Seeking Immortality in the Sect

Seeking Immortality in the Sect is a cultivation game built around seasonal resets. You join a sect, learn cultivation methods and combat arts, break through to higher realms, and compete with fellow disciples for resources. You can grow spiritual herbs, refine pills, craft treasures and trade with other players.

At the beginning of each season, your character level, equipment and regular resources reset, and you choose a sect again. You can take different approaches from one season to the next, such as wielding a sword, commanding fire and lightning, or supporting allies with healing and defensive arts. Spirit pets, cosmetics, tokens, titles and other designated content carry over between seasons.

Four sect traditions

Each sect has its own starting cultivation method and progression path:

• Swordseeker Mountain: Use non-elemental sword attacks that pierce defenses, and combine them with certain elemental sword arts to stack additional penetration effects.
• Heavenflame Sect: Use fire arts for area damage and burning effects, or lightning arts to inflict shock and paralysis.
• Mountainsea Sect: Use water arts to heal and buff allies, or earth arts to bolster defense and turn defensive strength into damage.
• Spiritweave Pavilion: Use wood arts to control enemies, weaken groups of foes and heal allies.

Lead your sect

During the first week of each season, sect members can enter a tournament to compete for leadership. The winner becomes Sect Master and can appoint members to positions and increase their monthly stipends. You can complete sect tasks for contribution points, challenge sect bosses together, explore secret realms, compete for rare materials and work with fellow disciples to reclaim lost sect resources. As the sect gains levels, its disciples cultivate faster, and every member contributes to its success.

Shape your cultivation

Meditate to accumulate cultivation, then break through to earn talent points and gradually unlock more slots for cultivation methods and combat arts. You allocate talents and combine techniques with equipment to suit your preferred playstyle. Contribution points let you obtain your sect’s techniques from its treasury; techniques from other sects must be acquired through boss battles or trading with players. Each stage limits how many methods and arts you can learn, so your choices shape your build.

Grow herbs and refine pills

Plant and nurture spiritual herbs, then harvest them to sell at the market or refine them into pills. Pills increase cultivation and improve your chances of a breakthrough. Other disciples can steal your herbs, so you need to keep an eye on your garden.

Customize gear and treasures

Equipment has ten tiers corresponding to the major cultivation realms, and five quality grades: Low, Medium, High, Profound and Heavenly. You can enhance base attributes and reroll bonus stats on weapons and armor. Earth cultivators can use shields and focus on health, physical defense and magical defense, improving both survivability and damage. Sword cultivators can choose swords, sabers, spears and other weapons to complement their techniques, and your sect does not restrict your equipment choices.

You can craft ten types of treasures. They have no progression tiers, and each provides its own attribute bonuses and a randomly assigned passive skill. Equip up to six different treasures, enhance their base attributes and reroll their passive skills to refine your build.

Raise spirit pets

Deploy up to five spirit pets at once to help face powerful enemies. Pets have five quality grades—Green, Blue, Purple, Orange and Red—with different attributes and numbers of skills. Each elemental type has its own strengths: Metal pets excel at physical attacks, while Fire pets specialize in fire spells. You can level up, advance and reroll pets as you develop them into companions for your journey.

Trade and other activities

Buy and sell materials and items at the auction house. Growing herbs, refining pills, defeating bosses and exploring secret realms all offer ways to earn Spirit Crystals. You can keep treasures that suit your build or sell rare equipment, artifacts and techniques to other players.

Beyond cultivation, you can chat and spar with other players, collect titles and outfits, compete in popularity, charm and other rankings, and take part in activities such as the Ancient Wilds.
