This genre (common mortal ascending into immortal thru cultivation) was actually invented by the author of this novel. There are some copycats but so far I'm not aware of any being made into dramas. If you want to find xianxia dramas you can click the cultivation/xianxia tags in the synopsis section above, but they will just be the normal kind (good vs evil, love story, etc).

Immortal ascension from the eyes of martial sister Chen Qiaoqian (English subtitle available), it's quite sad. Warning: there are spoilers in this video, you might not want to watch it if you have not watched the drama.

It will be quite a while before he returns to Tiannan and not gonna be in S2 (in donghua he only did so in S4).

Don't worry most likely will have, since it is so successful, winning awards earning money and such.

Nope not related at all

Ep 168 will have a battle between nascent souls😊

She is the first of HL's seven disciples and is very capable as a manager. In the novel HL later offloaded all his nominal elder's tasks in the Drifting Cloud sect to her. But eventually she didn't make it to nascent soul. Not sure if the donghua will omit these little details.

He'll enjoy the status for a while, but soon after running for his life again lol.

Btw Han Li's new disciple is also very pretty😂

LOL😂 All characters had gotten an upgrade due to the improvements of the donghua team. But we could just take it as she had grown up and therefore prettier😂

You're welcome

In ancient China, cultivation was real and usually practiced by the Daoist, and they did seek immortality and enlightenment in seclusion and peaceful way (they also experimented with creating elixirs like in the Xianxia novels, and accidentally invented gun powder). It's totally unlike in the Xianxia/Wuxia novels/dramas where cultivators try to kill each other or other human beings. The novels/dramas fantasize/dramatize it for the sole purpose of making it more interesting, otherwise there won't be much of a story😂
And no the Daoist can't fly😂 Some of them do practice martial arts and could leap up high walls or onto the roof, parkour style (e.g. those Daoist from Wudang). Taichi is believed to be originated from Wudang, and it is a real martial art that could be used for fighting, not just exercise for old uncles/aunties 😂

How is it? Nice?

Donghua ep 164, Han Li was telling his clan's offspring to stay away from the cultivation world, because it's brutal and an entire clan could get wiped easily. I was LMAO, was he referring to what he just did recently? 😂

Oh ok. She reappeared in ep 162 & 163

Actually I didn't and had to look for it. But it's easy to find since it's at the beginning before HL joined the Yellow Maple Valley Sect😂

Lol the girl at the stall in ep8😂. She was a timid girl and had a special place in HL's heart because she reminded him of his little sister.

Wang Chan part is modified by the donghua team. In the novel he didn't reappear until quite a few chapters later. Btw did you notice Han Yunzhi is a lot more beautiful now?😂
