Chapter 1274: The Heavenly Peach Banquet
The Heavenly Court was one of the top-tier powers on the entire Tai Chu Continent. As such, a banquet like this was naturally a grand occasion for the entire Tai Chu Continent.
On the Heavenly Court’s floating continent.
All types of steeds flew through the skies and flying s.h.i.+ps were as abundant as droplets of rain.
Representatives from powers all over the world began to gather at the location where the Heavenly Peach Banquet was being held, which was the Little Green Island of the Heavenly Court.
Even though there was a “little” in the name of the Litte Green Island, it was not little in the slightest. The island was over a million square kilometers in area. Vital energy was extremely rich and abundant there, iridescent light appeared regularly in the sky above, and countless types of rare mutant beasts roamed the island. This was the most renowned holy land of the Heavenly Court.
A circular, white aircraft slowly landed on the island, upon which An Lin and the others disembarked from the cabin door.
“Phew… What pure and fresh air. I feel like my body has been cleansed just by breathing.” An Lin spread open his arms and took a deep breath.
Before him lay a vast expanse of beautiful scenery.
Lush, green gra.s.s and vibrant flowers grew on the ground, alongside pleasant spirit trees. Undulating immortal mountain ranges could be seen in the distance, and white cranes danced through the sky. This was an extremely serene and natural scene that struck one with a sense of entrancement.
“Is this the Little Green Island? It has an extremely powerful enchantment barrier around it.” Xu Xiaolan looked around at the vast island with a carefree expression.
An Lin nodded. “This formation is indeed very powerful.”
At the very least, he was still finding it very difficult to identify a way to break the formation even after using his Divine Inspection Technique.
However, there was no need for him to break the formation as he had a golden letter of invitation. After handing the letter of invitation over to the divine generals who guarded this holy land, the twenty members of the Four Nine Immortal Sect were granted entry into the Little Green Island.
Xiao Tu looked around with interest before giving his opinion.
“Oh? So this is the holy land of the Heavenly Court? It’s not bad at all. In fact, it’s comparable to the holy land of the Primordial Dragon Tribe in the Ancient Tai Chu Dragon Realm.”
“This is indeed an exquisite place!” Xiao Ze chimed in with an earnest expression.
Ye Ling wore a blue dress, and she gripped one of An Lin’s big hands tightly in her little, soft hand. She was a little afraid, but she was also quite curious as she looked around at her surroundings. “Master, the scenery is so beautiful here, and it feels very comfortable. I feel like I’m light as a feather and could fly into the sky.”
An Lin poked with a teasing finger at Ye Ling’s little nose. “Silly disciple, we’re in the sky right now, so you don’t have to fly.”
“Huh?” Ye Ling’s large eyes widened, and she looked down at the substantial ground below her with confusion etched on her face. “Aren’t we on the ground?”
“Yes, but this entire continent is flying in the sky! We’re currently at an alt.i.tude of tens of thousands of meters!” An Lin explained patiently.
Ye Ling suddenly went weak at the knees, and she almost began to shed tears as she spoke in a trembling voice, “M… Master, I’m scared…”
“What are you scared of?” An Lin asked.
“I… I’m scared of heights…” Ye Ling pouted with a pitiable expression.
An Lin thought about it before picking Ye Ling up from the ground and cradling her in one of his arms. “How about now?”
“Heehee, I’m not scared anymore in Master’s arms.” A relaxed smile appeared on Ye Ling’s face.
An Lin pinched Ye Ling’s soft little cheek. “You sure are a troublesome little girl!”
Ye Ling continued to smile and lay her head on An Lin’s shoulder with an expression of reliance and attachment.
Xiao Tu and Xiao Ze both looked on and sighed with emotion.
Xiao Tu: “This is how a master and their disciple should interact.”
Xiao Ze nodded in agreement. “It’s such a serene and affectionate relations.h.i.+p. I’m a little jealous.”
“I feel like I’m a fake disciple,” Xiao Tu continued.
Xiao Ze was astonished. “Could it be that you want An Lin to cradle you in his arms? My G.o.d!”
An Lin cradling a grown man…
What a horrifying spectacle that would be! Xiao Ze didn’t even dare to imagine something like that…
“Don’t go spouting bullsh*t, that’s not what I meant!” Xiao Tu blushed slightly with an enraged expression.
The Four Nine Immortal Sect party continued deeper into the Little Green Island while walking on a bluestone path.
In order to avoid excessive turmoil, a spell formation had been set up on the Little Green Island to prevent flight. All those who entered the island had to walk along the ground.
An Lin rode on Da Bai with Ye Ling in his arms as he enjoyed the scenery around him.
“Hi, An Lin, are you not going to come to greet me?” A gorgeous Celestial Maiden in a lavish dress descended from the sky.
She was none other than the seventh daughter of the Celestial Thearch, Celestial Maiden Tian Yu.
“Lin Junjun, how come you can fly?”
An Lin was a little disgruntled by the sight of Celestial Maiden Tian Yu descending from the sky.
Did the flying restriction not apply to her?
A faint smile appeared on Lin Junjun’s face. “It’s because I’m bad*ss!”
She raised her chin slightly like a haughty swan as she spoke.
An Lin rolled his eyes. More like your father is bad*ss!
“As an honorary elder of the Four Nine Immortal Sect, I’ll show you guys around this place. There’s no need to thank me,” Lin Junjun said as she volunteered her service.
“Big Sister, Big Sister, are there any delicious things to eat here?” Ye Ling asked in an excited voice.
“The Myriad Fruit Orchard has all types of precious fruits that you can eat to your heart’s content. All of them have been nurtured by the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth, so they’re very sweet and delicious. I can take you there to pick some!” Lin Junjun replied with a smile.
“Long live, Big Sister Celestial Maiden!” Ye Ling whooped with both arms held aloft.
“Ms. Tian Yu, may I ask what place has the most spiritual energy here? I would like to observe it,” Xuanyuan Cheng asked with a warm expression.
“Hmm, that would be the Heavenly Pond. That place is a restricted area, but I can take you there,” Lin Junjun replied with a smile.
Xuanyuan Cheng extended a graceful salute of grat.i.tude. “Thank you, Ms. Tian Yu.”
“Celestial Maiden Tian Yu, I want to go to the sunniest place here,” Xiao Hong said with excitement in her voice.
“Alright, I’ll take you there…” Lin Junjun nodded.
Here at the Little Green Island, she adopted the role of a perfect hostess, satisfying everyone’s needs.
“There are over a hundred different powers that were invited to the Heavenly Court’s Heavenly Peach Banquet, which amounts to a total of over two thousand representatives. Among them, there are twenty powers from the Kingdom of the Nine States, including the four great sects, the Nine Imperials, as well as the top-tier immortal sects, including the Four Nine Immortal Sect.”
Within the Myriad Fruit Orchard, Lin Junjun continued to explain everything as she led everyone on a fruit-picking tour.
“Aside from that, the Creation Realm of the Hall of Creation, the Western Paradise of the Buddhist Kingdom, the Holy Paradise of the Garden of Eden, the Spirit Lake Realm, the North Cang Mountain Realm, the Thousand Star Moving Islands, the Sea Heart Palace, the Dragon Court of the Eastern Seas… and various other major powers have also sent representatives here.
“In order to ensure everyone’s safety, the Heavenly Court has restricted the number of Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures partic.i.p.ating in the Heavenly Peach Banquet. However, there are still as many as twelve Dao Integration Stage partic.i.p.ants. As for Return to Void Stage and Soul Formation Stage partic.i.p.ants, there are simply too many to count…”
Lin Junjun’s introduction sent shock surging through everyone’s heart.
As expected of one of the most renowned grand occasions of the entire continent, just the list of the partic.i.p.ants was astonis.h.i.+ng!
