The numerous villagers had just completed their daily obligatory task with the chanting presiding—worship and offering to the Great Buddha.
Suddenly, a rumbling explosion from afar neared from the horizon, causing the departing temple villagers to look up instantly.
They witnessed a meteor from outside the sky breaking through the vault of heaven, engulfing in fierce flames as it plummeted to earth.
The meteor traced a sky-splitting arc, precisely falling within the courtyard of the residence belonging to the son of the Sword Casting Master, yet it did not make the impact and loud noise one would expect.
The Village Chief was stunned and then loudly rallied, calling the villagers to go check.
Inside the Sword Casting Master's residence, the burning meteor had not created a large crater but stood quietly on the ground, not even scorching this otherworldly land.
