Zhuge Xingyun opens his eyes to find that he has transmigrated into a tomb-raiding world full of dangers. The "Treasure-Digging System of the Myriad Heavens" bound to him is his only means of getting out of trouble.
His initial missions target the tombs of famous figures from Chinese history. He ventures into a suspicious Warring States tomb to decipher silk manuscripts, explores Emperor Wu of Han's Maoling Mausoleum while evading traps, and enters Emperor Taizong of Tang's Zhaoling Mausoleum in search of a hidden artifact. He claws his way through life-and-death situations, trading tomb treasures for power and transforming from a rookie tomb raider into a master who can read dragon veins and identify burial sites.
After he has explored every ancient tomb in this world, the System's domain suddenly expands. He enters a world of immortals and cultivators, digging into divine tombs to seize immortal roots and prolong his life; invades a fantasy realm and robs ancient divine mausoleums to obtain heaven-defying artifacts; and finally knocks on the gates of the Primordial World, facing Pangu's lost tomb and the secret realm of the Three Pure Ones as he vies for the highest cosmic treasures in the land where the gods sleep.
From mortal tombs to divine mausoleums throughout the myriad heavens, Zhuge Xingyun uses his shovel as a sword and the System as a shield, carving out his own path to enlightenment through tomb raiding as he makes his way through countless perilous places. In the end, he reaches the pinnacle of life and looks down upon the myriad worlds.
