Finding new manual from Auction, Manual Library of your Sect, markets, Region Bosses, etc. This progress will take a lot of time. Even you had learned a new skill, you need time to cultivate it and need comprehensive materials to comprehend it. There is no another way which you could shorten it.

Every step on Stairway to Heaven will consume your Vitality and Energy until you have both at 1 no matter how much HP and mana you have.

Every monsters within a room were cleared will add bonuses to your Breath of Soul. Bonus Stats were randomized, so you can not get a perfect Breath of Soul with all max bonus Stats.


It's only one breakthrough material and you surely know how hard to get it, cultivate maximum and breakthrough. Breakthrough Stats of this tier may vary. It depends on which Breath of Soul Formation you got. You will keep only one Divine Soul with you and consume all the remaining.

Good luck on the path of the Immortal.
We're waiting for the next update.
Update: official version released, this is current the last breakthrough you get.
Could you live up to thousands years? It's your choice.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Top of top priority: In order to gather a certain breakthrough material, you MUST go to its correct location and there is no place else to find it. It takes some times to get an item and it takes some times to make a right choice, right option which you want so that you don't have to be back track your save game.

- Before moving to a new Realm, if you had prepared well, it would help you a lot. Especially Sect war, Sect Tournament. Otherwise, you might be back track.

- 5 Spirit Fruit tiers which you could find them in 5 Realms and Transition Regions (Hostile region, area connects 2 Realms)
The fastest way is buying them from Treasure Pavilion of your Sect.

- Stairway Heaven, clear all rooms to get max bonuses possible. Key options of Mind Skills to farm Stairway Heaven without using too many potions.


- After first meet with Agar (Kuafu Giant), he doesn't move any further until you solve 3 legged Firebird quest in YongNing.

Alternative quest:
What happen if Agar died before reaching the Mountain? You have another option.

1. Go meet Sunny near the Nether Mountain after the story quest notice popped up. You will have the update quest.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


2. Talk to her and she will ask you go back where Agar was dead, and pick up "the tree". It's the staff of the fallen Giant.

- Tao dungeons: adjustments were effective inside Tao dungeons only. No need to reroll the best adjustments, it's just waste your time. When you exit your Tao dungeon, those bonuses will end. They won't apply to your breakthrough stats.
