The Chaos Qilin Art

[Traditional Fantasy] + [Beast Taming] + [Leveling Up]

In this world known as the “Nine Heavens Prison,” spiritual roots determine everything. One’s birth and status, the resources one can access, even one’s fate and future, are all decided by the spiritual roots one is born with. Those with useless spiritual roots are dust for all eternity.

Lin Fan is one such speck of dust.

After his family is wiped out and he is found to possess a “useless spiritual root,” a rarity among ten thousand, he endures the contempt and humiliation of the world, struggling to survive at the very bottom of the cultivation world. Then, in a filthy corner of the black market, he trades his last hope for a young beast on the verge of death.

He has no idea that this chance act of kindness will be the beginning of his defiance of fate. The young beast he names “Xiao Hei” is in fact a Chaos Qilin, born from the origin of the world as a means of saving itself. To grow, it must devour vast quantities of demon crystals and beast cores; its power is enough to shake the dead rules governing this world.

From then on, the man and beast depend on each other as they embark on a journey to seek the Way against the will of Heaven.

From the nerve-racking struggle at the bottom of a sect to the grand battlefield of a clash between races; from the searing pain of a dear friend’s betrayal to the sacred pact of sharing one’s fate to save a master.

Lin Fan follows the Way of “the mortal world,” protecting the warmth of everyday life amid hardship and discovering his true self in the ordinary. He will prove to the Nine Heavens:

Spiritual roots are no chains; the heart is the ladder that reaches Heaven. I am the mortal world, and the mortal world is me.
