Lu Li built a secret partnership with Great Xia, using its support to improve his cultivation and survive in the Azure Pool Sect while Group 749 developed ways to study spirit ore. After killing Ma Liu to protect his secret, Lu Li kept his distance from Great Xia, which formally supported his family and told Lu Yao that her brother was on a national mission.
Lu Li advanced through the Azure Pool Sect while sharing cultivation and artifact-refining knowledge with Great Xia, whose researchers turned his discarded furnace slag into a cross-world Law Armor. The armor worked in Lu Li’s world, and the arc ended with him wary of Ye Chenfeng’s invitation to explore a Foundation Establishment cave abode.
Lu Li refined artifacts and armor, helped Great Xia begin testing cultivation, and uncovered a newborn spirit vein while facing Bai Sheng’s threat. After killing Bai Sheng with the Spirit Machinery mech, Lu Li sent spirit rice, combat data, and a soul-controlling Law Artifact to Great Xia, where researchers began investigating cultivation and souls.
Lu Li took Lu Changming and Lu Changye as disciples, found a spirit vein and spirit stone mine, and survived a battle with Li Xian using the Chengying Mecha. Back on Blue Star, spirit soil sparked Spiritual Qi research and cultivation experiments as Great Xia prepared a military exercise to distract foreign attention from Jing City.
While Great Xia prepared for Spiritual Qi’s revival, Lu Li emerged from five years of seclusion, established his foundation, and joined Supreme Refinement Peak. His investigations into the sect’s secret assembly and strange conditions in Azure Pool continued as he sent cultivation knowledge to Great Xia, which reported a major problem across the three commanderies.
Lu Li's forced attendance at the assembly exposed Azure Pool as the Nether Toad Patriarch's breeding ground, and his jade pendant shattered its secret realm and Spirit Vein. Trapped under True Lord Yuanhao's supervision, Lu Li sent Spirit Vein fragments to Great Xia, where Li Yuanchao launched nationwide cultivation preparations.
Lu Yao joined Great Xia’s cultivation research while Lu Li built resources and prepared for the growing conflict around Azure Pool. The great demons’ battle exposed Azure Pool’s false sky and revealed Nether Toad’s weakness, giving Lu Li an opening to take control of the blessed land.
Lu Li reached Golden Core and worked with Great Xia to capture and rewrite the Nether Toad Patriarch’s soul, turning him into an ally. With the Prefecture-Breaking War approaching, Lu Li and Great Xia planned to strengthen Azure Pool in secret and build a force capable of exploiting the conflict.
Lu Li rebuilt Azure Pool as the Beyond Heaven Dao Academy while Great Xia developed cultivation and spirit machinery during the hundred-year window. After testing Great Xia’s new weapons, Lu Li traveled to the inner academy, where he and Xu Xiong began organizing its finances and staff.
As the Demon Race prepared for the Prefecture-Breaking War, Lu Li captured Golden Ape and worked with Great Xia to overwrite his Divine Soul into a loyal ally. Golden Ape's territory and resources supported plans for expansion and strategic weapons research, while Lu Dahai helped test the new technology.
Lu Li expanded the Dao Academy’s teaching, commerce, and military training while Great Xia prepared to guide its growing population of Qi sensitives. Lu Changming survived a Soul Dao trap, and Ye Chenfeng reunited with Lu Li, chose to stay at the academy, and brought valuable Soul Dao knowledge.
Lu Li brought the Dao Academy into the Prefecture-Breaking War as Ao Qing led a demon invasion against Jingxi Prefecture. With the defenders occupied and Ao Qing gravely wounded, Lu Li ordered the Dao Academy to slip away and plunder the Demon Manor.
Lu Li led the Dao Academy through the Three Tiger Blessed Lands, gathered resources for Great Xia, and broke through to Nascent Soul. After the academy’s industrial support helped kill Thunder Leopard, Lu Li ordered a push into Spirit Transformation territory, while five Demon Lords gathered to assess the threat.
As Ao Qing’s Jiao Journey brought demons, sea races, and fleeing humans into conflict, Lu Li expanded the Dao Academy and uncovered more about fortune and the Central Continent’s schemes. He ambushed the five supervising demon lords and killed two, while Zongzheng Lie and the others learned that Lu Li was fighting them at the Demon Manor.
Lu Li claimed the Western Continent’s dragon fate, defeated Zongzheng Lie, and established the Litian Dao Court while Great Xia prepared to reveal his story. The revelations moved Great Xia’s citizens to support him, attracted foreign interest in the Imprisoned Dragon Realm, and drew the attention of an ancient presence.
Lu Li subdued a million-strong demon army and brought it into the Dao Court, while the Hundred Schools and other powers began turning toward the Western Continent. As Lu Li entered long seclusion, Yinyang Qingfan reconsidered her oracle and a dormant presence stirred beneath the capital.
Lu Li emerged from a century of seclusion at Spirit Transformation, reconnected with Great Xia, and began inspecting the Dao Court while nurturing a nascent world inside his jade pendant. After absorbing Imprisoned Dragon Mountain and gaining Yinyang Qingfan’s allegiance, he prepared for war and learned that Blue Star belonged to the ruined Great Desolation.
Lu Li led the Dao Court into the Western Sea, subdued its tribes, and defeated the Ink Octopus Clan and its allies. He awakened the Divine Ability Overturning a Nation, then learned that Great Xia was readying a large-scale Spirit Descent and had begun to uncover mysteries of Blue Star’s universe.
Lu Li brought a million Great Xia compatriots into the Imprisoned Dragon Realm, defeated the Western Sea alliance, and established a new Dao Court prefecture. He then entered Ao Li’s small world and began turning its dynasty into a source of loyal talent for the Dao Court, while visitors from other continents sought the bearer of Dragon Fate.
Lu Li reached Void Return, brought Great Xia into contact with a Dao Law, and crushed the Eastern and Northern Continent forces that attacked Litian Prefecture City. Meanwhile, Lu Dahai traveled to Mars, awakened a mysterious third eye, and led a rescue mission toward Mount Olympus, where dangerous creatures surrounded a black abyss.
