[Heavenly Gate]

This story: The first part, three volumes in total.

Synopsis: The mysteries of the Imperial Jade Seal, the Sanxingdui civilization, and the Chu Silk Manuscript all trace back to ancient times. Among the three realms, the gods held supreme authority and could do as they pleased. A celestial book became the leverage that could shake their power, but it fell into the hands of the opposition. When Zhurong and Gonggong fought, they tore a hole in the heavens, and the celestial book was lost in the mortal world. Little did anyone know it concealed a world-shaking secret. Dian Ye, heir to the lineage of the General of the Mound-Raising Army, was determined to pass down his craft and restore its former glory. He ventured into danger alone, mistakenly entering a feng shui formation called Three Stars Worshipping the Moon, but ultimately escaped unharmed. After chancing upon a sacred stone from a civilization beyond the Three Realms, he founded the Tianque Sect to unravel the great mystery. Rumor had it that the Tianque Sect consisted of just five people, each from one of five mysterious families, making them an elite team unlike any other. Over a thousand years of development and change, the Tianque Sect became the leader of the Southern School of tomb raiders. During the warlord era, robbing ancient tombs and amassing fortunes from the dead was commonplace. The Tianque Sect, too, became a tool for warlords to enrich themselves. It caught the eye of the powerful warlord Wu Tangying, who forced the sect to help him rob an imperial mausoleum. Marshal Wu was renowned for his ruthlessness. After plundering tombs for personal gain, he killed anyone who could expose him, and the Tianque Sect vanished without a trace. A century later, beneath the city walls of Xijing, Jin Ming, a down-and-out man in his forties, unexpectedly crossed paths with business tycoon Mu Yuntian, and the mysterious veil surrounding the Tianque Sect was lifted once more. A stone, a handkerchief, a treasured sword, and an earthen mound: it turned out that everything was intricately connected to an emperor of unusual identity.
