A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality (2019)

[whitesnake]

A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality is an upcoming 3D CGI animate animated feature film getting a 2019 Chinese release from Golden Pond Media Corp.  It is a Chinese-Japanese coproduction with the CG contracted to Digital Frontier, a Japanese company with a large-scale CG production department and a motion capture studio.  Digital Frontier has worked on the Infini-T Force anime series and anime feature films, including Gantz:O, Summer Wars, and Tekken: Blood Vengeance, as well as video games.  The movie plot is based on a web novel (same title, more xianxia than wuxia) by Wang Yu (not the actor).   "A poor and ordinary boy from a village joins a minor sect in Jiang Hu and becomes an Unofficial Disciple by chance. How will Han Li, a commoner by birth, establish a foothold for himself in his sect? With his mediocre aptitude, how will he successfully traverse the path of cultivation and become an immortal? This is a story of an ordinary mortal who, against all odds, clashes with devilish demons and the ancient celestials in order to find his own path to immortality."  The novel is being translated here - http://www.wuxiaworld.com/rmji-index/  The trailer has great mountainous landscapes, a flying swordsman (on a sword surfboard), lovely swordswomen, an underground albino monster, and a magic shield and multiplying sword.   The animation trailer is here (but I prefer the trailer version using Two Steps from Hell for BGM) -  

An earlier animated video, probably from a Chinese source, not Digital Frontier, with different scenes and a pretty song, is here -
