Background / History

Han Li was originally a disciple of Yellow Maple Valley and became acquainted with Luo Hong while seeking resources for Foundation Establishment. He traded a six-hundred-year-old Righteous Qi Lotus for the Qi Harmonizing Pill formula, establishing the pragmatic, mutually beneficial basis of their relationship. 43

He and Luo Hong later remained connected through repeated exchanges of techniques, materials, and information. Han Li traded Golden Marrow Pills for talisman materials, gave Luo Hong the Great Evolution Technique, and cooperated with him amid the impending sect war. 36 114

After arriving in the Chaotic Star Sea, Han Li continued to cultivate independently while repeatedly joining forces with Luo Hong in treasure hunts, escapes, and conflicts. His caution toward Luo Hong's secrets was tempered by the belief that Luo Hong, like himself, would not pry into another cultivator's greatest reliance. 114 115

After forming his Nascent Soul, Han Li acted on an old promise to Xin Ruoyin by targeting the Fu family, while concealing his identity and investigating Luo Hong's growing influence through the talisman shop devoted to “Lord Hong.” 334 335

Han Li eventually ascended to the Spirit World, served as an Azure Nether Guard, and reached Spirit Transformation Mid-stage with the aid of the Small Green Bottle. 1028 He later reunited with Luo Hong in the Abyss, where the two exchanged intelligence and plans while operating under false identities. 1036

In the Immortal Realm, Han Li continued advancing through the Taiyi and Da Luo realms. After the destruction of the Heavenly Court, Luo Hong entrusted him with overseeing its reconstruction and encouraged him to pursue the vacant Time Dao Ancestor position. Han Li accepted and successfully became the new Time Dao Ancestor. 2225 2226
