What is Idle Cultivation?
This single-player idle RPG uses a fantasy cultivation setting inspired by Chinese mythology. You absorb spiritual energy, advance through realms, battle enemies in locations and dungeons, gather materials, craft items, and level skills while pursuing immortality; reincarnation resets the journey for soul upgrades, and later progression includes managing a sect.
