The Lone Lord of the Dragon Vein

In the heartland of Zhongzhou, a hidden dragon vein lies beneath the earth, its spiritual energy coursing like a dragon. A touch can bring one to transcendence, immortality, and eternal life. But the dragon vein has guardians: secluded clans who call themselves the “Dragon Descendants,” bound by a blood covenant to keep watch over the abyss for a thousand years. Three hundred years ago, the eight clans of Zhongzhou, Qi, Wang, Huang, Dugu, Zhuge, Xuanyuan, Li, and Zheng, jointly named the Xuanyuan clan “Sovereign of the Dragon Vein,” entrusting them with the covenant and the abyss. Three hundred years later, Xuanyuan Ling is frail as a dying candle, yet the only one who knows the secrets of the dragon vein. The other seven clans stir in the shadows, each with their own schemes: venomous spiders, sword formations, the netherworld, divination of heaven’s secrets... All covet immortality and plot to kill Xuanyuan.
