Myna bird discovered a gray substance at the meteorite’s core, and its pressure broke another seal, raising its strength to the level of an invincible immortal emperor. When the meteorite stopped devouring energy and defended itself against further inspection, it struck both Myna bird and Fang Chen, leaving Fang Chen wary of the stone’s power.

• Fang Chen discovered that the molted meteorite in his dantian released spiritual and immortal spirit power, which strengthened the clarity of his innate array diagram.
• Little Grass sensed that a powerful force had broken through the seal on the Meteorite Forbidden Grounds, so Fang Chen ordered Little Crane to take them there.
