Xie Wang Zhui Qi: Yishi Qingcheng

Xie Wang Zhui Qi: Yishi Qingcheng is an original net animation adapted from a popular web novel, produced by iQIYI to capitalize on the rising demand for high-fantasy Chinese animation. The series emerged during a period of significant growth for the donghua industry, where platforms leveraged established digital literature intellectual properties to build immediate, loyal audiences. It functions as a specialized extension of the broader Xie Wang Zhui Qi franchise, focusing on delivering a condensed, visually driven narrative experience.

The production design reflects contemporary trends in digital 3D animation common to major Chinese streaming studios. The visual style aims to balance intricate, period-accurate costume aesthetics with the dynamic, fast-paced action choreography expected of the cultivation genre. Upon release, the series was received primarily by the existing fan base of the source material, serving as a supplementary visual accompaniment that sought to translate the novel's complex character dynamics and magical world-building into an accessible, short-form format.
