Tomb Raiding from the Start? No! I’m a Tomb Guardian

When the seals of the ancient Nine Tripods crumble, the world's dragon veins run wild, and five enemies at the pinnacle of humanity bare their fangs at once, 28-year-old archaeology professor Chen Guanlan, a descendant of the Yellow Emperor's tomb guardians, is forced to end his secluded life. He leads his tomb-raiding uncle-master, a young hacker, and a retired soldier across forbidden sites throughout China, from the Kunlun Imperial Palace to the South Sea Guixu and Genghis Khan's secret mausoleum. There they face off against an Japanese sect leader versed in sinister feng shui arts, multinational capital wielding advanced technology, and the "Guixu" organization founded by renegade tomb guardians. He must recalibrate history amid temporal turbulence before the dragon vein's energy can be weaponized, and hold fast to his principles in the face of the temptation of immortality. This is no expedition. It is a war. When the final battle arrives, he must use his life as the catalyst for a ritual capable of turning the universe upside down. And all of this is only the beginning of the legend of the Tenth Tripod, beyond the stars.
