6 itemsAbout the Game
You don't need to open a vast full-screen world or constantly monitor complex operations. Just keep a small combat bar permanently on your desktop, and watch your cultivator automatically defeat monsters, drop gear, cultivate, and breakthrough during your work, study, or even idle moments.
The game centers around "auto-battle, equipment drops, skill combinations, and cultivation progression." From a fledgling spirit creature in the Qinghe Plains to the Purple Bamboo Forest, Crimson Flame Snake Valley, Frosty Mist Marsh, Thunderous Barren Hills, and onward to the Ancient Battlefield of Youming, the Azure Sea Dragon Abyss, Starfall Desert, and the Heavenly Demon Rift—you will gradually grow within a condensed cultivation world contained within a small desktop window.
Defeating monsters yields equipment, materials, and rare treasures. Equipment includes weapons, helmets, chestplates, gloves, pants, shoes, and magical artifacts, ranging from ordinary iron weapons to primordial treasures—each drop could be the key to your next breakthrough.
You can study various cultivation styles such as physical cultivation, sword cultivation, and magical cultivation, combining skill paths like Iron Bone Punch, Light-Drawn Flying Sword, and Five Elements Magic to create your own unique character build in fully automated combat.
As cultivation progresses, the character will advance from the Qi Refining stage through Foundation Building, Golden Core, Yuan Ying, Deification, Void Refining, Body Merging, Great Vehicle, and Rebirth, ultimately reaching the realm of True Immortality.
In sect halls, markets, caves, scripture libraries, bounty boards, and secret realm entrances, you'll encounter unique NPCs eager to assist: a cultivation mentor sister who teaches techniques, a pill vendor who recycles materials, a breakthrough guardian who supports your cultivation breakthroughs, and a hall elder who oversees scriptures and skill unlocks.
Whether you just want it quietly sitting in a corner of your desktop or occasionally open the management interface to carefully select gear, adjust skills, and push forward to higher levels, *Stealth Cultivation* aims to condense the joy of watching your character grow stronger into a lightweight, unobtrusive window that still delivers a satisfying sense of progression.
