At the beginning of the story, Wei Wuxian ends up experimenting with Mo Dao, or the 'demonic path,' a dark energy that lies underneath Xian, or immortality, something that all cultivators strive to achieve. He rises in power but is ultimately killed and reincarnated. He reunites with Lan and so their adventure begins.

Japanese singer Aimer is known for her deep, husky voice which once you hear it, you'll never forget it.
Last year, Aimer released her song STAND-ALONE which was used as the main theme for the Japanese television drama series Anata no Ban Desu. She followed that up with Torches, which served as the ending theme for the anime series Vinland Saga. Her new and 18th single Haru wa Yuku/marie will be released on March 25, 2020. Haru wa Yuku will be used as the main theme for the upcoming anime film Fate/stay night: Heaven’s Feel III. spring song which will release on March 28, 2020 as the final film in the planned trilogy. The other track, marie, was used as the theme song for the Japan and Austria Habsburg Exhibition. Aimer wrapped up her Aimer Hall Tour 19/20 “rouge de bleu” at Tokyo International Forum (Hall A) on February 22 and 23. The tour, which was themed around the colours red and blue, began in October last year, and saw Aimer perform 24 shows in 17 cities around Japan. The shows were split into two parts: the first being "Blue" which was centred around ballads, and the second being "Red" which was comprised of up-tempo tracks. During her performance of Torches, Aimer actually stepped onto stage holding a torch. Aimer announced during the encore of the last show of the tour that marie would be released for digital download and streaming that night, ahead of the March 25 CD release. She also announced her next tour entitled "Aimer Acoustic Tour 2020." The acoustic tour will begin on September 4, 2020 and will see Aimer perform 18 shows in 17 cities around Japan.

The music video for Aimer's new song Haru wa Yuku has been posted on the singer's official YouTube channel. The song will be used as the main theme for the upcoming anime film Fate/stay night: Heaven’s Feel III. spring song which will release on March 28, 2020 as the final film in the planned trilogy. Aimer also performed the main themes for the previous two films, Fate/stay night: Heaven’s Feel I. presage flower (2017) and Fate/stay night: Heaven’s Feel II. lost butterfly (2019).
Takahiro Miki was the director for Aimer's previous two main themes for the first two films, Hana no Uta and I beg you, which both have over 10 million views on YouTube. They star Japanese actress Minami Hamabe. Both Takahiro Miki and Minami Hamabe have returned for the final music video too, completing the trilogy. In the video, we see Minami Hamabe in two different outfits, black and white, standing underneath a cherry blossom tree in full bloom. Its beauty is a faint allusion to the Fate/stay Night: Heaven's Feel movie story line, mixed together with chaos. We also see Hamabe appear as she did in the Hana no Uta and I beg you music videos too. Seeing an actress star in a long-term music video project like this, which has been ongoing since October 2017, is a rare thing indeed. The current version of the new music video is just a teaser, but the full version is scheduled to be released on Aimer's YouTube channel in the near future. The artwork for Aimer's 18th single Haru wa Yuku/marie was also posted on her official website and features Aimer herself sat under a fully-bloomed cherry tree. Aimer said: "I'm so incredibly happy to have been able to weave this story together into one from three songs with [Yuki] Kajiura and three music videos together with director Miki and Minami, finishing with 'Haru wa Yuku.' I'm filled with gratitude for the both of them [Miki and Minami]. I want everyone to watch this final piece while thinking about 'Hana no Uta' and 'I beg you.' I hope this music video and the song 'Haru wa Yuku' resonates with people deeply." ©TYPE-MOON・ufotable・FSNPC Information

Japanese singer-songwriter Aimer, known for her deep and husky voice, is currently on her sold out 24-date tour Aimer Hall Tour 19/20 "rouge de bleu" which is taking her to 17 locations across Japan.
Aimer revealed at her concert on Saturday 14th in Sendai that she will perform the main theme song for the upcoming anime film Fate/stay night: Heaven's Feel III. spring song which will release as the final film in the planned trilogy in 2020. Aimer also performed the main themes for the previous two films, Fate/stay night: Heaven's Feel I. presage flower (2017) and Fate/stay night: Heaven's Feel II. lost butterfly (2019). The title of the song is Haru wa Yuku ("Spring Continues"). It will be produced by Yuki Kajiura who also produced the previous two main themes by Aimer, Hana no Uta and I beg you. I beg you peaked at No. 1 on Oricon's Weekly CD Singles charts, so excitement is high to hear Aimer's next collaboration with Kajiura. Haru wa Yuku will release on March 25, 2020 as Aimer's 18th single. It will include a new song entitled marie which is being used as the image song for "The Habsburg Dynasty 600 Years of Imperial Collections," an exhibition currently taking place at the National Museum of Western Art in Tokyo from until January 26, 2020 in commemoration of Japan and Austria's 150 years of friendship. Aimer said: "I am both happy and privileged to be able to sing all of the main theme songs until the final film like this. I would like to thank Kajiura, as well all of the people associated with the series, and all of the people who love the series, from the bottom of my heart. I was overwhelmed when Kajiura presented me with this song. I knew we'd have to perfect it down to the tiniest details. But I also wanted to sing about love, and all of the emotions it comes with, succinctly in one answer, and so I sang with everything I had. I cannot stop hoping that 'Haru wa Yuku' is a sing that the people who have watched the story to the end will love." Yuki Kajiura said: "I am so happy from the bottom of my heart to have been able to work on the three main theme songs of Fate/stay night: Heaven's Feel with Aimer. Over the course of the series, her voice has added to its flavour, and has consistently tied together everything from the sound to the world and how the heroines are portrayed. And she has once again poured her soul into 'Haru wa Yuku,' the song of the final chapter. I hope people enjoy it." Information
