Yi Feng reunited with old friend Wei Donghai in the Yue Realm, momentarily lifting his spirits amid recent frustrations. Over wine in a private tavern, Wei spoke of repaying past kindness with a supreme opportunity to meet the Star Master. Though initially dismissive, Yi Feng spat out his drink in shock and eagerly agreed to depart, as the pair streaked northward toward the polar extremes amid awed onlookers.

Several hours afterward, two beams of light descended onto the desolate wasteland.

Once the radiance faded away, the thrilled countenances of Yi Feng and Wei Donghai came into sight. Yet, upon spotting the boundless ocean of sand stretching out ahead, Yi Feng's face noticeably stiffened in shock.

He had visited this sandy expanse previously.

Though dragon beard noodles and assorted wild game could be found here, turning it into a fair hunting ground, the area remained quite barren. Finding even a spot to rest proved challenging.

No matter how he pondered it, a Star Master commanding a whole galaxy would never stoop to lingering in such a forsaken spot.

Yi Feng turned around and questioned, his voice tinged with doubt.

"Is Lord Star Master truly here?"

Wei Donghai laughed at his remark, reverence gleaming in his gaze.

"Haha."

"Brother Yi, I don't blame you for doubting. Probably no one else would trust that a lord exalted like the sun and moon would remain in this wasteland for long."

"Yet, this is completely factual. Since Lord Star Master sealed the rift personally right here, he has fretted over potential shifts in the rift that could threaten Cloud Planet's inhabitants. Thus, he inspects it daily. For any pressing issues needing direct reports, we'll surely locate Lord Star Master at this spot!"

Upon hearing this explanation, Yi Feng nodded as understanding dawned.

"I see."

"For this Star Master to exert such efforts for the common folk's safety, he truly deserves his esteemed title."

Wei Donghai nodded vigorously in accord.

He clasped his fists once more, his eyes radiating profound admiration.

"Brother Yi speaks truly!"

"Lord Star Master possesses unmatched demeanor and cherishes every life on Cloud Planet. He harbors the mighty vision to restore Cloud Planet to its former glory. In both temperament and cultivation, he stands as the radiant moon we can only gaze upon lifelong, forever unattainable."

"The colossal plan orchestrated by Lord Star Master is advancing, and we're already entangled in its game. Endless prosperity awaits us ahead. Brother Yi, when you greet the lord shortly, show no hint of rudeness, for both logic and sentiment demand it. Seize this chance firmly!"

Absorbing this sincere counsel, a spark of anticipation flickered in Yi Feng's eyes.

Though he hadn't encountered the Star Master yet, Brother Wei's vivid tales already painted the image of an unparalleled, formidable powerhouse!

Opportunities mattered little; the key was finally encountering this Lord Star Master.

With the message delivery nearly accomplished, Yi Feng relaxed greatly. Learning of such a mighty figure's exploits stirred his long-dormant aspirations.

This Star Master was astonishingly remarkable, the supreme being across the galaxy; his cultivation had to be overwhelmingly fearsome!

Maybe...

Even he might fail to overcome him!

Should a chance to clash arise, wouldn't that neatly fulfill his death-seeking quest?

This thought ignited his enthusiasm.

Yi Feng's excitement surged, and he promptly cupped his fists in reply.

"Thanks for the advice. I won't act rudely at all. Let's go pay respects to Lord Star Master immediately!"

Witnessing Yi Feng's enthusiastic reply, Wei Donghai saw it as expected.

Across the whole Cloud Planet,

Anyone learning these hidden truths and gaining access to meet the Star Master for ultimate boons would naturally erupt in thrilled agitation. That Brother Yi still held a composed face demonstrated a mindset far surpassing others.

With such poise and deep cultivation prowess, even if Brother Yi lagged behind Lord Star Master, he'd surely earn heavy trust. Claiming the second strongest position on Cloud Planet seemed assured!

Reuniting to return favors and together revive Cloud Planet, ultimately soaring to the ultimate Great Dao and etching names for eternity...

Nothing could thrill the heart more!

The deeper Wei Donghai pondered, the more exhilarated he grew, and he swiftly took the lead, dashing ahead!

"Brother Yi, let's plunge into the wasteland's heart now!"

The duo lightly touched the sand with their toes, gliding over the infinite sand sea like soaring geese. Joy lit their faces distinctly, while an ineffable eagerness and thrill coursed through their beings.

In mere moments,

They had traversed thousands of miles across the sand sea, when a lone white-clad silhouette appeared on the distant horizon.

That jade-hued, robed figure stood silently at the sky's brink. Despite the vast sand sea underfoot, it barely dimmed the refined aura of his pristine white garments. Hands clasped behind, he stared into the boundless heavens, resembling a living masterpiece from afar.

Spotting this afar,

Both men froze in awe at the stunning vista, halting mid-flight in unison.

Wei Donghai glanced back with delighted surprise and whispered yet another cue!

"Brother Yi!"

"That's Lord Star Master. Hurry, let's descend and offer our respects!"

Responding to the insistent prompts, Yi Feng's anticipation heightened, and he nodded promptly before touching down.

"Mm!"

They settled into the sand sea, straightened their attire, and advanced steadily a few paces until nearing him.

Viewed up close from roughly ten feet, the figure proved even more captivating.

His robe gleamed like fine jade, his frame proud as blooming plums.

Solitary amid the endless sands, he safeguarded this domain, securing tranquility for Cloud Planet's denizens. His simple garb now radiated countless divine halos.

Despite encountering numerous dignitaries, Yi Feng found himself captivated by this presence at first glance.

Wei Donghai lowered his head, cupped fists in utmost respect, brimming with devotion.

"Lord Star Master..."

To his shock, as words left his lips, a cool voice resonated in his ears.

"You bear the vital duty of reviving Cloud Planet and ought to oversee key affairs in the Nine Realms now. Why bring another here?"

This prompted deeper awe in Wei Donghai's eyes, and he hastened to respond.

"Forgive me, Lord Star Master."

"This junior ought to prioritize the revival efforts, yet I fortuitously met Brother Yi. His cultivation is exceptional, his nature upright—a true prodigy. Cloud Planet urgently requires such talents, so this junior presumed to escort him here for homage."

Having spoken, Wei Donghai stood meekly, silent thereafter.

After brief quiet,

A mild, detached voice emerged, soothing and serene.

"I see."

"No need for alarm. With talent present, I'll certainly employ him well."

In scant phrases, Lord Star Master revealed vast magnanimity. He tracked Wei Donghai's actions flawlessly, enigmatic as Cloud Planet's true deity.

Wei Donghai surrendered fully to conviction and respect, as Yi Feng's battle fervor blazed.

From prior encounters, pretentious bigwigs often lacked depth. Today's Star Master exuded poise and enigma, a wholly distinct presence.

This embodied a galaxy overlord's true style.

Such a titan made the ideal mark for provocation and demise. Across the galaxy, none compared. Missing this would mean no future shot!

Yet, how to craft a pretext for attack?

As he plotted inwardly,

Wei Donghai subtly signaled with winks and gestures, urging him to advance in tribute. But Yi Feng, absorbed in his scheme, overlooked these nudges entirely.

Noting his motionless stance for several breaths, the Star Master at last inquired.

"With your devotion to Cloud Planet's revival, you must be loyal and just. By rights, I should grant you a boon to advance your cultivation. Yet why this rudeness, hesitating to kneel and prostrate?"

"My tolerance has limits; I won't squander boons lightly nor abide discourtesy. Don't assume meager cultivation entitles arrogance."

As the grave tone echoed, tension thickened abruptly.

In the barren sands, no breeze stirred, no clouds shifted. A faint, dread pressure seeped out, leaving Wei Donghai visibly panicked.

Yi Feng snapped alert at last.

Grasping the words fully, no anxiety gripped him. Rather, his eyes sparkled.

He'd fretted over a strike excuse, and fate delivered it perfectly. The heavens favored him!

He strode forward boldly.

Cold-faced, brows knit, eyes aflame with combat zeal. Aligning with the mood and dialogue, he struck the ideal arrogant genius stance!

"Star Master or not, so what!"

"You believe Star Master prestige and mere words compel my kneel? No such rule exists! I, Yi Feng, kneel solely to the mighty. Force it? Prove your worth!"

His resonant voice thundered amid howling chill winds!

A frigid killing aura swept the area, draining all color from Wei Donghai's terrified face!
