Immortal arts, magic weapons, magical powers, and the boundless spiritual qi between heaven and earth vanished into obscurity overnight, and all exorcists turned to mere mortals.
Three hundred years later, the Five Hus traversed the pass, it was a prelude to an era of great turmoil in China. They heralded the end of the world, where thousands of drought fiends stalked the night—the collapse of the Divine Land is imminent.
Fortunately, within this long, dark night where silence had fallen on all magic, a lone star still glistened brightly on the horizon.
The Heart Lamp appeared, illuminating the vast expanse around it. A 16-year-old young man, who will end his life on his twentieth birthday, embarked on a journey to reclaim the spiritual qi of heaven and earth that had been sealed away—only four years remain.
The road ahead was filled with countless thistles and thorns, and it seemed improbable for him to succeed.

A summary of my thoughts: - The things that really made this series work were the interesting storyline, worldbuilding, and a selection of the major characters. The main character was quite charming if oblivious, Xiang Shu's irritation was fun to watch, and the wolf and deer were intriguing. - Out of all the danmei series I've watched recently, this one in particular was obviously lower budget. There were a lot of production issues like lower-quality CG art and poorly-handled storyboarding and novel-to-screen conversion problems. - I will say that Legend of Exorcist, to which this is a prequel of sorts, has similar storyboarding issues,so I suspect a small part of the problem may be the author's writing style not being in distinct movie-able "scenes".
- I haven't read the novel and have found that I enjoy series more this way. I didn't have any issues with the adaptation and am actually interested in knowing more about everything.
Overall, not the best danmei series of the lot, but I still enjoyed following the story. Also, if you've seen Legend of Exorcist first, there are some fun tie-ins as you go.

I cannot believe this anime flew so far under the radar. I stumbled across Dinghai Fusheng Lu\Epic of Divinity Light by accident while looking through Billibili's general 3dCGIs. The first 15 or so minutes may confuse you as it's a little disjointed, but don't let that stop you. I'm not even a fan of zombie anime but this one is *totally* unique! It is a BL (and a slow burn at that) between Shu Xiang, a moody kick a** Clan Leader\warrior type and Xing Chen (or Chen Xing?), at 16 the last great exorcist. This is a prequel to Tianbao Fuyao Lu. Magichas been silenced, and as a heart light has returned to the world through Xing Chen (and so have zombies), it foretells a great disaster is on it's way. Xing Chen must find his Guardian Great God of War (Shu Xiang - the Great Chayou [sp]) and work together to track down clues to restore magic\Qi and defeat evil. Of course, Shu Xiang is not up for the challenge at first. It doesn't take long, though, for him to answer the call (and take care of Chen). Chen also has a ticking time bomb over him which also adds impetus to the story\star crossed lovers.
This anime gets the pacing right: with the exception of the weird first fifteen minutes, every episode furthered the storyline perfectly. There really isn't 10 episodes of laying down the backstory and introducing the characters.
The CG art\animation is top notch. Full stop. One of the COOL things they do is 1) during the end credits they alternate between video of an artist actually qouaching\watercoloring in the storyboard or 2) showing you...um...landscape scenes from an important plot point. The cut scenes are either elements of period\historical items that were utilized in the show or storyboarding artwork for individual items used in the show.
How cool is that?
The last two episodes were, in a word, *heartbreak.* Like...some of the saddest plot lines I've seen to date in *any* anime (and I'm a Tang San\Wu fan for life\BTTH gazebo in the rain storm with Dad fan). They were total misdirects and I wanted to see more! Unfortunately, the machine translation for the webnovel is so horrific that it's kinda hard to pick up where this season left off.
So, here's the bad news: As good as this anime was, and as great as it's the prequel to Tianbao Fuyao Lu, it looks like it's on hiatus. What does that mean? No clue. Did COVID interrupt it? No clue.
I'd like to think that, because this anime wasn't on *one* list and wasn't promoted, perhaps people just didn't know about it? The studio didn't think it was worthwhile to continue?
Lesson learned: if you see something worthwhile that has been left off of everyone's radar, say something! :). Maybe if enough people watch this Season the studio may pick it back up?
I really, really hope so.
You should check this one out.
