The joy of reuniting with an old friend crept up his brows.

Yi Feng's depression dissipated quite a bit, and he began to exchange pleasantries.

Who knew Wei Donghai seemed even more excited, responding repeatedly with continuous smiles.

"Brother Yi, it has been a long time since we last met. Where have you been these days? Is everything well?"

Looking at his radiant face, Yi Feng felt a bit envious.

Old Brother Wei was truly carefree. Even at his age, he was still full of drive. What a fulfilling life!

Unlike himself...

He had accomplished nothing over the years. He had no estate, and the disciples he took in were all trash. Aside from an inexplicably profound cultivation base, he had nothing.

Up until now, he couldn't even find a Star Master. He was about to become a salted fish lying flat.

Yi Feng sighed inwardly and casually responded with a smile.

"I... I'm doing alright."

"What have you been busy with lately? You look great. Why are you here?"

Hearing the praise, Wei Donghai stroked his beard and laughed heartily.

"Hahaha, Brother Yi, you must be joking."

He was just about to answer when he noticed the surrounding crowd. The matter of the Star Master was too important; he had to act steadily. It wasn't suitable to casually spread the word in the small Yue Realm, lest he sow bad karma.

Thinking of this.

Wei Donghai put away his smile, leaned in a bit closer, and turned sideways to invite him.

"Brother Yi, this isn't the place to talk. A chance encounter is better than a planned invitation. Why don't we head into the city, find a tavern, and talk in detail!"

Seeing his mysterious posture, Yi Feng wasn't particularly interested. However, feeling weary and depressed from his recent travels, he figured it wouldn't be bad to take the chance to have a drink and brag a little, so he nodded in agreement.

"Alright."

The two hit it off and entered the city again.

Before long, they found a quiet tavern and sat by the window in a private room.

After downing a few cups of wine.

The warmth traveled down their throats straight into their organs, making them feel refreshed all over.

Wei Donghai's smile deepened as he leaned in and spoke.

"Brother Yi."

"To tell you the truth, I came to the Yue Realm for a major matter. Our meeting today is also an opportunity for you, and a great chance for me to repay your kindness of gifting me that sword back then. It truly is the will of Heaven!"

Major matter?

Hearing the serious wording, Yi Feng merely nodded slightly.

"You're too polite. It was just a sword, no need to care so much about it. Talking about repaying kindness is treating me like an outsider."

"Let's just drink and catch up casually today. There's no need for excessive formalities."

After replying, Yi Feng downed the wine in his cup in one gulp.

He now knew deeply that his cultivation was extraordinary. The opportunity Old Brother Wei spoke of probably wouldn't be of much use to him. Although it was inconvenient to say this out loud, it was the truth.

He also wanted to be ordinary like Old Brother Wei, not having to care about some world-destroying tribulation, nor needing to search everywhere for some Star Master. But fate was just like that; being too strong inevitably came with many responsibilities.

This was the helplessness of reality.

Looking at Yi Feng drinking leisurely, a trace of weariness revealed in his eyes, as if he had experienced a lot, showing a slight change compared to before...

Wei Donghai couldn't help but stare blankly, sighing repeatedly in his heart.

Even someone as strong as Brother Yi probably had many difficulties. It hadn't been long since they last met, but he had likely encountered many arduous changes. It wasn't easy.

The Great Dao is ruthless.

All cultivators were like this. Unless one truly reached the absolute peak realm that transcended the world, it was difficult to escape the entanglements of the mortal realm.

But how could the vast and boundless Great Dao be so easy to pursue?

A group of fellow Daoists had bitterly guarded the Cloud Star until now, struggling to advance their cultivation even an inch.

Even the Ancient Saint Brother Luo was always trapped in the Saint Realm. Even if Brother Yi was stronger than everyone else, he probably wasn't too far off and similarly found it hard to escape various troubles.

At this very moment.

Wei Donghai felt deeply enlightened. His mind became incomparably clear. He had seen through all his past troubles, and his body and mind felt as if they were about to touch that realm of transcending the mortal world.

This wasn't because his state of mind was extremely high, but a result of his different situation and perspective.

The Great Dao was hard to trace, and Brother Yi was also extremely exhausted.

He indeed already had a clue!

Now with Lord Star Master guiding the way forward, as long as he followed orders, ascending to the Great Dao could be said to be as easy as flipping his hand. Wei Donghai no longer had the slightest confusion, feeling that the Great Dao was already a smooth path.

Such a good thing absolutely could not be kept from Brother Yi!

Thinking of this.

Wei Donghai could hardly conceal the excitement in his heart. He leaned in and spoke, his eyes shining with a sharp light!

"Brother Yi, there is no need to worry!"

"To tell you the truth, the opportunity I mentioned is absolutely true, and it is an unprecedented godsend! As long as you follow me..."

Halfway through his words, Yi Feng squeezed out a smile and interrupted.

"Thank you, I appreciate your kindness, but I'm really not interested in any so-called opportunity."

After saying that, he continued to pour wine and drink by himself.

Seeing his lonely appearance, Wei Donghai was taken aback at first, but then he understood the reason.

He replied with a smile, his tone becoming lower.

"Brother Yi, there is something you don't know."

"The opportunity I'm talking about definitely exceeds your imagination. You must believe me! As long as you follow me to pay respects to Lord Star Master..."

At this point, Yi Feng suddenly reacted.

"Pfft!"

Not only did he spray the mouthful of clear wine he had just drunk all over Wei Donghai's face, but he also seemed to awaken from a dream, suddenly staring intently at him!

This reaction was even more violent than expected.

It was even so fast that it caught him off guard!

Wei Donghai didn't mind the wine on his face, but stared with a look of surprise.

"Brother Yi, why are you so excited?"

"Could it be... you have already heard of the Star Master's existence?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the shock in Yi Feng's eyes became even more obvious.

His whole body seemed as if struck by lightning, suddenly bursting with energy. Various expressions continuously appeared on his face as he asked urgently!

"Star Master?"

"Where have you seen the Star Master? Is it true?!"

As soon as these words were spoken, it was Wei Donghai's turn to be shocked.

They had only recently learned of the Star Master's existence. He didn't expect that Brother Yi, being in the lowly Yue Realm, could actually know about it so early. It was truly extraordinary.

In terms of cultivation and experience, Brother Yi was indeed far above all the fellow Daoists!

After a brief moment of shock.

A fiery look appeared in Wei Donghai's eyes, and he hurriedly replied in a low voice!

"Brother Yi, since you know of Lord Star Master's existence, then there is no need for me to say more!"

"If you have no urgent matters, then follow me to pay respects to Lord Star Master right now. With your cultivation, you will definitely be highly valued by Lord Star Master. In the future, by building temples and establishing merits, you will surely be able to ascend to the Great Dao!"

Hearing this, Yi Feng's face completely lit up!

He never expected this.

The Star Master he had been searching for for many days without any news was actually revealed by an old friend today. He had just wanted to drink and relieve his boredom with an old friend, but there was actually such an unexpected harvest?

This was truly a case of finding a path where the mountains and rivers seemed to end, only to discover a new village in the shade of willows and bright flowers.

Heaven had opened its eyes!

Seeing Yi Feng looking excited, Wei Donghai continued to speak, constantly talking about various benefits, explaining the pros and cons of everything, while endlessly praising Lord Star Master.

"Brother Yi, as long as you come with me and gain the favor of Lord Star Master, you might just be rewarded with an ancient treasure! Your cultivation base will absolutely soar. This is a god-given opportunity, you absolutely cannot miss it!"

"Lord Star Master possesses an unparalleled demeanor. If you can serve under him, making a name for yourself that lasts through the ages will be a breeze! Lord Star Master has lofty ambitions..."

Before Wei Donghai could even finish his persuasion, Yi Feng had already agreed, unable to hold back his impatience.

"Alright!"

"Let's go right now. We must hurry and find this Lord Star Master!"

Hearing this, Wei Donghai nodded, delighted by Yi Feng's sensible choice.

"Wonderful!"

"I knew it. With your cultivation and vision, Brother Yi, you are definitely not someone who would let an opportunity slip by. Let us depart at once!"

Wei Donghai smiled so broadly that his face was full of wrinkles, looking even more thrilled than when he had obtained an ancient treasure himself. Looking incredibly anxious, he stood up mid-sentence and led Yi Feng out of the tavern.

Led by Wei Donghai, the two transformed into streaks of flowing light and shot straight into the heavens, drawing endless gasps of amazement from the long street below.

"Holy heavens!?"

"It's a Saint!"

"It looks like there's more than one mighty figure!"

"What terrifying divine beings are they? Even an old man like me couldn't see their movements clearly. I only saw a flash of light. How utterly terrifying!"

...

In the blink of an eye, the streaks of light had already cut across the sky, heading all the way north, straight toward the desolate polar extremes!
