The rebirth of the Three Mountains of the Ying Sea usually followed a certain pattern. After a typically fixed period of time, they would show themselves to the world again. Even though the exact timing was unknown, a rough estimation could be made within a range.
Typically, the estimated timing of the reappearance of the mountains would be within the next year or two. Their reappearance at this point was undoubtedly earlier than expected – possibly on the very border of the estimated time range.
In the East Sea, the powers and cultivators that had their own ideas about the Three Mountains of the Ying Sea were only beginning to make their preparations. The sudden showing of the three mountains took everyone by surprise, but did not affect the speed of their reactions too much.
