On the Self-Cultivation of a Senior Sister Who Takes the Blame

Shi Yao transmigrated into a sect as the senior sister of both the protagonist and the villain. The plot was just fluff to her. All she cared about was unlocking achievements, becoming an unparalleled demon, and then going back to play video games.

Shi Yao, who had overcome countless trials to become an unparalleled demon, looked at the man leading the people surrounding her, her former junior brother and the protagonist, and had just one thing to say: Hurry up already!

After they deliberately went easy on her, Shi Yao was finally killed. Just as she was about to go back, the villainous junior brother interrupted her.

"Senior Sister has never done anything evil."

"Senior Sister wasn't the one who killed Master."

"Without Senior Sister at the Namo Secret Realm, none of the disciples from the various sects would have made it back."

"The Linglong Pavilion deserved to be wiped out."

"The senior who found the secret method for sealing the Domain Demons was Senior Sister, too."

As the villain spoke, a series of beeps rang in Shi Yao's mind.

[The Arrogant achievement has been removed.]

[The Tyrannical achievement has been removed.]

[The Unforgivable achievement has been removed.]

[The Unparalleled Demon achievement has been removed.]

[Achievements cleared. Current progress: 0.]

Shi Yao was absolutely speechless. I seriously can't thank you enough! It took so much effort to find all those troubles to take the blame for, and now, after working hard for hundreds of years, I'm right back where I started.

I never should have taken you into the sect just because you looked pitiful. This is how you repay my kindness!

After being reborn, the miserable Shi Yao planned to start over and grind out her achievements again.

But everyone said: Senior Sister is right. Everything Senior Sister does is good.

They wouldn't even let her unlock the lowest achievement, Arrogant!

What is going on?!

Shen Li, the villain: Senior Sister is the best person in the world.

Shi Yao, who just got a good-person card: ...No, I'm not. I'm a terrible person, I swear!

Lu Ming was worked to death pulling an all-nighter to revise a manuscript at the client's insistence. When he woke up again, he found that he had become a small mountain village.

You read that right. The entire village was his body!

Lu Ming also discovered that, in this cultivation world, he had a game-based infrastructure System, and everything here had a line of text over it: Ten years until the game launches.

Lu Ming: ??? Wait, they put me inside a full-dive game?

No matter what, you need to be strong yourself, so before those calamity-bringing players showed up, he had better build up the place and make himself a body.

And so Lu Ming developed the village while cultivating talented practitioners.

Small village -> small town -> city -> Wushuang City -> cultivation paradise.

Then Lu Ming successfully took human form, only to find that these players were a bit odd.

"Could this NPC, Lu Ming, have ascended? Those three people with him are all main-story protagonists."

"Don't say another word. Just flatter him."

"What are you talking about? Flattering an NPC doesn't count as flattery. We're all followers of the protagonist's party."

Lu Ming, rubbing his forehead: I'm really not some transcendent immortal!

Players: Yes, you are!

A little scene:

All the cultivators of the Hunyuan Realm knew that Wushuang City held a grand banquet every ten years, drawing sects from all over.

What shocked them even more was that the Hundred-Demon Talisman Master, the Little Pill King, and the Venerable Mingjing, whose sword had once shaken the Nine Heavens, were all figures with countless followers (players) in the Hunyuan Realm. Yet in Wushuang City, an unknown young man scolded them, and they obediently listened.

"Xiao Ming, how many times have I told you? I don't need this stuff anymore, but you keep bringing it over."

"You two, don't laugh. You didn't listen to a single word I said last time!"

"Sigh, I must be getting old. I can't keep you mischievous kids in line anymore."

Lu Ming looked at the youngsters he had personally sent out into the world, feeling rather proud, like a father.

"No, no, no. You'll always be eighteen. You're not old at all," the three said in unison.

No matter how they behaved outside, in Wushuang City, Lu Ming had the final say.

All the players, giving a thumbs-up: As expected of you, Transcendent Immortal.

*No romance, infrastructure-building (probably?)

*The protagonist is a mountain village at first, then a town, and later takes human form.

*Not a traditional cultivation novel, with original worldbuilding.

Core theme: Even ordinary people can possess great wisdom.
