Chapter 1279: Battle for the Heavenly Peaches
Battle for the heavenly peaches?
All of the mighty figures who were just yearning for more instantly turned their eyes upon the Celestial Thearch.
Their eyes were burning with excitement, and all of them were extremely looking forward to the chance of being able to sample more heavenly peaches.
An Lin turned his eyes toward Lin Junjun with a slightly accusatory expression. He had cooked so many delectable dishes for her, and she hadn’t even told him what events there were going to be!
A faint smile appeared on the Celestial Thearch’s face at the sight of everyone’s expression of yearning, and he flipped over his hand to produce a huge black cube.
This was a smooth, inky-black cube that was about as tall as a grown man, from which bursts of vast energy fluctuations proliferated forth, making everyone feel as if they were being confronted by an ancient beast.
An Lin felt like this cube was at least an artifact at the pinnacle of immortal tools.
The Celestial Thearch laid a hand on the black cube before offering an explanation.
“This is a divine tool of our Heavenly Court, the Dao Observation Space, which is an extremely rare spatial dao observation divine tool!”
His words were instantly met with cries of surprise from the audience.
All divine tools were extremely precious, and divine tools that could help one observe dao were exceedingly rare. This meant that one could enter the space within the divine tool to cultivate and that would allow them to observe dao in the process.
Just this characteristic alone made this divine tool even more valuable than the average divine tool!
The Celestial Thearch continued, “The second activity is the battle for the heavenly peaches. Where are the heavenly peaches? The heavenly peaches are situated within the Heavenly Court’s divine tool, this Dao Observation Space!”
Everyone instantly grasped what was happening there. They were supposed to battle for the heavenly peaches after entering the divine tool!
“It’s exactly as you think! All of you can enter the space within the divine tool to fight for the heavenly peaches! There are nine heavenly peach trees distributed randomly within this space, and the heavenly peaches belong to whoever manages to capture the trees!”
The Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures’ eyes instantly lit up upon hearing this.
Everyone else was trash to them!
They could oligopolize all of the heavenly peach trees!
Who would be able to compete with Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures?
All of the Spirit Nurturing Stage and Soul Formation Stage cultivators were instantly disheartened.
How were they supposed to compete with the Dao Integration Stage and Return to Void Stage mighty figures?
“Hahaha… Don’t be buoyed or disheartened to quickly, I still haven’t finished elaborating on the rules.” The Celestial Thearch laughed heartily.
Everyone’s expression faltered upon hearing this.
“Once all of you enter the Dao Observation Space, your power level will be restricted to the equivalent of tenth-stage Dao Body level by the laws within the divine tool. However, Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures can use their powers of the divine dao to fight against the power of the divine tool’s laws, which would make things unfair.”
“As such, all mighty figures who unleash their powers of the divine dao within the divine tool will be disqualified immediately. Hence, everyone will be on a level playing field to ensure fairness!”
The majority of cultivators were reinvigorated upon hearing the Celestial Thearch’s words.
This was a truly fair competition!
“It’s not fair at all.” Ye Ling pouted.
At only the fourth-stage Dao Body, she was the weakest participant in the entire Heavenly Peach Banquet, so she didn’t even need to have any restrictions placed on her.
An Lin burst into laughter at the sight of Ye Ling’s aggrieved expression, and he couldn’t help but pinch her adorable little cheek.
“Ow ow ow… that hurts, Master!” Ye Ling put on a miserable expression.
An Lin pulled out a spirit fruit from his storage ring and stuffed it into Ye Ling’s mouth. “Be a good girl now. Complain less and eat more fruit so that you can quickly grow up!”
Ye Ling: “…”
The battle for the heavenly peaches was about to commence, and everyone was raring to go.
The Celestial Thearch continued, “There are a total of a hundred powers gathered here at this Heavenly Peach Banquet. Among them, there are powers with as high as thirty representatives as well as powers with as low as eight representatives. Hence, each power is only allowed to deploy eight representatives to participate in this activity. You may choose your eight representatives now!”
Eight representatives?
Everyone’s expression shifted upon hearing this. This policy catered for sects with the least number of representatives, which further leveled the playing field, but it was still not completely fair.
For example, the Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures were still very happy.
A grin appeared on Kui’s face. “So what if they restrict me to the Dao Body Stage? Back in the day, I bashed a Spirit Nurturing Stage demonic monkey to death when I was only a Dao Body Stage cultivator!”
The Wind Walker of the Hall of Creation spoke in an ethereal voice. “Dao Body Stage? There’s no point to this restriction as my strength can be displayed in other facets.”
Patriarch Shen Teng chortled with glee. “So what if there’s a power restriction? I can take on a hundred with ease!”
All of the Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures were brimming with confidence.
Even with restrictions placed on their cultivation base, they had an overwhelming advantage in terms of usage of techniques and tactics, battle experiences, as well as observations. They would use these advantages to crush their competition!
This was the confidence of the Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures.
In this world, absolute fairness did not exist.
The Celestial Thearch was only doing this to make the events more fun and interesting!
“There is one more thing everyone needs to remember. All living beings will be ejected from the divine tool and disqualified after sustaining twenty percent damage.”
“Alright, please prepare your teams of eight and gather by the divine tool once you’ve made your decision!”
The Celestial Thearch slapped a hand to the black cube, and powerful spatial fluctuations erupted from it.
An Lin turned to all of his fellow sect members. “Who wants to go?”
As expected, Xiao Hong shook her head. “I’ll stay behind. Please bring out a few more peaches for me, Master. One heavenly peach tree must have a lot of heavenly peaches growing on it.”
Little Gu recoiled slightly. “At Dao Body Stage, I hadn’t even attained my butterfly form yet, so I’m just going to be trampled on like a bug…”
Little Na raised both of her tiny arms. “I’ll go! I’ll go!”
Da Bai was also quite excited. “I’ll go too, woof!”
“I’m currently at a critical juncture in refining my dao of defense, so I don’t want to experience any handicap in power,” Xiao Ze spoke with a disappointed expression.
“I’m at a critical juncture of my preparation to make a breakthrough, so I don’t want to get bashed.” Xiao Tu didn’t want to go either.
Xu Xiaolan smiled. “I’ll go!”
Liu Qianhuan, Su Qianyun, and Xuanyuan Cheng also decided to participate.
“Alright, there’s one final spot left, hurry up!” An Lin urged.
“I want to go!” Ye Ling offered with a dainty smile.
An Lin stuffed another spirit fruit in her mouth. “Go eat your fruit! Don’t meddle with what the adults are doing!”
Xiao Chou thought for a moment before raising his hand. “I’ll take the final spot!”
“Alright, that’s eight of us. Let’s go take all the heavenly peaches!” An Lin announced.
An Lin, Xu Xiaolan, Da Bai, Little Na, Xiao Chou, Liu Qianhuan, Xuanyuan Cheng, and Su Qianyun gathered before the black cube divine tool.
All of the powerful beings from other powers also gathered around the black cube.
All of them were either dazzling prodigies on the Tai Chu Continent or renowned, veteran mighty figures that had been tried and tested. There were no weaklings here.
The battle between a hundred sects officially commenced!
