Synopsis

Yang Chen, the grandson of the Patriarch of the Yang Mansion, was ridiculed by the people in the mansion because he had not awakened his Dao Soul for a long time. In desperation, he breaks through himself to awaken the Dao Soul and Qi Ling Huangyu, and realizes that the crowd headed by his uncle is forcing Grandpa to give up the position of Patriarch. Afterwards, Yang Chen decided to improve his strength to protect his family, and went to Youyun Mountain alone to find medicine. In the end, everyone's conspiracy was broken and the position of Patriarch was kept. (Source: Youku)

Audience Consensus

The audience finds the plot and characters generic and uninspired. Despite improved animation quality, the unearned power progression, poor writing, and archetypal characters create a lackluster experience. Viewers may be willing to watch for the improved 3D animation quality.

Strengths

  • Improved 3D animation quality with recognizable character faces and clear expressions.
  • Fun clothing textures enhance visual appeal.

Weaknesses

  • Fast pacing leads to unexplained plot elements and inconsistencies.
  • MC's power gains feel unearned.
  • Women characters are archetypal and lack unique personalities.
  • Writing is poor, and characters are bland.
