The Nine Gates Mysteries: The Immortality Tribulation

My grandfather died a gruesome death in his study, his soul locked in a sinister state. Strange black patterns crawled all over him, and his corpse sat upright in a chair, cold as jade. Before he died, he left a final letter, every word an uncompromising warning: Never go into tomb raiding. Never set foot in the corpse-raising grounds of western Hunan. Never touch a single part of the Shen family's ancestral estate!

Young Shen Changsheng is the last heir to the Shen family's forbidden Yin-Yang bloodline. Born with the Eye of Sin, he can discern evil spirits; wielding the family's ancestral Yin-Seeking Claw, he can break deadly traps; and with the Taotie Bronze Token, he can locate dragon veins and choose burial sites. Blood corpses run rampant through the corpse-raising grounds of western Hunan. The entire town of Luoxia is wiped out overnight. Ghostly wails echo beneath the canals of Tianjin. In the Gobi Desert, corpse puppets pursue their prey to the death. Across the Nine Provinces, sinister tombs conceal strange tales from antiquity. Traitors within the Nine Gates plot in secret, hoping to excavate the tombs and seize their warding relics, shatter ancient seals, and unleash Yin fiends to wreak havoc on the world.

His grandfather's death is only the beginning of this conspiracy. Defying his grandfather's dying wish, Shen Changsheng ventures across the Nine Provinces into haunted, deadly lands. He roots out the traitors within the Nine Gates and, as the Shen family's guardian of the bloodline, seals ten thousand fiends and protects the people. He will break the curse of immortality that has haunted the Shen family for generations and avenge his grandfather's murder!
