About This Game

Try two sects in the free demo

Choose the Tianhe Sword Sect or Taiyue Qianji Sect. In Path to Ascension, collect methods, artifacts and materials, arrange your three-layer Bagua board, advance through cultivation realms and face builds left by other players in asynchronous duels. Your opponent does not need to be online at the same time.

Expeditions are still in development and are not included in the current demo. Expedition footage below shows a development version.

Expeditions: treasure and the journey home (in development)

Search ruins and points of interest on a randomly generated map, gathering methods, artifacts and materials. Avoid roaming beasts or fight them. Some sites lead to separate realms where you search containers, open paths and defeat the enemies guarding them.

Your backpack has limited space, and treasures take up different amounts of it. Choose what to take and what to leave behind. Travelling farther may bring more treasure, but it also means a longer journey home. Your actions advance the calendar as day, night and the seasons change.

Build your fighting style on a Bagua board

Methods, artifacts and materials each have their own ring. Check which sectors your methods cover, where each artifact sits, its element and the effects your materials add.

Flying swords, cannons and puppets work in different combinations. A new item may strengthen your current build or give you a reason to try another approach. Artifacts use Divine Sense capacity; exceeding the limit reduces your maximum health.

Let your artifacts fight, then choose when to unleash your Domain

Artifacts fight according to their cooldowns and trigger conditions. Watch their sequence and the result, then adjust your board for the next duel.

After reaching Divinity and obtaining a Domain, you choose when to unleash it. It must finish charging first, and each side can use its Domain once per battle. Opening first gives you time to suppress your opponent. When both Domains are active, their suppression of the opposing side cancels out while their own-side benefits remain.
