The Grave Robbers' Chronicles: The Saga Beyond the Bronze Gate

Twenty years ago, the trio of Wu Xie, Zhang Qiling, and Wang Pangzi set out to uncover the ultimate truth. Shoulder to shoulder, they entered the Bronze Gate in Changbai Mountain, then vanished without a trace, becoming the most haunting legend in the world of tomb raiding.

Twenty years later, a letter with a faded postmark and familiar handwriting suddenly appears before Wu Sansheng. It was sent three days before the trio entered the Bronze Gate. Coded messages in the letter point to three clues: the Nine Abysses' Netherwater Burial City, the Yin-Yang Reflection Pagoda, and a cave of murals depicting the Zhang family genealogy.

The younger generation of the Wu, Xie, and Huo families, Wu Nian, Xie Mo, and Huo Mingyu, are forced to take up the heavy burden. They must retrace their ancestors' path and piece together the truth in three bizarre and extraordinary ancient tombs. What exactly is the “ultimate” that the Zhang family has guarded for a thousand years? What kind of being lies beyond the Bronze Gate? And are the ancestors they seek still alive, waiting for an answer?

Two storylines intertwine as twenty years collapse into one. The sacrificial whispers in the depths of the abyss, the memories reflected in the Mirror Pagoda, and the truth of the genealogy hidden in the bloodline cave are revealed one by one. Only then do the younger generation understand that they're searching for more than their missing ancestors. They're facing an ultimate choice that will determine whether civilization survives.

And deep in the ruins of the Bronze Gate, who is still waiting as that Morse code, tapped off and on for twenty years, continues to sound...?
