The Immortal Ascension episode 16 release date and time: Yang Yang's comeback heats up as Han Li faces new threats
The Immortal Ascension episode 16 release date and time: Fans of the xianxia saga The Immortal Ascension are all eyes on Episode 16, especially as the drama continues to build momentum with each intense installment. Starring Yang Yang in his long-awaited comeback after two years, alongside Jin Chen, this high-stakes fantasy drama has captured attention with its layered worldbuilding and gripping cultivation arc. As the storyline pushes deeper into sect rivalries and hidden powers, viewers are eager to know what's next—and exactly when to catch the next episode. My Immortal Ascension: What the C-drama is about Adapted from Wang Yu's popular web novel A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality, The Immortal Ascension (凡人修仙传) follows the story of Han Li, a humble and seemingly talentless young man who enters the Qi Xuan Sect hoping to rise through the ranks of the cultivation world. Unlike typical heroes blessed with divine gifts, Han Li relies on sheer perseverance, hidden artifacts, and clever survival instincts. The drama dives deep into ancient cultivation systems, internal martial conflict, and the slow-burning connection between Han Li and the mysterious Nangong Wan (played by Jin Chen), all set against a backdrop of power, betrayal, and spiritual ascension. My Immortal Ascension recap: What has happened so far The series kicked off with Han Li's recruitment into the Qi Xuan Sect by the suspicious Physician Mo, whose motives and methods soon revealed a sinister twist. Han Li endured a deadly ritual in which Mo attempted to sacrifice him as a vessel for a primordial spirit—but he survived by unleashing an ancient artifact. The trauma cost him dearly, but he escaped the valley with Zhang Tie, now possessed by the wandering soul Qu Hun. Since then, Han Li has continued cultivating in secret, mastering the Longevity Art and reaching tier 6, while concealing his powers. He later reappears to help save the Qi Xuan Sect from external attacks, forming new alliances and quietly searching for a cure to his internal injury. As his bond with Nangong Wan grows and old enemies resurface—especially Wang Chan, played by Wang Duo—the tension between rival factions and Han Li's mysterious origins takes centre stage. With 15 episodes released so far, the pacing has picked up, the visuals have improved dramatically, and the drama has started leaning harder into its more philosophical and emotional beats.
