Exploit, explore, and expand in the world of Cultivation, exterminate all factions, and lead your sect to ascension! Expand your sect between endless mountains and rivers! From spiritual herb Fields to grand Abodes, every brick and tile is imbued with Daoist essence. Will you hold your ground or strike boldly? Seek out spiritual veins, choose the perfect site to found your sect, and let your ever-expanding territory become the iron-blooded emblem of your sect's strength! Build facilities and study alchemy, comprehend the mysteries of Yin and Yang, deduce the secrets of heaven and earth, construct alchemy chambers to produce rare elixirs, set up spirit-gathering formations to accelerate disciples' cultivation, and forge defensive arrays to deter all threats, resist the will of heaven! Behind the thick mist lies hidden treasures! Temper your sect's strength and gradually tear through the mysterious fog shrouding the continent. Step onto ancient battlefields, search for lost immortal abodes, and encounter fortuitous events. Each deepening exploration brings new discoveries, new crises, and new opportunities that can overturn the balance of power! Navigate carefully in a cultivation world filled with rival sects, seize strategic opportunities, conquer enemy sects, plunder their disciples and treasures! Only by merging strategic management with the mysteries of creation can you lead your Sect from humble beginnings, devour your rivals step by step, shake the world, and ultimately achieve the immortal Ascension legacy.
