Wang Wei looked at the ancient book in his hand with excitement. In fact, he had already read the entire [Ancient Desolate Bodyrefining Scripture], but the one in his hand was actually the original copy.

Wang Wei placed his hand on top of the scripture, injecting his origin qi inside it. Then, the divine runes inscribed on it lit up.

All of the sudden, Wang Wei found himself in an empty room. The entire room was gold in color and a middle aged man was sitting cross-legged on a mat a few meters from him. Upon closer look, Wang Wei discovered that this middle-age man somewhat resembled him.

Wang Wei felt a powerful breath from the man. From a distance of more than 10 meters, he could hear the blood rushing inside the body of this man, his breathing was long and deep.

His skin was as white and smooth as the purest of jade. However, even from this distance, Wang Wei could tell this man' skin had an abnormal density and buoyancy.

Every time he exhaled, his breath could create a powerful arrow that traveled more than 30 meters. When the middle-aged man made a fist, Wang Wei could hear the sound of the air breaking.

Every time the man moved, the sound of thunder could be heard from the contraction of his muscles. His bones made clicking sounds like metals hitting each other.

'What a powerful body,' thought Wang Wei.

"Hello, my descendant, you can call me Wang Chong."

Upon hearing this sudden voice, Wang Wei was a little surprised, then immediately cupped his hand together and bowed: "Descendant Wang Wei has seen the Ancestor."

"Right now you may have many questions, however, this is just a memory that I have left to tell future descendants of my story and to help them start the cultivation of my proudest achievement, the [Ancient Desolate Body Refining Scripture]."

Wang Wei smiled a little embarrassed when he realized that this was just a recorded memory left in the original copy of the scripture. He also secretly cursed his father for not reminding him and made him lose face.

'I will deal with him later when I finish here,' thought Wang Wei. Then he realized that he was not a match for his father and he could just deny that he did it on purpose. He secretly gritted his teeth and thought, 'In that case, I'll just let mom deal with him then. Hmph, have fun sleeping outside in the next few months.'

"I was born at the beginning of the Faith Era. At that time, the Buddhist Sect had just discovered that they can significantly increase both their cultivation speed and power through gathering the power of incense or faith from the common people."

"As such, the majority of Emperors born in that era belong to a Buddhist sect. As for me, I was very unlucky. Less than 10000 years after I was born, Emperor Seven Lotus managed to bear the Heaven Mandate and proved the Dao."

"I did not have the chance to grow up, let alone fight for the Heaven Mandate. Additionally, I was contaminated by karma from this generation and unable to fight for the next Heaven Mandate."

"When I reached the peak of the Supreme Realm, I became angry, unconvinced, and unwilling. As a Heaven Chosen born with the Heavy Axe Physique, how could I be willing to be inferior to anybody?"

"As such, on a heated decision, I challenged Emperor Seven Lotus."

"However, this decision soon proved to be a devastating mistake. With only one finger, I was completely defeated. No, I was completely and utterly crushed."

"If it was not the Emperor who admired my courage and held back his strength, I probably would have died in that battle."

Wang Wei was shocked when he heard this. He knew that there was a vast difference between the Great Emperor and Supreme Realm, but he did not expect that the difference would be so vast. With just one finger, an Emperor could actually kill a Peak Supreme Realm True Monarch. And one with the same physique as Ji Song.

The voice of Wang Chong continued:

"After this fight I realized the fact that all beings are in fact ants in front of a Great Emperor. However, I refused to be an ant. I wanted to prove that an ant can defy Heaven and kill a giant, or at the very least, be equal to a giant."

"As such, I decided to create a cultivation method that allowed me to fight on equal ground with a Great Emperor. No matter the price, I must succeed."

"In order to do so, I started traveling around the whole world to find inspiration. However, everything seemed to be in vain. I could not find anything that could help."

"That was until I entered deep into one of the Forbidden Zone located in the Northern Black Tortoise Continent: The Blood Earth."

"Deep inside, I discovered what appeared to be a giant corpse sleeping. Its body was more than 100,000 zhang long and it had copper skin. It exuded a terrifying pressure similar to Emperor Seven Lotus, but I could not find the power of Dao from it. The pressure came solely from his powerful body."

"After spending months analyzing the books and marks left in the giant's sleeping chamber, I realized this gigantic being was in fact an Innate Primordial God that survived from the Primordial Era. It seemed to have been injured during the Null(Void) Era and was recuperating here."

Wang Wei became more shocked after hearing this news. He was always intrigued regarding the secrets of the Forbidden Zone. Now, he finally knew the answer to one of them.

However, soon, Wang Wei became scared. The Blood Earth still exists today as a Forbidden Zone. Does that mean that the giant body is still sleeping now? According to his ancestor, this giant seemed to be not dead, but sleeping.

What would happen if he were to wake up?

Thinking about this, Wang Wei began to sweat. This world is even more deep than he originally thought. No one can say that they are 100% safe.

Wang Wei decided to curb some of the arrogance he had grown in the past years due to the rapid growth of his strength.

Meanwhile, Wang Chong continued with his narration:

"After discovering the origin of the giant, I knew that my chance had finally arrived. Despite the danger that I might face, I decided to study the body of this Primordial God."

"And I succeeded. Maybe because the giant was in deep sleep or it just thought that it was just an annoying fly, it did not wake up during the whole process."

"As such, I became more bold. I thoroughly study its body. From the way it breathed to the way it slept, from the way it dreamed to the way it snored. How it interacts and controls spiritual qi."

"I analyzed his skin, muscles, bones, organs, blood, and even his brain composition. I did not even let go of his nails and hairs on his body. The only regret I have is that I could not study its soul. I could feel that if I touched his soul, something terrible would happen."

"After finishing my study, I spent countless years creating a cultivation method that imitated the body of this powerful Innate Primordial God. I hope that my technique would allow humans to forge a powerful body as strong as the ancient gods and even surpass them."

"After successfully cultivating my newly created method, I directly went to fight against Emperor Seven Lotus again."

"However this time, things went differently. I did not lose after one finger. In fact, I did not lose at all. Of course, I also did not win."

"I managed to match evenly with him. Me, a Supreme Realm powerhouse, fought in equal ground with a Great Emperor. I was no longer an ant."

"Although I could tell that Emperor Seven Lotus was more powerful than me, the difference was not enough for him to be able to kill me."

Wang Wei was even more shocked. This ancestor of his was truly a once in a million genius. What's more noteworthy was his unparalleled will, his desire to be excellent and his courage to do what others dare not do.

Wang Wei then sighed. The amount of surprise he received today alone was more than the past 15 years as a cultivator combined together.

However, from what he learned from history class, he knew that this story was far from over. And he was right.

Wang Chong did not stop talking, but continued to tell his story:

"After the fight, Emperor Seven Lotus was shocked by my progress and proposed to make a deal with me. If I let him borrow my new Body Refining technique, he will wash away my karma allowing me to fight for the next Heaven Mandate Battle."

"This proposal was very tempting to me. After convincing him to swear both a Dao Oath and Karma Oath to never pass this method to a second person, I agreed to his deal. As Buddhism is a sect that placed heavy emphasis on karma, I was relieved after he made the oath in front of me without hesitation."

"After which, in the next generation, with my powerful body, I easily suppressed all my competitors during the Heaven Mandate Battle, proved the Dao and took the name of the Ancient Desolate Emperor."

Wang Wei took a deep breath and started to process all the information he had just received. He realized that all 9 Emperors cultivated by the sect were all special in one way or another.

The reason that the Dao Opening Sect is powerful is not just because they cultivated the most Great Emperors, but because they cultivated 9 extremely powerful Emperors.
