An ordinary piece of iron, hammered a thousand times into steel; sanctify the body, shatter the heavenly gates!
Chen Ping, the blacksmith's son from Qingshi Town, is tested and found to possess the "Leakless Dao Body." Yet with body cultivation in decline, he is treated with contempt. He chooses to join the body-cultivation branch of the Azure Cloud Sect, where, under the hellish training of the mad elder Zhao Tieshan, he uses his mortal body to withstand fierce winds and thunder, tempering an indestructible golden physique amid freezing pools and blazing flames.
In a corner of the sect's scripture library, he unexpectedly finds a fragment of the supreme ancient body-cultivation inheritance, the Chaos Body Tempering Art. From then on, a thorny path of body cultivation unfolds beneath his feet. He takes chaos as his foundation, absorbs all forms of energy to temper his body, unlocks his acupoints, circulates energy through his meridians, and pushes his cultivation to its limits, until his fists shatter stars and his feet split the void!
At the outer sect tournament, he defeats every spell-cultivating prodigy with a single punch, revealing the might of body cultivation for the first time. On the battlefield of the chosen, he stands against the Vajra Saint Child, and his Chaos Body makes him famous throughout the Southern Wastes. When the demonic calamity strikes, he leads the Azure Cloud Sect against a Demon Venerable at the Deity Transformation stage, building a Great Wall for humanity with his own flesh and blood.
Yet the emergence of the Chaos Body sets the whole world in motion. Within the sect, the spell-cultivation faction covets his inheritance and plots against him. Across the cultivation world, Nascent Soul elders watch him like hawks. In the Demon Realm, an ancient Demon Venerable returns... And there are also the forbidden wastes of the Chaos Sea, the restricted Burial God Abyss, and the secret realm of the Creation Pool to explore. The mystery of the ancient body cultivators' extinction, the legend of the Twelve Ancestral Shamans, and the truth behind the great calamity of heaven and earth gradually come to light.
From the Southern Wastes frontier to the heart of the Central Province, from a lowly body temperer to a saint of the flesh, Chen Ping uses his fists to smash open the path to immortality and his iron bones to shatter the heavenly gates. The glory of body cultivation, dormant for three thousand years, will be brought back to the world by his hand!
