About

A cultivation RPG, from mortal to Giả Anh

Cửu Thiên Huyền Giới is a top-down pixel cultivation RPG. It plays slowly. Tu vi comes from seated meditation counted in game hours and days, fighting is for materials, and breakthroughs happen when you decide you are ready.

The Trúc Cơ breakthrough window

Tu vi grows while you meditate

Tu vi grows by the game hour and the game day you spend seated. Every zone has its own linh khí density, so where you sit matters as much as how long.

Element thuật going off in a fight

Your root decides your art

Heaven rolls your root at character creation: one to five of Kim, Mộc, Thủy, Hỏa and Thổ, and one roll in a hundred is Hỗn Độn. Forty công pháp, nearly all tied to one of the five elements.

Day and night

A day and night lasts 60 real minutes: 30 of light, 30 of dark. The night market, the city gates and the villagers follow it. Events run on real Vietnam time.

Cultivation

Sit, break through, rise

The game never breaks through for you. Pick the wrong moment and you lose tu vi, materials, or the thiên kiếp fight.

1. Tĩnh tọa

Sit and take in linh khí. The gain is counted in game hours and days, thick linh khí zones pay more, and longer sessions pay a bonus.

2. Break through or hold

At a bình cảnh you pick: push through, or consolidate and take the next one later. One deed per bình cảnh adds fifteen percentage points and a đốn ngộ.

Thunder clouds gathering over the hero
3. Tribulation, then a realm

Before each major step comes a thiên kiếp you have to fight through. Clear it and your health, mana and thần thức rise, and your lifespan stretches.

Twenty-two realms

  • Luyện Khí 1 to 13
  • Trúc Cơ, four stages
  • Kết Đan, four stages, up to Giả Anh

Tu viGiả Anh, the last step for now

Lifespan comes with the realm: a hundred years as a mortal and through Luyện Khí, two hundred at Trúc Cơ, four hundred at Kết Đan. When the years run out you can huyết tế tái sinh: drop one major realm, live on, and pay five more years.

Two paths

Khí tu or huyết tu

One world, two ways to cultivate. The blood path hits harder and cannot fly, so every route has a walking way round.

A Kim Đan khí tu casting Thái Dương Chân Hỏa of Liệt Hỏa Kim Đan Kinh

Khí tu

The default path. You cultivate art that fits your root, break through with linh thạch, and ride a flying sword: the sky routes to the islands and the relics open up.

A Kết Đan huyết tu casting Huyết Long Đằng Thiên of Giao Long Huyết Đan Kinh

Huyết tu

You start from Xích Thổ. Instead of linh thạch you bathe in blood to climb the Huyết Cơ ladder, and you trade flight for a tougher body and heavier hands.

The root you are given

  • Kim
  • Mộc
  • Thủy
  • Hỏa
  • Thổ
  • Hỗn Độn, 1%

Your root sets the element of your cultivation art, your aura and your VFX. Hỗn Độn fits every element and turns up in one roll out of a hundred.

Flight

Swords, wings and pets

Reach Trúc Cơ and you can stand on your sword and fly at twice walking speed for 2 linh lực a second. You cross the cloud gulfs to the islands, but you come down inside a city, a sect or a fight.

The edge of Vấn Tâm Giai. Fly off it and you are over the cloud sea.

Wings

Thanh Vân Dực, Linh Điệp Dực, Huyết Ma Dực. Each pair has three stages, raised at the forge with no chance to fail. Higher stages add effects. An earned wing makes you run 2, 3 or 4% faster by stage; a wing bought with ngọc is for looks.

Cửu Vĩ Hồ in its Linh thể form beside its owner

Pets

Cửu Vĩ Hồ picks up loot, Hỏa Diệm Thú warns of Yêu hóa, Thủy Linh heals, Thạch Linh senses spirit veins. Feed it to raise its bond; a food it likes counts double. With enough bond, days and a rare item it grows to Thành thể, then Linh thể. A pet never dies, sits with you while you meditate and sleeps at night.

Auras and footprints

Four auras: Kim Liên, Tử Khí, Tinh Hà, Lôi Vân, drawn under your realm aura. Three footprints: Liên Ấn, Băng Ấn, Hỏa Ấn, left at each step and fading out. Every slot has a Hide switch, and no cosmetic adds attack, defence or tu vi.

The world

Thirty-six maps over five world pages

From Thanh Khê Village out to the sea: seven towns and cities, twenty-four wild zones, and five sect mountains. Walk, take the ferry, or light a teleport array.

Resources by zone

Linh khí density sets how fast you cultivate, herbs come back on a daily clock, and ore and beasts belong to their zone. Hidden linh mạch sit under the ground; you tap one by building a Tụ Mạch Trận on it.

The Thanh Vân Môn gate

Sects and factions

Four factions keep their own renown with you: Thanh Vân Môn and Huyết Sát Tông, plus Thiên Khu Thành and Vân Thủy Thành on the trade roads. Pass the exam at the gate, run the task board, earn cống hiến, enter the Đại Bỉ, and farm the bí cảnh that opens by weekday.

A relic hall ringed by lava

Relics open on a schedule

Relic sites and inheritance grounds open for a few days and close again. Inside you compete with other players for the same materials, so arriving early pays.

Zone maps

    Bestiary

    Each species fights its own way

    Lỵ Lực scrapes the ground for 0.6 seconds, marks a red lane and charges; miss it into a tree and it is stunned. Quỷ Diện Hầu snatches up to 3 items and runs 12 tiles. Mộc Yêu stands as a tree until you come within 2 tiles. Âm Hồn walks through walls at night and fears torches. Lộc Thục heals its whole pack, so it goes down first.

      Combat

      Melee, thuật and flying swords

      Melee combos, element thuật, ranged phi kiếm. Enemies pick targets off a threat table, elites bring their own attacks, and boss health scales with the size of the party in front of it.

      Fifteen Yêu Vương

        Fifteen Yêu Vương come in three stages: six you meet first, five more at Luyện Khí and Trúc Cơ, and four past Kết Đan. Three world bosses open to everyone at 12:30 and 20:30 Vietnam time every day, with the loot split by contribution.

        Crafting

        Pills, talismans, blades and arrays

        Four crafts, each gated by a phẩm exam before it opens its higher tiers. Materials come from beasts, herbs, veins and the secret realms.

        • Luyện đan
        • Phù lục
        • Luyện khí
        • Trận pháp

        Four crafts

        • Luyện đan: pills for health, tu vi and breakthroughs
        • Phù lục: single-use talismans that hit by element
        • Luyện khí: tế luyện, rèn and gấp thép raise gear by phẩm and by đạo
        • Trận pháp: formations, including the Tụ Mạch Trận that taps a linh mạch
        The bag with a Cực phẩm sword and its card

        Five grades

        From Phàm to Cực. The grade sets the item's stat budget and how many lines it can roll: none at Phàm, up to four at Cực. Tẩy luyện re-rolls what landed, and you can lock the lines you want to keep.

        • Hạ

        Market and coin

        Linh thạch is the coin. Shops pay forty percent and take at most ten thousand a month, Vạn Bảo sells the rare lines, caravans move stock between towns, and consignment sells for you. Online adds a shared market that takes five percent.

        Treasury

        427 items, from Common to Supreme

        The border shows the grade: grey Common, green Low, blue Mid, purple High, red Supreme.

          220 thuật and realm gifts

          Thuật sort by element, Kim, Mộc, Thủy, Hỏa and Thổ, then come the 54 gifts each breakthrough opens.

            Online

            One world, shared with other players

            Meet other cultivators in the wilds, form a party, trade on the shared market, found a đạo minh, climb the tower and race the season.

            The combat mode window

            Meeting out in the wilds

            Every wild map splits into three khu and you pick one. Parties hold four people. Towns, cities and sect grounds are An toàn and refuse a fight; out in Dã ngoại, Tranh đoạt and Hỗn loạn you can attack once you leave Hòa bình mode. A kill costs the victim ten percent of their linh thạch and marks the killer: red names draw the guards and a higher price, black names also show on the map and post a bounty.

            The đạo minh member list

            Shared market and đạo minh

            The shared market takes five percent and gives you a linh thạch kho and a parcel box. Auctions take real bids. Đạo minh are founded by players, twenty to forty of them, with roles, a fund, chat and a PK shield.

            The Ảnh Đấu window with opponents

            Ảnh Đấu and seasons

            Ảnh Đấu pits you against the shadow of another player, and each win lifts your rating. A season runs one month, and its rewards are titles, footprints and auras: nothing that touches your power.

            The Trấn Yêu Tháp window with this week's modifiers

            Trấn Yêu Tháp

            A tower you climb alone. Floors scale as you go and every fifth one holds a tàn ảnh. The modifiers change weekly and the ranking pays out at the end of it.

            Events

            One clock, Vietnam time, the same on every channel

            No event gates by realm: Phàm Nhân to Giả Anh all join. The game scales blows both ways to your realm, and the reward follows your realm too.
