I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God Chapter 1298: Sunset Cloud Immortal Abode

Confronted by this surprising development, Yi Feng furrowed his brows while rubbing the back of his head in total confusion, utterly clueless about what exactly had gone astray.

Noticing the bewilderment on his face, the pair of men appeared to slowly regain their composure. They bobbed their heads in enthusiastic approval and proceeded to clarify the situation.

"Excellent, you are truly excellent."

"Frankly speaking, those two Fate Envoys turned out to be demons masquerading as such. Your success in eliminating these demons clearly demonstrates your remarkable cultivation, far exceeding the standards of a typical Mortal Star. You are without doubt a prodigious talent."

"Achieving such impressive battle strength amid the scarcity of resources on this Mortal Star highlights your outstanding innate gifts. That's genuinely an impressive accomplishment!"

A fresh wave of effusive compliments followed.

It was at that moment Yi Feng grasped the truth—he had unwittingly slain demons. What was once a perilous threat had swiftly transformed into a commendable achievement?

Damn it!

His expectations crumbled yet again. Something that ought to have been positive instead left Yi Feng tasting bitterness he couldn't voice, his expression darkening in deep irritation.

The deeper his thoughts delved, the more reluctant he felt.

Yi Feng hastily shifted his approach, admitting his "wicked actions."

"Uh..."

"Slaying the demons was nothing but a fluke."

"Truth be told, I'm not the actual Star Lord of Lan Star. I shattered the token, and I took down the genuine Star Lord!"

As they held positions above the Star Lord, revealing this ought to enrage them, correct?

Yi Feng gazed at them with hopeful eyes, yet he witnessed the duo momentarily taken aback before they grinned and inclined their heads.

"It's of little importance."

"If you've managed to defeat the Star Lord, that indicates your cultivation surpasses his. Assuming his role is entirely fitting."

"The Star Lord seat goes to the worthy; this is perfectly justified. Regarding the Star Lord token, occasional breakage is commonplace. With demons lurking and scheming against us at present, your disruption of their infiltration scheme counts as a major contribution. Never mind just the Star Lord role—even ascending to the advanced star later on will pose no issue whatsoever!"

The accolades grew increasingly over-the-top, leaving Yi Feng thoroughly perplexed.

Even fabricating a tale about offing the Star Lord brought zero repercussions. Merely because his cultivation edged out a bit stronger, he received heaps of acclaim. The world operated on such pragmatic lines, a realm where might earned respect...

Before he could utter further absurdities, the elegant man was already regarding him with complete esteem, beaming and nodding.

"You've performed a tremendous service, and your gifts are anything but commonplace. Are you open to joining us back on Yuan Star?"

"Yuan Star has long prized capable individuals, no matter their roots. Should you agree to come, you'll gain access to superior resources, ensuring your remarkable potential isn't squandered on this modest Lan Star. How does that sound?"

The flattery had reached absurd heights, and now they offered an invitation?

This was absurd!

Yi Feng absorbed their words, inwardly rendered speechless and deeply let down. Thus, all his attempts to stir up enmity proved futile and even reversed course?

Are you serious?

Irritated though he was, observing their earnest grins prompted him to reflect. Their proposition carried a certain rationality...

On present-day Lan Star, neither the Star Lord nor the Sea Lord dared clash with him. The Demon Lord, whom he hadn't approached, likely offered no hope either. As for the rest, they probably lagged far behind the earlier "seafood," mere pushovers he could dispatch with a handful of strikes, an utter drain on his stamina. Beyond a touch of practice, they provided zero thrill.

Though Yi Feng resisted the notion, his chances to court death had dried up.

Only by venturing to a mightier, elevated star—like the Yuan Star these two referenced—might he confront fiercer opponents and perhaps fulfill his ultimate quest for demise.

This was the harsh truth.

Overwhelmed by helplessness, with no alternatives in sight.

After mulling it over for a few moments, Yi Feng reluctantly agreed with a nod.

"Fine, I'll accompany you back."

At his response, the two men nodded, their gazes lighting up with pleased expressions.

Following a short time of readying themselves, Yi Feng, harboring no ties to Lan Star anymore, departed alongside them.

Tearing open the void, the trio entered sequentially, their presences fading entirely from Lan Star...

Upon emerging from the void, a vista of serenity and splendor greeted them. The atmosphere brimmed with potent spiritual energy drawn from the heavens and earth. Vibrant clouds glowed overhead. Across a sprawling square, people moved to and fro, each radiating an air of distinction.

Yi Feng trailed after the two men, weaving past numerous ornate halls of glazed tile.

Passing through a majestic heavenly portal, he discovered a concealed realm inside.

Beyond endless halls, divided by a winding river spanning untold miles, tiers of mountain-capped territories hovered midair like ethereal isles. From a distance, hermitages dotted their surfaces. It formed a truly enchanting realm, akin to a mythical paradise.

After soaring alongside the two men for a few instants, they arrived at a breathtaking isle enveloped in luminous pink hues. It spanned roughly a hundred miles wide. Inside, streams, peaks, and woods intertwined. Mythical fowl and sacred creatures abounded. A refined pavilion nestled amid the ridges, its entrance etched with the words "Luo Xia Tian Fu" (Sunset Glow Heavenly Manor).

Before Yi Feng could examine it closely, the foremost man pivoted with a grin.

"Henceforth, this shall serve as your abode. Every resource on the isle is at your disposal. Cultivate here undisturbed. We have pressing reports to deliver and must depart now."

"Should any issues arise, simply contact me."

With those words, the man produced an antique jade slip, marked with the archaic lettering for "Luo Xia Tian Fu." He infused it with a thread of his divine sense and passed it along prior to dissolving into the mists.

Clutching the slip, Yi Feng experienced a mild astonishment inwardly.

Though his bid to incite animosity had fallen flat, derailing his anticipated pursuit of death, trailing this individual to Yuan Star brought unexpectedly favorable accommodations.

It must be acknowledged, this fellow was decent.

For starters, he had received kind treatment, granted such a dwelling immediately upon arrival. A quick survey revealed it outshone adjacent abodes by several folds.

This marked a solid beginning.

Even with the road ahead shrouded in uncertainty, his initial base proved remarkably promising.

Yi Feng casually stowed the slip and drifted downward toward the isle ahead, making directly for the pavilion.

The instant his feet touched the entrance, the pavilion acted with awareness. The aged timber gate creaked open gradually. Floral scents from the yard wafted soothingly. The gazebos and lakeside structures exuded refined charm. The tripartite layout displayed masterful design, infused with an air of erudition throughout.

Yi Feng entered with steady steps, his mind filled with satisfaction.

Settling into a seat at random within the chamber, he spotted premium tea and spirits arrayed on the table. A single sniff confirmed their exceptional quality, heightening his sense of relaxation and fulfillment.

He promptly prepared a pot of tea to cleanse the journey's grime, pushing aside fresh vexations to savor the freshness and tranquility of his new surroundings.

Over the next few days of adjustment, Yi Feng steadily adapted to the relaxed existence within the celestial residence.

Daily, he sipped tea, savored views, inscribed characters, and sketched scenes. Come morning, he lingered by the threshold, silently observing the cloud ocean and dawn's ascent. As evening fell, he reclined on the balcony, peacefully viewing avian and beastly forms gliding amid the flushed skies and foggy expanse. He at last felt the essence of immortality, able to provisionally cast off all concerns.

In truth, Yi Feng had leveraged these scenic contemplations to collect details and acquaint himself with dwellers on adjacent celestial isles and abodes.

He had arrived at this Yuan Star not for idle comfort but to chase oblivion. This paramount life ambition remained etched indelibly in his soul.

As the proverb states, diligence begets heavenly favor.

Through days of persistent inquiry, Yi Feng at last uncovered some foundational knowledge.

This locale went by the name Fengxue Island (Wind and Snow Island). The myriad celestial isle abodes fashioned here, along with amassed heavenly treasures and earthly bounties, all served to nurture premier talents. Legends held that numerous prominent personages had risen from Fengxue Island, forging their reputations across Yuan Star from this very spot.

Staring at the roiling cloud sea, Yi Feng couldn't help but feel stirred.

After all the turmoil, it dawned on him that he'd landed in a spot resembling an academy for immortal cultivation. The launchpad was decent enough, yet its tranquility and security grated on him terribly.

As frustration mounted within him, a silhouette gently alighted.

A middle-aged figure of learned bearing approached with a warm smile, his demeanor brimming with modesty.

"Brother Yi."

Yi Feng returned the smile and saluted with clasped hands, welcoming the guest into his home for discussion.

This individual was Xu Qingyuan, Yi Feng's inaugural companion here. Likely due to their shared origins from Mortal Stars, an innate rapport existed between them. Yi Feng bonded seamlessly with this senior, and much of his gathered intel stemmed from his disclosures.

After downing a few cups of superior brew, Xu Qingyuan heaved a deep sigh, a wry grin twisting his features, his gaze laden with jealousy.

"Brother Yi, your fortune is simply outstanding."

"For ascetics like ourselves, hailing from Mortal Stars, merely reaching Frostwind Island demands immense toil. We're seldom accorded respect here. But you claim the 'Sunset Heaven Manor'—it's bound to stir envy in all!"

"In my earlier days on Beili Star, I wielded command over tempests. Little did I foresee that after endless trials to ascend this Elemental Star, I'd wind up so diminished? Time slips away, existence proves arduous—certain matters are best unspoken."

Observing his senior pour out woes with a tormented look post-sips, Yi Feng felt a wave of empathy swell.

The cultivation journey stretches infinitely. You scale the summit of your Mortal Star, believing a superior domain awaits, only to realize you're still insignificant amid the cosmos. Few could swallow that without struggle.

After all, not every soul boasts an ironclad, near-masochistic Dao Heart. The impact hits too profoundly; the vast chasm in mindset defies quick resolution.

Capitalizing on their toast, Yi Feng offered soothing remarks.

"Brother Xu, don't undervalue your worth. Having gained entry to Frostwind Island, where provisions abound, with steadfast practice and resilience, carving out success isn't out of reach!"

His words momentarily stunned Xu Qingyuan. He set aside his cup and nodded with a rueful chuckle.

"Carve out success?"

"Brother Yi, you're viewing it far too optimistically. Our kind from Mortal Stars are scarce to start with, and we pale against the Child Star cultivators who enjoy inherent boons in assets and lineage. Be it solo striving or mutual support, we can't surmount the barriers of rank and order, much less the vague notion of 'success.'"

"Certain divides can't be closed by mere toil. The Child Stars teem with prodigies. One flash of insight from them eclipses our eons of labor!"

"Forget the unrivaled geniuses gracing the Heaven Roll—even those graced on the Earth Roll outstrip us by leagues."

Having unburdened his heart at length, Yi Feng's interest piqued further.

"Heaven Roll?"

Xu Qingyuan affirmed solemnly, eyes fixed on the cloud vista beyond the pane.

"The Heaven Roll, as it's known, stands as Frostwind Island's premier ranking of might. Its entrants wield earth-shattering prowess and are fated for boundless provisions. The Earth Roll ranks a notch lower, yet its perks still dwarf our wildest dreams!"

"Consider it: those Child Star virtuosos launch from daunting heights, bolstered further by such endowments. How could we measure up?"

"Though access to Frostwind Island represents a precious boon for folks like us, the stark contrasts reality imposes amount to sheer torment!"

He swallowed a gulp of potent spirits, and defiance gleamed in Xu Qingyuan's stare!

Tracing his line of sight over the cloud sea, at the heart of the isle-dotted expanse loomed a colossal effigy soaring thousands of feet. Its sight infused this senior's gaze with longing and sparked a spark of resolve!

"Brother Yi, behold."

"That monument honors the fabled supreme powerhouse who birthed Frostwind Island. Stories of this ancient titan persist and echo widely even now."

"This exalted one forged Frostwind Island, bolstering myriad cultivators through his solitary might, repelling fiendish assaults and upholding human equilibrium. He embodies the absolute pinnacle of his era!"

"Without the legends of this titan to inspire me, my Dao Heart might have crumbled under oppression long ago. I won't shy from your mirth, Brother Yi, but should I one day claim even a fraction of this titan's aura, it'd fulfill my every aspiration!"

Having exchanged sentiments over extended discourse, Elder Brother Xu's cheeks glowed ruddy.

Yi Feng absorbed it all with profound resonance, deepening his insight into Frostwind Island's intricate legacy. After escorting this senior away, he reclined on his plush divan in reflection, his visage alight with eagerness.

Frostwind Island had been founded to groom champions against the demonic horde. Perils aplenty surely awaited discovery here.

This domain... he'd likely chosen wisely. Future prospects for courting oblivion abounded.

The night elapsed uneventfully.

A new day broke, its dawn rays bathing all in light.

Amid the cluster of celestial isles and hermitages, numerous forms darted hither and yon, scanning their surrounds.

One among them bore a visage smooth as polished jade, clad in lavish attire, escorted by an alluring celestial beauty. His words flowed with polish, while a handful of attendants trailed him, faces etched with profound reverence.

"Junior Sister, fear not."

"Our clans have shared bonds across ages. Securing a dwelling is a minor affair; this young master will ensure it's managed flawlessly for you. Whichever celestial isle catches your eye, merely indicate with your delicate hand, and I'll make it yours without fail."

His assured, gracious declaration swiftly drew a grateful curtsy from the celestial maiden.

"My thanks, Senior Brother An."

Her elegant dip accentuated her lithe form's allure. Witnessing it, the young master's mouth quirked upward, and he issued a bold vow right then.

"Junior Sister, such formality is unnecessary."

"A trifle like this requires but a word from me. Select freely, without the slightest reserve."

Her eyes sparkled with esteem at his assurance, and she nodded promptly, surveying the area.

After pondering the heavens quietly for a spell, a spark ignited in her lovely gaze as she gestured afar.

"Senior Brother An, that celestial residence yonder strikes me as remarkably refined..."

Tracking her slender digit, his view settled on the plaque reading "Sunset Heaven Manor." A fleeting shadow crossed An Shixuan's eyes, swiftly masked by a grin as he replied.

"Quite right, Junior Sister possesses keen discernment."

"Sunset Heaven Manor boasts plentiful resources and thick spiritual essence. The abode was fashioned by a master artisan. Dwelling there long-term fosters comprehension of the Great Dao, outpacing nearby celestial residences by far."
