On my twenty-third birthday, I followed my late relative's final instructions and returned to the ancestral home, abandoned for many years. When I opened the family heirloom box, an inscribed jade pendant revealed a secret the family had kept buried for a thousand years.
My ancestors were no ordinary people. They belonged to the world's only Tomb-Guarding Clan.
Fierce tombs dot the wilderness, ancient corpses lie sleeping underground, baleful forces fester, deadly mechanisms lurk, and the fraud of immortality stretches from antiquity to the present. People think tomb raiders search for treasure, but they don't know that every ancient tomb is a prison meant to contain evil.
A cursed grave in an abandoned village, a stacked building filled with ten thousand corpses, the Kunlun Ruins, a colossal coffin made of dragon bones... We venture deeper into danger at every turn. Those traveling with me conceal murderous intentions, companions turn on us one after another, and ancient corpses, sinister insects, blood curses, and illusions appear without end.
I gradually discover that all the ancient tombs in the world are not scattered in separate places. They all share a single origin. A thousand years ago, my ancestor laid a grand scheme, using bloodline as the lock and the soul as the seal to suppress the most yin disaster threatening heaven and earth.
Now the seal is weakening, and baleful forces are leaking out. Tomb-raiding sects, tomb-keeper clans, and evil cultivators seeking immortality are all drawn into the fray.
As the last heir of the Tomb-Guarding Clan, I have nowhere left to retreat.
If the coffin opens, all living things will be wiped out. If it stays shut, fate will bind me forever.
Every path ahead leads to certain death, and behind me stretch endless yin tombs. My only mission is to enter ten thousand tombs, subdue the deadly coffins, and expose a thousand-year-old deception.
