Awakening of the Ancient: Rise of the Fallen

Xu Ming hurriedly walked towards his hut as he ignored everything else.

He entered his hut. Just as he had expected, the place was completely empty. Others were most probably still working at the moment.

He closed the door from the inside and walked back to his bed.

He sat his need as he gazed at the ring in his hand.

The ring was invisible in his hand, but he could feel that the ring was still there.

He couldn't help but remember something he read in a book in the heavenly realm. It was about the storage rings. The book said that there were two types of storage rings in existence.

The first type of the rings were the ones that could be bound to one's bloodline. Only the person who had the same bloodline could use the ring, but that was picky possible by binding the ring first.

The second type of rings were the ones that could be bound to one by using Qi. These types of rings could only be used by others when the original owner of the book was dead.

Xu Ming remembered the words of his father when he said that the ring could only be used by him and Xu Ming. Not even their mother could open the ring.

Xu Ming understood that the ring was the first type.

The ring was in his right hand. He brought the thumb of his left hand closer to his mouth and bit it lightly.

Although it was painful, he didn't groan in pain even once.

His thumb was bleeding. He bright hour bleeding thumb closer to the ring as he rubbed his thumb gently on the ring. His ring was covered by his blood.

Xu Ming could feel a link meeting established between himself and the ring.

A sweet sensation coursed through his body as the link was established. He could feel the immense power of the ring and felt like it contained some amazing strength.

He was able to see inside the ring.

Tears appeared in his eyes as he saw the things that were inside the ring. 

The first thing he was was a portrait inside the ring. The portrait was their family portrait.

His mother was sitting on a throne while his father was standing beside her.

Xu Ming was only 3 years old at that time. He was in Yue's embracing.

He brought the portrait out of his storage ring and held it in his hands as he stared at it. Tears kept falling from his eyes as he saw the smiling face of his father and mother.

Xu Ming hugged the portrait for quite some time before he gently placed it back inside his storage ring.

Xu Ming started looking at other things and there were quite a lot of things that he noticed.

There was a small box. He brought out the box and looked inside. There were three pills inside the box.

He couldn't help but wonder what these pills were. He has no knowledge about the pills or alchemy. He had never even seen these pills before.

He put the small box back in his storage ring.

The next thing was a booklet. He brought out the booklet and read the name on the book.

"Heavenly Origin Cultivation." 

He read the name of the book out loud.

He wondered if it was the same cultivation manual that his father used to cultivate. He decided to cultivate using this cultivation manual so that he could reach the higher cultivation realm faster.

He kept the book back for the moment and looked for other things inside the storage space, but unfortunately, these were the only things he could find.

"Where are the weapons and treasures? Father said that the ring contains all his artifacts." He muttered with a doubtful look on his face as he wondered what was happening.

He suddenly remembered something he had heard long ago. It was a story told by her mother.

His mother said that this was a true story.

She said that there was a time when there was a boy. The boy was from a rich family of the Immortal Realm. The boy found a ring of a strong cultivator, but since he didn't find anything worthy inside the storage ring, he threw it away.

The discarded ring was found by another kid. The kid was from a poor family and he was quite happy as he found the ring.

He checked inside the ring, but there was nothing inside the ring. Still, he didn't throw away the ring and wore it.

More years passed away and the boy found a master. The master gave him a cultivation manual and taught him how to cultivate.

The man didn't have a great cultivating talent, but he didn't have a bad talent either. It took him a few years and he became an Earth Realm cultivator.

As soon as he broke through to the Earth Realm, the boy felt a strange sensation.

He checked the ring once more out of curiosity and he was surprised to find that the storage space inside the ring was much broader than it had been before.

The ring was filled with many treasures. Apparently, the ring was from a supreme cultivator that had all his inheritance.

The ring apparently had a different space that was only accessible by one with appropriate strength.

That man used the inheritance items and became quite strong and rich. He became a well-known personality in the Immortal Realm.

Xu Ming wondered if this ring worked on a similar principle.
