Grave Robber Evil Lord: I Beat an Emperor with a Brick

[Classic fantasy, slow burn, cunning protagonist, comedy, sly schemer, romance, face-slapping] Other people cultivate immortality with spiritual roots; he does it by digging up graves. Geniuses wield swords to pierce the void; he wears a tomb-raiding talisman and digs through dragon veins. Fairies play the zither to summon birds; he grabs a kitchen knife, bangs it on a brick, and sings “Grand Bridal Sedan.” Cornered by a Sage, Gu Tian hurls his brick in fury: “So what if I dug up the grave of your family's ancestors going back eighteen generations?” Who knew the black brick would swell in the wind and smash apart nine layers of tribulation clouds? Good heavens, that's no ordinary brick! It's a Primordial Treasure used by some War Immortal to build an outhouse before ascending! From then on, the cultivation world gains a brick-carrying sly schemer who specializes in wholesale imperial coffins and moonlights as a feng shui consultant for sacred sects. “Hold on, fellow cultivator. That's not auspicious smoke rising from your ancestral grave, it's bad luck!”
