This drama uses the classic Chinese mythological story "The Record of Searching for Spirits" as its backbone and combines pleasing-to-the-eye animation special effects and a fantastical, mysterious artistic approach to create a grand play involving three realms: immortals, humans, and demons.
Zhilè knows her destiny; she obtains spiritual energy from her mother who was once a magical herb, transforming her into a half-immortal being. When she was young and bullied by mischievous children, she was saved by the Great Immortal Huang and thus obtained the strength of nine oxen and two tigers. Xi is cursed with an affliction that causes her to fall asleep without reason, but because the spirit of the sword Ganjiang resides within her, she learns extraordinary swordsmanship. These three individuals, blessed with ties to the celestial, encounter a generation of malevolent demons that bring calamity.
Will they be able to use the powers given to them by heaven to destroy the monsters and save people from dire straits?
