When Xie Lin became a disciple of Shen Qingxian, the greatest cultivator under heaven, he had only one goal: to become a supreme master, establish his own legacy, and bring glory to his family.
He played the “obedient disciple” to perfection. His master liked peace and quiet, so he hid every edge; his master enjoyed tea, so he became the most patient tea brewer.
Shen Qingxian thought he had taken on the best disciple imaginable.
Until that obedient disciple cast off his disguise, betrayed his sect, and was crowned supreme at the peak of the Demon Realm.
Until Shen Qingxian himself lost control of his Daoist heart and fell into worldly desires for him before a sea of immortals and demons.
When they meet again, one is the supreme of the Immortal Sect, the other a formidable lord of the Demon Realm.
Shen Qingxian points his long sword at him from afar, his voice cold as ice: “Xie Lin, turn back.”
But Xie Lin lifts his eyes before countless enemy troops, smiling with reckless abandon and madness:
“Master,” he asks softly, “I've forgotten all the rules you taught me. Now, I only want to teach you... what it means to defy the natural order.”

It's pretty good. The protagonist's setting is a bit novel and worth watching [already planted]
