After An Lin put the heavenly peach trees into his storage ring, a loud and clear voice sounded in the sky above.
“All nine heavenly peach trees have been taken.
“All contestants will now be ejected.”
This voice was audible throughout this entire world.
Lan Xiaoni was still struggling through the cherry blossom forest when she heard this voice, and an expression of disappointment appeared on her face. “What a pity. I wanted to take a heavenly peach tree for myself.”
Elsewhere within the cherry blossom forest.
Holy Flames and lightning roared as they clashed with a beam of golden Buddhist light. The shockwaves of their collisions tore through the earth and surrounding cherry blossom trees around them.
An exquisitely beautiful woman and a benevolent Bodhisattva both stopped in their tracks.
Xu Xiaolan looked up at the sky with a hint of surprise. “It’s already over?”
A Bodhisattva with the light of wisdom emanating from her body spoke in a slow voice, “Amitabha… Benefactress, our battle no longer has any meaning, so we should both just cease this now.”
She was the Dao Integration Stage super mighty figure of the Buddhist Kingdom, Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva.
Soon, golden lights enshrouded the bodies of everyone within the Small World.
Little Xie also jumped back into An Lin’s Evil-Slaying Sword.
Spatial power swept forth, and everyone returned to the Heavenly Palace in the blink of an eye.
“They’re back!”
“Congratulations, Sect Leader!”
“Four Nine Immortal Sect for the win!”
“Chef God An Lin, are you going to cook a few specialty dishes with all those heavenly peaches?”
Many representatives from different powers all made their way over to offer congratulatory words.
The Four Nine Immortal Sect’s performance in this battle for heavenly peaches was absolutely exemplary. They were by far the most dazzling power of all, which was why countless mighty figures gathered around to endorse them.
There were also many mighty figures who wanted to hug his sword spirit, Little Xie, but An Lin rejected all of them. He couldn’t let just anyone get their dirty paws on his Little Xie!
Xiaolan was still a little dumbstruck by the abrupt ending to the battle for the heavenly peaches, but she was ecstatic upon discovering that the Four Nine Immortal Sect had secured the final three heavenly peach trees.
She encircled her arms around An Lin’s with a vibrant smile on her face. “An Lin, how are you so awesome? I want to eat three heavenly peaches!”
“Hell, no!” An Lin immediately turned her down.
Before Xu Xiaolan flared up with rage, An Lin continued, “Three? You need to have thirty!”
The surrounding mighty figures’ hearts jolted upon hearing this. How bad*ss!
Some of the Heavenly Court Celestial Maidens had also turned toward him with expressions of yearning.
If only their dao partners were as awesome as An Lin.
Lan Xiaoni made her way over to An Lin with a smile. “I was all depressed for nothing! If Big Boss An Lin took the remaining three heavenly peach trees, then I have nothing to be sad about!”
The mermaid princess’ gloomy mood was completely swept away in an instant.
After returning to the Four Nine Immortal Sect table, all of the spectating members gave them a raucous hero’s welcome.
The Celestial Thearch took the stage again with an elated smile on his face. “The Four Nine Immortal Sect is the big winner of this battle for the heavenly peaches. I’ll now invite Sect Leader An Lin onto the stage to deliver an address.”
Among the nine heavenly peach trees, the Four Nine Immortal Sect had secured five, the Hall of Creation secured one, the Ten-Thousand Spirits Immortal Sect secured one, the Spring Divine Tree Realm secured one, and the Wild Illusionary Shadow Tribe secured one…
The Four Nine Immortal Sect was undoubtedly the biggest winner by far.
An Lin was a little taken aback by the Celestial Thearch’s words. He didn’t know he would have to deliver a speech.
However, he had been through a lot, so something like this certainly wasn’t going to make him nervous.
“Our Four Nine Immortal Sect is a sect that champions peaceful development. We try to cater to others in everything that we do. As such, we have only taken half of the available heavenly peach trees!”
Deathly silence ensued as his voice fell.
The five emperors of the Heavenly Court were astonished. All of the representatives from other powers were astonished. Even those sitting at the Four Nine Immortal Sect table were astonished!
An Lin sure dared to talk!
Cater for others my f*cking a*s!
What he was saying was that the Four Nine Immortal Sect was the equivalent of all of the other ninety-nine first-rate sects across the entire Tai Chu Continent!
How completely and utterly impudent!
However, for some reason, even though all of the mighty figures and powerful beings present were astonished by his words, very few were actually disdainful toward him. Instead, most of them were envious toward or in admiration of him.
Those who talked the talk but could not walk the walk were impudent and arrogant.
However, those who could also walk the walk were instead ambitious and proud.
An Lin’s Four Nine Immortal Sect had indeed secured over half of the heavenly peaches during this Heavenly Peach Banquet, so he did have the right to say this as it was nothing but the truth!
Many of the top-rate young prodigies were already beginning to cheer and applaud.
They now had a new role model in this miraculous man! They envisioned the day when they would be able to deliver such a rousing and domineering speech in the Heavenly Palace. What a day that would be!
Soon, enthusiastic applause and cheers erupted throughout the entire palace.
An Lin extended a smiling salute toward all of the mighty figures before taking a seat.
That was some flex!
Liu Mingxuan looked at the man under the limelight as countless complex emotions ran through his heart.
How had this man become so dazzling and eye-catching all of a sudden?
Zhu Shan had been completely defeated and was dejected to the extreme, so much that she didn’t even engage in her forte of running her mouth anymore.
What could she say to a man who had taken five heavenly peach trees? Could she say that he was trash for not securing the other four heavenly peach trees as well?
That would be an insult to everyone here, including her own husband…
Lin Junjun couldn’t help but burst into laughter at the sight of An Lin’s epic flex. “You sure are an extraordinary man, An Lin!”
Meanwhile, An Lin was beginning to distribute and allocate the heavenly peaches.
“Taking away the thirty heavenly peaches I gave to Hong Dou, we have a total of four hundred and seventy heavenly peaches!” An Lin spoke with a scorching light shimmering in his eyes.
Everyone’s breathing accelerated upon hearing this.
They had only been able to eat three heavenly peaches each.
But now, there were four hundred and seventy peaches available to them!
“Those five heavenly peach trees are also going to be very handy,” Bai Ling said with a smile. “Even though the heavenly peach trees can only survive in the Heavenly Court’s Heavenly Peach Orchard, I should definitely be able to use technology to replicate those conditions and plant the five heavenly peach trees at our sect!”
Everyone was even more ecstatic upon hearing this!
“So that means we can enjoy heavenly peaches in the future even without coming to the Heavenly Court?” Da Bai yelled with excitement as drool rolled down his chin.
“Alright, calm down guys. This is not something that’s going to happen in a day or two, so just let Big Sister Bai do her thing.” An Lin clapped his hands with an expression that was filled with anticipation. “Let’s make a decision on how to distribute the heavenly peaches.”
Everyone nodded eagerly.
An Lin smiled and puffed out his chest. “Alright then, who was the MVP for this battle for the heavenly peaches?!”
Everyone yelled out a name in unison, “Little Xie!”
An Lin: “???”
