While Shen Yu and others were talking, Xiao Lan was focused on her awakening. The nine Qi clouds roared inside her as they went through every part of her body. The pressure of them was so much that Xiao Lan began to feel that she would die.
She didn't even know if she was doing the right thing or not. But she still persisted and continued to circulate the nine Qi clouds while keeping them separate from each other.
Because the circulation required her full focus, she didn't notice anything happening around her. Tiny fissures in the fabric of space were beginning to form around her. Not only that, but there was a small crack in the sky, which was getting bigger every second.
No one noticed it, and the sky continued to split apart as something akin to a pupil began to materialize in that crack. The one eye quivered, showing signs of opening.
