đź“– Chapter 1007 - The Different Second Senior Brother!
When Wang Baole heard those words, he immediately became vigilant. He suddenly recalled what the old ox had told him before – in the Raging Flame Galaxy, he had to always speak his mind, and absolutely could not resort to empty flattery and deceitful words…
But at that moment, his expression turned solemn, and he spoke in a low voice.
“Fifteenth Senior Brother has misunderstood me. Master is wise and powerful. There’s definitely profound meaning in whatever he does, and I dare not fathom his thoughts.”
Fifteenth couldn’t help but curl his lips in response.
“Little Sixteenth, you’re being dishonest. If you keep going like this… well, when we see Seventh Senior Brother later on, you’ll know the consequences of insincerity.”
Fifteenth seemed to think that Wang Baole was a bit tactless and didn’t speak any more. Although he still bounced around like an enoki mushroom as he walked, he didn’t say a word to Wang Baole as they went to pay respects to Twelfth and Eleventh Senior Sisters.
After Wang Baole met Twelfth Senior Sister, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Since arriving in the Raging Flame Galaxy, she was the only normal person he’d met. Her cultivation base was at the Eternal Star Realm, and not only was this Twelfth Senior Sister elegant and beautiful, she was also gentle and considerate. When they visited her pagoda, she gave Wang Baole some tips on cultivation and also personally saw him and Fifteenth off when they left.
Moreover, she even took out a bottle of medicinal pills and handed it to Wang Baole when he was leaving.
“Sixteenth Junior Brother, these pills are called Divine Replenishment Condensate. There are seven pills in total. Take one when you’re critically injured, and your body and mind will recover significantly within a stick of incense’s worth of time.”
As for Eleventh Senior Sister, although she was very normal compared to Thirteenth and Fourteenth Senior Brothers, her personality seemed to be the opposite of Twelfth Senior Sister’s. She was neither elegant nor gentle, but extremely domineering instead. A fiery power radiated off of her that seemed like it would erupt at any moment. She was also at the Eternal Star Realm, so her eruption would definitely be terrifying!
And her personality was clearly reflected in her speech. As soon as she met Wang Baole, she directly asked him a difficult question.
“Sixteenth Junior Brother, since you’ve met the other junior disciples, you must have some understanding of our Raging Flame Galaxy, right? Tell me, after meeting those guys, what do you think about Master’s behavior?”
Wang Baole was instantly put on the spot. Although Fifteenth had asked a similar question, Eleventh Senior Sister gave off a lot more pressure, be it her cultivation base or general personality. After a moment of hesitation, Wang Baole braced himself and cupped his fists.
“Replying to Eleventh Senior Sister, Master is unfathomable and incomparably profound. Someone of my lowly cultivation base is naturally unable to comprehend his ways, but I can faintly sense his love and expectations for his disciples.”
Wang Baole still didn’t speak his true thoughts. Although the old ox had told him that boot-licking was forbidden in the Raging Flame Galaxy, Wang Baole felt that there was no one in the world who would dislike a little flattery. Even if there was, that would only be because the flatterer wasn’t good enough.
Moreover, everything Wang Baole had seen since arriving in the Raging Flame Galaxy filled him with a sense of absurdity. He always felt that things weren’t as they seemed, as if there was something going on beyond his comprehension.
There seemed to be an invisible veil covering everything, leaving him unable to analyze matters clearly. In such circumstances, he naturally had to speak a little cautiously.
When Eleventh Senior Sister heard Wang Baole’s words, her expression didn’t change in the slightest. No emotions could be seen on her face as she shook her head, giving Wang Baole a deep look and speaking indifferently.
“Someone with your personality shouldn’t have come to the Raging Flame Galaxy.” With that, Eleventh Senior Sister waved a hand. Wang Baole was immediately swept up by a wave of heat, along with Fifteenth, who hadn’t said a word thus far, and sent out of Eleventh Senior Sister’s pagoda.
Once outside, Fifteenth glanced at Wang Baole and sighed, muttering in a quiet voice.
“Eleventh Senior Sister hates insincere words more than anything.”
Wang Baole smiled wryly. Taking one last look at Eleventh Senior Sister’s pagoda, he shook his head and didn’t speak. After muttering, Fifteenth also didn’t say anything else and just brought Wang Baole around to greet the remaining senior brothers and sisters. Since neither of them were in the mood to speak much, greeting the senior disciples took less time than before.
Two hours later, Wang Baole and Fifteenth had finished greeting eight more people, from Tenth Senior Brother to Third Senior Brother. Among these eight people, most were relatively normal, causing the feeling of absurdity in Wang Baole’s heart to gradually weaken.
For example, Tenth Senior Brother was extremely buff and looked like a giant. His fleshly body was extremely powerful, and his qi and blood surged with inexorable might. Approaching him was like approaching a blazing furnace, and Wang Baole felt that this Tenth Senior Brother seemed to be much stronger than Eleventh Senior Sister, be it in terms of cultivation base or overall battle prowess.
Although Tenth Senior Brother seemed reserved by nature, he was also kindhearted. After Wang Baole paid his respects, Tenth Senior Brother gave him a bottle of beast blood. It was the blood of an Eternal Star Realm demonic beast, and applying it on a person’s body would give them a permanent boost to their physical might.
Ninth Senior Sister was also normal, although the death qi on her body was a little heavy. As for Sixth Senior Brother and Fifth Senior Sister, just like Twelfth Senior Sister, they were more or less normal people. Their cultivation bases were also at the Eternal Star Realm, and after receiving Wang Baole’s greetings, they also gave him a welcome gift.
As for Fourth Senior Brother, he was currently outside the Raging Flame Galaxy to gain experience, so Wang Baole didn’t end up meeting him. Aside from these people, the remaining ones were all more or less weirdos.
For example, Eighth Senior Brother was a dwarf and only reached up to Wang Baole’s waist. His whole being exuded bizarre fluctuations that seemed to affect a person’s mind, and his creepy smile as well as his mouth full of black teeth made Wang Baole’s hair stand on end. A sense of danger seemed to arise from his very instincts when he faced this Eighth Senior Brother.
As for the Seventh Senior Brother that Fifteenth had mentioned earlier…
This person was both normal and abnormal. The normal part was that, be it his words or actions, he was refined and elegant, the perfect picture of a gentleman. He even brewed some spirit tea for Wang Baole, and he displayed an all-encompassing knowledge of the world when he spoke.
As for the abnormal part… his whole body was bruised and swollen, giving him a wretched appearance. After greeting him and taking their leave, Fifteenth, who hadn’t said a word to Wang Baole along the way, suddenly snorted and transmitted his voice.
“Sixteenth Junior Brother, do you see now? Seventh Senior Brother was originally so handsome, but he kept boot-licking Master and refused to speak honestly. Then… ya know, Master got mad and beat him up… Seventh Senior Brother gets beaten up basically every month, and I can barely even remember his original appearance anymore.”
Wang Baole gasped.
“So, Little Sixteenth, you have to remember never to speak insincerely. Be honest, and don’t try to flatter Master pointlessly.”
While Wang Baole’s heart was shaken by the story of Seventh Senior Brother, Fifteenth brought him to Third Senior Brother’s pagoda. In Third Senior Brother’s case… it wasn’t really that he was abnormal, but that his appearance was too surprising.
He was actually a flaming ox, and no matter how you looked at him, he seemed similar to the old ox Flame Ghost who had brought Wang Baole here. If Wang Baole heard anyone say that this Third Senior Brother was unrelated to the old ox, he definitely wouldn’t believe them. That was even more so when he saw how Fifteenth treated Third Senior Brother with absolute respect and attentiveness.
Third Senior Brother’s attitude was somewhat lukewarm, and he quickly sent the pair away after only speaking a few words. Wang Baole had wanted to get to know him better, but he had no choice but to follow Fifteenth and go pay respects to Second Senior Brother.
After meeting so many senior brothers and sisters already, Wang Baole felt that he was prepared for anything. But when he met Second Senior Brother, he was still astonished. He actually couldn’t sense Second Senior Brother’s cultivation base at all; there were no fluctuations of the Eternal Star Realm coming off of him, and he was also completely different from any Star Domain Realm Almighties that Wang Baole had encountered. In fact, this Second Senior Brother… didn’t seem like a cultivator at all!
Moreover, although Second Senior Brother looked like a handsome and refined middle-aged man, with star-like eyes that made him seem even more extraordinary… Wang Baole had a strange feeling that this Second Senior Brother didn’t really exist.
It was like there was a gap in cognition between his eyes and his divine sense, and the Second Senior Brother in front of him… was only what the other party wanted him to see.
This feeling made Wang Baole slightly nervous, and Fifteenth instantly noticed his discomfort. Although they were still in front of Second Senior Brother, he still lowered his voice and whispered to Wang Baole.
“Sixteenth Junior Brother, Second Senior Brother’s cultivation is different from ours. He cultivates the Divine Dao of Burning Incense. It could even be said that he doesn’t really exist in this world, but is born from the midst of burning incense… To a certain extent, Second Senior Brother is like an undying and inextinguishable god!”
