Background

Li Han belongs to one of Primordial Hall's three great lineages. His grandfather, Li Changshu, is the Grand Elder of the Scripture Repository. Li Han's aptitude was only slightly below Song Yuan's, while his comprehension evaluation surpassed Song Yuan's; however, his larger lineage received fewer resources and less influence than the Song family. This left him perpetually behind Song Yuan despite his ability 191.

The prospect of Earth Sword Peak selecting a personal disciple intensified his rivalry with Song Yuan. Li Han's family warned him that Song Yuan's favored status was not a final decision and that he had to fight for the opportunity himself. He ultimately resolved to challenge the position Song Yuan had been expected to receive 191.

Through Li Changshu's arrangements and substantial expenditure of connections and resources, Li Han was later accepted by Earth Sword Peak Master Gan Liu as a personal disciple 277.

Appearance

Li Han is a handsome young cultivator usually dressed in brocade. His features are paired with a distinctly arrogant bearing, though that confidence gives way to guardedness around stronger opponents 230.

• Wore a deep green robe while leading Primordial Hall's team in the Ascendant Path 165.
• Wore a golden sword robe as an Earth Sword Peak personal disciple 278.
• Carries and fights with a sword 165 191.

Personality

Li Han is ambitious, competitive, and acutely conscious of status. Years of being compared unfavorably to Song Yuan made him unwilling to accept a permanently subordinate position; he sees cultivation as a struggle in which failing to fight for opportunities means losing them 191.

He is also pragmatic when survival or advancement is at stake. After Zhou Qi badly injured him, Li Han set aside their enmity and sought a secret alliance against Song Yuan. Later, he offered valuable cultivation methods for Zhou Qi's protection in the Four Directions Secret Realm 170 192 288.

His pride is genuine but flexible. Li Han initially resists Zhou Qi's demands and fears being exposed, yet he repeatedly yields when the balance of power is against him. In danger, he uses expensive protective treasures and Killing Talismans without hesitation 230 299 300.

Abilities & Skills

Swordsmanship

• Located the clustered auras of the Great Yong Dynasty group and identified that one member had entered the Golden Core Realm 165.
• Could not penetrate Zhou Qi's concealed aura, which made him reassess Zhou Qi's strength 167.

Defensive Spiritual Power

When confronted by Zhou Qi's Dao-Slaying: Metal Element, Li Han frantically condensed dozens of spiritual shields to defend himself.

• His layered shields were still overwhelmed by Zhou Qi's saber intent 168.
• Escaped the battle with multiple wounds, though none were fatal 170.

Talismans and Protective Treasures

Li Han carries powerful defensive and offensive trump cards, largely owing to his lineage and sect resources.

Zhou Qi ultimately rescued Li Han in the Four Directions Secret Realm 166 192 230 308.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Immortal Path Minor World

Li Han ranked third on the Ascendant Path leaderboard with 426 points before being appointed captain of Primordial Hall's second team. Song Yuan ordered him to eliminate every Great Yong Dynasty remnant near the Fire Element Tower 163 164.

Li Han tracked down Xiao Huo's group, dismissed them as inferior, and led a one-sided assault. He severely injured Xiao Huo, while his subordinates hunted down the remaining Great Yong contestants. Zhou Qi's intervention reversed the engagement: he killed two Primordial Hall cultivators, overwhelmed Li Han's defenses, and forced Li Han to flee injured 166 168 170.

After returning to Song Yuan, Li Han recognized that Zhou Qi's strength could threaten Song Yuan's position. His own resentment toward Song Yuan's advantages and ambition for Earth Sword Peak led him to approach Zhou Qi with information about Song Yuan's Spirit-Burning Origin-Exploding Pill. The two agreed to cooperate against Song Yuan 170 191 192.

Entry into the Primordial Immortal Sect

Li Han placed third in the Immortal Path Minor World and received the Jade Blood Sword as his reward 217. He later covered for Zhou Qi during an inquiry by claiming Peak Master Wen Ruhe had spoken with him, protecting the secret of their earlier agreement against Song Yuan 217.

Zhou Qi subsequently used that secret agreement as leverage to obtain three orthodox Nascent Soul Realm cultivation techniques from Li Han. Li Han complied because exposure could endanger his chances of entering Earth Sword Peak 230.

After becoming Gan Liu's personal disciple, Li Han exchanged three complete Earth Sword Peak Spirit Transformation cultivation methods with Zhou Qi. Though he remained wary of Zhou Qi, he recognized the value of maintaining a transactional relationship with him 277 279.

Four Directions Secret Realm

Li Han sought Zhou Qi's protection for the Four Directions Secret Realm, offering the middle and upper volumes of a Body Integration Realm cultivation method in return. He needed Profound Heart Violet Orchids to exchange for a Calamity-Crossing Pill and strengthen his foundation for Spirit Transformation 287 288.

He initially found more than a dozen Profound Heart Violet Orchids, only to be immediately hunted by a Nascent Soul Great Perfection cultivator of the Myriad Ages Divine Court. Li Han survived by exhausting a protective treasure and activating a Spirit Transformation Killing Talisman, but was then surrounded by three Violet Cloud Heavenly Palace disciples 299 300.

Zhou Qi saved him from the encirclement, later left him under Yang Gu's protection, and used twenty orchids to secure that protection. Li Han eventually returned to the fight and spent three Killing Talismans assisting Zhou Qi, for which Zhou Qi rewarded him with a petal from the Tranquil Heart Jade Lotus 308 312 318.
