Lu Yuanchen is widely known in the cultivation world as a coward.
A Ten Thousand Sword Graveyard dwells inside him. If he goes seven days without feeding it baleful energy, it devours his cultivation. Once his cultivation is gone, it starts eating away at his lifespan.
While others avoid dangerous places like the plague, he searches the whole map for them, a living, walking radar.
With every sign-in, the Sword Graveyard leaves another layer of its "treasure here" aura on him.
The Sword-Nurturing Clan followed his scent across three rivers, the Buddhist Temple of Baleful Energy Suppression fought tooth and nail to seize his dangerous spots, and the Demon Sect's ancestor watched him with greedy eyes.
The more dangerous the place, the better the rewards.
A sign-in at an ancient battlefield yielded a fragment of a Sword Immortal's legacy.
A sign-in at the underground palace beneath an execution ground netted him the trump card of an old monster sealed away for ten thousand years.
On the final day of the Sword Graveyard's countdown, the only dangerous place worthy of the name was the Burial Sword Abyss, where the Demon Sect was holding its grand sacrifice.
He sneaked onto the altar, deliberately let his aura slip, and set ten thousand swords ringing as the Sword Demon broke free and the Demon Sect fell into chaos.
Amid a sky full of flames, he calmly completed his sign-in, stole the Sword Demon's weapon, then turned back and gave them a "thanks for the sacrifice" gesture.
Deep within the Sword Graveyard, the being that had destroyed the ancient civilization of the sword opened its eyes.
