He goes on to defeat the best disciples from Vermillion Bird Nation, Torch Dragon Nation and Aquamarine Nation, and takes first place but turns out that the entire trial was rigged.
When he returned to the Wei Clan, he was given one more chance to meet Wei Tiancang's expectation and met it, which resulted in Wei Jing being healed. During the Sanctum Replacement Challenge between both the Wei Clan and the Yueling Clan, he participated on the third day and defeated both Lin Xiaoting and Yueling Ji.

Personality[]
Li Tianming is hardworking and has a persevering spirit. Despite falling to rock bottom, Tianming continued to work hard to overcome the odds and come out on top.
He is also loyal to his loved ones, even going so far to take the blame in place of Li Qingyu when she had been captured after killing both Yuwen Shengcheng and Li Xuanchen. The second occurence of this was when he was willing to trade his life for Ye Shaoqing during the war between Grand-Orient Sect and Heaven's Elysium.
He has remarkable fighting spirit and great courage, willing to challenge even fate itself to get what he wants, which is also inline with Lifesbane. He does not step down from a fight even from a superior opponent and dares to challenge himself even against overwhelming odds.
After learning swordsmanship and its principles under Mu Yang, he had inherited the road of righteousness and honor. It was the true path in his heart. [9]
Appearance[]
Li Tianming's left arm was transformed into a scarly black arm which is durable, this was attributed to his cultivation with Ying Huo and was called the partial beastial transformation. The scales are all exquisite and ordely, each a perfect hexagon. The arm also pulses with a frightening aura outward. His fingers also transformed into red talons that were sharp. His left arm was strengthened and could harness more strenght than the rest of his body. There is a glistening, crimson eye on the palm of his left hand which is functional and serves as a third eye, providing him with two different perspectives. He normally keeps it covered in white cloth.
After contracting Lifesbane, he gains five black rings on his left arm and five black rings on his right arm. Furthermore, his hair turns white. His Aeonic Grandbane turned into 10 words that looked like animal faces. (Most likely for the 10 Primordial Chaos Beasts)
Li Tianming's eyes changed colors after reciving the inheritance of the Primordial God-Emperor. His golden eye radiates justice and authority, while his black eye inspires respect.
