About 鬼谷八荒 Tale of Immortal
Tale of Immortal is an open‑world sandbox set in Chinese mythology where players begin as a novice cultivator in the Qi Refining stage and strive toward immortality. The world is populated by independent NPCs with their own lives, and every decision reshapes the personal narrative and the broader destiny of sects and realms.
Beyond personal growth, the game offers sect management, weapon‑based cultivation paths, and a variety of random events, tournaments, and treasure hunts. Players can cooperate, compete, or betray, shaping a story that reflects their choices and the ever‑changing world around them.
01 / THE GUIDE
Cultivation Paths
Players start at the Qi Refining stage and advance by breaking through cultivation barriers, eventually reaching Tian Yuan Mountain for ultimate enlightenment. Advancement unlocks new manuals, spiritual roots, and martial or spiritual skills.
Three starter weapons define distinct cultivation systems: Bagua Jade (self‑revival), Eye of Providence (steal Beast Skills), and Mythical Gourd (capture a boss as a sidekick). Each path influences how players develop power and interact with the world.
- Experiment with each starter weapon early to discover which cultivation style fits your playstyle.
- Focus on mastering one Spiritual Root before branching to others for smoother progression.
02 / THE GUIDE
Sect Management
The game features a full sect hierarchy—from Disciple to Elder to Sect Leader—each with unique responsibilities. Disciples complete missions and tournaments, Elders teach and assign tasks, while Leaders plan attacks, defend resources, and can conquer rival sects.
Conquering other sects grants exclusive "Rewrite Destiny" manuals, allowing players to further shape the world’s fate and expand their influence.
- Prioritize resource‑rich locations like Spirit Mines when planning sect expansion.
- Balance teaching duties with combat preparation to keep your sect strong.

03 / THE GUIDE
NPC Interaction
Every NPC lives an independent life with friends, family, and personal trajectories, unaffected by the player unless intervened. Players may choose to help, ignore, or antagonize them, influencing story outcomes and side events.
Random events and side tasks arise from these interactions, ranging from frustrating setbacks to powerful boosts, ensuring each playthrough feels unique.
- Observe NPC routines before intervening to anticipate possible consequences.
- Engage with NPCs offering quests early to unlock hidden treasures.
04 / THE GUIDE
Tournaments & Rankings
Players can test their strength in the Immortal Tournament and Master Rankings, competing against hundreds of monsters, cultivators, ghosts, and demons. Success in these events yields prestige and valuable resources.
Breaking through barriers such as the Nether Mountains serves as a benchmark for skill, while tournament victories can accelerate sect growth and personal reputation.
- Upgrade your weapon’s unique abilities before entering tournaments for a competitive edge.
- Study opponent patterns during early rounds to adapt your strategy.
05 / THE GUIDE
Crafting & Artifacts
Alchemy, talismans, geomancy, and Feng Shui allow players to craft items that aid exploration and combat. Refined artifacts can summon Artifact Spirits, which provide companionship and trigger exclusive adventures.
These crafted tools also enable players to confuse enemies, enhance combat effectiveness, and uncover hidden treasures throughout the world.
- Collect rare materials during exploration to unlock higher‑tier artifact recipes.
- Summon Artifact Spirits early to benefit from their unique adventure triggers.
