About the Game
Welcome to our community:
When you first awaken on the blood-stained altar, you're bewildered.
But by the tenth resurrection, you've mastered the secret of escaping death.
"As payment, offer me the Lifespan crystalline..." the altar whispers in your ear.
"If you are truly the Chosen One, then I am at your service," the cultivatrix vows before you.
In "Ancient Cultivatrix," assist the cultivatrix in honing their Taoist energy and advancing their spiritual journey. Perhaps this time, you'll unveil the enigmatic truth.
Encounter with Fair Maiden
By a twist of fate, you encounter some young girls. Through daily interactions, you gradually earn their trust and reliance. However, in this fallen realm, formidable foes lurk at every turn, this cultivation adventure is fraught with challenges.
To nurture the potential of these cultivatrices and study the ancient arts of cultivation together. You might even reach the threshold of the divine realm.
Fire Projectiles to Fight
30+ monster encyclopedia: Those who glimpsed the Old Ones have been corrupted into malevolent minions. This forbidden land is rife with danger, and fierce battles are inevitable.
10+ The Old Fallen Lord: These bosses are forbidden entities, wandering in the abyss. Defeat them before the world crumbles...
You'll lead an elite squad, carving a bloody path to victory. In the later stages, an Endless Purgatory challenge mode is also included to play through!
Flexible Matching Strategies
25+ combat systems: Five types of weapons combined with five elemental attributes give rise to dozens of skills, helping you gain a strategic advantage.
20+ bond system: Tides' chant, Fine star blade... These talents each excel in different battle situations. But it's up to you, the leader, to make crucial decisions.
150+ ancient artifacts: Wind-borne chime, arctic fox skull... These items, long forgotten in the corners of battlefields, silently await the next host.
Refine an Elixir and Sell It
After your adventures, your backpack is crammed with sticky eyeballs and sharp fangs. Use them to refine elixirs, mastering this ancient art until you reach the pinnacle of perfection.
Meanwhile, mysterious strangers await outside, crave for your elixirs. Trade with them to obtain Lifespan crystalline, and sacrifice it to the altar to gain mysterious powers.
"Ethereal essence fuels our advance, Endless path through time and space."
After all, in this corrupted and decaying fallen world, this is the only way to gain power without pain or hidden dangers...

Bug Fixes Fixed the bug where the achievement did not trigger. Fixed the bug with the item incorrectly deducting HP. Using this item now shouldn't result in instant death… hopefully...
