Han Li secluded himself in a cave in the outer sea. Gongsun Xing and others, searching for spiritual herbs, accidentally stumbled upon his cave and were rescued by Han Li in a moment of crisis. Learning of the drastic changes in the outer sea, Han Li emerged from seclusion to seek another opportunity for breakthrough. During his exploration of the outer sea, Han Li encountered old friends, infiltrated a demon beast's lair, cleverly seized the Wind and Thunder Wings, and engaged in a fierce battle with Wen Tianren. While Han Li was defeating Wen Tianren, the group encountered ghostly mist and were sucked into the Netherworld. Following clues given by the village elders, Han Li searched for a way out. At the summit of Storm Peak, Han Li found an opportunity to escape the Netherworld. After leaving, Han Li unexpectedly found himself back in his homeland and decided to find a suitable place to cultivate and break through to the Nascent Soul stage, but unwittingly became involved in the struggle between various sects in Tiannan.
