The Ruins of Return: Tomb Raiders’ Records

Grave robber Chen Mo and his companions, Wang Pangzi and the archaeologist Su Qing, follow clues to immortality left behind in the Xuanzhen Tomb on Mount Mang and the Tomb of Prince Su in the East China Sea. Their search leads them to an ancient alchemical tradition and the truth behind Chen Mo’s father’s disappearance. The group ventures into the Xisha Earth-Lung Tomb to unravel the mysteries of Xu Fu’s alchemical palace, enters Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s mausoleum on Mount Li to witness the emperor’s soul return to the ruins, and ultimately journeys deep into the Kunlun Mountains to the Immortal Estate of Guixu. Strange beasts from the Classic of Mountains and Seas, including Zheng, Bifang, and Xiangliu, guard the secret realm at every turn. Tensions simmer among the tribes protecting Guixu, while the ten-thousand-year-old secrets of an evil heart from beyond the heavens gradually come to light. After a life-and-death struggle, the group joins forces to banish the evil entity and put an end to the threat. They also uncover the truth behind the fall of the ancient cultivation civilization, setting out on a new journey into the secret realms beneath the land of Huaxia.
