Don't Hold Your Junior Sister Back!
The Black-Yellow Sect.
Inside the dilapidated rear hall.
"My disciple, after I die, you will be the Black-Yellow Sect's sect master. You must develop and strengthen the sect from now on. Don't let its legacy end with your generation."
Liu Wuya, the Black-Yellow Sect's sect master, lay on the bed, his face deathly pale. He held Lin Ye's hand in both of his as he gave him these instructions.
"Master, it would be better to give the position of sect master to junior sister. Your disciple is too stupid. I began cultivating at ten, and after ten years, I've only reached the eighth level of Body Refining. Junior sister began cultivating at thirteen, and she's only fifteen this year, but she's already at the seventh level of Body Forging."
"We're only a one-star sect. Your junior sister is such a monster that she'll surely join a five- or six-star sect someday. If I gave her the position of sect master, wouldn't that hold her back? Your junior sister is highly gifted, but she's too naive. You must guide her well from now on, and don't let anyone out there deceive her."
"Your junior sister may have some complaints about my giving you the position of sect master, but it's all for her own good. If she doesn't understand, don't blame her!"
Lin Ye gradually absorbed the memories in his mind. According to those memories, the Black-Yellow Sect's old sect master had been eating melon and watching the show outside the sect a few days ago, only to be caught in a battle between two powerful experts and gravely wounded. By the time he returned to the sect, he was already at death's door. On top of that, a lifetime of cultivation had only brought him to the sixth level of Body Forging, and his Qi and Blood had declined. He soon breathed his last.
Before he died, the old sect master, Liu Wuya, had passed the position of sect master to him. After their master died, some disciples ran off and joined other sects. Now only the original owner and his junior sister, Yu Yu, remained.
Yesterday, the original owner, overwhelmed by grief, had failed in an attempt to break through to the eighth level of Body Refining. His Qi and Blood attacked his heart, and he lost consciousness. Upon waking, he had awakened memories of his past life on Earth. Now, Lin Ye from that past life was the dominant personality.
"Ten years of cultivation, and only the seventh level of Body Refining. What a waste of talent!"
This was a fantasy world of martial arts. The first realm was Body Refining, and the second was Body Forging. After ten years of cultivation, he was only at the seventh level of Body Refining. He reckoned he would be lucky to reach the sixth or seventh level of Body Forging in his lifetime, about the same as his master. His junior sister, on the other hand, was a monster. After a little over two years of cultivation, she had reached the seventh level of Body Forging, surpassing their master in cultivation. However, she had yet to cultivate any combat martial arts, and she had little combat experience. Her combat strength might have been nothing special; she might not even have been able to beat a martial artist at the third or fourth level of Body Forging.
"If I didn't have a cheat, this would be all there was to my life."
Lin Ye closed his eyes and connected his consciousness to the system he possessed. It had appeared when he awakened his past-life memories, but it had not finished loading.
90%!
95%!
99%!
Soon, the Supreme Devil Dao System finished loading.
After obtaining the Supreme Devil Dao System, he began to study it and discovered that he had to take in disciples—and Devil Dao disciples at that-to receive rewards. He would also receive tenfold feedback on what his disciples gained through cultivation.
In other words, the stronger his disciples became, the stronger he would become.
In addition, Supreme Devil Dao disciples could also enter a lottery. He could draw once for each disciple he accepted, and once every month.
"Spread the Devil Dao, take in Devil Dao disciples..."
Lin Ye's expression changed drastically. If he cultivated a Devil Dao Cultivation Method himself, he could avoid exposure by being careful, but this meant spreading the Devil Dao. If he were discovered...
There were countless sects in this world, and the Devil Dao had long since been defeated and annihilated in the High Antiquity era. A few decades ago, a devil who ate people to cultivate had appeared in this region, only to be killed by an elder of a three-star sect.
There was simply no room for the Devil Dao to survive in this world. If he were discovered, he would surely die!
"I still have a beginner sign-in gift pack. I'll sign in first."
"Sign in!"
"Congratulations, host. You have signed in and obtained the heaven-grade Law Treasure, Ten Thousand Souls Banner; the heaven-grade Secret Method, Devil Shadow Breath-Returning Technique; the heaven-grade Cultivation Method, Heavenly Devil Instruction; and the profound-grade Body Refining Cultivation Method, Hell Devil-Forging Body."
"Would you like to claim them?"
"Claim!"
A Ten Thousand Souls Banner appeared in Lin Ye's hand. He had expected it to billow with black smoke, yet he could not see a trace of Devil Qi. On second thought, the banner did not contain a single soul yet, so naturally it had no Devil Qi.
Meanwhile, the heaven-grade Secret Method, Devil Shadow Breath-Returning Technique, the heaven-grade Cultivation Method, Heavenly Devil Instruction, and the profound-grade Cultivation Method, Hell Devil-Forging Body, all merged into his memories, allowing him to thoroughly comprehend them.
The Devil Shadow Breath-Returning Technique was a Devil Dao concealment technique that could hide his cultivation. The Heavenly Devil Instruction, on the other hand, required him to reach a realm above Body Forging before he could cultivate it, so he could not cultivate it yet.
As for the profound-grade Body Refining Cultivation Method, Hell Devil-Forging Body, he could cultivate it now. It was a high-tier profound-grade method, close to an earth-grade Body Refining Cultivation Method.
A high-tier profound-grade Cultivation Method that could be cultivated in the Body Refining realm was something he had never dared imagine before. The Black-Yellow Sect's strongest Body Refining Cultivation Method, the Lesser Bronze Body Art, was only mid-tier yellow-grade. It was also an incomplete text, allowing cultivation only up to the Body Forging realm, with no subsequent Body Refining Cultivation Method.
Compared to the Hell Devil-Forging Body, the Lesser Bronze Body Art was trash!
"Should I cultivate it or not?"
Lin Ye wrestled with the question, but soon stopped worrying about it. He had the Devil Shadow Breath-Returning Technique, so what was there to fear? Even if a martial artist above the Body Forging realm came, they would not be able to tell he had cultivated a Devil Cultivation Method.
"I'll cultivate it!"
Lin Ye was full of confidence.
But the moment he began cultivating the Hell Devil-Forging Body, he screamed as if he had entered hell itself.
"Ah!!!!"
Lin Ye screamed in agony. In neither of his two lives had he suffered such pain. It was several times worse than the pain of kidney stones, and it did not let up.
"To hell with cultivating this!"
Lin Ye instantly forgot all his grand declarations. Only a ghost would cultivate such a torturous method!
But he could not cultivate the Hell Devil-Forging Body, and he could not cultivate the Heavenly Devil Instruction for the time being. He could use the Devil Shadow Breath-Returning Technique, but it only concealed his cultivation and gave him no combat strength!
The Ten Thousand Souls Banner was a heaven-grade Law Treasure, but he could not activate it yet, and it had not collected any souls. At present, the Law Treasure had no power at all.
If he wanted to improve his strength now, his only options were the monthly lottery or taking in disciples. There was no other way.
As for cultivating, with his trash aptitude, what was the point? He did not have the patience for it.
"Senior brother!"
A figure rushed in through the doorway in a great hurry. The flimsy door was like paper and could not stop his junior sister Yu Yu at all.
"Senior brother, what's wrong?"
His junior sister Yu Yu was deeply concerned. She had heard her senior brother scream and rushed over at once, afraid something had happened to him. Although she was a little angry that he had snatched her position as sect master, he was also her only family. She did not want him to leave her like their master had.
"Junior sister, I'm fine. I just went astray while cultivating. I'll be fine after a little rest."
Lin Ye got up and swayed a little, showing that he was fine.
"I'm glad you're all right, senior brother." Yu Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Junior sister, I'm preparing to start recruiting disciples. There are only two of us in the sect now, which really is too few. Besides, the sect assessment held once every ten years is next year. If the sect can't even muster five disciples, it'll be stripped of its one-star sect status outright."
As soon as she heard Lin Ye was going down the mountain, Yu Yu grew excited. "Senior brother, I want to go too."
"No. Someone needs to keep watch over the sect, so stay here and behave yourself." Lin Ye was stern and allowed Yu Yu no refusal. He was the sect master; even if his junior sister was stronger than him, she still had to listen to him.
"Senior brother, there's nothing valuable in the sect. There's no need to watch over it," Yu Yu retorted with a pout.
"How is there nothing valuable? Are those dozen or so chickens and that cow worth nothing? Are the books in the library worth nothing? What about the vegetables covering the backyard? You may not think much of these things, but some people do. What if a group of ordinary people broke in and stole them?"
Lin Ye's words left Yu Yu unable to argue further. She had no choice but to agree to her senior brother's suggestion and stay at the sect to watch the place.
Half an hour later, Lin Ye had packed his things and was ready to go down the mountain. This time, he was going to find a Devil Dao disciple who met the system's requirements, have that disciple cultivate a Devil Dao Cultivation Method, and sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor.
Moreover, he had already found a way to avoid being discovered spreading the Devil Dao.
