Tomb Raiding: Cultivating Immortality Through Gu, Starting at Pingshan

Xu Nuo thought that transmigrating into a tomb-raiding world meant relying on his mastery of Gu, until he dug half of an insect race sacrificial stele out of the Xiangxi Corpse King. The inscription read: “All who cultivate the Dao through Gu are prey for our race.” From the rotting corpse in the Laoxiongling mortuary, he refines an “Insect-Attracting Incantation,” only to draw the whispers of the insect race: “This body will make a fine new nest.” As the Six-Winged Centipede sheds its skin, he forms a “Hundred-Legged Dragon Gu” and devours its essence, only to have insect blood injected into him. The left arm becomes covered in writhing patterns of chitin. Before the Corpse King’s coffin in the underground palace, he refines his minister Gu into a Corpse Ancestor clone, only to discover that the Corpse King has long been controlled by the insect race’s threads. The coffin holds a dormant egg from the insect race’s mother nest… When he cultivates himself into an immortal, ageless corpse in the tomb-raiding world, the insect race’s mother nest opens its compound eyes: “Host, sacrifice the Myriad Worlds to help me break the shackles of the Heavenly Dao.”
