(WIP) Path of Martial Arts: The Beginning (Dark, Eastern Fantasy | 750k words)

I know all the indulgence in worldly pleasures kinda stagnated him but I find it hard to believe that there isn’t some transcendent purifying elixir that can’t allow him to reach shangtian.
Cause this is literally the equivalent of being a 5-8 yr old mortal frolicking and playing around buying sweets and not training and then saying they can’t enter early Houtian just cause they spent their early years chilling.
Of course their attributes shouldn’t be as strong as others but should at least be allowed to ascend considering the amount of years allowed to still advance

The further u go ,the gap is wider and the requirements are not the same.So if an élixir like that existed becoming Shangtian would be quite easy maybe who knows ,ShangMei will be able to create that.But yea Chao is a weird case maybe niki will make him advance but that’s extremely unlikely.And last but not least.HEAVENS ARE FUCKING PETTY.These mfs decide who advance especially AT S,so if they want to cockblock you they will.Dk if it what happened to Chao tho

if anyone can cockblock Chao then the heavens are the only one.

Can someone teach me how to see the code of this game? The usual /mygame/scenes does not work on this one apparently :eyes:

The script is already included in the .html file. The lines are just packed together in an array, you’ll need to do some search and replace in a text editor to improve the readability.

Ok, so another question, what app do you use to see it? Cause I do have a html app, but it crashes cause of the volume. (Using mobile btw)

I put the file in a plain text editor, Notepad++

Unfortunately i have no experience with a mobile, but trying to edit anything substantial on it is probably going to be a pain in the ass, sorry.

what do u replace to make it readable

With Notepad++ the simplest first step is to replace strings "," with "\n" to split the lines. You can then follow it with restoring tab codes, by replacing \\t with \t (make sure to enable Extended Search Mode in the requester)

This should get you the script that’s roughly readable, with separate lines and proper indentation to follow the if/else branches.

I really thought YB would have many more votes.

Quick question how does our current cultivation compare to the tainted one.
Scale wise I mean. Like what cultivation lv equals what on the old power scale?
Sorry if asked before, there’s usually to much going on I miss a good deal or don’t wish to spoil myself.

Tainted One?

Qi Condensation- Peak Houtian

Qi Sea- Xiantian

Core Formation- Shantian

Nascent soul- Too OP

Hmm… And our target is nascent soul… Slaughter half of the population because they hold the treasure we need and they refuse to give us or they’re just the supporter of our enemies

You would need to slaughter almost the entire population for Nascent soul.

Is the MC at Qi Condensation (Qi Gathering/Refining/Whatever) after the expedition? If so then they must be at the early stage of the realm, right? So an early-stage Qi Refining realm cultivator could go toe to toe with early to mid Houtians (Possibly even a Peak Houtian considering the MC would’ve murdered Long Chen if it wasn’t for his skill, though it did take all of the MC’s power and two other cultivators to do that and knocked the MC out so it’s basically a suicide attack.), a middle-stage could probably fight a late to peak Houtian. And because cultivators become more powerful between rebirths a late-stage Qi Refining might be equal to an early Xiantian, and a peak Qi Refining could match a mid Xiantian. If we have stages that is, maybe it is just simple:

Qi Gathering = Houtian
Foundation = Xiantian
Golden Core = Shangtian

But if we had stages then that would mean a single stage of true cultivation is equal to at least two stages of the tainted “cultivation” (Ah so Mr. Schiefer was referring to the people with Inner Energy.). Then an early-stage Foundation realm cultivator would demolish late to peak Xiantians, then because rebirth=stronger an early Shangtian is likely as strong as a middle-stage Foundation, a mid and late Shangtian as strong as late and peak-stage Foundation respectively, and the strongest Shangtians equivalent to early-stage Golden Core (Core Formation, Idek.) realm. The Shangtians likely can’t progress past Shangtian due to them being part of an impure and unenlightened race of monkeys who can’t comprehend the profoundness of the great Dao.

Everyone else. Since Tang Wei said the “purity” in MC’s blood is the taint.

Update 16 jan 2024
  • Size: 330k350k
  • New mission.
  • Five (six for premium) achievements added.
  • Character Dictionary for ROs is back (other characters still WIP)
  • Reworked Rock Gambling
  • You can now spend Qi to raise attributes beyond 500 cap after expedition.

NOTE: the new mission is a big one, but it’s also very ‘wide’/branchy. You will barely see 40-50% in one playthrough, so the update may feel quite short depending on your choices during/before the mission. If you don’t have a save near the end, I recommend waiting for the next one. Unless you don’t mind replaying, of course:sweat_smile:

Boosty version is updated as well, 371k
