The Villainous Eldest Senior Brother and His Yandere Junior Sisters

After his conversation with Zhu Wanning.

That night, Lin Xiao lay on the bed in his guest room, his mind cluttered, unable to sleep.

Ever since Ye Chen made his formal appearance at the sect, all sorts of situations had constantly arisen, impacting his Dao heart of cultivating towards immortality to varying degrees! If it were only his own junior sisters, that would have been one thing... But now, even Jiang Yuan, an errand person and supporting character from the original story, was making his heart tremble! Especially that scene where Jiang Yuan, after leaving him with three solemn words, charged alone towards the Ghost Witch Sect's army... it still surfaced in his mind.

Lin Xiao couldn't deceive himself.

If Second Junior Sister Yurong hadn't been injured at the time, he definitely would have stayed and fought alongside Jiang Yuan!

In a word!

Everything that had happened these days... made him feel intensely for the first time that whether it was his junior sisters, his Master, Zhu Wanning, Jiang Yuan, or even that bizarre boss, Sky Yin Boy... these people, they truly existed! Their joys, sorrows, anger, and happiness—all of it was real!

"With great power comes great responsibility..."

"Sigh, if I truly had the luck of the protagonist Ye Chen, with an old master guiding me, I wouldn't mind staying to save the Qinglan Sect and protect my junior sisters and Master..."

"What a pity all I have is this damned Idle Antagonist System!"

"Never mind. I'll just stick to the plan."

"I'll do my best to perform well in this final curtain call, the 'Five Branches Martial Assembly'! If any other major changes occur... I'll just accept my fate!"

After sorting through his emotions, Lin Xiao's mind became clear once more.

"Brother System, I can't even be bothered to complain about you anymore. Just tell me straight: is Yurong's side story considered complete this time?"

It was the first time he had communicated so calmly with the system. Although it was just an emotionless AI and not particularly useful, the familiar, official-sounding electronic voice still replied:

"Hello, Host. In the current side story, the part of the plot concerning you has met the character consistency standards. Please prepare diligently for the upcoming main storyline. Keep up the good work!~~"

"Alright, thank you, System."

Lin Xiao gave a bitter smile and decided not to dwell on it further.

Just then, another notification sound chimed:

"DING!"

"Congratulations, Host! Your 'Beiming Swallowing Celestial Power' has successfully refined and purified a portion of the baleful aura from ghost cultivators, assimilating it for your use!"

"[From targets: Ji Aotian (Dharma Appearance peak stage), Sky Yin Boy (Nascent Soul early stage)]!"

"DING!"

"Congratulations! Your cultivation level has successfully broken through! Golden Core peak stage → Dharma Appearance early stage!"

"Your 'Beiming Swallowing Heaven Immortal Skill' has been upgraded to the second level! (Added effect: Can now devour a target's Divine Soul to steal their spells and cultivation techniques! Note: Due to realm barriers, the enemy's cultivation level must be below the Host's.)"

"Hey, hey! So your 'Beiming Immortal Skill' is basically rogue software, huh? I didn't even activate it, and you've been running it quietly in the background?"

"This is just ridiculous!"

At this moment, Lin Xiao, who had only just managed to calm himself, burst out cursing again.

One had to know, Jiang Yuan had arduously cultivated on Enlightenment Cliff for sixty years and was currently only at the middle stage of the Dharma Appearance realm!

Yet, he had inexplicably entered the Dharma Appearance realm!

So I'm really the number one person in the Cultivation World for slacking off while ranking up, huh? Lin Xiao grumbled inwardly.

However, complaints were just complaints.

In the end, Lin Xiao couldn't resist introspecting.

Inside his boundless Dantian, the vast and immeasurable Beiming True Qi vortex, embodying both Yin and Yang, was like a great river flowing into the sea. It first split into countless streams, pouring into his limbs and meridians, before all converging back into the Golden Dao Lotus at its center.

After numerous cycles of circulation, the intensity of his internal breath and his physical constitution had already strengthened several tens of times compared to before! It aligned perfectly with his abnormally potent Divine Soul!

Wow, the purity of my Dharma Appearance is just off the charts!

First, after I stole the pills that night, my Divine Soul was inexplicably boosted to its peak. Now, it's paired with this top-tier internal engine—Beiming True Qi!

Am I really forging the strongest Dharma Appearance?

At this moment, Lin Xiao was filled with a myriad of emotions.

To say he was frustrated and speechless... well, it wasn't too bad.

After all, this tangible feeling of growing stronger, of his level of existence elevating... it was simply too wonderful.

So, my Dharma Appearance is...

Lin Xiao sat cross-legged, regulated his breathing, and gathered the Five Qi—

WHOOSH!

Within his boundless sea of consciousness, a supremely sacred and imposingly shaped golden Immortal Sword materialized, suspended in the center, emanating infinite, mysterious Dao principles!

And beneath this golden Immortal Sword, tens of thousands of longswords pointed skyward, continuously emitting waves of humming sounds, as if worshiping the emperor among swords!

What the hell, my Dharma Appearance... is actually a sword?

Lin Xiao found it somewhat incredible.

In the original story, as a cannon fodder villain, he hadn't even reached the Golden Core stage by the time he died, so naturally, there was no mention of his Dharma Appearance.

However, the Dharma Appearances of his three junior sisters were each more dazzling than the last!

The Dharma Appearance of his beautiful Master, the reincarnation of the Taiyin Sword Emperor, was an Azure Phoenix Divine Bird, imbued with the mighty power of the Moon Goddess from the Toad Palace, roaring furiously towards the sky!

And yet for him, it turned out to be just an ordinary-looking sword?

It's acceptable, I suppose. After all, I'm a cannon fodder villain, so it's somewhat fitting.

Lin Xiao shook his head and lay down again.

Just then, a series of soft, rustling knocks came from outside the door.

Immediately after, a gentle and delicate young girl's voice sounded:

"Eldest Senior Brother, Weiwei is feeling a bit panicked and restless. Tonight... can I sleep with you?"

Hearing this, Lin Xiao shot up from his near-deathbed state in alarm!

This girl just woke up not long ago, and she's trying to stir up trouble again?

After the previous poisoning incident, Lin Xiao was somewhat apprehensive of this seemingly innocent junior sister.
