Sage and Demon Cultivation

Sage and Demon are part of a character's Spiritual Cultivation. When a character has reached level 89, they have to choose which path to follow. They can choose to be elevated and let go of their worldly attachments or they can choose to follow their passion and desires. If you regret your choice, you can change your cultivation using the Celestial Schism. After obtaining Celestial status, players can learn new skill upgrades and they can continue towards the Chaotic Soul Cultivation.

Before Level 89 Cultivation
Prior to choosing whether to go sage or demon, you will first need to finish a series of quests. Once you have finished these quests, you will be able to make your choice.

If you wish to go down the sage path, take the "Be Elevated" quest from Master Li ● Sage Guide at (129, 836). If you wish to go down the demon path, take the "Sacrifice" quest from Mo Zun ○ Demon Guide at (129, 841). Once you have chosen one of these quests you cannot trash it if you change your mind, so choose carefully. It is possible to swap from sage to demon and vice versa using Celestial Schisms which can be purchased from the Boutique with gold, but you will need to complete the cultivation quests up until Celestial Sage/Celestial Demon in order to use it.

Quests
You will receive these quests after you reach your level 79 Aware of Vacuity cultivation, and take place before you must decide whether to go down the sage or demon path. You will need to level to 88 before you can begin these quests. There are several quest chains that can help you level up to 88: Wings of Flight at level 80, Sirry Wine Camp Defense at level 81, Border Defender at level 82, Immolat. Camp Disaster at level 83, South Barrier Vill. Disorder and Four Missing Nations at level 85, and Thous. Streams Extricat. at level 87.
