Chapter 281: Inside the Meteorite
This made Xu Qianghua tilt his head as he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
"An egg? No, this can't be a normal egg," he muttered, stepping closer to inspect it. The spherical object rested peacefully on the pedestal, glowing faintly as if it were alive.
But curiosity got the better of him, and he stretched out his hand toward the egg. His eyes widened as his body reacted instantly when his fingers brushed against its smooth surface.
A strange sensation coursed through him. His chaos-infused Qi, something unique to his Chaos Body, began to flow into the egg as though being drawn by the creature inside the egg.
He could feel the energy being absorbed rapidly, yet the egg didn't seem to have any negative reaction to this. Instead, he could see the egg having more color, and it even started to shake slightly, which meant that the creature inside was still alive.
This made him sigh in relief as he did not want a dead egg that would suck as the beast inside should be a rare or powerful beast for it to be sealed inside this meteorite.
"What is this…?" Xu Qianghua whispered, his senses heightened. There was something oddly familiar about the egg, a faint connection that resonated with his Chaos Body.
As the energy flow continued, the egg wriggled slightly, almost as if it were responding to his touch.
Startled, Xu Qianghua pulled his hand back. The movement ceased, and the egg fell still again, glowing faintly.
He stood there for a moment, his mind racing with questions. "This isn't just an egg. It's definitely a powerful spirit beast egg that has Chaos-related properties."
Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, he turned his attention to the rest of the meteorite's interior.
At first glance, he had assumed the egg was the only item within. But as his gaze swept across the chamber, he realized just how wrong he was.
The interior was vast, far larger than the meteorite's outer appearance suggested. Clearly, some kind of spatial manipulation was at play.
Rows upon rows of treasures lined the space—heavenly materials, rare herbs, and countless cultivation resources either stacked neatly in rows or placed in glowing containers.
The sheer abundance left him momentarily speechless.
"This… is this some kind of treasure vault or a private house of a powerful cultivator?" he mumbled, stepping deeper into the space.
He hoped that it was the former and not the latter, but considering that this place was connected to the egg, there was a good chance that it belonged to a powerful cultivator but most likely died, which was good news for him as now all of these treasures belong to him.
He walked over to a shelf filled with shimmering crystals, each radiating immense energy.

Upon closer inspection, he recognized them as Holy Spirit Stones, higher-level spirit stones that are above the top-tier spirit stones.
Each Holy Spirit Stone is worth 1000 Top-tier spirit stones. This is mainly because of their rarity, as the chances of them being found in top-level spirit veins are 1 to 1 million.
"These are almost impossible to find… yet there's so many here. " He could not help but be excited, as this was the first time he had ever held a Holy Spirit stone, and this included the old timeline.
But now he saw a small mountain of these Holy Spirit Stones lying around, and just as he was about to collect them all, he saw a space ring lying at the bottom of the pile.
This caused Hin to pick it up and examine it, only to find that it was an ownerless ring. So Xu Qianghua dropped a little bit of blood as he claimed it.
He was not disappointed by the results, as he could sense the massive space within.
When he put his hands inside, he was amazed to see piles and piles of spirit stones, and none of them lost their Spirit Qi, which means that the ring either had a time freeze option or the items were placed recently.
But now, all of these belong to him and the Xu family.
And nearby, jars of glowing pill bottles caught his attention. But this time, he did not check what kind of pills they were as they could be anything, and he did not want to take any risks, so he planned to wait until he got home before opening them.
As he continued exploring, he came across rare herbs growing in what seemed to be self-sustaining patches of fertile soil.
These plants emitted faint spiritual energy, their vitality suggesting they had been thriving here for centuries.
But he can also feel that these were recently replanted as he could feel the plants' breath, indicating that they were only a few months old, but this was nothing compared to what he had just seen next.
There was a huge lake that was surrounded by various spirit grass and spirit herbs, and this did not disappoint him either, as he could see high-grade spirit herbs growing within the lake.
However, he did not check much as he wanted to see if there were any signs of anyone living here or anything out of the ordinary, as he had read in some novels, where an old grandpa or a stunningly beautiful woman loses their body and chooses to go into a ring or something similar to heal.
And wait for a 'destined one' to come and save them, but to his disappointment, he could not find anything of that sort, but amid the treasures, a faint glimmer caught his eye.
Tucked away on a pedestal similar to the one holding the egg was a small orb, its surface swirling with patterns of light and shadow.
He stepped closer, his instincts telling him this item was significant.
When he reached out to touch it, the orb reacted instantly, lighting up and emitting a soft hum.
Information flooded his mind—a map of the meteorite's structure, its protective formations, and a function that allowed it to fly.
"This… is the meteorite's controller."
