CGI shows I've seen that I think are worth watching.
Sorted in what I consider best to worst order.
Tu Bian Yingxiong X
ONA, 2025, 24 eps Me:- Author:8
Still airing, but potentially the best of the bunch by a fair margin.
Fanren Xiu Xian Chuan: Chongzhi Ban
ONA, 2023, 21 eps Me:- Author:8
This is the remaster for Season 1 with improved visuals.
Recommended to everyone who's ever read Chinese cultivation novels, and to those who want to tip their toes in the genre.
Follows a mortal Han Li's journey to immortality after he discovers that he can cultivate. Has some action, nice visuals & good pace in my opinion.
Ling Long: Incarnation
ONA, 2019, 6 eps Me:- Author:8
Humanity is on it's last legs, as earth is swarmed by unkillable monsters. The final bastion is a large structure called Lighthouse. Hunters go on missions to gather supplies for humanity to live on, similarly different factions within Lighthouse accomplish different duties. People are divided into classes by their genetics & parental relationships are illegal.

Carnivores & herbivores try to coexist.
Well written story & characters.

Gory dystopian world where magicians do terrible experiments on non-magicians. Both sides are heartless towards eachother & mass murder is just another tuesday. Superb background artwork & nice story that doesn't take itself too seriously.
Cang Yuan Tu
ONA, 2023, 26 eps Me:- Author:7
A well rounded show. Although the story is lackluster, this has some well choreographed fight scenes & an enjoyable soundtrack to accompany it. Very artistic visual effects.

Very high peaks, but a few moments were boring & cringe inducing.
Houseki no Kuni
TV, 2017, 12 eps Me:- Author:7
I unfortunately forgot most of this show. Gem girls fighting against invaders, mostly in a static location. Story follows the weakest gem.
Mushen Ji
ONA, 2024, ? eps Me:- Author:7
An abandoned baby is found in the river by strong individuals who live in exile. The baby is raised by them & becomes powerful. Doesn't really focus on fights or cultivation, but rather just on the characters & a bit of the surrounding lore.

Fights aren't anything amazing, but overall good pacing leads to every episode being enjoyable. Visuals are also decent & nothing looks cheap or out of place, which is something you'd see in older works from most studios.
Shen Yin Wangzuo
ONA, 2022, 26 eps Me:- Author:7
Humans vs Demons, war has been at a deadlock for 6000 years.
Story is about a new generation of individuals growing stronger to defeat the demon king. It doesn't take itself too seriously & is in large part about friendships, romance & comedy too.
Shixiong A Shixiong
ONA, 2023, 13 eps Me:- Author:7
A cultivation story focused on the comedy aspect.
Uses chibi characters & goofy animations, and has pretty nice visual effects for fight scenes.
Jian Lai
ONA, 2024, 26 eps Me:- Author:7
Cultivation story. First season is pretty much just a prologue & MC is useless.
Show looks visually pretty good & I think compared to other cultivation shows, the foundation they built here is solid. Felt a bit convoluted however.
Zhe Tian
ONA, 2023, 156 eps Me:- Author:6
Slow beginning & arcs only start to properly tie together after 36 episodes.
But if you can get past the start, it's decent.
Zhan Shen: Fanchen Shenyu
ONA, 2024, 15 eps Me:- Author:6
Decent action show about humans with special powers in a modern society, fighting other factions & unnatural creatures. I like the visual style, OST & setting somewhat.

The show is directed in a way that I heavily dislike though. Every 2 seconds it's like the camera HAS to be in a different angle, or different time & place entirely.
Tunshi Xingkong
ONA, 2020, 26 eps Me:- Author:6
A bit rough around the edges, but a unique specimen even among the cultivation genre. It's a story about humanity fighting against extinction by strong mutated animals & eventually evolves into fights in the space. Very sci-fi
Ajin
TV, 2016, 13 eps Me:- Author:6
The low FPS might be rough to bear, but this has a good story.
Immortal humans are labeled a threat to mankind. Story follows a normal boy who becomes an immortal & has to live with people trying to capture & run brutal experiments on his regenerative abilities.
Douluo Dalu
ONA, 2018, 26 eps Me:- Author:5
By large many people consider this their first good Chinese 3D animation. Probably due to how it was released in 2018 when the competition was weak. Reincarnation & cultivation story. Revolves around cultivation, friendships, romance, comedy & group fights.
Doupo Cangqiong
ONA, 2017, 12 eps Me:- Author:4
Seasons 1 & 2 are bad. The remake of Season 1 is good, but half-baked.
After that, it's enjoyable. Not sure if I'd recommend personally though.

Cultivation story that begins with main character's fiancee wanting to cancel their engagement, which leads to them swearing to face eachother in battle within 3 years. MC has to overcome a hurdle though, since his cultivation had entirely stagnated.
