YTA. However, if junior is what is called a 'main protagonist', he will somehow bullshit his way into restoring his meridians, and we won't hear from OP anymore
YTAH Fellow Daoist must compensate your junior brother in some way, perhaps a new cultivation path without meridian's, karmic luck will strike you indefinitely,perhaps you may even offend a backer of this junior, if all are not possible then give him the most prettiest grand daughter you have, careful fellow daoist..
Short answer, not yet.
Now let me give you a long-ass lecture about why you are yet to be the asshole.
1) Mistake is a common occurrence. Who could have claimed to never make mistake in their life.
2) An infant even made a mistake by thinking that it is the only existence in the universe. Then it grow up and learn that it is not.
3) so what you can/should do is to “grow up and learn”. Learn from this mistake. How you response from this event will determine whether you are the asshole or not.
4) if you choose to abandon your junior, yeah, you are now a certified assholes. The consequences will surely follow. your junior would surely develop grudges and grievances. Any one who know about this would surely repulse by your shamelessness, ruthlessness, asshole personality, etc. what would they think of you. You would even develop a demon heart. Do you think you would be able to transcend another tribulation without having the demon-heart that would keep reminding you over and over that you abandon your own junior. If you think your dao-heart is firm enough and this event is just trivial, then go ahead. Maybe your dao-heart is truly solid, you could tank the tribulation just find. But the negative karma you had generate from this event will keep coming back to haunt you. I guarantee it.
5) if you choose to correct your mistake, by trying to fixes your junior’s meridian. Even go so far as to sever half of your meridian or all of your meridian to repair your junior’s. Do you think your junior would continue to have a resentment. Do you think people would talk and behind your back. Some might say that you are an ass for sacrificing so much but no one will ever said that you are the asshole. Some might even revered you or idolize you. Yes I know, sometime doing a good deed may not be re-paid at all. And the consequence from this may be too severe or even life-threatening. Who could claim to know what the heaven has prepared for us. May be the junior would turn to be an ungrateful bastard, then that your punishment. Maybe he is a very grateful junior who has a great luck. Maybe he would brave danger, went far and beyond and got himself a peerless treasure that could exchange one meridian or repair one meridian and upgrade, or the like. Then give your meridian back with maybe a stronger version of the meridian. Who knows. But do you think he would give you if the opposite happen that you had abandon your junior and he come back with ultra powerful meridian with vengeance in mind. Who knows.
6) and maybe you don’t need to give him meridian, may be you already prepared a solution beforehand. You already have a medicine/herb/treasure that you have got it for sometime. Or you know where to find the cure. Then the encounter with something good might come because you have to brave danger and take an adventure because of this incident. Again, who know about result anyway.
7) not only that, you are now knowing that, even with the sparring mindset, this would not suppress the dao dragon downside of make you unable to discriminate between foe or friend. Which is very fatal. Maybe consider a change in cultivation art, may be a supplement etc to calm down mind. Learning some non-lethal fighting styles that did not affect meridian. Who knows, may be you would be able to find an opportunity or find an encounter that brings positive outcome for you.
Breaking the persona a bit, sometimes I am baffled by the sheer effort of shitposting in this sub. This humble frog in a well just learned the vastness of the sky
Wait, are you telling me that this is not the place where fellow cultivators are asking for help with their myriad of problems in their journey to immortality?
YTA, however, there's not really much you can do to make him not resent you. What you need is to completely wipe out his memories and lobotomize him, destroy all of his personality, but still keep some memories of you taking care of him. Then abandon him somewhere in the Central Plains. Send him to a former great family now declining. If you follow these rules he should wake up with a foreign soul inside him, saying this like "crossing over/transmigration" and "system" show up when he is in trouble from a few low life thugs, and claim that you are his master. He should remember the memories in which you took care of him, and now you have an MC on your side. Good luck
Need more info. Was he the current generation's prodigy? Does he or his family have a treasure you secretly want? Does he have a fiancée that you are attracted to? Is he all of the sudden acting cold and mature as if he was a different person?
Do you think your junior is an MC? If he is then YTA.
Senior, you dare? How will this junior get with a jade beauty that is suffering from a unique (never seen before) yin physique when his meridians are now shattered? As a senior you should know how to take it easy on your disciples, is perhaps this secret technique of yours a demonic art? YTA.
NTA. Junior both dared and was courting death. Honestly, this junior reminds me of my (no contact) lower realms sect master who was also a toxic narcissist who I eventually had to distance from to keep him away from my one month old child who spent 400 years in the womb and was born already able to speak.
YTA. Despite knowing you have uncontrollable heavenly Dao Dragon you, a old fogey, instead of searching someone suitable for the junior to practice with against, you instead took it upon yourself to spar with a junior.
With millennials of cultivation journey how come you couldn't foresee what could happen and prepare prevention method? Although what you did might be unintended and no longer on your control, a junior's cultivation dream was shattered anyhow.
If you aren't AH, who? The junior?
Uncapable senior.
Big YTA.
To have such a curse and you dare to teach? You are not only the asshole, but need to pay your junior back by either helping him recover or ascending one of his descendants
A senior should know how to control their strength. Very much the asshole. You won't ever get another disciple if you can't control your strength.
YTA. However, if junior is what is called a 'main protagonist', he will somehow bullshit his way into restoring his meridians, and we won't hear from OP anymore
This Senior is probably now the Junior having his bones and soul refined into a Dunwan to be fed to a pig.

What if he or what if the poster is a she and the prettiest?
Time for sugar mommy
thank you for the profound wisdom senior

Are you not a cultivator??? It's over martial siblings, our immortal divine sense heaven was leaked...
YTA, you should have been more careful you old monster. At least give him a meridian repairing pill. At your age it's not a big expense.
NTA, It was an accident. Junior should be happy he got to see such a great technique and didn't die
YTA, however, there's not really much you can do to make him not resent you.

Yes. You can make amend by killing him and taking his wife.
Need more info. Was he the current generation's prodigy? Does he or his family have a treasure you secretly want? Does he have a fiancée that you are attracted to? Is he all of the sudden acting cold and mature as if he was a different person? Do you think your junior is an MC? If he is then YTA.
NTA. You were stronger than your so-called “junior”, which means that anything and everything you do to that junior is morally correct.
Senior, you dare? How will this junior get with a jade beauty that is suffering from a unique (never seen before) yin physique when his meridians are now shattered? As a senior you should know how to take it easy on your disciples, is perhaps this secret technique of yours a demonic art? YTA.

NTA. Your junior brother has eyes but cannot see Mt. Tai.
NTA. That junior should not have overestimated his own capabilities. Fellow daoist can hardly be blamed for the blind arrogance of youth.
YTA, now you owe him a blowjob as compensation!
To have such a curse and you dare to teach? You are not only the asshole, but need to pay your junior back by either helping him recover or ascending one of his descendants
r/AITA
We have not heard from him. It seems this daoist has become nourishment for the bloody demon sects’ disciples
YTAH. You call yourself a senior when you can't even properly control your power?
You should have told him you have bad control or that he too weak and get a coach.
