I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God Chapter 1304: Unexpected Delight

Within merely half a day's time.
The report of Yi Feng's demise circulated rapidly, arriving in the ears of nearly every individual.
This genius from the mortal-star realm, who had risen briefly, plummeted abruptly like a meteor flashing through the heavens. The uproar it stirred exceeded even the prior reveal of the Heavenly Rankings, sparking countless laments of sorrow.
The formerly revered prodigy turned into mere history. On Blizzard Island, cultivators chattered endlessly about it, as the fans who once crowded around him scattered away. The previously splendid Sunset Sky Mansion now lay empty and still.
Pursuing renown and wealth defines the essence of many; thus flows the changeable nature of existence.
In front of the cavern home that formerly teemed with guests, just a handful of mortal-star cultivators lingered. Clutching exquisite liquor, sorrow carved into their features, their head Xu Qingyuan remained lost in thought, staring at the hushed yard before releasing a prolonged exhale.
"Ah..."
"Who could have imagined that Brother Yi, fresh off climbing the Heavenly Rankings and securing a breath of pride for us mortal-star cultivators, would vanish so swiftly? Indeed, the heavens begrudge those with talent!"
"Now that you're departed, with whom shall we toast and celebrate?"
As those words stirred their grief, the followers at his back clenched their jaws and bowed their heads.Though they were also admirers drawn by his fame, their hearts held no hidden agendas. Toward Yi Feng, another mortal-star prodigy, they felt only pure admiration and reverence.
It wasn't an overstatement to claim that the kind-hearted and generous Yi Feng represented their beacon of hope, the foundation they leaned on. They simply yearned for this talent to take flight and achieve fame throughout the Elemental Stars!
While crowds of self-seekers fled, these few arrived to pay respects. Their genuine bond required no words. They mourned not just Yi Feng but the crumbling support for every mortal-star cultivator.
Bliss and triumph proved all too brief, divided from endless parting by but one day.
For an extended period, they lingered in bleak rigidity.
Xu Qingyuan spilled the rare vintage onto the earth near the cavern entrance, drew in a sharp breath, and bit down hard in defiant determination, giving a resolute nod.
"Brother Yi, rest easy."
"Your splendor will stay etched in my memory forever. I'll never falter or shrink back once more. Henceforth, I'll push myself to claim a breath of pride for us mortal-star cultivators!"
His allies nodded in agreement as well, faces set with determination.
Plenty of eyes witnessed their tribute. Some observed with sympathetic sighs, others with sneers of contempt, yet since Yi Feng had perished, it all concluded in mocking chuckles.
The myriad cavern abodes across Blizzard Island hummed with their usual energy. Matters appeared to revert to their prior state. Elemental-star cultivators continued to act superior, and the esteemed An Shixuan remained encircled by sycophants...
Regarding Yi Feng, now scarcely brought up, he found himself bewildered inside a shadowy, ochre realm.
The area around him was hazy and overcast, chill and barren.
Yi Feng's face showed complete confusion as he surveyed the strange setting.
"Crunch!"
A single slash from his blade split a soaring beast right down the middle.
He muttered under his breath in irritation.
"What sort of rundown spot is this..."
"Wasn't there meant to be a reward waiting in the vault? How come it feels like a puzzle chamber? The vibe is totally wrong. Blizzard Island's vault is way too rundown."
He wandered around for quite a while, doubts mounting with every stride. The whole realm radiated an intense aura of isolation.
This scene differed vastly from his expectations.
He quickly glanced behind, discovering that even the route he'd taken had disappeared entirely...
Only then did realization dawn on Yi Feng. He seized his massive sword with a firm hold!
"Dammit!"
"This cursed location isn't any vault. Looks like I've been tricked!"
Right at that instant.
Yi Feng grasped the full truth. The spot he'd entered wasn't a vault whatsoever, but a peril-filled domain. That elder woman from before was downright devious. Her speech had seemed agreeable, yet her true aim was to send him to his doom?
The deeper he peered, the more doubts surfaced. Yi Feng examined the barren landscape.
At last, he spotted a stone monument rising a zhang tall. Wiping off the heavy grime, the carved words had faded somewhat, after countless ages had elapsed.
