Synopsis:
Lu Chen, once a powerful agent known as "Shadow," finds himself stripped of his cultivation and exiled after a fateful encounter. A decade later, he’s tasked by his former mentor to infiltrate the Kunlun Sect, a seemingly devout organization harboring hidden secrets. Disguised as a humble handyman, Lu Chen navigates the sect's inner workings while forging unexpected bonds with fellow disciples, particularly a woman named Yi Xin.
His mission to repair an ancient artifact leads him down a path of uncovering concealed truths about Kunlun and its leadership. As he delves deeper, long-held beliefs about good and evil are challenged, revealing a complex web of motivations and betrayals. The story explores themes of redemption, the fluidity of morality, and finding purpose beyond predefined roles, ultimately prompting Lu Chen to redefine his own path by prioritizing personal conviction over established dogma.

Stop right there! Please read before start watching. Overall: a solid 6 out of 10 (mostly for visual quality) Scene details/textures/rendering are very sharp and clean. Animation is very enjoyable to watch, smooth like butter~ Love it! (Maybe because it’s 60fps mocap? I dunno. but very impressive) Sound effect is also decent… 3D character models, not much to say, clean, cute, 3D but 2D-like, alright. The Not good part is… How they unfolded the story is Very Confusing, I watched it on WeTV official so subtitle isn’t the problem, it is just really confusing 😂. They hide so much important details from audiences, I don’t know how theoriginal novel is written. But here there is obviously lacking in back stories of Everything, only MC had the privilege to reveal a bit of his backstory. Even so! We still don’t know his full back story that much. For example, the big past event which mentioned in the series, it still hasn’t been unfolded as well even the series ended.nnThe Ending isn’t really satisfying, It feels like watching a video game demo which tells player that there are LOTS and LOTS of things needed to be unfolded later, please stay tuned for more... And about Power scaling, nope, doesn’t really exist here so just forget about them, only normal people with a bit skills and Real powerful immortal (only 2 in this season)nnI would personally recommend anyone who plan to watch this, just hold off until the next season comes out (If that will even happen). Otherwise your head would filled up with questions like I have. I’m stuck… 🤔I need to know mooooore Ughhh 🤦 where whennnnnnOr If you just need something to watch and don’t have to think much about story then here it is. Enjoyable.
