- 1 Tomb Raiding: I, Chen Yulou, Seek Only Immortality 盗墓:我,陈玉楼,一心修仙 A body clad in golden-threaded jade that never decays, seven stars to extend one’s life by stealing from Heaven. Bones dug from tombs are refined into golden elixirs, while vermin in the city and community feed on offerings of incense.

How could Chen Yulou still care about being the leader of the bandits? The tomb-raiding world is full of opportunit 0Votes39.4kRecs334.6kFans

And I was once the Son of Heaven! I inherited the legacy of six generations and carried forward the late emperor’s ambitions. I punished the western rebels and put the old faction in its place.
