Yeah, I've been focusing on life nourishing cultivation since I have Temper the Meridian Paths to over 200, and I definitely have all the inheritances, but I have no idea what to do with them
Can't remember exactly what I did but in my game the next big event happened 3 lives after the Upper Gates Close, also to progress you'll have to get 2 Qi in one lifetime, if that gives you a goal to reach (I just checked I stopped Temper the Meridian Paths at 385)
Yep I ended up getting the first beast tide 5 lives after The Upper Gates Close. I guess I should have waited a bit longer before commenting. Thanks for the tip on what to do next!
