Historical moment, so many people watched that bilibili even crashed, 450K. Would have hit 1M for sure if it wasn't broken for almost an hour.
The whole nascent soul process and the "Extraordinary" OP remix almost made me shed a tear, but it was just too hype for that. Next week, heart demon.

Ep. 32 relates to Chapt. 637 - 640

Such a beautiful and heavenly sight to behold!
Also ain't the little fella, his Nascent soul, so adorably cute!

And the two elders, Cheng Tiankun and Lu Luo are so comically funny!!!

@Kritoveris there are three sects in that mountain range. The two elders who visited Han Li belong to the same sect as Han Li (Fallen Cloud). The Fiery Dragon Boy is the leader of Ancient Sword.

Finally Han Li became a Nascent Soul after a long of journey, hindrance, and tribulation (It takes 156 episodes and 4 seasons) 😭 😭

Holy fuck that was unmatched. Nascent soul is one of the most established cultivation levels in dongua and I'm so glad they gave it the visuals and aura it deserves!

genuinely this show is so unapparelled, not a single detail is ever forgotten or overlooked, even the hardships of Han li's false roots were brought back up, and then incorporated into that awe inspiring display of transformation. Ironically, 'Better' roots that have less elements/are easier to strengthen probably wouldn't showcase such an intense display.

@zongxina HELL yah dude, love hearing my fav shows get this amount of love. I hope even more 3d long form animation shows sprout out from Mortal journey's success.

And can i just say that those pair of early nascent soul elder are endearingly hilarious, especially the general Iroh looking one. this show is step above its peers when it comes to body and facial expressions as far as comedy goes.

@Kritoveris hi. Han Li entered the Fallen Cloud Sect (aka Luoyunzong) which is an affiliation of Heavenly Dao Alliance (aka Heavenly Dao Union).

And this sect is closely interactive with Ancient Sword Sect (aka Gujianmen) and Hundred Possibilities Sect (aka Baiqiaoyuan) because these three sects guard the Spiritual Eye Tree (aka Spirit Well Tree) in the Dreamcloud Mountains.

Fallen Cloud Sect leader: late core Wei Yiming with nascent elder Cheng Tiankun. His nascent junior Elder Lu Luo
Ancient Sword Sect leader: nascent Jin Wuhuan with nascent elder Fiery Dragon Boy (aka Huolong Tongzhi) named Lan
Hundred Possibilities Sect leader: Grand Eccentric Pyre with Elder Chang Zheng

I can't remember much info about Baiqiaoyuan as novel Han Li doesn't interact much with 100 Possibilities sect leader. He interacts more with Old Man Fu

The leaders of these three sects in Dreamcloud Mountains don't report to anyone else, ie there's no Heavenly Dao union leader.

@AnastasiaWun so based on what the dragon boy elder said. the fallen cloud sect is now the only one out of the 3 sects to have 3 nascent experts right ? well,if han li is going to stay that is.
also,how far away is this place to the destroyed seven sects from 200 years ago ?

@Kritoveris
hahaha beats me!!!
I'm sorry i don't have a map to refer to, nor can i remember the boundary details, to guestimate.

Anyway, Han Li in current Luoyunzong sect is in the State of Xi, northernmost territory of Heavenly South

Huangfenggu (Yellow Maple Valley) was situated in the State of Yue of Heavenly South continent.

I don't know how far the distance it is away from State of Xi, but since we're talking about mountain ranges, I assume it's quite a distance away.
However, since both places are in same continent, i assume the travelling time between these two states doesn't take more than a year.

In novel Bk 2, Han Li could be travelling for decades before he could reach his intended destination!!!

@Kritoveris by how the 4 energy balls combined into one in the air, this looks like you'd have to be a 4x false root cultivator to get that specific visual, which probably never happened before. its honestly possible that no one alive has seen that before

maybe only elders that are nascent or have witnessed the energy from reaching nascent would be able to tell whats happening. then again everyone in the sect knew that their grand leader was going into seclusion to reach Nascent soul at the same time so maybe they just assumed at was the sect leader's energy.

@Ponniver the 2 nascent elders probably reached nascent more than 100 years ago,while all the current disciples probably still under 50 just like when han li was still in foundation establishment

Han Li holds the same map in episode 145. Travel time should be a few weeks to months depending on cultivation level.

more like the size of multiple suns. And this world (mortal realm) is like inner solar system size. Don't look too deep in it, the author's sense of scale, distance and speed is just kinda fucked.

@AnastasiaWun so at least 15 or so more episodes ? i think that's not very long considering how far the distance n how much stuff han li probably going to do here first. especially with the on going conflict n new threat,which i'm sure he'll get involved again

Watched on YouTube

His ball exploded and it cut to a commercial. "What?! Wtf is that?!"

It comes back from commercial and there's ball dust everywhere. Then a forking MOON grows out of the ground. Except it wasn't a moon lol

NO SPOILERS

I really hope he joins their sect. I want to see a stage of his life where he isn't constantly on the go, on the run, fighting for his life. But we know he's not gonna do it (I assume)

NO SPOILERS
