As time passed, it was getting closer and closer to the re-opening of the Spirit Sea.
The entire Grand Celestial World entered a period of peace. It was the calm before the storm.
However, things were still brewing beneath the calm exterior. It was only going to get more and more intense. News from the Barren Expanses claimed that the Golden Cicada Master had appeared suddenly, and he had been traced down.
He managed to escape the ambush of the Dragons, but the Secret Spirit Sea Key that he had obtained landed in the hands of the Dragons.
As this news spread, everyone was shocked. This meant that the Dragons were almost certainly going to go into the Spirit Sea and join in the battle for the Spirit Sea.
The situation regarding the Spirit Sea became more and more confusing and unpredictable.
