"Chirp, chirp!"
The Cloudwing Beast gave a low cry, its gaze wary yet filled with wonder as it watched the Time Crystal Core erupt with dazzling light in midair.
From the Time Crystal Core, the Cloudwing Beast sensed a familiar presence, as though it were Qin Hao's aura.
The Cloudwing Beast glanced at Qin Hao, then back at the Time Crystal Core, its enormous eyes filled with surprise and bewilderment.
On the Second Floor of the Nether Demon Palace.
Soul splitting? What was Qin Hao doing? The Azure Li Lord had been watching Qin Hao all along. Sensing this, she was astonished once again.

She could not even tell what he was doing.

"This little fellow... really is extraordinary." The Azure Li Lord blinked, her expression brimming with anticipation.
Originally, when she had entrusted Qin Hao with going to the Azure Flame Sect, the Azure Li Lord had not held out much hope.

"Perhaps... one day, I, too, can leave the Nether Demon World and regain my former glory."
The Azure Li Lord looked forward to that day.
"Qin Hao, beautifully done!" Lingxiaozi's excited laughter rang out in Qin Hao's mind.
"Not bad."
Qin Hao smiled as well.
As he gazed at the Time Crystal Core floating before him, shimmering with dazzling light, an incredibly strange feeling rippled through his heart.
It was as though he were the Time Crystal Core, and the Time Crystal Core were him!
Utterly bizarre!
Not only that,
