I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God Chapter 1381: Return

Yi Feng remained seated in stunned confusion, unable to accept this revelation immediately. Yun Star was supposed to be the mightiest location, but he'd always learned it was nothing more than a mundane mortal star. It struck him as a colossal prank.

The deeper he pondered, the tougher it became to swallow.

He lifted his gaze and questioned, his voice dripping with skepticism.

"Impossible."

"How can Yun Star be a realm star? Are you deceiving me?"

Whoosh!

Merely by raising his eyes and uttering those words, a supreme pressure erupted outward. Despite being a sub-star lord, Gu Daofang froze rigid in shock!

He quickly bowed low and responded, showing far greater deference and submission than earlier.

"Senior, please discern the truth!"

"Yun Star truly is a realm star—this is undeniable fact. This junior would never dare utter falsehoods..."

Noticing the bearded elder nearly weeping from distress, Yi Feng still withheld full trust. He kept staring sharply, his voice dropping to a grave depth.

"If Yun Star is a realm star, then why does it appear in its current state? A realm star stands as the supreme domain. It couldn't possibly be this desolate, let alone remain utterly obscure."

"Speak honestly—what's really happening here!"

Impossible for it to be so barren?

Gu Daofang jolted at those words, his heart plummeting. He realized Senior Yi must have visited Yun Star before. Yet the overwhelming pressure bearing down now intensified further. He struggled just to stay upright, leaving no room for deeper reflection!

Bending even lower in his bow, Gu Daofang swiftly shared all he knew.

"Senior, I beg your understanding..."

"Long ago, Yun Star served as a holy ground, undeniably the pinnacle of our star domain. Every great power knows this well. This junior wouldn't dream of misleading you even slightly. The realm star designation is recent, yet it's genuine."

"A hundred thousand years back, a colossal battle raged in the starry skies near Yun Star. A fearsome barrier then arose, sealing it off from the cosmos. The ancient starry sky road fell to some ultimate force as well. The cause remains unknown. Even those mighty beings from other stars who fought in it have sealed their lips ever since. Precisely a hundred thousand years ago, Yun Star earned its status as the new realm star."

"Why Yun Star turned barren, this junior genuinely cannot say. By all logic, it was already extraordinarily powerful. Upon realm star recognition, it ought to have gained Heavenly Dao blessings, but instead, its splendor faded. This puzzle defies explanation..."

"That's the full extent of this junior's knowledge. Please see the truth, Senior!"

With his words complete, Gu Daofang pressed his hands together, nearly prostrating fully.

Observing his earnest desperation and the ring of truth in his account, Yi Feng ceased his doubts. Ages past, he'd caught whispers of that starry sky conflict, and the Ancient Return Corridor had indeed been obliterated.

Consistent tales from varied sources all hinted at a shrouded, enigmatic history. No fabrication could align so seamlessly.

Evidently, Gu Daofang spoke true—Yun Star was indeed a realm star...

Right then.

Yi Feng could only partially accept it.

No matter how reluctant, he lacked proof to contradict.

As Gu Daofang teetered on the verge of kneeling, further grilling might drive the bearded elder to tears.

Yi Feng sighed softly in resignation and offered reassurance.

"I never imagined Yun Star was truly a realm star."

"I'll take your word for it now. Rise, take a seat, and talk. Should I head to Yun Star later, how do I locate the star master? You report Yuan Star affairs to that star master, correct?"

With Yi Feng's words, Gu Daofang exhaled faintly in relief and rose. But midway through hearing them, his frame went rigid again, his face twisting in deeper embarrassment.

"Senior, pardon me..."

"Such matters belong to the Yun Star Master, overlord of our galaxy's realm star. Yet this junior's cultivation is meager; I missed the great war entirely. I've never set foot on Yun Star, so I truly don't know that exalted one's identity."

Mid-explanation.

Gu Daofang's weathered cheeks burned crimson, and he hastily piled on praise to mask his mortification.

"This junior's failing entirely. I seek your forgiveness, Senior."

"That said, your cultivation defies measurement. This junior is certain you'll locate the Lord Star Master upon arrival!"

"This crisis threatens all life. I cannot linger, so I must implore boldly—please extend your aid!"

His flattery rang sincere, every gesture and look laced with utmost care.

Yi Feng listened, his expression one of pure exasperation.

Today's absurdities mounted relentlessly. Shattered perceptions were bad enough, but now, after taking on this task, he learned the man couldn't even name his contact.

To seek aid amid such sloppiness?

What nerve.

Regrettably, he'd committed earlier, and Yun Star brimmed with enigmas. Duty bound him to go regardless.

Eying the uneasy, shamefaced bearded elder, Yi Feng shook his head ruefully. Rising, he declared and flicked his sleeve, parting the void.

"Fine."

"My promise stands—I'll go deliver the word. Cease bothering Qinghe Town's folk. If no more business, bid them farewell for me, then head back to Yuan Star."

As his gentle tone ebbed, Gu Daofang bowed deeply in thanks.

By the time he straightened to express gratitude, Yi Feng had vanished. Only the table's pure tea wafted heart-soothing aroma. The humble courtyard now pulsed with profound mystery.

Even lingering traces terrified. Such is a true master's concealed might!

This defines the hidden expert.

"Gratitude, Senior Yi, for aiding me. This junior shall never forget your grace!"

Gu Daofang bowed reverently once more and departed swiftly as commanded. Soon, Qinghe Town's residents gained serendipitous boons and artifacts. They gazed at starlit skies piercing the heavens, buzz of excited chatter erupting everywhere.

Deep in the vast stellar ocean.

Yi Feng spurred Man Man onward, hurtling faster. Just as Hai Star receded into distance, swarms of dark qi abruptly materialized around, pursuing with clear intent.

Initially dismissive, Yi Feng simply urged Man Man quicker. But endless dark forms kept surging, relentlessly drawing near.

Like a plague of persistent gnats!

Yi Feng's mind already churned from Yun Star woes, now fraying further. This intrusion shattered his long-held composure, igniting irritation and unrest.

For the first time in ages, fury stirred within.

"Clang!"

With a resonant chime, the peerless sword leaped forth!

Blazing sword beams streaked like shooting stars, vaporizing the stellar shadows into mist!

His strike yielded instant annihilation—no shock there.

Yet vexation lingered unquelled. Astride Man Man, sword in hand, he pursued and eradicated every nearby shadow. Only then did he exhale deeply and sheathe the blade.

"Phew..."

"These must be the shadows Gu Daofang warned of. They carry real weight—barely departed, and they haunt us like vengeful spirits."

Man Man bubbled softly and wagged its feelers in compliance.

"Bloop bloop..."

With no more pursuers, Yi Feng pointed distantly ahead and commanded.

"Target: Yun Star. Maximum velocity!"

The order given, a radiant trail blazed through the galaxy. Halting anew, they perched atop a verdant peak!

Surveying the vaguely familiar, unremarkable vista and sensing the sparse spiritual qi mirroring old Qinghe Town, a nostalgic warmth surged in his chest.

Yi Feng stared across boundless woodlands, still grappling with disbelief that this was the Realm Star. A faint estrangement mingled with unspoken sorrow in his gaze.

"I have returned at last..."

"But how do we track down the Lord of Yun Star?"
