The Immortal Ascension

I watched this series twice, the special effects, the superb acting of Yang Yang, and his marvelous fighting scenes all make this series the best of the year. Yang Yang is a very devoted and talented actor. In this series he epically depicts the male role given the difficulty of transforming such a piece into real person drama. After the series I watched The King's Avatar, again another great show by Yang.

Utterly captivated by China's unique cultivation system. The novelty and the step-by-step strategic thinking could even be applied as life wisdom. Lead actor Yang Yang's action sequences are incredibly fluid and graceful, full of beauty while also conveying raw power-this brings an authentic feel to the depiction of illusory scenes. I'm absolutely in love with this series!when will the next season be on.

Great drama based on the novel. With Yang Yang in the lead, his portrayal brings Han Li's pain, pride, and eventual transcendence vividly to life, making the series both a feast for genre enthusiasts and a star-driven entry point for newcomers. As a martial cultivation tale, there's enough here to captivate fans of the genre-especially those drawn to power ascension and mythical lineages. If you're just starting your journey into Xianxia or craving an epic with a dragon-touched hero, this might be your next binge.

The show starts off slow, and I completely understand why many people felt that way-I almost dropped it myself. But as the episodes progress, it gets better and better. The story gradually becomes so engaging, and the CGI improves tremendously, especially during the mid-series fight scenes-they were just wow!

This review is for anyone thinking of giving up early: don't. You'll miss out on an amazing story and top-notch production. After finishing it, I truly feel it deserves far more hype than it currently has because the storytelling is outstanding.

I will upload this review on MDL too.

Unfortunately, too many xianxia dramas in the past few years have been overwhelmingly boring compared to some of the jewels of the past such as Ashes of Love, The Journey of White Snake, An Oriental Odyssey and The Starry Love. Recently most xianxia dramas have been focused primarily on silly love stories without the adventure, action and mystery typical of xianxia dramas. In this case, the story is imbued with adventure, mystery, cultivation and magic thus making this drama the best release of 2025. I could watch several seasons as so far (I've only watched the first 20 episodes). Every single episode is very interesting and intriguing. The actors have done a fantastic job and the locations and special effects are jaw dropping. Bravo, bravo and bravo!
