Like the Cubes Chen Shu had entered before, this one was more rounded inside than out, no longer a perfect cube. A closer look revealed dense Runes carved across its vast inner walls. They were still running, flickering now and then with faint white light before dimming again. Standing inside felt like standing in deep space beneath a sky full of stars.
Though he knew everything inside had been specially treated, Chen Shu set a Restraining Seal at the entrance to keep out air and light, just to be safe.
Then he stopped breathing and walked in slowly.
Many boxes lay scattered across the floor, looking as good as new. In the center stood a rectangular Stone Platform bearing two objects.
One was a black jar, plain and old-fashioned, about the size of a bucket.
The other was a flat stone slab.
It was a large slab, far bigger than the palm-sized Space Stones in the other Cubes. Though only about twenty centimeters high, it might have been a hundred times longer and wider than the other Secret Realm Space Stones, its fine-grained material plainly visible.
Chen Shu froze when he saw it.
The shape of a Space Stone's inner space matched its outer shape, only magnified many times over. The factor varied with its quality. The Space Stones in the other Cubes were roughly palm-sized, give or take, and their Secret Realms were generally a few hundred meters across, with shapes and quality that varied.

If a country possessed it, its strategic value might rival the Heavenly Palace of Yi Nation.
Chen Shu turned to look at Qingqing.
Qingqing pressed her lips together,
