Mòfǎ Xiānlù

Mòfǎ Xiānlù is an independent cultivation game set in an era when spiritual energy has waned. You lead the declining Yin-Yang Sect and work to restore it, while exploring a world shaped by the sealing of the Nine Provinces Cauldrons.

Story and world

Ancient legends say that after Pangu created heaven and earth, spiritual energy filled the world and many immortal sects arose. The conflict between Gonggong and the Heavenly Emperor ended when Gonggong broke Mount Buzhou, bringing devastating floods. Emperor Yao appointed Gun to control the waters, but after nine years without success, Emperor Shun exiled him to Feather Mountain and tasked Gun’s son, Yu, with the work. Yu travelled across the land, studied its mountains and waterways, divided it into nine provinces and brought the floods under control over thirteen years. Emperor Shun then yielded the throne to him.

During the flood-control effort, Yu saw how the power of immortals and demons could threaten humanity. He established arrays across the nine provinces to cut off the source of spiritual energy between heaven and earth. In the ages that followed, the energy dwindled and immortals and demons withdrew into hiding. A few gifted cultivators still learn immortal arts and extend their lives, but they are far less powerful than the immortals of Yu’s era. Later generations call the period after Yu the Age of Declining Dharma.

Sects and cultivation

The world has nine sects: Confucianism, Mohism, the Way of Heaven, Shamanism, Buddhism, Daoism, the Witch Sect, the Guigu Sect and the Yin-Yang Sect. In the current version, you play as the leader of the Yin-Yang Sect.

Cultivation arts cover eight branches: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, spiritual sense, lightning and physique. Each branch has five tiers, with 200 talent bonuses in total. There are also 120 skills across five tiers in eight branches: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, demon, lightning and spiritual sense. Based on the Later Heaven Bagua, the skills interact through generation and restraint, and can be combined with one another.

Restore the Yin-Yang Sect

Your sect has fallen into decline, and you must rebuild it. It has 27 kinds of buildings, each with a different function. You can recruit disciples from the academy, assign them tasks and guide their training to help restore the sect.

Trade and investment

Prices change with market conditions in the simulated world. When supplies are plentiful, you can buy goods for less; when they are scarce, you can sell them for more. Each of the nine sects is associated with an industry and offers financial activities. Returns from financial management and investment depend on the sect’s development, and you can influence a sect’s value to seek higher returns.
