The memories belonging to the Grand Ancestor of the Great Void unfolded before He Pingsheng.
Taixu had an inherited cultivation technique called the Great Void Grand Mystic Scripture.
This cultivation technique was of an extremely high grade, reaching heaven tier.
And it was middle-grade heaven tier at that.
Cultivating with this technique allowed one to progress more than twice as fast as an ordinary cultivator.
But after reaching the nascent soul realm, cultivation shifted from breaking through the flesh barrier to breaking through the Dao obstacle, so the Grand Ancestor of the Great Void's cultivation slowed as well.
When Taixu was around five hundred years old, he had a son named Wuwei.
When Wuwei was seven, an enemy injured him with a divine ability wielding wooden spiritual power. His meridians gradually deteriorated, and it seemed he did not have long to live.
Among the five elements, metal overcame wood!
If pure metal power were channeled into Wuwei's body every day, day after day, he could make a full recovery.
The crucial problem, however, was that Taixu had no metal spiritual root.
Wuwei's mother had a five-element spiritual root, but her cultivation was extremely low. She possessed a metal spiritual root, yet the magic power in her dantian was insufficient.
To save her son, the woman wielded her sword and cut out her own five-element spiritual root, giving it to her husband.
The Grand Ancestor of the Great Void endured his anguish and devoured the Spirit Root, bringing his Great Void Grand Mystic Scripture to full mastery! From then on, he could wield the power of all five elements, and ultimately used pure metal power to bring his son out of danger.
But Wuwei's mother died because of it.
That was the truth behind the Grand Ancestor of the Great Void
