addedNew GameplayAdded a new secret realm: Dao Inquiry Arena. It is a temporary dueling ground constructed by powerful cultivators, with a fixed location on the mountain beside Yunjian City. Upon obtaining the card [Sect Name] Sparring Invitation, you may challenge the corresponding elite cultivators at this arena. You may also come across temporarily built Dao Inquiry Arenas across the world, which are only accessible after reaching the Core Formation realm. (Developer's Note: We intend the Dao Inquiry Arena to be a challenging gameplay mode for players to put their accumulated strength to the test. We will continue to monitor player feedback and adjust balance values, skills and builds accordingly. Currently, 5 sects are implemented: Mystic Sword Pavilion, Pure Void Valley, Snow Hidden Sect, Martial Extreme Gate and Beast King Mansion, each featuring 6 to 7 distinct build templates for their elite cultivators. Elites from Purple Firmament Palace, Eclipse Moon Sect and rogue cultivators are still in development.)
