After helping the Flower Sect recover, Ling Li prepared to leave with Zi Yan and Little Doctor Fairy to seek the Netherworld Poison Flame at Ice River Valley. The group departed for Luoshen Ravine while Ling Li absorbed two peak Dou Zun magic cores and sensed that their transcendent power was increasingly rejected by the world.

• Inside the Space Ship, Ling Li absorbed the magic cores of Earth Scorpion and Human Scorpion and sensed that the transcendent Spatial Power was drawing greater rejection from heaven and earth.

• Little Doctor Fairy entered the formation as her Calamity Poison Body stirred, while Zi Yan stood guard and Ling Li prepared to begin the poison pill condensation.

Ling Li guided Little Doctor Fairy through the dangerous process of condensing a poison pill, using several Mysterious Flames and rare treasures to keep her alive. After the Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva revived her body, the poison pill took root in her sea of qi and her aura began to rise.

• The Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva restored Little Doctor Fairy's body, and the compressed poison fused with the magic core to form a poison pill that took root in her sea of qi.

Little Doctor Fairy advanced through the first transformation of the Dou Zun realm while Ling Li protected her from Lightning Tribulations and absorbed a powerful Orange Lightning bolt.

• Little Doctor Fairy completed her breakthrough but said she lacked the power needed to reach Dou Saint and demonstrated Spatial Power that existed beyond the Dou Qi Continent.
• Ling Li asked whether she had improved in other areas and shattered the white gown she had condensed from Dou Qi.

Five days after Little Doctor Fairy’s tribulation, Thunder Venerable asked Ling Li for the land around Luoshen Ravine to rebuild Wind Thunder Pavilion, and Ling Li agreed. After Thunder Venerable left, Zi Yan confronted Ling Li about his interest in a Heavenly Demon Phoenix, and Ling Li showed he had no intention of giving up on the idea.

• Thunder Venerable appeared before Ling Li, Zi Yan, and Little Doctor Fairy and praised Ling Li’s rise in strength.
• Thunder Venerable asked to establish Wind Thunder Pavilion on the lightning-rich land near Luoshen Ravine, and Ling Li granted it to him to repay his earlier help.

He visited the imprisoned Gu Xun Er, whose Golden Emperor Blazing Heaven Flame was close to breaking her seal, and left her under his control.

• Ling Li, Little Doctor Fairy, and Zi Yan returned to Starfall Pavilion, where Little Doctor Fairy and Zi Yan went to the Alchemy Pavilion and Ling Li went to the Elders' Pavilion.

• Ling Ying reported that Gu Xun Er had been trying to break her seal, and Ling Li realized her Golden Emperor Blazing Heaven Flame might soon free her.
• Ling Li entered Gu Xun Er's house and used the Mysterious Flames to overpower and assault her.

Ling Li faced three Soul Hall figures who came to Starfall Pavilion seeking the Bone Spirit Cold Flame. After Ling Li apparently beheaded Old Man Mu Gu, he realized the two Heavenly Venerables had not tried to stop his attack, and the encounter ended with an ominous warning.

• After half a year of peaceful cultivation, Ling Li reached Seven-Star Fighting Venerable as the Green Lotus Core Flame took root in his sea of qi.

• Ling Li refused to hand over the Mysterious Flame and apparently severed Old Man Mu Gu's head with a single slash.
• Ling Li noticed that Eighth Heavenly Venerable and Ninth Heavenly Venerable had made no effort to protect Old Man Mu Gu, then heard Old Man Mu Gu taunt him about his answer.

Ling Li and his allies overwhelmed the three Soul Hall Venerables, whose mysterious revival treasure let them recover from lethal injuries. After Zi Yan blocked their escape, Ling Li ordered the attackers captured alive, leaving the Soul Hall forces defeated and imprisoned.

While Ling Li fought the Soul Hall Venerables, Star-Plucking Old Ghost infiltrated Starfall Pavilion and found Gu Xun Er in the back-mountain hut. He knocked her unconscious, captured Ling Ying, and escaped with her using a Space Jade Slip, leaving Ling Li to discover the empty hut.

• Star-Plucking Old Ghost searched Starfall Pavilion with a Fire Crystal Stone while Ling Li and the others were occupied battling the Soul Hall Venerables.
• The Fire Crystal Stone led Star-Plucking Old Ghost to the restricted wooden hut, where he used Hun Miesheng’s black robe to bypass the spatial safeguards.

Ling Li discovered that Zi Yan had obtained the Nine Lives Soul Lamp and hurriedly fled Starfall Pavilion with Zi Yan, Little Doctor Fairy, and Mu Qingluan as Soul Hall's forces approached. Their escape was attacked by a Heaven Realm soul and a giant spatial hand, and a black-robed young man emerged, mistaking Ling Li for his clan leader.

• Ling Li returned to Zi Yan's Happy House, where Zi Yan showed him the Nine Lives Soul Lamp, and he tried to drain the three Soul Hall Venerables before she destroyed their souls.
