yes the past life phoenix pretty much raised him

she could die and reincarnate as she is the phoenix

the Heavenly Emperor is a villain because as you can see from the hints in the drama he is dying so if he can't breakthrough to become a god he will die but since he is old he can't breakthrough himself so he ends up using the Three Realms as a cauldron sacrifice as for ml becoming demon king I've forgot lol but think it has something to do with current demon lords death(could be wrong tho)

i thought the demon lord being the Phoenix sister which would be different then the novel but seems like its going back to the source and they not really related. in the novel the past Phoenix picked him up as a child and taught him everything but over time his feelings changed to love

thanks :)

with Beauty of Resilience airing on iQiyi it's safe to assume this won't be released until that's over and although Im enjoying Beauty of Resilience i also can't wait for this

do you have a link for this novel?

so it's not low budget then? honestly never really paid attention to the budgets but thought this had a good budget as quality isn't bad

Im enjoying it so far but must agree these SFL evil leads are getting boring to see

well just watched episode 11-12 and things seem to be heating up

hmm not 100% but pretty sure this Old Mu/Mu Lao is one of the major side villains in the novel

lol Wei Jingyue is so dumb she being played hard by her sister

huh why you think so?

lol Wei Jingyue is so dumb she being played hard by her sister

episode 11 had a scene right out the novel the alchemy pill to cover her scent was in the novel only difference is in the novel it made it look like she had a peacock bloodline and her phoenix bloodline was only known to the ml at the time

mortals have their own cultivation and immortal cultivation is not the start although not explicitly said but in the drama but in the novel mortals could cultivate until mortal peak and then breakthrough to become immortal and immortals could cultivate until immortal peak then become god so not all mortals have no cultivation level although to an immortal everything below immortal level are ants and to gods everything below god level ae ants

you're right that it's kinda open ending as FL and ML go into a cocoon state and come back after 500 years but the people who come out aren't explicitly said to be the leads

but drama seems to be going a little different as ml in novel learned early on she was the Phoenix and did everything he could to hide that fact and made it look like Wei Zhi was just 50% Peacock because the Phoenix in the novel was a divine being but many people are scheming bad things toward it to benefit themselves and ml knew some of these schemes so did everything he could to hide her Phoenix blood and prevented her from activating it

because in the novel the Heavenly Emperor is the big bad and has a huge scheme going on and ml finds out and opposes him and to protect the Phoenix Wei Zhi

yep
