Background / History

Blue Star and the Azure Pool Sect

Lu Li comes from an ordinary Great Xia family. With his parents occupied by work, he helped raise Lu Yao and later spent much of his university holiday earnings on her. Their close sibling relationship became one of his strongest attachments after his transmigration 156.

In the Imprisoned Dragon Realm, he initially lived as an Azure Pool Demonic Sect menial disciple working in the mines. A fish-shaped jade pendant allowed him to communicate with Great Xia and exchange resources. He supplied spirit ore and cultivation knowledge while the nation researched ways to keep him alive and develop cultivation on Blue Star 3 4 7.

His sect registration described him as a country boy from Clear River Commandery with Five Spirit Roots. After reaching the Fourth Layer of Qi Refining, he entered the outer sect and received his own cave abode 29.

Secrecy, Artifact Refining, and Bai Sheng

Lu Li’s early contact with Great Xia was dangerous because he lacked privacy. Ma Liu nearly discovered the pendant’s secret, and Lu Li killed him. The incident prompted Lu Li to abandon frequent scheduled calls until he could secure safer surroundings 22 23 373.

Great Xia’s optimized cultivation methods accelerated his advancement, while its simulations and research helped him become an artifact craftsman. His work also created a two-way exchange: he sent cultivation techniques and artifacts home, and Great Xia returned improved methods and manufactured equipment 13 55 110.

Bai Sheng tried to exploit him through a fabricated demand that he marry into the Bai Household. After Bureau 749 warned that this might be an attempt to force him out of the sect, Great Xia supplied military weapons and a Spiritual Power mech. Lu Li ultimately killed Bai Sheng, beginning a lasting feud with Upper White Peak 67 68 70 113 373.

Beyond Heaven Dao Academy

After Azure Pool’s upheaval, Lu Li led the Beyond Heaven Dao Academy. He assigned Yuanhao administrative responsibilities, put Xu Xiong in charge of trade development, and appointed Changming and Changye as inner court chief disciples responsible for identifying promising recruits 202 203.

The academy’s expansion brought access to demon territories and valuable resources. At the Golden Ape Blessed Land, Lu Li assessed a population exceeding a million demons and a hundred thousand humans, then sent the findings to Great Xia for development planning 242.

A fourth-tier soul treasure eventually enabled a successful cross-world consciousness upload. Lu Li reunited with his mother, sister, Li Yuanchao, and Great Xia’s veteran researchers inside a lifelike illusion, allowing them to work alongside him rather than communicate only through the pendant 281 282.

Dragon Fate and the Western Continent

Lu Li’s struggle with Ao Qing and Zongzheng Lie culminated in his recognition as the Western Continent’s sole true dragon. The Dragon Position Fate Pattern granted him the protection of the continent’s fortune and strengthened his body, meridians, and Nascent Soul 358 359 361.

The victory was costly: the Dao Academy lost its fleet and all fifth-tier Spirit Command machinery, while its disciples suffered severe injuries. Nevertheless, Lu Li regarded control of the Western Continent’s Dragon Fate as a decisive foundation for future expansion 359.

Under his leadership, Litian and the Dao Court became the center of a new order. Among ordinary inhabitants, his defeat of the rebel king, suppression of the Demon Manor, and restoration of human society elevated him to an almost divine figure 401.

Immortal Seed Battle and the Star Domains

Pressure from the Central Continent’s Hundred Schools forced Lu Li to leave the Eastern Wasteland and seek opportunities in the starry sky. He entered Bone Mountain Supreme’s Immortal Seed Battle, ultimately taking first place and achieving Dao Integration with 108 Dao Laws 536 589.

Bone Mountain Supreme saw his Dragon Fate and unusual foundations as a possible answer to the Imprisoned Dragon Realm’s predicament. He offered protection and gave Lu Li thirty years to return to the Eastern Wasteland 583 589.

Lu Li later campaigned through the Chaotic Star Domain, subduing Mahayana factions while refining his own combat skills. After attaining Mahayana and obtaining the Ji Household’s resources, he began bringing the wider Imprisoned Dragon Realm under the Dao Court, securing seven star domains before reaching the devastated Clear Creek Star Domain 673 685 709.

Homecoming and the Immortal Realm

After more than eight hundred years apart, Lu Li physically reunited with his father on Blue Star. Even after reaching immortality, he treasured ordinary family evenings and renewed his determination to protect them from threats such as Ji Wan 725 728.

In the Immortal Realm, he hunted criminals for merits while Ye Chenfeng and his companions maintained an artifact-refining business. His growing strength allowed him to overwhelm higher-turn True Immortals and eventually advance to Human Immortal 745 751 763.

He subsequently obtained the Profound Cavern Immortal Method, the Golden Crow Immortal Venerable’s inheritance and shed remains, and resources for nurturing his own blessed land. After returning to Great Xia, he pressed for stronger defenses, warning that Ji Wan had already sent an Earth Immortal to investigate the nation—an investigator Lu Li had killed 771 805 819 837.

Appearance

• Features: Handsome, with ink-black hair; Foundation Establishment gives his face an otherworldly quality and his skin a faint luster 116.
• Bearing: Becomes increasingly composed and unworldly as his cultivation develops 44.
• Clothing: Receives blue-green second-tier robes upon joining the inner sect. His later azure robes are recognizable to people familiar with his public portraits 123 455.
• Manifested signs: Can display a Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon bloodline phantom and the visible power of 108 Dao Laws 615 672.
• Human Immortal body: Develops translucent immortal bones marked with Dao patterns and immortal blood carrying a faint golden glow 763.

Personality

Lu Li is exceptionally cautious. He reduces contact with Great Xia after a near-exposure, seeks protective and killing formations for his home, and repeatedly warns himself against becoming complacent. Even promotion to the outer sect does not make him trust the cultivation world’s apparent peace 23 29 35.

His caution does not prevent ruthlessness when survival or his secrets are threatened. He kills Ma Liu, confronts Bai Sheng without accepting the Bai Household’s demands, and later attacks Ji Wan’s associates rather than entertain explanations after enduring years of interference 70 373 795.

Family reunion remains a central motive throughout his cultivation. He hides his original predicament to spare his parents worry, comforts Lu Yao through their separation, and continues to seek a route home long after becoming powerful enough to rule territories 7 156 405. His loyalty to Great Xia is equally practical: he treats national researchers as partners and shares resources, methods, and cultivation insights rather than keeping them exclusively for himself 3 110 160 404.

As a teacher, he values character alongside talent. Changming and Changye’s concern for their godmother helps convince him that they deserve to be his first disciples. He later worries over their dangerous journeys and takes personal responsibility for their development 80 87 257.

Abilities & Skills

Five-Attribute Cultivation

Lu Li’s Five Spirit Roots require him to cultivate all five spiritual attributes, initially slowing his advancement but producing unusually deep reserves 7.

• National optimization: Great Xia’s early revision of the Five Elements Instruction increases its effectiveness fourfold, allowing him to match the cultivation speed of a dual-root prodigy using the original method 13.
• Primary methods: Progresses through the Five Elements Instruction, Five Elements Creation Instruction, Five-Element True Dragon Instruction, and later Primordial methods 55 307 434 520 615.
• Spell repertoire: Uses metal, wood, water, fire, and earth techniques in rapid succession, overwhelming Foundation Establishment opponents with a combined spell barrage 139.
• Offensive synthesis: Creates the Five-Element Dragon Extreme Slash, using five-attribute Spiritual Qi as its guide and Dragon Qi as its core 434.

Body Cultivation

His physical cultivation begins with the fifth-tier Through-Arm Vajra Cultivation Method, whose stages include copper skin, iron bones, and a golden body with a Vajra Dharma Manifestation 243.

• Activates copper skin and iron bones in battle against higher-realm demons 349.
• Later adopts the sixth-tier Primordial Indestructible Body, developed by Primordial Beginning using the earlier method and the expertise of Yinyang Qingfan and Elder Jian 520.
• Combines bodily defense with Primordial Body-Protecting Light and Primordial Void Instant to fight Dao Integration sea beasts while still at Void Return 520.

Dragon Qi, Dragon Fate, and Bloodline

Lu Li possesses Kingly Dao Dragon Qi, the Dragon Position Fate Pattern, and a Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon bloodline 359 615.

• Territorial protection: The Western Continent’s fortune and Spiritual Qi support him within his Fate Dao domain 358 359.
• Internal enhancement: Dragon Fate strengthens his meridians, accelerates Law Power circulation, and marks his Nascent Soul with dragon patterns 361.
• Expansion: Defeated continental prodigies can yield providence and Fate Patterns, extending the territories in which he enjoys comparable advantages 495.
• Concealment concerns: He initially avoids exposing Dragon Qi because it could reveal him to the Ji Household 520 583.
• Unresolved connection: Great Xia investigates whether public recognition and national influence can strengthen his Dragon Qi; a possible connection to the Heavenly Dao remains uncertain 346.

Divine Ability: Overturning a Nation

Lu Li comprehends Overturning a Nation after initially reaching Spirit Transformation without a Divine Ability 405 450.

• Uses Dragon Qi to strengthen it 450.
• Severely wounds eleven Void Return greater demons in a single test 450.
• Recognizes a connection between its power and Great Xia 450.

Dao Laws

Lu Li reaches Dao Integration with 108 Dao Laws, accumulated through personal comprehension, demon remains, inherited resources, and an unexpected contribution from Blue Star 585 586.

• The pendant extracts thirty-seven Demon Race Dao Laws from Ten Thousand Demons True Blood 585.
• Blue Star-derived Dao Laws complete the final total, though their precise source remains unexplained 585.
• Their combined integration carries him directly through the Dao Integration substages to Half-Step Tribulation Transcendence 586.

Artifact Refining and Spirit Machinery

Lu Li combines cultivation-world craftsmanship with Great Xia’s engineering support 55.

• Completes a first-tier intermediate-grade Law Artifact to establish himself as an artifact craftsman 55.
• Uses holographic projections, computer simulations, and national research to study refining 55.
• Develops an interest in offensive magical armor, Spirit Machinery mechs, and large vessels with the scale of a mothership 48 55 242.
• Commands Spirit Command puppets and other Dao Court machinery, though early mechs made from first-tier materials cannot withstand Foundation Establishment-level power 91 346.

Divine Sense and Divination

Lu Li studies the Three-Refinement Spirit-Tempering Instruction after the Blade Heart Chapter strains his Divine Sense 159 160.

• The instruction repeatedly tempers and condenses Divine Sense; its stated great-completion effects include vastly increased range and near-tangible density 160.
• Uses White Bone Dream to confirm that his six disciples and Junior Brother Ye are alive, but fails to determine their locations 673.
• Later adopts the Profound Cavern Immortal Method, an Immortal Dao calculation method that also supports cultivation through a River of Time manifestation 771.
• Locates his disciples across several heavens, but suffers an injurious backlash when probing Lu Changming’s past life 772.

Spirit Concealment

Lu Li masters a concealment method taught through Dongfang Jiangxue after being told that Yinyang Qingfan claimed it could deceive even a Supreme Mahayana cultivator 535.

• Later uses the Feather Transformation into a Thousand Shadows Spirit-Concealing Art to hide from the Trial Immortal Realm’s will 755.
• Crimson Crow reveals that Three-Legged Golden Crow True Blood could advance it into the Nine Feathers Ten Thousand Shadows Spirit-Concealing Art; that upgrade is not confirmed in the supplied account 755.

Recorded Nascent Soul Assessment

These measurements apply specifically to his Nascent Soul Middle Stage, not his later immortal cultivation 381.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

Its abilities expand with his cultivation: bodily concealment at Foundation Establishment, cutting power at Golden Core, Blood Qi feedback at Nascent Soul, and a growing patch of living land at Spirit Transformation 4 405.

  • Can feed demonic essence back into his aptitude, flesh, and bloodline, reducing the limitations of his five-root foundation 325.
