After Wang Baole's order, he had waited a full seven days … before Xie Haiyang arrived. Xie Haiyang couldn't be blamed for being negligent, as his location was some distance away from Wang Baole. He had done his best in these seven days, and even had the help of a star. Otherwise, it would have taken him at least half a month, or even longer.
Fortunately, Wang Baole wasn't impatient. During these seven days, he sat cross-legged outside the Blaze Spirit civilization's star, consolidating his divine abilities while also familiarizing himself with the Star Sealing Art's operation and execution.
Finally, when Wang Baole had mastered the Star Sealing Art to the point where he could release it in an instant to form a powerful divine ability, and shrink it to cover his entire body as a form of protection, Xie Haiyang had arrived.
In the distance, Xie Haiyang had stepped into the Blaze Spirit civilization. When he saw Wang Baole outside the distant star, his entire body emitting astonishing ripples, he was greatly shaken.
On the one hand, it had been a long time since he last saw Wang Baole. Wang Baole's cultivation was worlds apart from when he had first met Wang Baole, and that shocked him greatly. On the other hand, the Eternal Star realm cultivators who surrounded Wang Baole respectfully seemed ready to go to war for him with just a word from Wang Baole. It made him realize that Wang Baole's status was completely different from before!
All of this caused Xie Haiyang to take a deep breath, and he immediately adjusted his state of mind. Hence, at the instant he approached, he immediately called out loudly.
"Xie Haiyang greets the Blaze Galaxy's Sixteenth Young Master!" With that, he clasped his hands and bowed deeply.
Almost at the same time, Wang Baole, who had been sitting cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes. The moment he saw Xie Haiyang, he immediately stood up, a smile on his face. In a flash, he went forward to greet him, his laughter echoing in all directions.
"Brother Haiyang, there's no need to be so polite. We're old friends, there's no need for this." Wang Baole approached amidst his laughter, helping Xie Haiyang up with a sincere look in his eyes.
"All these years, if it weren't for Brother Haiyang's help, I wouldn't have come this far. Brother Haiyang, I won't bow to you, and you don't have to bow to me either."
Xie Haiyang was touched when he heard that. He pressed down hard on Wang Baole's arm.
"My help was insignificant. It was all because of your own ability that you were able to get to where you are today. Brother Baole, don't underestimate yourself!"
"Brother Ocean!"
"Brother Baole!"
Their voices were very loud, and their expressions were very warm, as if they were old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years. Their chatter and laughter were filled with emotion. The surrounding people also looked at them, feeling the friendship between the two of them. They must be like gentlemen, supporting and respecting each other, and neither of them claimed credit for themselves.
But in reality … these onlookers still didn't understand Xie Haiyang and Wang Baole. Xie Haiyang seemed to be enthusiastic, but he was also jealous. After all, Wang Baole had changed too much. Previously, he was only a Spirit Immortal, but now, he was a mid-stage Planet realm. Even though he had Laozu's protection, Xie Haiyang was still slightly shocked by the waves of energy emitted from his body.
And all of this, apart from his identity as Laozu's disciple, the main reason for the change in his cultivation was obviously the trip to the Graveyard of Stars.
What made Xie Haiyang feel jealous was the trip to the Graveyard of Stars!
This was because if it weren't for the unexpected situation that happened to his father, causing him to have no time to care about the Graveyard of Stars quota and immediately rush back to deal with it, then … according to his previous plan, step by step, the quota for the Violet Gold civilization should have been obtained by him in the end.
Then, regardless of whether he sold it or gave it away, he would have reaped great benefits. But now … everything was in the past.
However, as a businessman, he could adjust very quickly. Hence, it was inevitable that his smile had a commercialized look that outsiders couldn't see.
At the same time, he was thinking about how to make use of his previous business relationship with Wang Baole to achieve his own goals.
As for Wang Baole, he naturally saw this familiar smile at a glance, but he didn't mind at all. This was because although his smile wasn't commercialized, the focus of his enthusiasm was more on the benefits that Wang Baole could bring. After all, what he lacked the most now was Ordinary Star, and Xie Haiyang's arrival gave Wang Baole hope.
That had always been the relationship between the two of them. In Xie Haiyang's eyes, the jealousy had dissipated, and he had regained his rationality. Wang Baole's value to Xie Haiyang had also changed. It had increased the value of his previous investment.
In Wang Baole's eyes, although they couldn't become close friends, the value of each other was the most stable relationship. Hence, as they chatted and laughed, after learning that Xie Haiyang was going to visit his master, Wang Baole immediately invited Xie Haiyang to go with him to the Blazing Flame capital planet.
"Brother Baole, you're so kind to invite me. I won't stand on ceremony." Xie Haiyang laughed and chatted with Wang Baole. Escorted by a large number of cultivators from the Blazing Flame galaxy, they flew to the Blazing Flame capital planet. On the way, the two of them talked about the past and unconsciously talked about the Graveyard of Stars.
"Brother Baole, it's interesting. Some time ago, someone asked me if I had an elder brother named Xie Dalu. I told him that my elder brother's name wasn't Xie Dalu, but I have a younger brother named Xie Dalu." As Xie Haiyang spoke, he looked at Wang Baole with a faint smile. He didn't say this to make things difficult for Wang Baole. He was hinting that he knew that Wang Baole had borrowed the name of the Xie family, so he owed him a favor.
Wang Baole laughed when he heard this.
"I've embarrassed myself in front of you, Brother Haiyang. I had my reasons at the time. After I came back, I encountered an urgent matter, so I didn't explain it to you immediately. But I think Brother Haiyang won't mind. After all, Brother Haiyang helped me a lot to obtain a place in the Graveyard of Stars." Wang Baole also smiled faintly and nodded at Xie Haiyang. His words were an explanation and also a hint. Xie Haiyang's series of arrangements for the place in the Graveyard of Stars, whether it was the burial ground of the Divine Eye royal family at the beginning or the rescue at Wang Baole's request, all of them were hidden in the dark. They wanted to use Wang Baole to obtain a place. Wang Baole had seen through this, so there was no such thing as a favor.
Xie Haiyang laughed when he heard this. His expression was normal, as if he didn't catch the hint. However, he didn't talk about the Graveyard of Stars anymore. Instead, he talked to Wang Baole about the past of the Federation.
Wang Baole also smiled as he talked about the past with Xie Haiyang. The two of them were getting closer and closer to the main planet of the Inferno Star. Finally, when the main planet of the Inferno Star was in sight, Xie Haiyang casually mentioned Wang Baole's cultivation. Wang Baole blinked when he heard this and also sighed casually.
"After coming to the Inferno Star System, I realized that the cost of cultivation was so great. Just the Star Sealing Technique requires tens of thousands of ordinary stars." Wang Baole could already tell that Xie Haiyang had come to the Inferno Star System to ask for something. Although he didn't know what it was, it didn't prevent him from directly saying what he needed.
"It's so great?" Xie Haiyang thought that Wang Baole was asking for an exorbitant price. He hadn't even said what he needed help with yet, but Xie Haiyang had already asked for tens of thousands of ordinary stars. Therefore, a difficult expression appeared on his face.
"Brother Baole, I'll keep an eye out for you later. However, tens of thousands of ordinary stars is not cheap. But since you're my brother, I'll do my best to help. Besides, since you need ordinary stars … I have some here. Take it as a gift for our reunion after a long separation." Saying this, Xie Haiyang generously took out a storage pouch from his chest and handed it to Wang Baole.
Wang Baole didn't stand on ceremony. He took the pouch and scanned it. When he saw that there was a single ordinary star inside, his eyes instantly narrowed. Xie Haiyang's gift seemed to be only one, but the price of an ordinary star was astonishing. Therefore, although this gift wasn't very expensive, it wasn't small either.
From this, it could be seen that Xie Haiyang had come to the Inferno Star System to ask for something big. Therefore, Wang Baole stroked the storage pouch and didn't put it away immediately. Instead, he looked at Xie Haiyang.
"Brother Haiyang, if you have something to say, just say it. What do you need me to do?"
Xie Haiyang smiled. After thinking for a while, he spoke softly.
"Brother Baole, I want you to introduce me to one of your Senior Brothers or Senior Sisters … and if necessary, help me put in a good word. After the matter is settled, I'll give you another ordinary star."
Wang Baole was stunned. He raised his eyebrows, secretly thinking that his Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters were actually Masters. However, he naturally couldn't tell Xie Haiyang that. At the same time, although one or two ordinary stars were valuable, it was a bit low to ask him to introduce and put in a good word for them. It was considered as using his favor to help, but that was a bit too low. It wasn't sincere enough … but after thinking for a while, he still asked.
"Which Senior Brother or Senior Sister of mine do you want to see?"
