Villain Cultivator (Web Novel)
chapter-528

The assessment exam went on. In the alternate plane exam, the alternate Miaomiao and Wei Yuan bonded like how Miaomiao had done.

The sexual interaction shocked Wei Huang and Xu Xiuying. Both elders had a private talk and agreed to take responsibility.

In the last mock exam between new disciples and inner disciples, Xie Tian challenged Wei Xiong while Wei Feng gunned for Miaomiao.

Miaomiao easily defeated Wei Feng. However, Xie Tian's match turned into a disaster.

Wei Xiong attempted to kill Xie Tian as he was jealous of the latter's talent. Yet, Xie Tian suddenly unleashed Dragon Fire Element Qi and defeated Wei Xiong, shocking everyone.

Miaomiao didn't bother scheming against Xie Tian. On the contrary, Miaomiao boldly came to Xie Tian's aid when Wei Huang and others came down to protect Wei Xiong and attempted to kill Xie Tian. Jia Shan, who had been observing the event, didn't even bother saving Xie Tian!

Xie Tian ended up agreeing to join Silver Phoenix Sect as Xu Xiuying's third core disciple.

…

'Wow. My alternate me is such a good person.'

Miaomiao was astonished. This event deviated too much from his timeline. Now, he was curious how it would end.

Xie Tian chuckled, 'You were such a good brother to him. It surprised me when you actually backstabbed my counterpart.'

'What?! That… that Xie Tian wasn't you?'

'Keep watching. You will understand everything when the loops reach the present you.'

…

As the middle-aged Xie Tian had said, the events completely deviated from Miaomiao's timeline.

Along the way, Miaomiao and Xie Tian developed a friendly rivalry, trying to outgrow each other. Even Xiong Zhenzhen attempted to mingle with them as their relationship was interesting.

They became the golden trio of the Silver Phoenix Sect. Miaomiao ruled the Joyous Yin School while Xiong Zhenzhen was the leader of the Virgin Yin School. As for Xie Tian, he became a new school leader, the Firecracker Sword School.

But soon, the deadline of the protagonist hunt quest was getting closer, and it pressured Miaomiao. He was not decisive enough to scheme against Xie Tian.

An opportunity arose shortly. Xiong Zhenzhen suddenly fell ill by an unknown disease.

Xu Xiuying commissioned Xie Tian to visit the Myriad Cauldron Sect to request Ju Shoufen's assistance. Meanwhile, Miaomiao was asked to bring Xiong Zhenzhen to the underground level of the Silver Phoenix Sect.

Miaomiao discovered the dark side of Xu Lanying there. Xu Xiuying bitterly introduced the prison of the ill disciples, who had failed to assimilate with either the vampire bloodline or succubus bloodline.

Xiong Zhenzhen was suffering from the Qi Deviation because of her vampire bloodline. Now, she would soon lose her sanity.

Xu Xiuying asked Miaomiao to perform a dual-cultivation session with Xiong Zhenzhen to steal her virgin yin core and drain all Qi in her dantian to save her life, to which Miaomiao agreed.

For a month, Miaomiao got stuck in the same cell as Xiong Zhenzhen, dual-cultivating with her non-stop.

Xiong Zhenzhen returned to normal, but she didn't lose her cultivation base. She grew stronger than before, and her Qi became purer.

Seeing that Miaomiao had a way to treat the ill disciples without ruining their cultivation life, Xu Xiuying asked him to treat the other disciples. Again, Miaomiao gladly fulfilled his role.

He soon treated Ju Chen, Liu Guang, Tang Ting, Sun Yun, Pan Xiaofan, Lai Wen, and all Miaomiao's wives. The other ill women regained their sanity one by one.

Miaomiao profited a lot from the session as his cultivation rose to the 4th-stage. He gained a weird element Qi, the Semen Element.

…

At this point, the observing Miaomiao burst into laughter. He couldn't resist.

'Semen Element? Really?! WTF, my alternate me?! Can't you be more decent?'

'You were pretty decent for saving those girls, though.'

'But, man. Semen Element… I want one too. Why didn't I have one when I already had sex a billion times.'

Miaomiao took a mental note as he also gained the comprehension of the Semen Element. He planned to cultivate it once he returned.

…

After treating all the grown-up girls, Elder Yao Lan came to Miaomiao and kowtowed to him, asking him to treat her family member as well.

Miaomiao visited the last patient. However, she was a little girl.

Her name was Yao Dongmei, Yao Lan's little niece. Her mother was killed by Xu Lanying, and this little girl was held here as a hostage so that Yao Lan could work for the Silver Phoenix Sect.

Yao Dongmei mistook Yao Lan as her mother, and the sight was too pitiful.

Miaomiao was helpless since he couldn't possibly dual-cultivate with a child. It was against his principle.

As Miaomiao was reluctantly stripping the little girl, Xie Tian returned to the sect. He also managed to invite Ju Shoufen and Jia Wenhe with him to see the patient.

Yao Lan and Miaomiao stopped what they were doing and brought the little vampire to Xie Tian, hoping to treat her first.

However, they ended up exposing the Silver Phoenix's dark secret to Xie Tian. The latter was infuriated and attacked Miaomiao and Yao Lan, thinking that they were accomplices of Xu Xiuying and Xu Lanying.

Miaomiao, as he had received so many power-ups from the marathon dual cultivation sessions, defeated Xie Tian this time. Yet, he didn't kill the protagonist despite being pestered by Devil's system messages.

He gave a middle finger to his system and refused to kill Xie Tian. He explained the situation to the protagonist, and both men reconciled again.

Ju Shoufen suggested that they should leave the sect, to which everyone agreed.

Ju Shoufen invited them to Myriad Cauldron Sect, and the group agreed. Miaomiao and the gang fled the city toward the north. Yao Lan and the victims officially abandoned the sect.

Xu Xiuying intercepted them midway at Red River Port. They got into a fight, but Xu Xiuying defeated Yao Lan and Ju Shoufen. However, she didn't kill them.

Xu Xiuying kowtowed and apologized to the group, revealing that this incident wasn't her intention as everything was orchestrated by her mother, the Zhu Clan, and Long Meifang. Then, she begged Yao Lan to bring the other virgin yin disciples with her. She had a connection with Xu Huang from the Holy Land Continent, and she was planning to head west toward the west coast to avoid the Yuan Clan, the Zhu Clan, and her mother.

Unfortunately, before the group could depart, Zhu Huifang, Xu Lanying, Zhu Qiao, Wei Huang, and Fu De rushed over. They pursued the group and began slaughtering the healed victims.

Shockingly, Wei Yuan was along with the pursuers. She openly yelled at Miaomiao for leaving her behind and attacked him.

A massacre ensued. Half of the healed disciples were slaughtered, including half of Miaomiao's wives. Jia Wenhe, Ju Shoufen, and Xu Xiuying attempted to repel the pursuers, but Zhu Qiao singlehandedly destroyed them.

Yao Dongmei, who was still in the middle of digesting the pill, was mercilessly killed as well!

Zhu Qiao slew Xiong Zhenzhen and Yao Lan. Then, she proceeded to capture both Miaomiao and Xie Tian.

It was a tragedy. The protagonist party was utterly defeated, and the elders were all crippled!

As everybody despaired, Xie Tian decided to take the extreme measure. He activated his time-and-space technique and revived all dead comrades at the cost of his cultivation base.

Even though everyone got their second chance, the situation was still grim. Xu Lanying and Zhu Huifang came for them again.

But a hero appeared. Jia Shan activated his sword domain and beheaded Zhu Huifang and Fu De.

Xu Lanying also started using her domain, and the two nascent soul cultivators clashed.

As the two powerful experts were duking each other, reinforcements from Mountain Goose Sect arrived. Jian Meng led the swordmasters from Jian Clan and revealed his true cultivation base, the 8th-stage.

Once again, their personality was completely different from Jia Shan and Jian Meng in Miaomiao's timeline. They worked together to destroy the demonic clans.

Xu Lanying retreated while the Wei Clan was subdued. After the dust settled, Jia Shan and Miaomiao's group were the victors.

However, Liu Yan suddenly opened a dimensional portal and rescued everyone from the Wei Clan. Several 9th-stage cultivators came out and injured Jia Shan and Jian Meng.

Before Liu Yan could take Wei Yuan away, Miaomiao used the final technique of vampiric touch on him and devoured his body, blood, and soul! He also snatched Wei Yuan and Wei Huang, preventing them from being taken away.

Miaomiao's cultivation base jumped as he forcefully broke through to the 6th-stage, using the Semen Element Continent as the base for his new Dao Pillar.

Xie Tian, being powerless, extracted his dragon blood and injected them into Miaomiao.

Getting buffed by the temporary power of dragon bloodline, Miaomiao squared against a 9th-stage Oni. With the help of Jian Meng and Jia Shan, they momentarily pushed the Oni agent back.

Wei Cao, Wei Feng, and Wei Xiong gloated at Miaomiao before they fled with the rescuer. The Oni, who had accomplished his goal, turned the table and knocked Miaomiao and the gang away before he left with his crews.

The fight ended, and everybody survived.

…

'Happy ending? Everybody lives happily afterward?' Miaomiao mocked the development. It was too similar to shounen manga.

'Nah. It's the beginning of a disaster.'

'What's the mistakes?'

'You already took the path of a protagonist, but you changed your mind abruptly and backstabbed my counterpart. Moreover, you devoured Liu Yan's soul and committed a taboo. You were cursed with bad luck.'

…

After everything was over, everybody took a short rest at the shore town.

Miaomiao visited Xie Tian to check his condition, but Ju Shoufen, Jia Shan, and Jian Meng said that Xie Tian could no longer cultivate.

The elders gave up treating Xie Tian. They left Miaomiao and Xie Tian alone, thinking that both youngsters were best buddies, judging from their interaction during the previous fight.

Xie Tian had a heart-to-heart talk with Miaomiao. The former wanted to entrust Jiang Lan and Xiong Zhenzhen to Miaomiao, hoping that the latter could protect them in his stead.

Xie Tian also revealed that Emerald Hopea and her dryads promised to migrate out of the plane once Xie Tian was strong enough. Unfortunately, he could no longer cultivate.

The protagonist also handed over two pieces of time-and-space murals, including two drops of his dragon bloodlines.

He had Cernun and Firecracker's bloodline!

Miaomiao accepted everything. Yet, under the spamming messages from Devil, he refused to kill Xie Tian.

Then, the system threatened to kill Miaomiao's wives and his friends within that day. Devil also told Miaomiao that he would confiscate the system from him.

Getting scared by the threat, Miaomiao reluctantly picked a sword and killed Xie Tian. The tutorial quest was completed, and he got the Heavenly Fate Fragment.

However, his luck didn't improve. He didn't know that he was cursed by the negative karma.

Jia Shan, Ju Shoufen, and others discovered later that Miaomiao betrayed Xie Tian. They misunderstood him and thought that Miaomiao killed Xie Tian to steal his time-and-space secrets.

Even Xu Xiuying, Xiong Zhenzhen, and Yao Lan were taken aback by his action. Everybody scolded Miaomiao for being ruthless, and they cut ties with him.

All yin slaves suddenly broke free from Miaomiao's control and regained their independence. Even Jiang Lan, who seemed to be a faithful concubine, was angry that Miaomiao backstabbed her childhood friend.

Everybody shunned him after that day.

But as if greed blinded their judgment, they demanded Miaomiao to return the secrets of Xie Tian. Even Jiang Lan wanted everything that Xie Tian had once possessed, claiming that she was her true boyfriend.

Miaomiao refused, and he ended up fighting the entire party. Of course, he lost and was captured.

They stole Miaomiao's spatial ring, but they failed to locate the pieces of murals and other cultivation resources. Miaomiao hid the most important items in his system inventory.

Unable to find the time-and-space murals or anything related to the supreme technique, everyone was enraged. Jia Shan crippled Miaomiao's cultivation base, and several women beat him half-dead. Then, they shared the looted spatial rings before they parted their ways.

Jia Shan took the prisoners, including Wei Huang and Wei Yuan, back to Mountain Goose City. Ju Shoufen brought the victims of the Silver Phoenix Sect to Yeet City. Xiong Zhenzhen, Ju Chen, and other former wives followed Ju Shoufen to the north. Xu Xiuying flew to the west, heading to the west coast as planned.

But nobody wanted to bring Miaomiao along. He was left alone, lying on the ground with a battered body.

…

'What the fuck?!' Miaomiao was shocked. In the beginning, he had thought that this counterpart was doing a good job at handling the crisis, but he messed up in the end. He was supposed to kill Xie Tian in secret while pretending to be a support main character!

Everything spiraled out of control!

'Yeah, it was not like you actually made a mistake. It was the curse that ruined your counterpart and influenced everyone's behavior.'

'By the way, I thought this was supposed to be my counterpart's memory. How did you get this memory?'

'Again, you will understand everything when the loops are completed.'

…

Although Miaomiao's cultivation base was crippled, Devil and the system restored his power to his prime a few days later. Even his injuries were healed.

Miaomiao limped his way to Red Sun City. His heart was fueled with a raging desire for revenge.

The previous incident was unacceptable. Miaomiao believed that he had sincerely helped everyone, but they betrayed him because of their greed for Xie Tian's power.

He blamed everything on the local cultivators of this world, not the system. He believed that they were at fault!

They deserved to die!

He turned to the system and the Devil, asking for their help.

And Devil gave him a series of quests and side quests. Slowly, Miaomiao fell to the dark side.
