Chapter 1277: Gathering of Super Mighty Figures
“What is it?” Yue Dou asked.
Hong Dou caught himself and shook his head vigorously. “I’m not going to say anything.”
He knew that he couldn’t speculate about things so easily.
Otherwise… he might become An Lin’s punching bag again!
Hong Dou turned toward An Lin and Lan Xiaoni before heaving a long sigh. He nodded with a knowing smile on his face, as if he were aware of some unspeakable insider information.
Don’t worry, Mr. An Lin, I’ll keep your secret!
After chatting for a while, everyone began to enter the Heavenly Palace.
The main venue for the Heavenly Peach Banquet was the Heavenly Palace.
They entered the palace and were instantly struck by the refreshing aroma of fruits.
An Lin only had to inhale once, and he felt as if all of the meridians within his body were melting. He felt as if he were about to ascend into the heavens!
“Ah… is this… the aroma of the heavenly peaches?!”
“Is this the legendary aroma of heavenly peaches that can extend one’s lifespan by a decade upon inhalation?”
“My God, it smells so good!”
All of the Four Nine Immortal Sect members were entranced by the glorious aroma.
Lin Junjun spoke with a smile, “That’s right. This is the joint aroma emanating from all of the spirit peaches that ripen once every century. All of you now have the right to sample three of those spirit peaches for free!”
Gulp…
All of the Four Nine Immortal Sect members swallowed involuntarily upon hearing this.
Just the aroma was already making their stomachs grumble, eating them must be a great delight!
They were right to have come to this Heavenly Peach Banquet!
Within the palace, iridescent light hovered in the air alongside elegant, flying spirit beasts, creating a beautiful, dreamy spectacle to behold.
A series of extremely intricate white tables and chairs were positioned according to a set pattern.
All of the powers had their own tables, which had been set up in advance.
There were plates of fruits laid out on every table, on which all types of delectable fruits had been placed.
What was most enticing to everyone was that there were three translucent, gorgeous fruits with iridescent light revolving around them on each plate, thereby indicating that these were no ordinary fruits.
These were undoubtedly the legendary heavenly peaches!
An Lin and the others eagerly arrived at the Four Nine Immortal Sect table with their eyes glued firmly on the plates before them.
Da Bai’s eyes were glowing as he prepared to pounce on the heavenly peaches on the table.
However, Lin Junjun grabbed him by the scruff of his neck before he could even jump up.
“The Celestial Thearch hasn’t even spoken yet, so you better calm down,” Lin Junjun warned.
“But I can’t control myself, woof!” Da Bai complained with an agonized expression.
At this moment, a thick and chunky white bone was suddenly placed into Da Bai’s mouth.
With the bone in his mouth, Da Bai turned with an astonished expression, only to discover a white dog with soft, beautiful features staring at him with a loving expression in her eyes.
“Be a good boy now. I’ll give this bone to you so that you have something to chew on before you get to sample the peaches.”
This white dog was none other than Qing Hua, who had arrived with the Mythological Beast Sect group.
Qing Hua winked at Da Bai as an enticing smile appeared on her face. “Da Bai, this is a bone that has been in my mouth…”
Da Bai’s body stiffened before shuddering.
At this moment, Qing Hua had already scurried away like an embarrassed little girl.
“What a thoughtful and caring soul mate!” Xue Zhantian waved his little wings as he sighed with emotion.
Da Bai: “…”
All of the Four Nine Immortal Sect members sat down in their chairs and silently awaited the commencement of the banquet.
One renowned powerful being after another entered the Heavenly Palace.
This was the first time An Lin had ever seen so many powerful beings in one place.
He could throw a peach with his eyes closed and hit a Return to Void Stage mighty figure without even trying. If he was lucky, he could even hit a Dao Integration Stage super mighty figure jackpot.
There were reportedly twelve Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures in attendance, which made seventeen in total with the addition of the five Heavenly Court emperors. This was a terrifying lineup.
An Lin also caught sight of an extremely terrifying woman here.
She was the Snake Spirit Clan Dao Integration Stage super mighty figure from the Spirit Lake Realm, Black Spirit Snake!
That’s right, Black Spirit Snake was here, and she had aimed a vicious glare at An Lin when she made her way into the Heavenly Palace. There was no mistaking her animosity and her killing intent.
An Lin instantly began to panic.
He was panicking much more now than when he was facing off against Liu Mingxuan.
No matter how powerful Liu Mingxuan was, he had to be wary of Lan Xiaoni and the Heavenly Court. However, Black Spirit Snake didn’t give a crap about any of that!
She had Nuwa as her backer, so who would be able to stop her?
Cold sweat began to appear on An Lin’s forehead as he thought of the bad blood between himself and Black Spirit Snake.
Why didn’t the Celestial Thearch invite the adorable White Spirit Snake instead of her?
He took a look at the Snake Spirit Clan group to discover that White Spirit Snake was nowhere to be seen.
It appeared that he was in even more danger than he had thought…
The Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures gradually gathered in the palace.
They consisted of the Snake Spirit Clan’s Black Spirit Snake, the Spirit Fish Clan’s Yu Feiyu, the Heavenly Turtle Tribe’s Gu Yu, the Heavenly Sword Sect’s Liu Mingxuan, the Vermilion Bird Sect’s Zhu Xuze, the Ten-Thousand Spirits Immortal Sect’s Xuanyuan Lun, Kui of the Mythological Beast Sect, the Buddhist Kingdom’s Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva, the Hall of Creation’s Wind Walker, the Stone Tribe’s Emperor Bo Lun, the Garden of Eden’s Holy Angel Michael, and the Spring Divine Tree Realm’s Patriarch Shen Teng.
The twelve Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures were undoubtedly the stars of the show.
The one that received the most attention below the twelve Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures was not a Return to Void Stage mighty figure. Instead, it was a Soul Formation Stage cultivator.
That’s right, this was none other than the small War God, An Lin!
There had been too much earth-shattering news surrounding An Lin recently. All of the representatives that had not seen An Lin in person all turned to appraise this legendary prodigy with curiosity in their eyes.
An Lin was actually a little nervous to be stared at by so many powerful beings.
He was so nervous that his white robe billowed out around him, giving him an even more graceful and elegant look.
“Look, Xiaolan, I’m quite popular. All of these representatives are looking at me,” An Lin spoke with a smug expression.
Xu Xiaolan rolled her eyes. “Being too popular and renowned is not a good thing.”
An Lin was perplexed. “Why’s that?”
Xu Xiaolan analyzed it with a serious expression and said, “If everyone knows what you look like and how bad*ss you are, anything that you do will be treated as normal no matter how bad*ss it is. In other words, you won’t have an audience to flex to.”
An Lin was astonished. He didn’t think that Xu Xiaolan would have such brilliant insight on this matter!
Not long after that.
The gates to the Heavenly Palace slowly closed.
The five emperors of the Heavenly Court stood up. Divine light rained down upon them, making them appear even more holy and majestic.
The Celestial Thearch, Emperor Ziwei, Emperor Tian Huang, Emperor Chang Sheng, and Emperor Qing Hua recited their secret scriptures to the heavens at the same time.
This was a very formal and solemn moment.
None of the living beings present dared to cause a commotion during this time. It was as if doing anything out of line at this moment would be insulting to the very heavens.
An Lin was also listening silently, but he couldn’t understand anything that was being said.
However, he found their voices to be indescribably soothing for some reason.
After listening to a long string of soothing gibberish, he finally heard something that he could understand.
“I hereby announce the official commencement of the Heavenly Peach Banquet!”
