Yao Shen Ji 8th Season

Nie Li enters Tianling Academy in the vast Draconic Ruins Realm, where the ancient Divine Feathers Sect remains powerful but is threatened by internal family struggles. There he meets Ying Yueru, whose forbidden art of reading destiny shows her a future in which the sect collapses unless Nie Li eventually rises to lead it.

Nie Li begins building influence in his own unconventional way. He cures Gu Lan's mysterious poison, wins Gu Bei's trust, and turns low-grade demon spirits into valuable resources. Acquiring the Myriad Miles Rivers and Mountains Painting gives him the foundation to establish the Demon League and grow a faction of his own. His rapid ascent alarms Wu Yan and Long Tianming, who decide to turn his promotion trial in the East District into the perfect chance to cripple him before he becomes an uncontrollable rival.
