Traces of a Chaotic Soul

The one-of-a-kind Tanli Flower quietly blooms in the Land of Lingli. What kind of life will the awakening of his mixed-soul bloodline bring him? Is this generation’s resilient king righteous or wicked? How many traces of his own will the blood-red Tanli Flower leave across the continent of Posia?

Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon, and Glaze mark the different ranks of mixed-soul cultivators. Of the six branches of mixed-soul bloodlines, Ghost, Music, Beast, Artifact, Element, and Plant, who will reach the summit?

The cool elegance of amethyst, the allure of ruby, the hardness of diamond, the September birthstone, sapphire, and the gentle emerald: every mixed-soul cultivator has a gemstone that is uniquely theirs. Their jewels’ brilliance is the foundation of their radiance across the continent of Posia.

Mixed-soul cultivators have seven souls and seven spirits. In addition to the original three souls and seven spirits, they have four more souls: the mixed souls. These do not belong to the person’s original soul. They are the Ghost Soul, Music Soul, Beast Soul, Artifact Soul, and so on. By condensing soul threads, they bring the four additional souls scattered throughout their bodies together with their original souls and spirits. At each new stage, they must unite with another soul before they can continue cultivating.

Every mixed-soul cultivator has a different Weakness Heart, a weapon and skill granted by their talent. Sometimes it conflicts with their mixed-soul bloodline; sometimes it belongs to the same category as one of their four additional souls. With each feather rank gained, using the Weakness Heart causes a feather to appear embroidered on the soul crown above their head. The design varies according to their bloodline.

The ranking system: There are 100 levels, divided into five major realms: Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon, and Glaze. Each realm has three feather ranks, except the Glaze Realm, which has four.

In the first four realms, each feather rank covers 5 levels. In the Glaze Realm, each feather rank covers 10 levels.

Requirements for leveling up: soul threads must grow and fuse. Each soul thread starts at 50 centimeters.

Levels 1–15: soul threads grow by 10 centimeters

Levels 16–30: soul threads grow by 20 centimeters

Levels 31–45: soul threads grow by 40 centimeters

Levels 46–60: soul threads grow by 60 centimeters

Levels 61–70: soul threads grow by 70 centimeters

Levels 71–80: soul threads grow by 80 centimeters

Levels 81–90: soul threads grow by 90 centimeters

Levels 91–100: each level adds one meter

For example, at level 91, a soul thread is 20 meters long. At level 92, it grows by one meter to 21 meters; at level 93, it grows by two meters to 23 meters.
