Gravekeeper’s Odd Job: Devour All Spirits and Crush the Nine Heavens

Chen Xuan was the lowliest gravedigger in the Ten Thousand Graves of Mount Qingming. Every day, he cleaned up decaying corpses and repaired tombstones, while his fellow disciples regarded him as an unlucky wretch. One day, while burying a mysterious female corpse, he accidentally activated the Myriad Spirits Devouring System: killing enemies let him devour their cultivation; properly laying the dead to rest let him absorb the treasures hidden in their bodies; and fulfilling the deceased's unfinished wishes allowed him to make use of their connections in life. With the System, Chen Xuan rose from the bottom. First, he devoured the outer sect disciples who had bullied him, greatly increasing his cultivation. Then he fulfilled a sword cultivator's dying wish to personally kill a traitor, earning the secret support of thirty Nascent Soul elders the cultivator had befriended in life. Later, he saved the peerless immortal Su Qingyao from pursuit and journeyed with her, offering as a betrothal gift treasures he had obtained by devouring her enemies. Meanwhile, Xiao Zhan, who had slaughtered Chen Xuan's entire family and disguised himself as a paragon of the righteous path, gathered nine great sects to hunt him down after realizing the threat he posed. Instead, Chen Xuan devoured the lifelong accumulation of his Mystic Firmament Divine Body and the thousand-year legacy of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion.

In the end, Chen Xuan attained the Dao through devouring and became the youngest Devouring Spirit Emperor of the Nine Heavens.
