The Blockade

The Blockade follows Qin Xiao as he pursues cultivation in a world where the path to immortality has been disrupted. The story begins after a war between gods and demons changes the laws of heaven. A premature thunderclap kills a generation of promising cultivators, and for decades no one breaks through the Qi Refining realm. Ten thousand years later, Qin Xiao leaves Peach Blossom Village against his parents’ wishes to begin his own journey.

Qin Xiao’s journey

With his talent, Qin Xiao enters a cultivation sect, but powerful opponents stand in his way as his abilities grow. The fall of the Peach Blossom Fairy, the disappearance of Jumang and the destruction of a great array leave the path ahead increasingly unclear.

In the Empress’s city, Qin Xiao encounters a nine-tailed monster imprisoned in the Demon Locking Tower for ten thousand years. Though beautiful, she is ruthless and has killed many cultivators. After a difficult battle, Qin Xiao defeats her, but the encounter reveals only a small part of the truth. Questions remain about the war between gods and demons, the sudden change in the laws of heaven, the unexplained fall of the high god Qin Tian and the Heavenly Seal that cut off the path to godhood.

Explore the world

You travel freely across large maps, uncovering new regions and environments. These include Peach Blossom Forest, lava beneath a volcanic crust, the cliffs of Luwu and the dense forest of Jia Chao. Each environment has its own weather, and you can interact with the landscape to gather rare herbs, mine valuable ores and discover traps or hidden entrances.

Tombs and combat

Entrances to the legendary Tombs of the Gods and Demons are scattered across the maps. Finding an entrance is only the first step: you must defeat the tomb’s owner to earn rare rewards and learn more about the world’s story.

The skill system has five groups based on Reiki attributes: gold, wood, water, fire and earth. Each group has an exclusive weapon, while thunder, wind and ice provide additional auxiliary skills. You can combine skills to shape a combat style to your preferences.

Skills and crafting

Separate from the combat skill system, the craft system lets you learn skills such as drawing, alchemy and casting. These skills can help you in battle, and you can choose which ones to master when developing your character.
