Wei Wuxian is reborn and discovers that Ghost Cultivation and tomb cultivation share the same origins. When the Hundred-Coffin Mound stirs, resentful spirits lead the way, and corpse qi eats away at his body, he is forced into a storm of grave robbing. Jin Guangyao schemes in secret, Nie Huaisang manipulates puppets, and Wen Ruohan’s remnant soul is about to awaken. Lan Wangji protects him with his sword as they break formations, seal corpses, and join forces to uncover the truth behind the ancient tombs. Wherever Chenqing sounds, ghost soldiers clear the way. With corpse refining, seven-star soul-locking arrays, and a clash over the dark secrets of the cultivation world, a deadly contest begins.
Reborn, Wei Wuxian discovers that Ghost Cultivation is naturally aligned with tomb cultivation. The Hundred-Coffin Mound is stirring more and more often, resentful spirits are everywhere, and corpse qi surges into the sky. He is forced into a grave-robbing storm that spans the entire cultivation world. Blood-written words appear in an ancient Wen family tomb, the Nie family conceals a corpse-refining formation, and Jin Guangyao’s ambition is laid bare. At a crucial moment, Wei Wuxian awakens the power to commune with the divine through bones: touch a coffin to see its memories, touch a corpse to gain its cultivation, and watch bone patterns emerge in his palm. His only way to break the deadlock is to borrow a corpse and return to life! Amid seven-star soul-locking arrays, vicious corpse puppets, and deadly traps at every turn, he plays Chenqing, summons ghost soldiers, unleashes corpse poison, and fights his way out of the bizarre tomb maze alongside Lan Wangji. The truth is revealed: tomb cultivation originated with an ancient shamanic tribe, and Wei Wuxian is the only one who can commune with the divine! He establishes the Bureau of Bizarre Affairs to tackle every kind of ancient-tomb mystery. This time, he won't be anyone's scapegoat. He'll be the undisputed king of grave robbing!
