A Dao Rival and a Potterhead

"Sect Master! Master! Grandmaster! Grandma!"

Get out of here!

"I am your disciple!"

"From today onwards, you are expelled from the Azure Cloud Sect!"

"No way! At the very least, incorporate Harry Potter's teachings into the sect before expelling me!"

The Azure Cloud Sect is a legitimate sect for cultivating immortality.

Although Shion, as the sect leader, has lenient requirements for her disciples, she generally doesn't interfere with what they study.

Bai Mei is a sword cultivator, Blue Flower uses puppets with Four Leaves or Six Leaves- shaped magic arrays.

The paths may differ, but the great way is inherently diverse, and all roads lead to the same destination; Shion naturally wouldn't object.

But the Yarrow is an exception.

She created her own unique external sect, but instead of learning any of the skills of the Azure Cloud ancestors, she simply imitated Harry Potter.

Of course, if that were all, Shion wouldn't have thought much of it.

After all, the Azure Cloud Sect is quite open-minded.

Shion wasn't some pedantic person. So what if it was a heretical path? She just needed to cultivate honestly and not hinder the internal development of the Azure Cloud Sect.

But that won't work.

Yarrow is a die-hard Harry Potter fan. What does "die-hard fan" mean?

Fans who possess a strong spirit of self-propagation and dedication, like a virus, are what we call die-hard fans.

They are believers at heart.

Generally speaking, these fans fall into two categories.

The first type is the easiest to deal with, but also the most annoying. They are extremely aggressive, exclusive, and fanatical believers who think their own work is the best and all other works are trash.

Shion held such free online trolls in utter contempt, being led by the nose by capital. She had only spoken the truth back then: Harry Potter was still quite a distance from being a web novel.

Hopefully, the author can read more online novels and learn how real novels are written to improve themselves. At the very least, they could plagiarize Dragon Raja.

Only in this way can truly good works be created, instead of garbage that needs capital promotion to gain some popularity.

As a result, he was relentlessly attacked by Harry Potter's die-hard fans.

Am I wrong?

They can't stand hearing a single truth, and they even dare to argue that most online novels are truly garbage! They say that no matter how bad Harry Potter is, it's still better than any ordinary online novel.

Shion laughed when she saw it.

I feel like the people opposite me are elementary school students; I'm about to cry.

He didn't attack Harry Potter; he just stated the facts and got so worked up that he started talking nonsense. He only knows how to use his own methods to criticize online articles with unfounded reasons.

Most online novels have detailed upgrade settings and processes, which is already beyond what Harry Potter can compare to.

Originally, Shion was unwilling to engage in a verbal exchange with the other party, since who wants to waste time arguing with an elementary school student?

Unexpectedly, the other party brought up "Shrouding the Heavens," saying that even if "Shrouding the Heavens" and Harry Potter were to be compared, they would only have their own strengths and weaknesses, and it would be impossible to simply determine a winner.

To even mention the Western European dragon Dragon Raja is an understatement of Harry Potter; they're incredibly arrogant and dare to defy the heavens!

Shion immediately started arguing with the other party for three days and three nights, if only she could have found out where the other party was at the time.

She planned to go directly to their door and have them admit in person that Harry Potter was far inferior to the Shrouding the Heavens!

Having experienced the baptism of such Harry Potter fanatics, Shion had absolutely no desire to communicate with them.

Lacking basic aesthetic sense and discernment, all they do is talk nonsense and repeat themselves, and they don't even dare to challenge people offline.

What was that saying called again?

Yes, functional illiteracy.

Students who like Harry Potter are a group of functionally illiterate people; you can't reason with illiterate people.

Of course, if Yarrow is that kind of fan, then it's quite easy to handle. She's annoying and will soon be marginalized. If she takes any extreme actions, Bingtang can even persuade her to quit.

This rebellious magical girl should be sent to the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau.

But Yarrow just wouldn't go; she preferred to stay at the Azure Cloud Sect.

What troubled Shion the most was that Yarrow wasn't the first kind of fanatic.

Instead, it's the second type: the fake fanatic.

A fake fanatic will behave just like a normal person, with almost no discernible difference in daily life. To any negation you make, they will simply nod and say "yes, yes, yes, okay, okay."

Then, at crucial moments, they reveal their true colors and fiercely support their favorite works.

It spreads the virus everywhere, and is even more deadly than the first type.

The first type can detoxify in time, while the second type, like Yarrow, simply cannot be expelled from the sect from the very beginning.

By the time they realized it, it was too late!

"Harry Potter is boring, lacks a reasonable class system, and is so ugly, yet you like it?"

"You can like something even if it's ugly, Sect Master! Web novels are good, but Harry Potter is one of a kind!"

"Nonsense! Online novels are truly unique!"

"There are a thousand Harry Potter in a thousand online novels, Master!"

See, it's like this.

It's hopeless.

Shion originally wanted to shake off the opponent, but the Yarrow's flight speed was not slow.

This is also a major reason why Shion dislikes Yarrow.

Yarrow possesses exceptional talent; she entered the Azure Cloud Sect quite late in life.

At that time Seven True Disciples were already full. After all, the Seven True Disciples were the seven most talented and strongest people in the Azure Cloud Sect, and their purpose was essentially to motivate the disciples.

Everyone is striving to achieve the goal of passing on the Seven True Disciples.

According to Bingtang Tang, it's an excellent employee system.

In Shion's view, traditional cultivation emphasizes a strict hierarchy and differences in talent. Without special titles and status to reflect this, the meaning of a sect's existence would be greatly diminished.

Yarrow, who joined the Azure Cloud Sect much later, immediately began promoting Harry Potter Harry Potter arrival, telling all the disciples about its merits and fun.

He even eliminated one of the Seven True Disciples in just three months and squeezed into the position of the Seven True Disciples.

For Shion, it wasn't just about disgust.

Looking at the Yarrow, one feels a sense of pity and hatred for a once-in-a-millennium genius who has strayed into the Magic Dao and is doomed to eternal damnation.

What a waste of talent!

Now, he is the disciple who broke through to the new realm of Lush Leaves the fastest in the entire sect.

For example, at one point Shion wasn't taking things seriously and couldn't shake off the tagalong behind her.

Yarrow, who had been sitting sideways on the broom, now sat upright, legs clamped around the broom, chasing after her sect leader. She pressed down on her wizard's hat and shouted, "And I think our Harry Potter series has some very web novel-like settings, like the Emperor Level and Half-Emperor Level, which are popular among our readers. They're similar to our sect's cultivation setting! Some web novel settings aren't as rigorous as Harry Potter's— "

"Fart!"

Originally intending to thoroughly shed this true disciple's Shion finally stopped, immediately turning around and retorting with a serious expression. "Far from it! What do you know, you little brat? Is your so-called Emperor Level or Half-Emperor Level official setting? Did the author even know she had that level? Such a clumsy imitation, how dare you even utter it!"

Yarrow finally stopped, panting as she patted her face.

Keeping up with the sect leader is no easy feat.

Although she should be the fastest flying person in the entire Azure Cloud Sect, even Yumo is not as fast as her now.

She even used the magic that was originally used to suppress the anti-gravity hat!

But ultimately, there's still a gap between him and the sect leader.

However, Yarrow was not intimidated at all; it simply retracted one leg and sat sideways on the broom again.

It wasn't because she wanted to maintain her elegance, but because her thighs hurt from holding the broom between her legs.

While rubbing her thigh, she said confidently, "Back when our Azure Cloud Sect first added things like 'Peak Great Perfection' and ' Half-Step Full Blossom ' to the magical girl's cultivation levels, there was no official certification. But in the end, didn't you, Sect Master, get it officially recognized? As long as more people approve of it, the author will definitely agree!"

"That's another matter, because I am the Dao Lord, Dao Lord naturally has the right to open up new realms."

Shion stared coldly at her, "Don't even mention them!"

"Then I can Dao Lord too!"

Yarrow raised its hand, "I'm already at the Lush Leaves stage, Sect Master! As long as I continue to work hard, I'll eventually reach the Half-Step Full Bloom stage, through the Branching and the Wheel and Sea! Then I'll also be Dao Lord, and I can provide Harry Potter with the official new ranking system!"

This is why the Yarrow was driven to other cities.

I've always wanted to create a new hierarchy for Harry Potter and to give the Azure Cloud Sect an additional path for Harry Potter's advancement.

"There is only one lineage for a sect!"

"But Sect Master, I see that our ancestors' sect was very diverse, with many branches, such as the Qi Sect and the Sword Sect."

The laws governing cause and effect, time, and so on, are completely different between the two sides.

Yarrow said earnestly, "I think our Azure Cloud Sect can do the same thing. You are the main lineage, and I am the vice-sect of the side sect. We can open a new lineage and let the disciples choose for themselves."

"Strange and unorthodox methods."

Without saying a word, Shion grabbed an ancient-looking immortal sword.

The main problem is using other weapons; the other party will immediately say that Harry Potter also has them.

To teach Yarrow a lesson, we must use the Immortal Sword.

Otherwise, they will immediately exploit the situation and launch verbal and psychological attacks.

Having learned her lesson once, Shion naturally dared not use any other weapons, and shouted angrily, "This is utterly heretical! You're trying to betray your master and destroy your ancestors!"

"No!"

Yarrow immediately retorted, feeling wronged, "I just wanted to pave a new path for our ancestors, what did I do wrong, Sect Master? Didn't you go through the same thing? I was just following your example!"

"You smooth talker, today I will cleanse the house for our ancestors!"

The two are currently in the middle of the ocean, and crossing the sea will take them directly to the Beihai, which is the shortest distance.

In the middle of the sea, there's no need to worry about affecting the city or ordinary people if you take action.

Yarrow felt a chill run down her spine, realizing that her sect leader was getting serious.

Because she insisted on preaching Harry Potter, she was often dragged by the sect leader to spar.

This is also the source of her extremely rapid progress.

Unlike other disciples who avoided sparring with the sect leader, Yarrow was very enthusiastic about it.

Firstly, it allows for rapid progress, and secondly, it lets Shion see my determination.

She genuinely wanted to spread the Harry Potter method of advancement within the Azure Cloud Sect!

Although a reasonable setting hasn't been devised yet, it's certain that as long as the sect leader approves, it will work!

Because they had fought each other frequently before, Yarrow knew that when the Sect Master got serious, he would definitely get a beating.

They quickly created distance between themselves.

The sea and sky were as solid as iron, and the purple magical girl within them was like a drop in the ocean.

It looked like it could be crushed and pulverized at any moment!

The surging waves rolled and rolled, constantly unleashing tsunamis as large as mountains.

However, when Shion made her move, the heavens and earth froze, and all the waves subsided.

Sword Falls -

A sliver of silver light flashed from the tiny girl's hand!

The iron curtain, shrouded in the sea and sky, emitted a teeth-grinding sound, splitting everything in two by this sliver of silver light, from the sky to the seabed!

The sky above the sea was filled with swirling, dark clouds, and the waves beneath our feet were churning violently.

Amidst the fierce winds, a sliver of sky appears, through which the warm sunlight filters out.

It fell into the seawater, which had already been separated.

A sliver of light has appeared over the seabed, which should never see the sun again.

"Protego Totalum (Protego Totalum)!"

The Yarrow's choice was simple: to deploy its defenses.

As designed, this spell generates a powerful, long-term protective barrier within a certain area, and can be used in conjunction with multiple protective spells.

However, the Yarrow didn't have time to deploy and layer other protective spells; it simply amplified the spell's magic to its maximum in one go.

Then roll over and get away!

The sword light was momentarily blocked, then instantly shattered her broom!

Without the broom, the Yarrow immediately plummeted towards the ground.

This is not because she can't fly.

It's because she follows her own rules: she can't fly without a broom.

As the current Dao Lord destined to establish the Harry Potter lineage, he must not go against his own established principles!

As it fell, it quickly conjured up another magic broom.

This allowed him to regain his balance and avoid crashing directly into the seabed.

The pointed top of the wizard's hat was also cleaved open by this sword, which made Yarrow feel heartbroken.

Without time to think too much, he immediately turned to look at his sect leader again.

Shion's attacks won't be limited to just one.

The more powerful the disciple, the more numerous and exaggerated the techniques they will be subjected to.

The purple-clad magical girl standing between the sky and the sea flipped her hand and sheathed her sword, assuming a drawing stance.

Behind her, the sea wall rose like a mountain, and in front of her, the vast expanse of the sky and the sea was a perfect metaphor!

This sword strike once again froze the heavens and earth!

Yarrow reached out and pinched the tip of the wizard's hat back, then took a deep breath.

She knew that this sword strike would likely revert her to her original form.

Although Shion wouldn't actually kill him, if he were to revert to his original form, his plans to establish a new lineage for Harry Potter would be ruined.

For Harry Potter!

She can't lose!

We must make the Sect Master approve of Harry Potter!

The moment Shion drew her sword with full force, Yarrow ' magic wand suddenly changed color.

It changed from its original black color to a grayish-white color.

Even Shion's icy eyes showed a hint of surprise.

The moment the magnificent sword energy was unleashed, Yarrow's wand instantly erupted with a large amount of Gray-White Remnants!

It wrapped around all the sword energy!

"Epelliarmus (Expelliarmus)!"

The Gray-White Remnants quickly devoured the sword energy and spread all the way, eventually swallowing up the ancient immortal sword in Shion's hand as well!

It even tried to devour the demonic armor along with the immortal sword.

It was only when Shion unleashed its magic and burned it that it finally disappeared.

The sword energy disappeared, the sea slowly closed up, even emitting a roar, and the narrow strip of sky above was gradually shrouded in dark clouds again.

Shion flew above the Yarrow, "Remnants magic?"

"Hehe." Yarrow was panting heavily, almost unable to get up, and lay sprawled on the broom.

After all, using the magic of the Gray-White Remnants to eliminate the sect leader's weapon is no easy task.

It completely drained his magic and energy.

"How about it, Sect Master? Impressive, isn't it? This is the compatibility of our Harry Potter— "

"Stop talking nonsense, where did you get your Remnants magic power from?"

Yarrow lay obediently on the broom and said, "Lord Bingtang ordered us to keep an eye on the whereabouts of several known Old World. I learned this during the battle, and then I used Harry Potter's cultivation method to integrate the Remnants magic into my own system."

Shion fell silent.

There are certainly many people who know about Remnants magic, or even have come into contact with Remnants.

There are quite a few magical girls in the entire Azure Cloud Sect who are researching this kind of knowledge.

However, there are almost no cases like the Yarrow where its usage has been directly discovered through trial and error.

You figured it out all by yourself?

"Yes."

So Shion felt a bit disappointed and frustrated.

If only they could honestly follow the orthodox path of cultivation!

Such great talent, yet he insists on pursuing crooked and unethical paths; it's a complete waste of his potential!

Shion thought for a moment, then said, "The method of manipulating the Gray-White Remnants was developed using orthodox immortal techniques from my Azure Cloud Sect."

"Ah?"

Yarrow was taken aback. "Sect Master, but I'm using Harry Potter— "

"I'll open a separate branch for you; go and recruit your own disciples."

Blinking, Yarrow immediately realized and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, this method was developed using the orthodox cultivation methods of my Azure Cloud Sect!"

"Snort."

Shion snorted coldly and said nothing more.

If people knew that such an important method was derived from the Harry Potter setting, it would be a disgrace to our ancestors.

She absolutely would not allow it.

It wouldn't be a problem to give her a chance to recruit disciples in a separate sect.

Yarrow chuckled as she looked at Shion, climbing off the broom. "Don't our Harry Potter spells sound a lot like the talismans and Spell of the cultivation Immortal Realm?"

"Where is it like?"

"It's about the effects, the usage, and so on. Don't we orthodox cultivators also have to chant incantations? Like 'Hurry, hurry, as the law commands' and the like."

"How many online novels have you actually read seriously? Can those even be considered orthodox cultivation novels?"

"That's what I've heard people say online—" Yarrow cautiously flew to the Sect Master's side, "Sect Master, is there any chance that our Harry Potter lineage will be merged into the Azure Cloud Sect's orthodox lineage in the future?"

Don't even think about it!

"Oh----"

Shion was too lazy to argue with Yarrow about such useless things. "Tell me, how do you use your Gray-White Remnants?"
