Tian Ku: The Yinluo Sect Nascent Soul Han Li cuts down

Tian Ku is a Nascent Soul cultivator of the Yinluo Sect, killed by Han Li during the Yellow Dragon Mountain campaign. A Nascent Soul cultivator is already a founding-level figure in the Mortal Realm, so Han Li cutting one down is the plainest proof of what forming his own Nascent Soul did for him — and it is what the phrase "making his name across the Southern Heavens" actually refers to.
