I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God Chapter 1328: Ordinariness is a Blessing

In the twinkling of an eye, half a month flew by.

Wind and Snow Island had regained its normal rhythm. Guo Jiannan came back to manage the base, the messy history was left behind, and the island stepped into a fresh era.

Excitement and deep feelings surged among the people, with a fierce zeal to fight against the demons spreading all around.

By rights, Wind and Snow Island held a solid fame. The new Island Master's arrival injected fresh energy, which ought to have sparked a huge stir or drawn eyes from every direction, letting them ride the wave back to their glory days.

What a shame.

Lately, all the big powers had hunkered down completely, too busy to bother with any of this. The whole world was stunned by a fresh tale making waves.

Word on the street was...

At the farthest end of the Yuan Star stood the Cangyuan Palace. It towered grandly through the clouds for countless years, acting as the heart of the Yuan Star. The Lord Star Master dwelled there for ages, ruling over every creature on the Yuan Star.

That palace floated high above the clouds, a spot few exceptional folks ever got to glimpse. Its spot was the Yuan Star's nucleus, pulling in boundless Dao rhymes and spiritual energy.

If a regular cultivator got the chance to step inside, even for one quick breath, the gains would last a lifetime.

The Cangyuan Palace stood as the unchallenged sacred site of the Yuan Star. Be it the great powers inside, the beings that lived there, or the very air they inhaled, all of it outstripped what normal folks could dream of.

For countless eras, the enigma and splendor of the Cangyuan Palace inspired reverence. Nothing odd had ever happened there, and to billions of cultivators, it was like a holy shrine in their minds.

But then.

Merely days back.

Black clouds swallowed the heavens, hiding the sun and moon, and drowned the shining clouds around the Cangyuan Palace.

Sudden endless gloom crashed down, like some massive thing had dropped. As it blanketed sky and land, a smothering force swept across the globe. Countless top experts probed in alarm, but they only caught a fuzzy shape, their souls gripped by dread of the unseen!

Such force was unheard of; even the might of heaven and earth seemed weak beside it.

Even scarier, the lofty beings in the Cangyuan Palace could barely make out the enemy's real form. Gazing at the shadow that filled the sky, they felt utterly tiny.

Beneath that hopeless weight.

A blade slashed down like divine wrath crashing on the realm!

The sword light stabbed through a million miles, shaking the skies and wailing spirits!

Even the numerous rulers of the Cangyuan Palace paled in horror. They didn't dare twitch, locked still by pure fright.

That brief sword flash etched itself forever in every mind. For all their strength, they could scarcely grasp the leftover echo of the sword intent. All they knew was raw panic, like beholding a real deity's arrival.

After that split second, utter quiet fell.

The world cleared up, yet the Cangyuan Palace plunged into massive chaos.

Nobody knew the full story, and the Lord Star Master vanished from sight. The nameless horror rippled out millions of miles and quickly soaked the whole Yuan Star. Ancient beasts in hiding for eons got so scared they sealed themselves away for eternal sleep.

Just wild tales kept buzzing among billions of cultivators. Plenty shelved their arrogance from high births and abruptly filled with respect.

One slash rocked the Yuan Star.

That hidden giant was scary to the extreme!

Though the Yuan Star earned the title of a Child Star, in the endless cosmos, it was just a speck. It didn't rank at the pinnacle and was really no big deal.

The Great Dao stays out of reach for commoners, and these mysteries matched that. Though they seemed to spread far and fast, even hitting nearby stars and stirring quakes, they weren't for everyday ears.

The epic deeds of top cultivators felt too distant, much less the chilling whispers of that earth-shaking sword.

***

On a desolate ordinary star called the Hai Star.

In a cozy town hugged by peaks and streams.

The lengthy roads teemed with folks, as calm as ever. Lacking the glamour of far-off cities, it brimmed with everyday human warmth. Vendor calls blended with chuckles and cheer, keeping things buzzing.

This little town sat ringed by hills on three sides, rivers flowing past each. It served as a vital path for boats and carts alike, and gradually, folks multiplied.

The place looked modest, but it covered all basics.

Inns and teashops dotted the area, traders and sellers everywhere you looked.

Even a humble learning hall, scarce for miles around, stood in a straw hut at the hill base. The spot was serene and hidden, perfect for guiding young minds.

This straw hut, away from the bustle, dodged the street clamor and let kids chase knowledge in peace. It appeared plain, yet tidy inside, showing the people's thirst for knowledge.

As noon neared, kids' voices chanting lessons echoed from the hut's yard.

"Men at their birth, are naturally good. Their natures are similar, their habits become different..."

Though the kids sported worn outfits, their bright gazes shone with hope. They recited after the teacher with real effort, no laziness in sight, showing a focus way beyond their age.

Clean eyes mirrored a youthful man, refined and bookish, clad in spotless white robes.

Watching the kids so intent, Yi Feng felt deeply pleased. A sudden wave of fulfillment washed over him, leaving his body light and calm.

These kids deserve the lessons.

These kids will no doubt excel in learning.

While he taught with full heart, a lovely shape appeared by the window.

"Master Yi."

The tone was soft, tinged with unease.

The pupils were just kids, after all, and curiosity won out. They twisted to look at the voice, halting the lively class short.

Yi Feng stayed unruffled and glanced toward the sound.

There stood a dainty girl by the window. About sixteen, in plain garb. Her fresh, unadorned charm already promised stunning looks.

Recognizing her, Yi Feng grinned, set his book aside, and headed to the entrance.

"Miss Wei."

"What brings you here today?"

This girl's name was Wei Xiaowei, a new friend he'd made lately.

Since Yi Feng arrived and fate led him to teach at the school, Miss Wei's little brother got to learn. She felt so thankful and checked on him often.

As Yi Feng approached with a warm smile, his speech and poise so graceful.

The girl quickly bowed, seeming a touch rattled.

"I've interrupted Master Yi's lesson; please forgive me..."

With Yi Feng's reassuring smile, she went on.

"Master Yi, we're all so thankful you came to our Qinghe Town to teach, letting our town's kids learn to read and write."

"It's nothing fancy, just a little thanks from us. I hope Master Yi accepts!"

With that, Miss Wei grabbed two baskets from the sill.

The baskets showed some wear, but spotless and neat; clearly cared for well. One held dried meats, fruits, veggies, the other fabrics and garments.

These goods lit up the kids' eyes right away.

Qinghe Town acted as a trade crossroads, yet demon beasts plagued it hard. Having food and clothes was the top wish for plain folk. No overstatement—these baskets held true treasure.

Yi Feng's heart stirred at the gesture, ready to politely decline.

But before he spoke, Miss Wei pushed the baskets into his arms, pulled a note from her sleeve, and offered it with steady eyes and two hands.

"Master Yi."

"In Qinghe Town, cultivation started out of need. We're mostly tough commoners who just know brawling and survival. Sadly, not all have the talent for it, so many grind away at hard work to get by. By teaching here, you've opened new paths for the kids' futures. This favor towers over the skies."

"We have little worth giving back. Besides these small tokens of thanks, there's just this letter. Please, don't turn it away..."

As she said it, Miss Wei ducked her red cheeks, eyes brimming with worried hope.

In the classroom, the children mustered bravery, rising one by one to bow and beg.

"Teacher, please take it..."

"Teacher, my father said if you refuse, he'll whack my behind when I return!"

With such heartfelt kindness pouring in, Yi Feng could only nod.

"Fine. If you all insist, I'll take it."

His words sparked cheers from the kids. Miss Wei, waiting by the door, beamed brightly and straightened up. Happiness flooded the little school.

In this warm burst of shared joy, Yi Feng's face lit with contentment too.

The bonds of people... that's the real essence of living.

These days, he'd been worn out, dashing nonstop in his wild chase for doom. No time to breathe or reflect on his road. It was truly draining.

Now, settled briefly in this humble town, he felt truly comfortable. Like slipping back to his former days, body and spirit at rest. At last, a short break.

Being normal is a true gift—those words hold no lie.
