Almost the exact same speech was delivered again.
Last time, all of the sect representatives felt that An Lin was insane but also extremely exceptional.
The Four Nine Immortal Sect had already dominated half of one event through a combination of power and luck.
However, the Four Nine Immortal Sect had continued on to dominate half of the second event, crushing all of the other ninety-nine powers beneath their feet. This was getting a little absurd now.
After delivering that address, An Lin stood proudly in the Heavenly Palace, and his expression remained firm and tranquil under the scrutiny of seventeen Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures and close to two thousand Return to Void Stage and Soul Formation Stage powerful beings.
He was as dazzling and eye-catching as the sun.
People like Zhu Shan were already far too humiliated to even look at him.
Lin Junjun heaved a faint sigh and was starting to regret making that deal with An Lin. “What a crazy b*stard!”
All of the representatives could sense an unyielding pride surging beneath An Lin’s tranquil expression.
If a normal person tried to flex, they would come under a collective attack from everyone present.
However, no one had anything to say now as the flexer was the mighty An Lin, who had won their respect and even reverence with his actions!
Deathly silence ensued for several seconds before a tsunami wave of applause rang out!
All of the representatives cheered and applauded for An Lin with all their might, especially those representatives who had received An Lin’s help in picking out spirit fruits.
No one knew what heights An Lin would scale to in the future, but one thing was for sure; he was very bad*ss now, and he would only become more bad*ss in the future!
Anyone who tried to engage An Lin in a war of words now would either be suicidal or severely lacking in brain cells.
Thus, An Lin sat back down with a calm and collected expression amid the waves of raucous applause.
Xue Zhantian pounced toward An Lin excitedly. “Master, you are my lifelong role model! That speech you just delivered struck me with a profound sense of awe and veneration! I feel like I almost ascended into the sky upon hearing it!”
An Lin slapped Xue Zhantian aside before turning to the woman beside him. “Xiaolan, what do you think?”
“It’s the same speech, but the execution was even more impressive than the last time,” Xu Xiaolan replied with a smile. “Even I was stunned by you there!”
“Hahaha… Your dao partner is no ordinary man! He must be a man who is going to stand at the pinnacle of the world someday!” An Lin was getting a little carried away.
Xu Xiaolan rolled her eyes. “Alright, let’s allocate the fruits first.”
“Allocate the fruits? There are twenty people here and twenty fruits, so everyone can just keep their respective fruits.” An Lin cocked his head to the side with confusion on his face.
“That’s not fair, Master. A noob like me does not deserve an immortal peach,” Xiao Hong protested in her sweet voice.
An Lin: “…”
What could he say to a beast pet with so much self-awareness?
“I think we should distribute the fruits according to everyone’s contributions.” Bai Ling suggested, “An Lin was undoubtedly the MVP, so he deserves two immortal peaches. Does anyone have any objections to that?”
Everyone shook their heads with justified expressions.
Bai Ling continued, “Xu Xiaolan should take one immortal peach as well. We’ll split the remaining three immortal fruits among the eighteen of us, then contribute the fourteen spirit fruits to our sect’s resources.”
Bai Ling’s allocation method was quite reasonable, so no one had any objections.
At this moment, the Celestial Thearch took the stage again.
“Next up is the third activity. I hereby announce the official commencement of the Heavenly Peach Banquet dance!”
When the Celestial Thearch’s voice fell, bursts of iridescent light flashed through the pristine white Heavenly Palace. Dreamy light descended while soothing music began to appear.
An Lin knew that they were free to do whatever they wanted now.
They could eat, drink, or dance to their hearts’ content.
As the biggest winners here, the members of the Four Nine Immortal Sect were going to sample their immortal-rank heavenly peaches!
Bai Ling was tasked with the duty of slicing the three immortal rank heavenly peaches that were to be shared as she would undoubtedly be the one who was able to do so with the most precision here.
The three immortal-rank heavenly peaches were placed on the table.
All of them were red and succulent, like three shy young women.
A delectable scent wafted from all three peaches, making those who inhaled the scent feel as if they were floating above the clouds.
It was said that mortals could extend their lifespan by a hundred years just by taking a whiff of an immortal-rank heavenly peach!
The rich immortal energy emanating from the immortal peaches manifested itself into a graceful white dragon that revolved around the peaches, as if it were guarding the peaches from prying hands.
Everyone’s eyes lit up at the sight of the gorgeous heavenly peaches.
Bai Ling extended a slim finger before waving it slightly through the air.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh.
Countless thin lines instantly sliced the three heavenly peaches into eight portions, and they also removed three shiny, golden heavenly peach cores.
“Heavenly peach cores possess extremely powerful essence of wood and can be used for pill refinement,” Bai Ling explained.
“I’ll take them.” Pill refinement master Xu Xiaolan raised her hand to claim them.
Thus, all three immortal peaches had been prepared.
Everyone swallowed involuntarily at the sight of the peaches’ translucent and succulent flesh.
An Lin and Xu Xiaolan didn’t need to bother with that as they had complete immortal peaches of their own!
Crunch!
An Lin bit down onto his immortal peach.
An indescribable sense of satisfaction instantly spread through his entire body!
The peach flesh was delicious to the extreme, and its taste lingered long after the flesh had been swallowed. Not only that, but the flavor seemed to only be enhanced over time!
The energy from within the heavenly peaches massaged and cleansed their blood and meridians, making their seas of vital energy churn and their souls tremble with bliss.
“So good! I feel like… I feel like I’m about to rise into the sky!” An Lin exclaimed.
“Me too…” Xu Xiaolan moaned.
Whoosh…
Two pairs of white wings appeared on their backs.
An Lin and Xu Xiaolan held hands as they rose into the air before dancing in the sky above.
Black Spirit Snake was just about to sample her heavenly peach, but she stopped herself upon seeing this.
She spoke with a disdainful expression, “That looks quite shameful for some reason…”
All of the other Four Nine Immortal Sect members also sampled the immortal peaches, and all of them also wore expressions of bliss upon doing so. Even though they didn’t rise into the sky, this was definitely an extremely enjoyable experience that they would remember for a long time to come.
All of the other mighty figures present were green with envy.
The Four Nine Immortal Sect looked like they were in heaven, whereas everyone else could only look on with envy and yearning.
After eating the immortal peaches, all of the Four Nine Immortal Sects cultivators lay feebly in their chairs, feeling too blissful to even move. The spirit fruits on the table were suddenly as bland as plain white rice to them.
Next, it was time to make some friends.
All of the powers and sects that came to the Four Nine Immortal Sect table were trying to establish better relations with their sect, and there were many more of them than expected. If it weren’t for the fact that lining up at the Four Nine Immortal Sect table would be too humiliating for the other powers, there would be a long line extending the entire length of the Heavenly Palace!
There were also many beauties who wanted to invite An Lin to dance, but all of them were turned down by him.
He did not want to die yet, thank you very much!
Thus, the Heavenly Peach Banquet drew to a conclusion amid a joyful atmosphere.
An Lin thought to himself for a moment before deciding that it was finally time to go back to university after ditching it for two months.
