Chapter 1328: Ordinary Life Is A Blessing

Half a month had passed in the blink of an eye.

Fengxue Island had returned to its normal routine, with Guo Jiannan once again taking charge of its affairs. The chaotic past had been put behind them, and the island was ushering in a new chapter.

Everyone was filled with excitement and emotion, and the spirit of resisting demons was palpable everywhere.

Logically speaking, Fengxue Island was quite renowned, and the change in leadership had brought about a fresh atmosphere. This should have caused a sensation, or at least attracted attention from all sides, allowing the island to regain its former glory.

Unfortunately.

Recently, all the major powers had gone into complete seclusion, with no time to pay attention to such matters. Everyone was too shocked by the recent legends.

It was said...

At the pole of Yuanxing, there existed the Cangyuan Palace, standing proudly above the sea of clouds for countless ages. It was the center of the entire Yuanxing, where the Star Lord resided, governing all living beings on the planet.

The palace was high above the clouds, a place few were fortunate enough to witness. It was located at the core of Yuanxing, gathering endless Dao essence and spiritual energy.

If an ordinary cultivator were lucky enough to enter, even for a brief moment, they would benefit immensely.

The Cangyuan Palace was the unparalleled sacred land of Yuanxing. Whether it was the powerful beings within, the creatures that existed there, or the spiritual energy that permeated the place, it was all beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

For countless ages, the Cangyuan Palace had been shrouded in mystery and awe, with no unusual events ever occurring. In the hearts of billions of cultivators, it was almost equivalent to a divine temple.

However.

Just a few days ago.

Dark clouds blotted out the sun and moon, completely engulfing the radiant sea of clouds around the Cangyuan Palace.

Endless darkness suddenly descended, as if some colossal entity had fallen, covering the sky and spreading its oppressive aura across the heavens and earth. Even countless powerful beings, who were shocked and tried to investigate, could only see a vague outline, their hearts filled with unknown fear!

That kind of oppressive force was unprecedented, making even the power of heaven and earth seem insignificant.

What was even more terrifying was that the great beings within the Cangyuan Palace couldn't even clearly see the true form of the entity. Gazing up at the vast shadow in the sky, they felt incredibly small.

Under that despair-inducing pressure.

A sword descended like divine punishment!

The sword's radiance spanned millions of miles, shaking heaven and earth, and moved even ghosts and gods to tears!

Even the great beings of the Cangyuan Palace were so shocked that their faces turned pale. They didn't dare to make any move, completely frozen in place.

The fleeting sword's radiance was etched into the hearts of everyone present. Despite their immense power, they couldn't even comprehend the lingering sword intent, feeling only terror, as if they had witnessed the descent of a true god.

After that moment, everything fell silent.

The heavens and earth returned to clarity, but the Cangyuan Palace was thrown into a state of unprecedented turmoil.

No one knew what had truly happened. The Star Lord was nowhere to be seen, and an unknown fear spread across millions of miles, quickly engulfing the entire Yuanxing. Even ancient beings who had been in seclusion for countless ages were shocked into deep slumber.

Only astonishing legends continued to circulate among the billions of cultivators. Many who had once prided themselves on their origins suddenly became filled with awe.

A single sword had shaken Yuanxing.

That mysterious and powerful figure was truly terrifying!

Although Yuanxing was considered a significant planet, in the vast universe, it was but a drop in the ocean, not an absolute pinnacle, and ultimately insignificant.

The Great Dao was not something ordinary people could comprehend, and these secrets were no different. Though they spread far and wide, even reaching neighboring planets and causing widespread shock, they were still beyond the understanding of ordinary folk.

The deeds of powerful cultivators, capable of moving mountains and seas, were already far beyond reach, let alone the terrifying rumors of a world-shaking sword.

On a barren, ordinary planet named Haixing.

In a small town nestled between mountains and rivers.

The long street was bustling with people, as peaceful as ever. Though it lacked the prosperity of distant cities, it was filled with the warmth of everyday life. The sounds of vendors calling out mixed with laughter and chatter, creating a lively atmosphere.

The town was surrounded by mountains on three sides, with rivers flowing by each face. It was a necessary stop for both land and water routes, and over time, it had become a thriving community.

Though the town seemed small, it had everything one might need.

Taverns and teahouses were everywhere, and merchants and travelers were a common sight.

Even a rare private school, which was hard to find within dozens of miles, had been established in a thatched cottage at the foot of the mountain. The environment was serene and secluded, making it an ideal place for teaching and nurturing young minds.

This thatched cottage, far from the noisy streets, provided a quiet space for the children to study. Though simple, it was neatly arranged, showing the locals' dedication to education.

As noon approached, the sound of children reciting lessons could still be heard in the small courtyard of the cottage.

"At the beginning of life, nature is good. Though natures are similar, habits make them far apart..."

Though the children's clothes were worn, their sincere eyes were filled with longing. They followed their teacher's recitation with utmost seriousness, never slacking off, showing a level of dedication beyond their years.

In their pure eyes, the figure of a young man dressed in white, exuding an air of scholarly elegance, was reflected.

Seeing the children so focused, Yi Feng felt a deep sense of satisfaction. He was filled with a sense of ease and contentment.

These children are truly teachable.

They will surely achieve great things.

As he was engrossed in teaching, a graceful figure appeared outside the window.

"Yi... Yi Laoshi."

The voice was gentle, with a hint of nervousness.

The children, being naturally curious, couldn't help but turn their heads. The lively lesson came to an abrupt halt.

Yi Feng didn't mind and followed the voice to look outside.

Standing by the window was a delicate young girl, about sixteen years old, dressed in simple clothes. Her natural beauty, even without any makeup, made her quite striking.

Recognizing the girl, Yi Feng smiled, put down his book, and walked to the door.

"Miss Wei."

"What brings you here today?"

The girl's name was Wei Xiaowei, a recent acquaintance.

Since Yi Feng had arrived in the town and, by chance, become a teacher, Wei Xiaowei's younger brother had the opportunity to study. Grateful for this, she often showed her concern for Yi Feng, checking in on him and offering small kindnesses.

Seeing Yi Feng approach with a warm smile and a gentle demeanor, the girl quickly bowed, looking a bit flustered.

"I'm sorry to disturb your teaching, please forgive me..."

After Yi Feng smiled and gestured for her to relax, she continued to explain.

"Yi Laoshi, we are all so grateful that you came to teach in our Qinghe Town. Thanks to you, the children here have the chance to learn and read."

"These things aren't much, but they are a token of our gratitude. Please, you must accept them!"

With that, Wei Xiaowei handed over two bamboo baskets from the window.

The baskets, though old, were clean and well-maintained, clearly having been carefully cleaned. One was filled with dried meat, fruits, and vegetables, while the other was packed with cloth and clothing.

These items immediately caught the attention of the children in the room.

Though Qinghe Town was a key transportation hub, it was often plagued by demon beasts. For the ordinary folk, having enough to eat and wear was their greatest dream. It was no exaggeration to say that these two baskets contained the most precious treasures.

Moved by the gesture, Yi Feng was about to politely decline.

But before he could speak, Wei Xiaowei pushed the baskets into his hands and then took out a letter from her sleeve, presenting it to him with both hands, her clear eyes filled with determination.

"Yi Laoshi."

"Our town has always been focused on survival, and many have turned to cultivation. But not everyone has the talent for it, and many can only do manual labor to get by. With you here to teach, the children now have another path in life. This kindness is greater than the heavens."

"We don't have much to offer in thanks, but please accept these small gifts and this letter. Please don't think poorly of them..."

As she spoke, Wei Xiaowei's face turned slightly red, and her eyes showed a hint of anxiety.

The children in the classroom also mustered their courage, standing up and bowing in unison, pleading with him.

"Laoshi, please accept them..."

"Laoshi, my father said if you don't take them, he'll spank me when I get home."

Faced with such heartfelt sincerity, Yi Feng had no choice but to agree.

"Alright, since that's the case, I'll accept them."

As soon as he spoke, the children cheered, and Wei Xiaowei, who had been waiting quietly at the door, finally smiled and stood up. A joyful atmosphere filled the small classroom.

In this moment of shared happiness, Yi Feng also smiled with contentment.

The warmth of human connections is what makes life meaningful.

Lately, he had been so busy, running around with his grand plans, that he hadn't had time to stop and reflect. The paths he had walked were too hurried, and he hadn't even had the chance to look back. It had all been quite exhausting.

Now, staying in this simple town, he felt truly at ease. It was as if he had returned to a simpler time, where his mind and body could relax. Finally, he could take a break.

Ordinary life is indeed a blessing, and there's no doubt about that.
