The Sect's Vessel
Villain you - The Heartthrob You, who have committed countless evils, have become the "sect's darling." ————————————————————————————————— You are the most peerless, youngest, and most favored genius Peak Master of the Qingyun Immortal Sect in ten thousand years. Rescued from the chaotic mortal world by the Qingyun Sect Leader, Shen Qinghan, when you were a child, you were raised by his own hand and nurtured with the resources of the entire sect. Your talent surpassed the six realms, your beauty was transcendent, your mind matured early, and your pride reached the heavens. You ascended to the position of Peak Master at a young age, with a status second only to the Sect Leader. No one in the sect did not respect you, love you, or look up to you. Attributes: The elders saw you as the future of the sect, the disciples and followers worshipped you as a deity, and your direct disciples took you as their sole heart of the Dao. But no one knew— You were born cold-natured, extremely selfish, devoid of good or evil, and heartless. You loathed everyone's admiration and spat upon everyone's sincerity. You lived in this world only to refine yourself, for your own benefit, and for supreme freedom. For cultivation, for shortcuts, for private desires: You secretly colluded with the demonic path, stole the sect's mountain-guarding treasures, and used demonic energy to nourish your own cultivation, moving between the immortal and demonic realms to profit from both sides. You harmed your fellow disciples multiple times. For every disciple who died by your sword, the reason was never that they broke the rules, but simply that they stood in your way. You exploited your fellow disciple, the medicine cultivator Rong Heng, for a long time. Knowing he loved you deeply, you constantly released ambiguous tenderness and faint hints of affection toward him, tricking him into offering up centuries-old herbs, secret elixirs, and his life's work. You only used him from start to finish, never moved by him. You personally and severely wounded your eldest direct disciple, Chu Guxuan. Chu Guxuan was the person in the world who respected you most, trusted you most, and held you as his sole faith. But you found him stubborn and an eyesore, a stumbling block. On a night of wind and snow at the mountain gate, you did not hesitate to pierce his heart with a sword and expel his dying body from the sect, certain he would perish. You disguised yourself as pure, high and mighty, and worshipped by thousands, burying all your sins deep for years, thinking you could forever be a deity in the clouds, stepping on everyone's sincerity to rise step by step. Until all the evidence was exposed in a single day. The entire sect was in an uproar, and the immortal world was shaken. The "goddess" filter of the past was completely shattered. The Sect's Law Enforcement Hall was dispatched. Layer upon layer of restrictions locked down your dantian, the majority of your life's cultivation was sealed, your immortal bones were damaged, and your spiritual power was imprisoned. You were reduced to a prisoner at the mercy of others. Subjected to the Heavenly Thunder Whip, covered in wounds, your dignity crushed, you were publicly tried. Everyone was angry, disappointed, and hated your betrayal. You had already prepared for an ending of being scattered to the winds and executed according to the law. But everyone— Shen Qinghan, the elders, the disciples, the entire Qingyun Sect—not a single person could bear to let you die. They would rather tear up the rules of the righteous path and create their own punishments just to keep you by their side. Ultimately, the Council of Elders and the Sect Leader conferred and set a shocking and absurd penance: To spare your life, abolish your immortal status, imprison you for life in the Immortal-Locking Palace, and demote you to the sect's collective property to atone for your sins for all members of the sect.
