In the haze of history, the secret burial site of Temur, Yuan Chengzong, lies hidden deep beneath the Yin Mountains in the northern desert, like a mysterious and dangerous pearl waiting for someone destined to uncover its long-buried secrets.
Archaeologist Lin Mo, antique dealer Zhao Dachuan, and martial arts heir Yun Yi enter this mysterious unknown realm by chance. From discovering mysterious murals at the ruins of Dadu to deciphering a subterranean palace map written in the Phags-pa script, they follow the clues deep into underground rivers beneath Ordos. In the eerie, damp darkness, they fight to the death against mysterious mechanisms and unknown creatures.
They encounter strange stone beasts guarding a stone gate, with features combining the wolves of the Mongolian grasslands and the Pixiu of the Central Plains, both majestic and full of hidden secrets. They also endure countless hardships before a stone coffin, where shadows summoned by its obscure runes prove as elusive as ghosts. As their exploration deepens, they battle ghostly bat-wolves in a dark abyss and break the stone-soldier formations in the ruins of an ancient palace.
All of this is tied to the enormous secret behind Yuan Chengzong's hidden tomb. It is said that Yuan Chengzong built it to seal away an evil capable of destroying the world. As their adventure takes them deeper, the three must not only face danger from every direction, but also find a way to protect the world amid tangled historical mysteries and mysterious forces, and uncover the ultimate secret of Yuan Chengzong's secret burial site.
