecting her to endless torments, he employed Forbidden Techniques to plunder her Talent Origin and Cultivation Foundation.
Devouring Yun Shu's talent and cultivation base skyrocketed his progress to horrifying levels, elevating his already superior aptitude to freakish heights.
He rocketed to become the sect's most dazzling prodigy ever, advancing to the Fourth Tribulation of Primordial Spirit Middle Realm in the process.
Regarding Five Treasure Taoist, Yun Shu's childhood companion and brother figure with unbreakable bonds—after her demise, he quietly probed the incident and faintly detected Shao Sidao's involvement.
Shao Sidao couldn't tolerate such a lurking threat, yet his actions were flawlessly concealed without traces, so outright slaying Five Treasure Taoist risked alerting the elders and derailing everything.
Luckily, that fool had consorted with Devils before, landing him in the Holy Alliance Heavenly Prison.
To Shao Sidao, that prison equaled a mortal hell; not even Primordial Spirit Realm masters could survive it.
Five Treasure Taoist, a mere Golden Core Realm minor cultivator, was doomed to die there, sealing the secret forever.
Through the years, he basked in luxury, soaking up universal praise while firmly entrenching his position.
Needing only to reach the Fifth Tribulation of Primordial Spirit, claim the Sect Leader throne officially, and the whole Ten Thousand Years Dao Sect would bow to him.
Never did he foresee that Five Treasure Taoist, fated to rot in the Holy Alliance Heavenly Prison, got liberated!
Shao Sidao vividly recalled the shock when reports of the Holy Alliance's public execution of Five Treasure Taoist swept through Central State Domain. He believed the danger finally vanquished, only for rescue news to follow.
emerging to save Five Treasure Taoist.
Who could that savior be?
It was an existence so fearsome that even the Holy Alliance Master, Demon Clan Lord,
and Demon Race Master—three Unity Realm titans—trembled in dread.
Recalling that entity sent chills racing through Shao Sidao's body, dread crashing over his heart like raging waves.
For years, he'd dispatched agents covertly to track Five Treasure Taoist's location, finding nothing. He prayed Five Treasure
Taoist stayed vanished forever, while dreading his abrupt return to unveil every dark deed from the past.
