Nah, I was reading a CN BS again and fucking hell, the villain's ancestor better be "saving the entire China for at least five fucking separate times" level of merit, because his descendent, the villain, has been (yes present tense) been killing and maiming all the geniuses because he likes to be "the one" and hates all.
He also enjoys raping women for lulz and generally is a tumor.
Imagine an old, bald, wrinkly bastard still acting like a spoiled bastard child but with the power to back it up. That's typical cultivator behavior but by the gods, the author is hellbent to keep him alive and annoying.
