Seeing both this and love beyond the grave getting review bombed while being great made me see the scores on this website are a complete joke and i need to find a different criteria to find good shows.
A question from an amateur (please don't stone me 😁): Why does an immortal master die? Isn't it a bit contradictory?
Because they arent true immortals, not even close to one actually. They are just cultivators but mortals dont know any better and call them immortals. S1 of this only covered the baby steps of cultivation. Even a power house in this cultivation world at the level of nascent soul only has a life span of 1-2k years (there are many levels above nascent soul before true immortality). True immortals DO exist usually in these stories but they are the absolute endgame and goal, usually cultivators dont even know if immortals actually exist or they disappeared in ancient times or its some great mystery. Even a true immortal can be killed tho, they just have infinite lifespan and great/godlike power.
If you like these sort of stories i recommend donghua or books (this or Er Gen's works) , tv shows usually just focus on romance, even if its a fantasy drama they basically ignore the cultivation part, this show is the only one i know that actually focuses on cultivation and even for this the donghua is much better and much further ahead (tv show covered 60eps while the donghua is at ep 150+ which is still only 25% of the novel but its airing weekly).
