Yeah, Valhalla is the seed I use. I haven't tried it with mods other than the translation mod, though. If any of them affect map generation, it might affect the seed's results.

I've been making it a project to put up a list of good map seeds with a decent to good sized spirit soils try ñ, 第六天堂魔王, or 杨国 all on large and enjoy the stupid large plots of soil. Side note, Areas with a lot of spirit soil tend to have the animals on it breakthough to demons a LOT. So keep that in mind when playing on these maps.

Q5. I know some more advance law came from winning the yearly Kunlun competition. Some might drop in chest from digging mountains.

Q6. Only if you want it to go all the way and not stop before tribulation. It should still be possible with more investment and long grinding.

Zurai

Wait -- I haven't even voted in this game yet!

I know for certain that it is possible to get Nine Turns Elixir (the alchemy law) from ancient chests that you get from mining, but I've had it happen exactly once in dozens of games. I have read that you can get some of the laws (like the treasure-refining law) from participating in the 1/year Kunlun Competition events, but I can't confirm that. There are a few advanced laws that are Sect-specific and you can only get by raising your reputation to the maximum with certain specific Sects on the world map and then trading for them. There are also some secret advanced laws that I have no idea how you're supposed to get them normally.

For your first disciple, don't worry too much about initial compatibility as long is it's relatively close to 100%. It's a long, long road to Nascent Soul, but once you're there, as long as you have at least 150k Qi (which, considering the AI Nascent Soul guys attacking my sect have two million Qi each, shouldn't be out of the picture even for relatively lackluster characters), you can learn abilities that make it much, much easier to elevate any Outer Disciple to a Golden Core/Nascent Soul relatively quickly. Also, it's pretty easy to shore up your own stats once you're a cultivator, so even an 80% initial compatibility character can get to 5 stars in compatibility for breakthroughs, it'll just cost you more Dao points and thus take longer (because you have to generate more Comprehension to pay for things).

Hey, I wanted to thank everyone in the thread for introducing me to cultivation novels. I'm reading I Shall Seal the Heavens and it's just delightfully ridiculous. Three books ago I was like "Okay, Meng Hao's already more powerful than god, how can they keep escalating this?" but it keeps on going, it's insane

Anyway it's great fun and I can't wait until this game gets translated so I can play it

How much essence is Coffee converting by the hour or day or how the measurement goes?
Might as well make the jump to Golden Core since the conversion rate looks like a newbie trap. I want Arcanuse to change the weather to a miasma when I breakthrough. It helps Fire Cultivators.

I personally think this essence conversion thing is a waste of time unless you have skill like Meditation to burn lifespan for rapid digestion. Even that doesn't add much Max Qi in Hats' case. It's probably better to find rare herb and elixir to eat instead. Pretty sure the pill we ate are for food to essence and not to Max Qi.

How goes the Formation work? Can Refiners last long enough to participate? How many are needed to start a Formation?
It doesn't have to work well, we just have to improve the levels among our Inners until Tribulations become a common thing.

Only one person is needed to heavily invests on the formation skill to be able to handle a viable load. Other Inners in the nodes can contribute too.

It's a huge sacrifice to spent hard earned comprehension EXP on skill that doesn't help you much, but we can remedy this issue through earning EXP rapidly from dark arts! :drac:

I woke up with a strange mentality today. Maybe due to yesterday’s chaotic list of advancements.


Perhaps something need to be changed, but preserving the same difficulty.


However, this ‘default’ setting is actually the easy mode for some aspect of the game. :airquote:


Except tribulation and combat, which is at the normal rate. I can’t drag any bar to the left. So, we will have to deal with the 1x pain. :zoro:


I do want to add something to make my life easier covers some weakness or lack of knowledge on my part.


This mod makes merchant visit every 10-15 days and they have 20-50k cash on hand. I will activated it after the next merchant visit.


We will download some building blueprint designed by someone and make fitting adjustment to it. The personal… Bèn touch if needed. :cosmic2day:


We will try out this Tribulation Tanking Platform (TTP) filled with element flag and wall. No idea how well it will perform, but it sure glow like the sun.


Since Hats will be strike by Wood Lightning, we will build the TTP in metal as direct counter. Hopefully the lightning doesn’t come with conductivity.

:thunk:
Would that make metal TTP an electric execution room for Hats?


We will need a new kitchen blueprint too. :tif:


I also realized that faith can be taken as EXP for non-divinity cultivator, but we will save it for them.


There are other ways to earn EXP.


Hmm... what new kitchen should we get?


Let’s make a new one after the slum is completed.


Coffee sighed as he returns from the demon trip.


This should be enough to clothe half of our Inner.


Since we have a lot of iron ore, it is time to graduate from Stone Age! :hist101:


Bad News: After spending hours making metal houses, it seems cheap iron doesn’t give enough Feng Shui boost compare to cheap brown rock blocks. So we are going back to Stone Age! :pseudo:


Regrettably, our supply of brown rock is hitting rock bottom, but we will use what we have left to straighten the line of our wall.


The last of our mountain have been cleared. No secret chest containing advance law or anything rare. I am quite tempted to hack ourselves into a new map.


Lots of metal door are installed between walls to grant easier access for pear harvest.


We might get rid of those doors once our Outer are done with construction and have time to devote themselves into full time farmer ‘cultivator’.


Failure doesn’t mean much when you can spam until you succeed. :homebrew:


Except Coffee’s law that could cause implosion, but it is safe to make Golden Core



Oh no! He have one day left!


Hurry! We must finish constructing TTP!


A storm cloud is forming above Hats’ head! :stonk:


This came sooner than I thought! Thanks, strange-mentality brain for this oddly good timing with the TTP! :sweatdrop:


Last minute skill purchase!


I am sure there’s an obvious solution to Hats’ conundrum, but a piece of backlog paper blocked my sight.


That’s it! The weather spell to counter the wood element lightning! Suck on this, heaven!


It seems we will not have dry weather for the next couple of days. :stonklol:


He will make more poop treasure while the storm gathers.


Our Golden Core returns with his injury.


Grade 7 is great, but rabbit meat? :tizzy:


It’s a pretty fair price for suffering a Metal injury.


We can’t afford the instant heal one, so he will have to take this medicine that I completely forgotten because it’s not in the herb room.


Hmm, so this can also cure Hats’ hair.


He will lose it all anyway.

:thunk:
Wait, the petrified hair injury is Earth, won’t that make the Wood lightning hits harder through his skull?


Hair protection platform is almost done.


Almost.


Hats has done all he could. He has accepted the inevitable and chose to spend his last few precious moment playing music to his disciple, whom cries in sorrow to his sleep.


He told Coffee to go for his Golden Core. Refining essence is a waste of time, and it would be shameful for his successor to be a Qi Refinement realm. Don’t expect master Arcanuse to cast a weather spell for you either, he can’t afford it in a million years.


The time of Wood Lightning have come.


Metal TTP is ready!


The wood(?) storm follows.


Hats need to tank all 7k Qi of this cloud.


His treasure flew out to use its stored Qi to tank with Hats.


The cloud is not amused by that crappy grade 1 or 2 treasure.


The lightning is so strong that the metal building is being lit on fire! :supaburn:


He understood how it feels to be Dead Meat.


Despite eating tons of Qi absortion boost items, Coffee doesn’t have much Qi to form a good core.


Many Outer rushes in to put out the fire, so that it doesn’t burn Hats to death.


Unfortunately, Hats only have enough Qi to tank half the tribulation.


The cloud fades away as it accomplished its task.




He’s still a Golden Core, but he can’t progress anymore.


His further progress is sealed.


It would be difficult to save him without a metal pill to cure them asap.


But the merchant hasn’t come yet.


Flamester’s fur got shock by a stray lightni-wait, METAL? The tribulation cloud is Metal!?

Edit: The cloud have green lights in it, so it should be Wood.


Epochol flies in to save the boss.


The slow curing powder for element injury has been administrated. Everyone waits patiently to see if he can survive from the deadly blow from heaven.



Grade 7 Golden Core is born. 5k Max Qi! :eyepop:

Would you like to reload and wait longer, Coffee?

I think I will hold off on reaching Golden Core and use the Deluxe Qi Array to breakthrough, when the Qi items have settled. See if it makes a difference and accept those results.

Anyone looking to be mentored will accept the task of escorting me, carrying items, and cleaning up after Flower Bun's murders while I travel abroad. I won't expect you to fight the beasts until you are a Refiner.

I think that is referring to location unlock that is given by a sect with high relation. Camping at the sect should only trigger sect related encounter, but don't quote me on that.

Fav gift only provides large boost. You only need high relation to get it when you triggers an event at their sect. They also give you gifts sometimes, and it could be law or rare herb that you wanted.

What happened last time was only a precognition dream of Coffee. He is obviously not going to become such a low grade Golden Core.


It’s too late to stop his master from getting fried, so he lends the Secret of Taiyi scroll that help to keep his corpse intact protects against all elemental damage.


He suggests Hats to consume this before the tribulation to preemptively heal his uh-‘Wood’ element damage during the tribulation.


Coffee can’t bear to witness the tragedy again, so he flew to that lust cult to drown in sorrow for indefinite amount of days.


WHAT!? :magical:



Hats' fate have changed! :stoked:


Thank you, ancestor. For reminding Coffee to not go Golden Core.


He would have survived the fatal injury anyway.


No one would rejects a better result for everyone.


Celebration~celebration~


Haha! It seems this Heaven Tribulation is nothing! A mere 8th-Grade Golden Core can tank it with half its Qi left! People must have exaggerated this lame piece of cloud! :agesilaus:


The Metal TTP proven to be a success!


It’s unfortunate that we don’t have enough material for other TTP, but with the left over irons…


Outer Segregation Section Slum Zone. Their lovely living condition will drove them to greatness!


Like Epochol who struggled with three back-to-back failures to succeed.


One more until he can water our pear forest.


The sect will also struggle through this trying time of financial difficulty.


Our precious spirit stone magic cushion in TTP was destroyed by the lightning and we can’t afford the repair fee…


At least we won’t starve.


Hats will have to pay us back in the Great Desert.


Ohhh! Is he selling that sword too? :v:


Demon blood worth quite a lot more than our happiness. :ghost:


Shei-Kun’s turn to suffer.


Literally.


I forgot Wood Law sometimes use lifespan to breakthrough.


But they are super easy! :madmax:


Ok, not super easy on building cultivation exp, but it’s better than surprise tribulation?


Speaking of which, we should make a TTP for Arcanuse. Since Hats (Earth) get hit by Wood, then Arcanuse (Wood) should get hit by Metal, which mean…


... we might need a safer design for his TTP.


Meanwhile, sad Coffee is welcomed by the lust cultist.


The “You know what I am here for” nods. :wiggle:


Our resident alchemist is also ready.


To breakthrough Slaan’s Ugly Fire law.


Ohh! A legacy of our ancestor has returned to give us guidance!


Cotton mountain nearby!


Everyone at home will go while those stationed elsewhere will returns to guard the sect.


Not Hats. He’s half a map away.


Coffee is half as far as Hats by distance. We will send him to the mountain if it’s repeatable.


Just in time for old granny Shei-kun to score some pity points from our ancestor!


Slaan returned home right after everyone left.


Not much progress for her vacation in the mortal world. The ancestor probably can’t give her any mortal life experience.


Flower Bun will do.


Huh!?


His treasure crushed his tail from failing the breakthrough. :gibs:


The great irony of the treasure being a medical acupuncture needle set.


Epochol is the first to come upon the legacy.



He was not worthy of the Treasure Law.


Maybe it needs someone who dumped points into treasure refinement.


A lot of points.


It’s about time for Dead Meat to cultivates a bit until the next food shortage.


Welcome to your 51 Celsius fire room with Earth bed. Be sure to grab the resist heat charm or you will be roasted. :fork:
