📖 Chapter 1015 - Young Master's Might!

30 Jun, 2023

The Raging Flame Galaxy was utterly enormous. Although Xie Haiyang’s space shuttle wasn’t slow, once he entered the Raging Flame Galaxy, he didn’t dare to accelerate to his maximum speed. He worried that if he was too fast, the Flame Patriarch would take it as him looking down on the Raging Flame Galaxy.

Thus, he moved at a moderate pace. Nevertheless, space shuttles were designed to traverse vast distances in the first place, so his speed was actually still quite fast. If he kept his course, it would take no more than four months to reach the Raging Flame Chief Planet.

“The Flame Patriarch experienced a tragedy in the past when he formed a life and death feud with the Never-Ending Clan. His personality became eccentric, and his mood changes at the drop of a hat. Although I’ve met him several times before, an old monster like him can’t be judged using common sense.” Xie Haiyang inhaled deeply. He had prepared a huge gift in order to be received as a disciple. Although he was confident in his chances of success, he was still a little worried.

After all, the matter this time was related to the life and death of his father. He was so anxious that he even halted all his businesses to prepare for the trip here.

“There are just too many rumors about the Flame Patriarch. But in my opinion, the truth should be that the Flame Patriarch’s disciples truly died, but they left behind remnant souls… Now, their remnant souls are being sheltered in the Raging Flame Galaxy…

“The one I’m looking for should be one of them. Moreover, there’s a 70% chance that it’s his second disciple, Ling Shenzi^[1]!” A contemplative expression appeared on Xie Haiyang’s face. After a while, he sighed.

“Although success will be difficult, it’s not like I don’t have anyone to help me. I heard that Wang Baole was recently accepted as a disciple of the Flame Patriarch. That fatty is lustful and greedy for money. I should be able to get some inside info by bribing him.” When his thoughts reached this point, Xie Haiyang’s spirits lifted. He felt that success wasn’t far away.

Near the Raging Flame Chief Planet a vast distance away, Wang Baole suddenly sneezed.

“Someone’s thinking about me!” Wang Baole, who was shooting through the starry sky, paused and looked around suspiciously. After noticing nothing unusual, he scratched his head. This was the Raging Flame Galaxy, and he was the disciple of the Flame Patriarch. There probably wasn’t anyone who dared to provoke him here.

“Hmph, even if there is someone who’s so blind as to pick a fight with me, they probably don’t know that every existence here is my master, right?” Wang Baole sneered. He didn’t pay any more attention to the feeling just now, instead accelerating once again and turning into a long arc of light that shot into the distance.

His target was the asteroid belt located near the Eternal Star of the Scorching Spirit Civilization! The Scorching Spirit Civilization was located in the southeast part of the Raging Flame Galaxy, classified as Raging Flame District 137.

According to the jade slip containing info on the Raging Flame Galaxy, there was a huge number of asteroids in that asteroid belt. It was perfect for him to practice his Star-Sealing Art.

“Raging Flame District 137…” As he shot through the starry sky, Wang Baole recalled the information on the Raging Flame Galaxy. There were a total of 449 Eternal Stars in the star system.

Each Eternal Star was home to a civilization that had attached themselves to the Flame Patriarch as a subsidiary force. These civilizations all paid yearly tribute in order to take shelter under the Flame Patriarch’s banner.

The Scorching Spirit Civilization of Raging Flame District 137 was one of them. The strongest cultivator there had reached the late stage of the Eternal Star Realm, and there were several Planet Realm cultivators as well. In terms of strength, the Scorching Spirit Civilization was considered middle of the pack in the Raging Flame Galaxy. Scorching Spirit cultivators generally weren’t qualified to enter the Raging Flame Chief Planet to pay respects. It was only when the Flame Patriarch celebrated his birthday every hundred years that they would be allowed to step onto the chief planet.

As far as these subsidiary civilizations were concerned, the Raging Flame Chief Planet was a holy land, the Flame Patriarch was like a god, and the Flame Patriarch’s sixteen disciples were like saints. A single word from any one of the sixteen saints could determine the life and death of an entire civilization.

After all… the Flame Patriarch’s overprotective nature was famous not only in the outside world, but also in the Raging Flame Galaxy itself.

Thus, although Wang Baole hadn’t been in the Raging Flame Galaxy for long, and he hadn’t told many people about this trip… every time he passed a civilization, the civilization’s strongest cultivator would immediately fly out and respectfully send him off.

Those who could be considered the strongest in a civilization were basically all powerhouses at the Eternal Star Realm. Their appearances were all different, but their divine abilities and natures were all inclined to the natural law of fire. Although Wang Baole didn’t know a single one, all of them had various information channels and naturally knew what the Flame Patriarch’s sixteenth disciple looked like. They bowed their heads respectfully as they paid their respects, looking like servants or even slaves.

At first, Wang Baole was completely astonished.

After all, he already believed Little Missy’s words and was now operating under the assumption that everyone he met was a clone of his master. Now that he left the Raging Flame Chief Planet and came across the first respectful Eternal Star Realm cultivator, his first reaction was to suspect that they were also a clone of his master.

Normally speaking, this was almost impossible. After all, for one man to create countless clones and become every single person in hundreds of civilizations was extremely unlikely. However, the past few months had made Wang Baole quite paranoid.

But when he noticed the Eternal Star Realm cultivator bowing their head in greeting, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

‘It’s not Master. With Master’s personality, he wouldn’t let even a clone bow down to me. His bottom line is probably, at most, bowing down to himself…’

After coming to this conclusion, Wang Baole finally relaxed a little. However, he was a little uncomfortable accepting the worshipful greetings of all these Eternal Star Realm cultivators. Nevertheless, as he passed through more civilizations and was greeted by more Eternal Star Realm powerhouses, he had no choice but to adapt, and a certain satisfied emotion even began to emerge from his heart.

‘This actually feels pretty good… but it’s due to Master’s strength, not my own. I can’t let myself get immersed in this feeling.. Only when I obtain respect because of my own strength will I have the right to truly feel good about myself!’ A bright light appeared in Wang Baole’s eyes, and he suddenly remembered having read similar words in the autobiographies of the high officials.

“The purpose of borrowing another’s power is not for suppressing others, nor is it for the sake of my own pleasure or vanity. Instead, it’s… to create an environment where I can advance smoothly and rapidly!” Wang Baole muttered. His heart gradually became calm again, and he continued speeding toward District 137.

Finally, half a month later, he arrived at Raging Flame District 137. In the distance, he saw the brightly burning Eternal Star, as well as the ring of asteroids surrounding it!

At that moment, there were six figures in front of him. They weren’t humans, but existences similar to fire spirits. Their leader had a purple mark between his brows, and he suppressed his Eternal Star Realm aura as he bowed down to Wang Baole.

The five fire spirits behind him also bowed down, transmitting their divine will to Wang Baole and expressing words containing boundless respect.

“Greetings, Sixteenth Young Master!”

Wang Baole paused, sweeping his gaze over these six fire spirits, then at the asteroid belt outside the distant Eternal Star. He opened his mouth and spoke indifferently.

“Stand guard for me!”

After that one sentence, he flickered past those six cultivators and shot straight toward the Eternal Star. His figure soon disappeared within the asteroid belt.

However, the words he left behind were like the will of heaven to the Scorching Spirit Civilization. Thus, under the orders of the Eternal Star Realm patriarch, the entire Scorching Spirit Civilization was sealed off. Even the surrounding civilizations all sealed themselves off. Moreover, those civilizations’ Eternal Star Realm powerhouses all quickly arrived in the Scorching Spirit Civilization. More than twenty civilizations had sealed themselves off, and just as many Eternal Star Realm Almighties were now sitting cross-legged around the Scorching Spirit Civilization’s Eternal Star, standing guard for Wang Baole as Dharma Protectors.

At the same time, there were dozens of Planet Realm experts, as well as dense armies of battleships flying out from each civilization, causing the Scorching Spirit Civilization to instantly become like an impregnable fortress. Moreover, as more and more nearby civilizations came to know that Wang Baole was training in the Scorching Spirit Civilization, all of them sealed themselves off and sent out their own forces, causing the fortifications to grow even more exaggerated. Finally, after a month passed, almost half of the Raging Flame Galaxy had been locked down!

In fact, these civilizations couldn’t be blamed for their eagerness. After so many years, those young masters from the Raging Flame Chief Planet almost never took notice of them. Now that there was a rare opportunity to catch one’s eye, they couldn’t help but go all out.

And thus… Xie Haiyang, who was far away from the Scorching Spirit Civilization as he flew toward the Raging Flame Chief Planet, was ordered to stop his shuttle!

“Under Young Master’s orders, this area is sealed off. Violators shall be killed without mercy. You there, halt at once!”
