The Immortal Sect Explores an Ancient Forbidden Zone, and I Live There

[Fantasy premise + immortality + archaeological excavations of immortal sects + identity reversal + lightheartedly invincible]

The immortal sects joined forces to excavate Ancient Forbidden Zone A-0, said to seal an unparalleled demon ancestor capable of destroying an entire era.

The day the formation-breaking drill punched through the courtyard wall, a hand reached out from the darkness and brought the entire formation to a halt.

Chen Jianhui stood behind the door, bleary-eyed, looking at the courtyard full of archaeological cultivators. He was silent for a long time.

"You're here to excavate. Why are you tearing down my house?"

From that day on, the history of the cultivation world started to seem a little off.

The Heaven-Swallowing Sacred Vat, worshipped by the immortal sects for ten thousand years, was the crock he used to pickle radishes.

The world-destroying weapon revered by countless sword cultivators was the kitchen knife he'd used for twenty years.

The ancient Daoist scriptures that the great sects fought to the death over were merely the introductory notes he'd written for his apprentices.

Even more absurdly, the official history said Chen Jianhui had died ten thousand years ago and branded him the forbidden demon ancestor who had personally destroyed antiquity.

To reclaim his old belongings and find out who had erased his name, Chen Jianhui pinned on a badge that read "Temporary Ruins Worker" and joined the excavation team.

But as one relic after another awakened, he gradually realized...

Perhaps it wasn't just his home that later generations had excavated by mistake.

An entire era had also been erased from history.
