Background / History

Li Yuanba is Li Shiming’s clone, but differs sharply from his main body in temperament. Li Shiming’s caution and concern for survival leave the clone with a more adventurous, battle-seeking disposition. As a sword cultivator, Li Yuanba regularly accepted dangerous combat missions to hone himself. 219

He began as a disciple associated with the Vast Array Sect and Senluo Sect, where he was the disciple of Sword Elder and the grand-disciple favored by Old Ancestor Lu. Old Ancestor Lu’s support was unusually direct: he fought a Thousand Leaves Temple Venerable on Li Yuanba’s behalf and later gave him a Fourth Grade Golden Corpse core fragment. 349 367

Li Yuanba’s conflict with Thousand Leaves Temple began in earnest when he faced Buddha Jue Yuan. After Jue Yuan’s death, Li Yuanba acquired the Divine Foot Passage inheritance and learned Lotus Steps, greatly improving his mobility and ability to escape stronger opponents. 219 223

After advancing through the Golden Core realm, he gained a reputation for defeating opponents above his cultivation level. He slew seven Golden Core Middle- and Late-Stage attackers at Boundary Mountain Pass, defeated Great Arhat Zhihuo while at Golden Core Middle Stage, and later killed Great Elder Shi Ming. 403 418 428

Li Yuanba eventually joined the Sword Intent Soaring Pavilion, where Jian Wuwei became his master and Sword Elder became a principal guide and patron. His rapid growth, mastery of Shattering Void Sword Intent, and use of Ten Thousand Swords Peak earned him entry into the Sword Clan lineage. 599 601 733

His Nascent Soul-stage career was defined by repeated clashes with the White Emperor Sect. He killed several of its Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivators, including core disciple Bao Long and the Half-Step Great Cultivator Xue Huan, becoming one of the most feared Nascent Soul cultivators in the Central Continent. 649 685 735

As a Great Cultivator, Li Yuanba became a principal combat force of the Sword Intent Soaring Pavilion. He killed over one hundred renowned cultivators, including several Peak Great Cultivators, over a decade of missions. His defeat of Half-Step Great Power Zhao Zhao established him as the foremost cultivator below the Great Power realm. 933 948 951

He later survived Heavenly Tribulation and became a Free Great Power. After entering the Fallen Immortal Land and joining the Seven Immortal Abode’s circle, he continued to rise rapidly, reaching late-stage Great Power and gaining notoriety for his victories against Otherworldly God War Soldiers. 1033 1061 1088 1093

Appearance

Li Yuanba possesses an exceptionally refined and memorable appearance designed by Li Shiming through IBMz15 research and further adjusted in the Server Room Space. His appearance and sword cultivator aura are repeatedly noted as distinctive even among cultivators who can alter their features. 689 862

• His face is described as flawless and unforgettable. 689
• His cultivation of the Sword Intent Soaring Art and Chaos Sword Intent gives him a distinctive aura. 862

Personality

Li Yuanba is direct, confident, and eager to seek strong opponents. Unlike Li Shiming, whose role forces him to prioritize safety, Li Yuanba welcomes dangerous combat as essential sword-cultivator training. 219

He is not reckless without thought. In battle, he studies opponents’ techniques, exploits formations and terrain, and uses IBMz15’s analysis to locate weaknesses. He chose to confront Great Cultivator Qiao in an isolated battlefield rather than wait for an enemy to discover his vulnerabilities. 779 935

Despite his fearsome reputation, Li Yuanba maintains respect toward his masters and allies. He treats Jian Wuwei as family, accepts Sword Elder’s guidance, and supports Li Shiming’s allies, including Yin Shilan. 733 944 951
