Again how does this guy not get any bigger roles, it was great to see him back in Strange Tales. Not counting the short dramas he does, which aren't listed here.
This is exactly what I was missing in season 2. Season 2 was still good, but the political intrigue between the Crown Prince/Emperor and the Grand Princess factions really turns it up a notch like in season 1.
i started the show yesterday and dropped it after 6 episodes. IQIYI has posted some long videos on Youtube so…
I know about the highlights version, they are really trying to cater to the low attention span audience, very smart decision, lol. But if I'm gonna watch a drama, it's a complete one without skipping, otherwise I might as well drop it at that point.
An amnesia trope plot in this day and age, alright why not, but what a bunch of nonsense filler. Ten episodes in so far, the plot barely moved forward on seeking clues on the conspiracy. And what's with the bgm, it's always the same song and every single time it feels out of place. Mostly watching for Chen Zheyuan anyways. It's great he dubs his own voice now, but still offputting seeing him act a "domineering" role, just doesn't really roll.
Don't think there was this comedic vibe when I watched the motion comic years ago, but it does add flavor. All I remember it was very lame and repetitive as the mc knew about everything, every thought and every future action already.
Quite bold straight from the first second, a bit too fanservicy for my liking though 😅 But nice to see more of these "male oriented" horizontal short dramas lately.
He took a mountain of a man with him, but couldn’t take a tiny creature? Zero logic
It's not his to take anyways as he doesn't own the spirit beast. He rented it from the Qilin Pavillion, a place in the Yellow Maple Valley where they raise spirit beasts, to just find a suitable cave.
A question from an amateur (please don't stone me 😁): Why does an immortal master die? Isn't it a bit contradictory?
Mortals call cultivators immortals as they basically have superpowers and a longer lifespan every higher cultivation realm, not truly immortal or invincible. A Foundation Establishment cultivator has a lifespan of 200 years, a Core Formation cultivator 600 years, and so on.
So where the heck did he teleport to? Am confused.
A different continent called the Scattered Star Seas. There is Tiannan where this season's arc happened, but only in a very small area, the State of Yue. The whole Tiannan is much bigger with much stronger forces. The Heavenly Dao Alliance in the north, the Righteous and Demonic Dao Alliance (State of Yue is in this part) in the center, and the Nine Nation Alliance in the south bordering the Grasslands' north border. The Scattered Star Seas is where he teleported to, an accumulation of many islands where human and beast cultivators "co-exist", it would take many years flying even as a Nascent Soul to get there from Tiannan. The Grasslands is where the hostile Mulan and Tianlan Tribes are. Great Jin is the strongest and largest cultivation continent and borders the Grasslands' south(-west) border. And there is also Tiansha, the Ice Sea and the Five Dragon Seas somewhere there in the vast ocean, but not really relevant.
there are 7 sect, but i usually saw 4 , where are the other 3? or am i mislooking?
They are there, you see some elders/disciples here and there. Like Fuyun Zi of the Clear Void Sect, Li Huayuan's Mahjong buddy. Feng Yue of the Heavenly Gate Fort, the umbrella guy Han Li fought. Nangong Wan and co. of the Masked Moon Sect. Han Yunzhi and spies of the Spirit Beast Mountain. And the last two Giant Sword Sect and Bladification Dock that are just in the background, like there were some disciples at the Yan Fort wedding. They are also just mostly fighting in their own fronts.
It's just a matter of that they don't serve much purpose in the plot and the sects aren't particularly close to each other in distance, so they are only known on surface level and mostly in the background. The Yellow Maple Valley is in the end the main focus in this arc.
Now as this has finished, it's a great time to chase the donghua. This saturday is going to be a historical milestone as Han Li starts his breakthrough to Nascent Soul where he will confront his inner demons.
That is where it ends. It was already revealed long before release that this season would only adapt the Tiannan arc, and it's also shown on the release calendar along other important plot points.
Eps 20 and 21 were a major letdown....The storytelling felt disjointed with abrupt transitions and the editing…
That's because the current Imperial City arc consisting of episodes 20 to 24 is going over 4 times faster than the previous arcs. Definitely most cuts are in this arc, which is an interesting decision as this is one of the most exciting arcs. After this it should go down a notch, though only by a little.
Not counting the short dramas he does, which aren't listed here.

so you don't have to scroll down
The immortal realm arc, a separate novel, is another 1.4k chapters
Manhua: Chapter 173
Novel: Chapter 364
The Scattered Star Seas is where he teleported to, an accumulation of many islands where human and beast cultivators "co-exist", it would take many years flying even as a Nascent Soul to get there from Tiannan.

Recommend watching it from the very start as it's just done much better on all aspects, from emotional scenes to actual scenery. Otherwise start from a bit before the end of episode 63.
