History
At Jade Brocade Peak, Duan Xuanyuan confronted Elder Hou Ze after refining her junior brother into a puppet body and breaking through to the Creation Realm. Despite Hou Ze being a peak Creation Realm cultivator wielding a fourth-turn Yan artifact, he could not subdue her. 4
Hou Ze demanded the Reverse Celestial Order Instrument and the Azure Attendant puppet blueprint before the Grand Elder arrived. Duan Xuanyuan instead activated her puppet body's backup spiritual-power core, collapsing Jade Brocade Peak into an ice mountain and shaking Azure Sun Hall's sixteen peaks. 4
The hall later pursued Lu Li over his mother's unpaid debt. Its disciples attempted to seize his organs due to his earth-wood spiritual roots, but Lu Li killed the collectors after obtaining the First-Turn Breath Furnace. 2 7 8 9
Azure Sun Hall and White Moon Palace entered a trade war amid escalating tensions. The White Moon Palace Stock Immortal's threatened tax increase caused a market crash that devastated debtors, including Lu Li's mother. 2 19
Despite Maple Fragrance City being under White Moon Palace jurisdiction, Azure Sun Hall disciples infiltrated the city in disguise to pursue Lu Li. 25 34
Conflict with Lu Li
- Lu Li inherited a debt of forty-two spirit stones connected to his mother's stock speculation, placing him under threat of Azure Sun Hall's collection measures. 2
- Azure Sun Hall collectors targeted Lu Li's organs rather than granting an extension; his spiritual-root aptitude would determine their value. 2 7
- Two disciples captured Lu Li and began cutting into his chest to harvest his organs. The First-Turn Breath Furnace blocked their spirit sword, enabling Lu Li to kill one disciple and pursue the other. 8
- Lu Li killed the surviving collector after using iron filings controlled through the Qi-Combining Cauldron to wear him down and finish him with a blast of compressed air. 9
- Zhu Yi led disguised Azure Sun Hall disciples into Maple Fragrance City to avenge his younger brother, whom he believed Lu Li had killed. 33 34
- Zhu Yi's pursuit failed when Lu Li's Azure Underworld Painted Skin and female disguise caused the group to mistake him for a young woman of the Mo Family. 35
