Reincarnation
Reincarnation (轮回) is a second ending, standing alongside the Ascension Capstone rather than replacing it. /reincarnate lets a cultivator at Nascent Soul or beyond give up their current realm early, dropping three realms — floored at Body Refinement, never wiped out — in exchange for a permanent bloodline grant.
Unlike Ascension, no vein quality is required, and max level is never a requirement.
Requirements
| Requirement | Value |
|---|---|
| Minimum realm | Nascent Soul or beyond |
| Chunk Qi | none — reincarnation needs no vein quality at all |
| Not on cooldown | see Failing |
Reincarnation's ritual starts the moment you sit down — with none of Ascension's dragon-vein requirement.
What survives, and what resets
The ritual mirrors Ascension's own shape: a timed sit, periodic crimson tribulation strikes, and walking away costs a stage and a cooldown.
| Kept | Reset |
|---|---|
| Techniques and their mastery | Realm — dropped three, floored at Body Refinement |
| Skill tree and spent points | Stage |
| Dao | Banked Qi |
| Sect membership | (and the trackers sized against them, e.g. Qi Purity) |
| Equipment | |
| Titles |
This is exactly the same preserved set the Ascension prestige loop already promises — only the shape of the reset differs (three realms dropped rather than a full reset to Body Refinement).
The Bloodline Grant
A successful Reincarnation banks bloodline points, permanently.
The points don't just sit on your own account — every cultivator you share a confirmed Dao Inheritance bond with shares in a standing Qi-gain bonus scaled off the combined pool:
| Bond | Shares automatically? |
|---|---|
| A Master-Disciple bond | Yes, unconditionally |
| A Legacy heir edge | Only once both sides consent — see Dao Inheritance |
| Value | |
|---|---|
| Bloodline Qi-gain bonus cap | 30% |
A solo reincarnator with no confirmed bonds yet still earns their own bonus off their own points — the web amplifies the bonus, it does not gate it.
The ritual's bonus composes multiplicatively with Ascension's own standing bonus and every other source, never simply added on top.
Failing
Walking away from an attempt — standing up, drifting off your mark, or dying to the lightning — costs a stage and a cooldown, the same shape a failed Ascension attempt costs. If reincarnation is disabled mid-ritual, the attempt ends without penalty.
Status
/reincarnate status reports your own standing:
- Reincarnations completed.
- Banked bloodline points.
- Your current Qi-gain bonus.

Reincarnation is independent of, and fully compatible with, the Ascension Capstone — a cultivator may pursue both. Neither one gates the other.
Tuning
Every value on this page lives in BreakthroughConfig.json, beside the Ascension tuning it borrows its ritual shape from.
