I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God Chapter 1387: Another Bright Prospect

Delight from reuniting with a longtime friend lit up across his face.

Yi Feng's gloom faded considerably, prompting him to start chatting amiably.

Unexpectedly, Wei Donghai appeared even more thrilled, grinning nonstop in response.

"Brother Yi, it's been ages since we met. Where have you vanished to lately? Everything going smoothly?"

Gazing at his beaming expression, Yi Feng couldn't help feeling a touch of jealousy.

Old Brother Wei lived so freely. Even in his later years, vigor still filled him. Such an enviable existence!

Not like him...

Over the years, he'd achieved zilch. No property to his name, and the disciples he'd accepted were utter failures. Apart from his mysteriously deep cultivation, he possessed nothing else.

To this day, he still hadn't located a Star Master. He was on the verge of turning into a total layabout, just lying flat.

Yi Feng sighed deep inside and replied with a casual grin.

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

"What's kept you occupied recently? You seem in top form. What brings you here?"

Catching the compliment, Wei Donghai caressed his beard and burst into booming laughter.

"Hahaha, Brother Yi, you flatter me."

He was on the verge of explaining when he spotted the onlookers nearby. The Star Master issue carried immense weight; caution was essential. Blabbing about it freely in the minor Yue Realm might invite disaster.

With that thought.

Wei Donghai dropped his grin, edged nearer, and gestured invitingly while angling his body.

"Brother Yi, this spot's no good for chatting. Fate brought us together better than any invite. Let's enter the city, grab a tavern, and discuss properly!"

Noting his secretive stance, Yi Feng felt little curiosity. Yet, worn out and downcast from his journeys, he thought a drink and some boasting with a pal might lift his spirits, so he agreed with a nod.

"Alright."

Perfectly in sync, the pair reentered the city.

Soon enough, they settled into a secluded tavern, claiming a window spot in a private booth.

After several cups of liquor.

The fiery liquid slid down their throats into their cores, invigorating them completely.

Wei Donghai's grin widened as he scooted closer and murmured.

"Brother Yi."

"Truth be told, I've come to the Yue Realm for something huge. Today's encounter is your lucky break too, letting me finally return the favor for that sword you gave me ages ago. Heaven's decree indeed!"

Something huge?

The grave phrasing made Yi Feng nod faintly.

"You overdo it. Just a sword, nothing worth fussing over. Mentioning repayment makes us strangers."

"Today, let's just booze and reminisce without all the ceremony."

With that, Yi Feng tossed back his cup's contents in one go.

He fully grasped now how exceptional his cultivation was. Whatever chance Old Brother Wei dangled likely meant little to him. Though unsayable aloud, facts were facts.

He yearned to live simply like Old Brother Wei, free from doomsday crises or endless Star Master hunts. But destiny decreed otherwise; overwhelming power brought endless duties.

Reality's cruel bind.

Watching Yi Feng sip relaxedly, faint fatigue in his gaze—like he'd weathered storms—Wei Donghai blanked out, sighing inwardly over and over.

Even a powerhouse like Brother Yi faced heavy burdens. Not much time had passed since their last meeting, yet harsh trials had clearly marked him. Tough times.

The Great Dao spares no one.

This plagued all cultivators. Without hitting that supreme realm beyond the cosmos, mortal coils ensnared everyone.

Yet chasing the infinite Great Dao? No simple feat.

His Daoist comrades had tenaciously held Cloud Star, barely inching forward in cultivation.

Even Ancient Saint Brother Luo languished in the Saint Realm. Though Brother Yi outshone them all, his struggles mirrored theirs amid endless woes.

Right then.

Enlightenment flooded Wei Donghai. Clarity sharpened his mind. Past knots unraveled, his spirit nearing transcendence.

Not from lofty mindset alone, but shifted views and circumstances.

Great Dao elusive, Brother Yi weary beyond measure.

Fortune smiled—he held the key!

Guided by Lord Star Master, obedience promised effortless ascent to Great Dao. No doubts lingered for Wei Donghai; the path gleamed ahead.

This boon demanded sharing with Brother Yi!

Thus decided.

Excitement barely contained, Wei Donghai leaned forward, eyes blazing fiercely!

"Brother Yi, fret no more!"

"Frankly, this chance is legit—a divine stroke of luck never seen before! Just trail me and..."

Mid-sentence, Yi Feng forced a grin and cut in.

"Thanks, I value the gesture, but I truly have zero interest in any 'opportunity.'"

Then he refilled and drank solo.

His forlorn vibe stunned Wei Donghai briefly, but realization dawned.

Smiling back, he lowered his voice.

"Brother Yi, you're unaware of this."

"The chance I mean surpasses all your wildest thoughts. Trust me! Just come pay homage to Lord Star Master with me..."

Suddenly, Yi Feng snapped to.

"Pfft!"

Not just spitting his fresh sip of wine across Wei Donghai's face, but jolting awake, eyes locked wide on him!

The outburst exceeded expectations.

Lightning-quick, utterly unforeseen!

Ignoring the wine splatter, Wei Donghai gaped in astonishment.

"Brother Yi, what's got you so riled?"

"Don't tell me... you've heard of the Star Master already?!"

His words amplified the shock in Yi Feng's stare.

Lightning-struck, vitality surged through him. Emotions flashed wildly as he demanded!

"Star Master?"

"Where did you spot the Star Master? Real deal?!"

Now Wei Donghai reeled in shock.

The Star Master's fame was brand new to them. For Brother Yi in this backwater Yue Realm to know already? Astonishing.

Brother Yi's cultivation and savvy outclassed every Daoist peer!

Shock fading briefly.

Flames ignited in Wei Donghai's gaze as he whispered urgently!

"Brother Yi, knowing Lord Star Master exists means no more explanations needed!"

"If nothing presses, come worship Lord Star Master with me now. Your power guarantees Lord Star Master's favor. Erect temples, rack up merits—you'll soar to Great Dao!"

Yi Feng's face beamed fully!

He'd never dreamed it.

The elusive Star Master, fruitless after days of search, unveiled by a chance old friend meetup. Just aiming to booze away boredom, yet such a windfall?

Verdant trees hid the village past seeming dead ends.

The heavens finally favored him!

Eyes alight on Yi Feng, Wei Donghai pressed on, touting endless perks, weighing ins and outs, lauding Lord Star Master nonstop.

"Brother Yi, join me, win Lord Star Master's nod, and ancient relics could be yours! Cultivation skyrockets. Miss this divine gift at your peril!"

"Lord Star Master radiates unmatched aura. Serving him means eternal fame effortless! Lord Star Master harbors grand visions..."

Before persuasion wrapped, Yi Feng jumped in, impatience bursting.

"Alright!"

"We go now. Quick, to Lord Star Master!"

Wei Donghai nodded joyfully at Yi Feng's sharp decision.

"Perfect!"

"I figured as much. Your insight and strength, Brother Yi, won't pass up fortune. Off we go!"

Grinning ear-to-ear, wrinkles galore, Wei Donghai outshone his own relic hauls in glee. Bursting with haste, he rose mid-chat, ushering Yi Feng from the tavern.

Under Wei Donghai's lead, they morphed into radiant beams, rocketing skyward, stunning the street crowds below with awe.

"Heavens above!?"

"A Saint!"

"Multiple powerhouses, it seems!"

"Such fearsome gods—what are they? This geezer couldn't track their speed, just light streaks. Terrifying!"

...

Instantly, the beams sliced the firmament northward, bound for barren polar wastes!
