My Disciples Are All Villains我的徒弟都是大反派

That may be truth, but it's a very common recuring theme. He's just postering so he can appear on the side of Justice. Governments/businesses/celebrity's do this all the time, and it sickens me. You know that if people had super powers, and 99% of the population didn't, that the common mans rights wouldn't be respected.

My only dig is that the mc's faction is the EVIL Sky Pavillion. I expect some evil from the mc on some occasions.

History's Number 1 Founder is one of the few 9/10 or 10/10's that exist. Most stories never complete, and have awful simp mc's/are overwhelmingly edgy or bogged down by filler harem shenanigans. This one is a good balance of cultivation tropes, all while raising a sect with interesting characters. It somewhat drags towards the end, but so do all stories imo.

It's really sad that there's too few Sect Master novels. And there's also a severe lack of villain leads. Like f#ck, it's impossible to find a story with a villain lead that isn't a harem, and isn't edgelord 9000.

In terms of just cultivation stories in general, read these:

No harems, no yaoi, and cunning protags every one of them. Each is neutral-good to neutral-evil in terms of morality.

You can try the following if you want something non mainstream cultivation:

Records of the Human Emperor
https://novelfull.com/chronicles-of-primordial-wars.html
https://novelfull.com/a-world-worth-protecting.html (this is mainstream, but I rate it like, 8/10 early chapters, maybe 5 or 6/10 as it drags, but it's worth a read)

Sad...
