The official Weibo account for A Mortal’s Journey to Immortality has announced that the donghua show has officially surpassed 4.5 billion views. The account also revealed that RMJI has a Douban rating of 9.5!

A statement from the RMJI Weibo account reads: “Demonic shadows invade the mind, yet the heart remains steadfast. Spiritual clouds sweep across the sky, extending the boundless spirit. The inner demons are finally vanquished, the Nascent Soul is formed, and the achievements are as blazing aA Mortal’s Journeys the stars. May we uphold this original aspiration on this mortal journey and explore new connections in the mystical realm.”

A Mortal’s Journey to Immortality’s director also revealed why Han Li makes some of his choices in the show: 

“Our cultivation stages—Qi Condensation, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul, Divine Transformation—aren’t just empty labels. I understand many donghua fans want those hype moments, that ultimate rush where it’s ‘my fate is mine, not Heaven’s.’ But first, you have to have a life to live. if you want satisfaction, you have to be strong. You have to win to get that thrill. If you’re weak and you lose, you don’t get hype experience. That’s brutally real. And that’s the foundation of RMJI: Mortals can’t beat Qi Condensation cultivators. No divine weapons dropping from the sky. No last-minute power-ups. It’s bloody, it’s raw—that’s reality. That’s why Han Li makes so many of his choices. If he doesn’t have the strength to protect the people around him, he simply won’t pretend he can. He knows his priority is to become stronger first.”

In addition, RMJI recently won the “Weibo Annual Chinese Animation IP” award. The donghua staff said that the Mortal Animation uses its passion and skill to bring the world of immortal cultivation to life, bringing the IP to life. They also thanked all the fans for their continued support.
