The heavens call. Will you answer?
Ascend from Nine Mountains throws you into a world where the impossible becomes inevitable. Where mortals shatter their limits and the heavens tremble before those bold enough to seize their own fate. Experience your metamorphosis from dust to divinity.

Begin as a mortal. Ascend through nine realms of power, each more profound than the last.
Feel your meridians burn as celestial energy floods through them for the first time. Watch reality bend as you form your spiritual core. From opening your first meridian to commanding the very forces of creation, every breakthrough transforms both body and soul in ways you never imagined possible.
Your choices shape your destiny. The cultivation path you follow determines which ancient techniques respond to your call, which legendary treasures deem you worthy, and ultimately, which form of immortality lies within your grasp. Some cultivators fall at their first tribulation. Others stagnate for centuries. But you? You'll face threats that could annihilate mountains and emerge even stronger.
How far will you climb?

Combat is poetry written in blood and lightning.
Turn-based battles become tactical puzzles where every decision matters. Switch stances to adapt your strategy. Chain techniques into devastating combos. Each of the six schools offers a completely different approach to combat, with unique mechanics and playstyles that reward mastery.
Fist School: Your body becomes the ultimate weapon. Every punch cracks reality
Weapon School: Steel sings with spiritual power in your hands
Cloud School: Command storms that heroes of old could only dream of
Celestial School: Balance light and shadow, creation and destruction
Blossom School: Beauty and death intertwined in nature's most elegant fury
Blood School: Embrace corruption, and the unstoppable power that comes with it
Mix and match techniques from different schools, or discover new and hidden styles. Forge synergies that elevate each strike high above the last. Create a fighting style that's uniquely yours.

Crafting is an art form where risk and reward dance on a knife's edge.
Every session challenges you to balance stability against ambition. Push for that perfect quality result, but reach too far and watch your creation crumble to dust. Each crafting technique you master opens new possibilities, and combining them in unexpected ways can yield miraculous results.
Forge weapons that thirst for battle. Brew pills that raise your strength to unassailable heights. Inscribe talismans that bend the laws of nature. Your creations become extensions of your cultivation path, each one potentially the key to your next breakthrough.
The difference between a master craftsman and a mere artisan? Knowing when to play it safe, and when to risk everything for perfection.

The world of the Nine Mountains lives and breathes around you.
Explore ancient sect fortresses carved into mountain peaks. Trade in bustling cultivation cities where pills and treasures change hands for astronomical sums. Delve into ruins where demonic beasts guard treasures from forgotten ages. Each location offers unique opportunities, resources, and challenges that evolve with the passing seasons.
Time matters here. Yearly festivals celebrate new beginnings with cultivation tournaments after overcoming the beast tides that test every cultivator's mettle. Autumn auctions see legendary items sold to the highest bidder. Every season brings new challenges that separate the weak from the strong.
Join the Nine Mountain sect and rise through its ranks. Build relationships with merchants, scholars, and warriors. Make enemies of rival cultivators who covet your treasures. This world doesn't pause for anyone. Opportunities come and go, and timing can mean the difference between glory and obscurity.

In the world of cultivation, relationships hold power beyond measure.
Form sworn brotherhoods with fellow cultivators and share breakthrough insights. Romance companions whose presence strengthens your dao heart. Find a cultivation partner whose techniques complement yours perfectly, unlocking abilities neither could achieve alone.
Choose your allies carefully. In this world, the bonds you forge are as important as the power you cultivate.

Step onto the path of cultivation. Master ancient techniques, forge legendary treasures, and build lasting bonds as you climb from mortality to divinity.
Ascend from Nine Mountains awaits. Your journey to immortality begins now.
Changes
Damage sources are also displayed in combat results.
[/*]Started to lay the groundwork for translation support. This means that most of the text in the game has been modified, so please flag any visual issues you encounter.
[/*]Dark mode is now the default ui theme. You can still switch to light mode (if you want) from the settings.
[/*]Uncommon stats (ones not on the character page) now get a tooltip when used by a buff explaining them.
[/*]Technique tooltips now only take into account the source entity stats when showing damage. This means they ignore the defense/reduction of the enemy. This should make it easier to judge how much damage you will take to barrier.
[/*]Reworked save loading to be more optimal. This will take a 1 time hit on first load of the game, but from then on loading saves (and seeing the save history) should be fast.
[/*]Reworked the text of delivery quests to make it obvious it\'s 2 of EITHER item, not 2 of the first or 1 of the second.
[/*]Adding a new stance auto-assigns a stance rule, adding it to the cycle.
[/*]The combat log has been massively optimised, making combat faster (especially long combats) and removing the long wait when opening the log.
[/*]Forgelord just got a LOT harder.
[/*]
Balance Changes
Added a new stat \'protection\'. This reduces damage taken to hp, and translates into damage reduction with diminishing returns identical to barrier effectiveness. Changed all defense buffs to instead be protection.
[/*]Defense reduction now scales off the realm of the entity, not their hp. This means that hp buffs no longer reduce your damage reduction.
[/*]Modified the combat balancing to correct a bug. I \'think\' this should leave it roughly the same difficulty as before, but please do flag any issues (mainly enemies too strong/too weak) you encounter.
[/*]Buffed advancing fist slightly.
[/*]Nerfed Reactive Stance.
[/*]
Bug Fixes
Fixed many typos.
[/*]Forcibly fix enemy hp if it becomes NaN for any reason.
[/*]Fixed Slipstream, Crackling Shield, and Suppressing Gale masteries.
[/*]Fixed shard duplication exploit in pillar.
[/*]Fixed references to qither in observatory introduction quest.
[/*]Fixed direction in the Eyes Upon The Heavens quest to correctly say east not west.
[/*]Fixed talisman enchants power buffs to be consistent across school specific buffs.
[/*]Fixed Tidao Feng line being attributed to the First Elder.
[/*]Fixed MO masteries not self-stacking.
[/*]Fixed adding a custom image resetting the player image to the default.
[/*]Fixed Reinforcement Orb not giving weapon boost.
[/*]Fixed confusing auction consumables being called \'formation\' to instead be \'array\' to ensure they aren\'t confused with formation parts.
[/*]
ModAPI
Added a new \'techniqueAmplifierEffects\' field to buffs that allows directly modifying outgoing damage/barrier/healing.
[/*]Added a new \'buffAmplifierEffects\' field to buffs that allows modifying whole stacks of buffs received (instead of 1 by 1 with interceptor).
[/*]Added a new \'barrier bleed\' stat that makes damage bleed through barrier.
[/*]
