Li Family

Power Progression

Background / History

The Li Family has stood in Heavenly Phoenix City for four hundred years. Its ancestral inheritance includes the Sky Phoenix Halberd martial soul lineage and the Phoenix Orb, a treasure containing the bloodline origin of a divine-rank phoenix. The orb was lost during internal strife roughly a century earlier, when a branch departed to protect it. 5 35

Before the main conflict, Skywood Village was a modest Li Family income source through its production of Ironheart Wood. The disappearance of the family’s tribute-collection team and a reporting clansman prompted the young master, Li Xuansheng, to lead an investigation. The expedition was massacred by the Qiu Family, with Gu Yi and the accompanying Li clansmen killed while protecting Xuansheng. 1 2

The family responded by recalling members, raising Heavenly Phoenix City’s defenses, and deepening its alliance with the Dongyue Clan. Successive returns by Chen Jianjun, Li She Long, Li Tianwu, Li Changlong, Li Yunming, and Nangong Yi rapidly expanded its elder corps before open war began. 2 5 13 16 17

Following the destruction of the Qiu Family and Five Poisons Valley’s divine leadership, the Li Family and Dongyue Clan divided the defeated factions’ territory, resources, inheritances, and divine artifacts. The Li Family took Eastern Qiu City, transported the Qiu Family treasury to Heavenly Phoenix City, and began transforming itself from a local family into a regional power. 53 54

The family’s later growth was reinforced by the return of many lost relatives and branch forces, including the Speed Clan, Earth Dragon Sect, Strength Clan, and numerous individual Titled Douluo. These reunifications supplied combatants, Soul Tool knowledge, forging facilities, mining resources, reconnaissance personnel, and thousands of additional clansmen. 55 91 92 99

Story Role / Major Arcs

Skywood Village Massacre

The family sends Li Xuansheng and Gu Yi to investigate missing personnel at Skywood Village. The operation is a Qiu Family trap; nearly the entire team dies, and Gu Yi sacrifices himself to enable Xuansheng’s escape. Chen Jianjun’s arrival and execution of Qiu Wanhe prevent the young master’s death but turn covert hostility into an unavoidable feud. 1 2

Mobilization and Reinforcements

Following the massacre, the Li Family recalls its scattered members, fortifies Heavenly Phoenix City, and coordinates with the Dongyue Clan. The return of Li She Long also restores the Phoenix Orb, while Li Tianwu and Li Changlong later reinforce the family during a Qiu attack. 3 5 13

First Defense of the Estate

The Qiu Family launches a nighttime assault led by Qiu Qianchi and ten Titled Douluo. Although the estate suffers severe casualties, Li Yunming reveals his Rank 99 strength, forces Qiu Qianchi to flee after severing his arm, and leads the pursuit that destroys most of the attacking force. 18 22

The victory costs the family forty-three dead and more than one hundred wounded. The family honors its fallen, compensates their relatives, admits Nangong Yi into Heaven Hall, and begins repairing its defenses. 23

War Against the Qiu Family and Five Poisons Valley

The Qiu Family forms an alliance with Five Poisons Valley, whose broader plan targets Heavenly Heart City and the Dongyue Clan. The Li and Dongyue families pool their forces in Heavenly Phoenix City, where they endure a large-scale siege by Titled Douluo and Limit Douluo opponents. 25 27 32

Dongyue reinforcements eventually restore the balance of power and force the coalition’s temporary withdrawal. The Li Family then focuses on recovery, formation upgrades, and rooting out internal informants who attempted to secure their own survival through surrender. 33 35

Divine Conflict and Rebirth

After Li Yunming ascends to godhood, the conflict escalates into a divine confrontation. Luo Wuya and Lin Jingshen initially compel the hostile gods to retreat under the old divine noninterference agreement, but the war later resumes. 42 43

Li Yunming, Luo Wuya, Lin Jingshen, and Dongyue Xian ultimately kill Du Yunhe, Xie Miaojiang, and Qiu Qianchen. With more than half of the enemy factions’ top forces destroyed, the Li and Dongyue families begin restoration and dispatch forces to purge the remaining Qiu Family and Five Poisons Valley holdings. 49 50

Postwar Reforms and Eastern Qiu City

After the war, the Li Family establishes the Grand Elder, Heaven Hall, Earth Hall, and departmental administration system. It then claims Eastern Qiu City, reorganizes its institutions, establishes branch offices, and assigns Li Tiandang and multiple Heaven Hall elders to secure the new territory. 53 63 64

The family also divides the enemy factions’ spoils with the Dongyue Clan on a sixty-forty basis, receives a vast share of the Qiu Family’s inheritance, and gains the Myriad Poisons Pearl through Dongyue Xian’s goodwill. 53 54

Return of Lost Branches

A succession of powerful relatives, presumed-dead elders, and branch factions returns to Heavenly Phoenix City. Li Tiandang, Ya Li, Li Duoduo, Li Haiwang, Dugu Bo, Su Mengjun, Li Ming’s seven-member group, and other experts substantially reinforce the family’s upper ranks. 55 59 60

The Earth Dragon Sect returns after three centuries of separation, bringing hundreds of soul masters, Soul Tool production knowledge, body-tempering pills, maps, and southern trade intelligence. The Strength Clan later returns with its own forging facilities, metal reserves, and body-tempering inheritance. 91 92 99

Continental Young Elite Tournament

Li Xuansheng leads the family’s elite younger generation in the Continental Young Elite Tournament at Blue Moon City. The event serves as the Li Family’s first major public appearance before the continent’s leading powers and a test of the family’s future foundation. 100 102

The Heavenly Phoenix team repeatedly demonstrates overwhelming depth, combining Li Xuanbing’s Ultimate Ice, Li Aotian’s Body Martial Soul, Li Xiaochen’s Soul Tool control, Li Longyue’s Mountain Dragon King strength, Li Tianyin’s spiritual interference, and the offensive power of the Phoenix-lineage members. 178 189 251

By the battle against the Golden Saber Sect, the Li Family has achieved twelve consecutive tournament victories and become one of the competition’s most closely watched forces. Its next major confrontation is against the allied Dongyue Clan, which both sides treat as a full-strength contest despite their family ties. 276

Trivia
