War Preparations

Three weeks had gone by in the outside world while Shen Bao was comatose. And a lot happened there and then.

The skies above the city of Muyang were dark and red, and they have been like that for weeks now without anyone knowing the reason. It felt like a Divine Heavenly tribulation that was waiting to pour down hell and hail from above.

While many cultivators went to inspect the reason and find out what, the most they could do was associate the phenomenon to someone going through a rise in their cultivation base, but at the same time either failing to succeed or suppressing himself. 

Waves of divine sense washed over the city without figuring out the reason or the person responsible, and since the heavenly tribulation was just waiting, and didn't act, the reason was soon forgotten for an even bigger issue.
