"This… is the teorite's controller," Xu Qianghua muttered, gripping the orb tightly. It explained everything—the teorite's arrival, its indestructible barrier, and even its ability to house such an elaborate interior space.
Whoever had designed this clearly intended it to fall into the hands of soone capable. But who and why?
Xu Qianghua's mind raced as he tried to piece together the possibilities. Was this left behind by a powerful cultivator?
Perhaps it was a test or a gift ant for soone with a specific connection to chaos energy, which is why he was able to enter.
But his thoughts spiraled as he considered, then dismissed, various options. He was the only one the barrier allowed through, which made the mystery even more puzzling.
As he pondered, his body moved instinctively toward the egg. The faint glow pulsed steadily, almost as if it were alive.
He stared at it for a mont, the connection he felt earlier resurfacing.
"Whoever created this must have had a purpose," he murmured, running a hand over the orb. "But what is it?"
Deciding not to linger any longer, Xu Qianghua activated the orb. The entire space began to hum softly as the teorite responded to his command.
Slowly, it started to rise, the golden light from its cracks illuminating the crater once more.
Outside, the crowd gasped in shock as the teorite lifted into the air. Its glowing surface pulsed rhythmically, drawing even more attention.
"What's happening now?" soone shouted, their voice tinged with panic.
"It's leaving!" another exclaid.
"No! How is that possible?" a third voice cried out.
In desperation, the cultivator rushed toward the teorite, but the barrier rebounded him violently before he could get close, sending him tumbling back.
Xu Qianghua, observing the scene from inside the teorite, remained calm. He held the orb tightly and activated a hidden formation, cloaking the teorite entirely.
With a soft hum, the teorite vanished from sight, leaving the crowd outside stunned and murmuring in confusion.
"Where did it go?" soone whispered.
"It's gone… just like that," another said, their voice filled with disbelief.
Inside the now-invisible teorite, Xu Qianghua ordered it to move toward the Xu family's subspace portal.
The orb humd in response, and the teorite adjusted its trajectory. Xu Qianghua leaned against one of the interior walls, his thoughts still racing.
"Why did the teorite fall here, and why now?" he muttered, his gaze shifting between the orb and the egg.
Sothing about the timing didn't feel coincidental, but he couldn't pinpoint why.
Once the teorite reached the Xu family's subspace portal and entered inside, Xu Qianghua deactivated the invisibility formation.
He then took the teorite to a corner of the subspace and landed it in place.
Xu Qianghua then stepped out of the teorite and activated his family token, sending out a call to the ladies as he wanted them to be the first ones to see this.
Then, he will give this teorite to the elders so they can use the items inside properly.
Not long after, Liu Anwei and Bai Xueyan were the first to arrive. As soon as they saw him, they rushed forward, their faces filled with excitent and relief.
"Brother Qiangqiang!" Liu Anwei called out, her voice soft yet filled with emotion. She didn't hesitate as she threw herself into his arms, wrapping him in a tight embrace.
Bai Xueyan was close behind, her elegant composure giving way to joy as she also buried herself in his arms.
"Why did you summon all of us? Is it because of the teorite? All of us saw you go inside. Are you alright? What happened?"
Xu Qianghua chuckled softly, his arms encircling both won. "I'm fine. I'll explain everything once everyone's here."
The warmth of their embrace was comforting, but the mont didn't last long. The sound of hurried footsteps echoed as the rest of the ladies arrived together.
The next to appear was Yan Yuehua, her sharp gaze instantly locking onto the two won still clinging to Xu Qianghua.
Her expression soured slightly, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she folded her arms and waited.
Behind her, Liu iying and Bai Lingyun walked in together. Liu iying raised an eyebrow at the scene, her usual calm deanor shifting to one of playful jealousy.
"It seems we're late," she said, causing Liu Anwei and Bai Xueyan to smile happily.
Bai Lingyun smirked, though her eyes narrowed slightly as she glanced at the two won still holding onto Xu Qianghua. "Indeed. Perhaps we should demand our turn?"
Liu Anwei and Bai Xueyan reluctantly let go, stepping back but not without sharing a smug glance at the others.
Next, Huang Xinyi and the maids all arrived and then saw the large teorite behind Xu Qianghua.
"Now that everyone's here, let show you what I've found," Xu Qianghua said, gesturing toward the teorite. The won's attention shifted, their curiosity piqued.
As they moved closer, Xu Qianghua activated the orb, opening the teorite's interior for all to see. The glowing chamber inside left everyone stunned.
"This… is incredible," Bai Xueyan breathed, her eyes scanning the rows of treasures and heavenly materials.
"Where did this co from?" Liu iying asked, stepping inside to inspect a row of rare herbs.
"I'm not entirely sure," Xu Qianghua admitted. "But it seems like everything here was ant for soone with a connection to chaos energy."
The group began exploring the teorite's interior, marveling at the abundance of resources.
Yan Yuehua inspected the glowing bottles of pills, her mind already calculating their potential uses.
Bai Lingyun ran her fingers over a shelf of shimring crystals, her eyes gleaming with excitent.
Amid the exploration, Xu Qianghua's gaze returned to the egg on its pedestal. Its faint glow pulsed steadily, almost as if it were alive.
He couldn't shake the feeling that this egg was the main protagonist of this event, which made this egg even more important.
"What do you think it is?" Liu Anwei asked, joining him at the pedestal.
Xu Qianghua shook his head. "I don't know yet. But whatever it is, it's important."
The won gathered around him; they were curious about the egg, but they did not touch it after learning that this might be the most important item in this teorite.
