Chapter 909: The Decision of the Seven Celestial Maidens

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Was tribulation transcendence terrifying?

It was very terrifying! Just a slight mistake, and it would result in death for the cultivator involved.

So why did so many cultivators still insist on pursuing such a dangerous activity?

This could be attributed to their determination in the pursuit of dao. What was cultivation?

Some wanted immortality, some wanted power, and some were even just curious about what lay at the end of the path of cultivation… There were countless excuses for people to cultivate, but the one constant was that everyone wanted to continue to progress.

After reaching the Soul Formation Pinnacle Stage, one further step could result in annihilation, but it could also result in transcendence to a higher level of being, much more power, vastly broader horizons, and a lifespan that could be as long as in the millions…

There was almost no one that could resist such temptation!

Then what if An Lin had a type of power that could greatly improve the chances of one successfully transcending their tribulation?

Countless beings at the Soul Formation Pinnacle Stage would go crazy! After all, how would you cultivate when you were dead? If there was something that could vastly elevate the probability for a successful tribulation transcendence, then this was the best thing in the world!

A smile appeared on An Lin’s face. “Teacher Ming Yuan, thank you for alerting me to this. I think this is a very plausible idea!”

An elated smile appeared on Celestial Immortal Ming Yuan’s face. “I have a feeling that our human race… No, the entire continent is going to face a massive epidemic sometime in the future, so if Mr. An Lin could strengthen the continent in preparation for what is to come, it would undoubtedly be a much-appreciated endeavor.”

An Lin nodded in response. “Of course. Everyone owes a duty of care to this world. I will be sure to do my part for it!”

“Hahaha… Student An Lin, I was right to have placed my trust in you!” Celestial Immortal Ming Yuan looked at the man before him with a gratified expression, clearly extremely happy with An Lin’s attitude.

“Hahaha… You’re far too kind, Teacher Ming Yuan. This is something that should simply be expected of me!” An Lin joined his hands in salute. “Time is of the essence. I have to find the Celestial Thearch to discuss this idea, so I’ll be taking my leave now!”

“Great!” Celestial Immortal Ming Yuan nodded with elation as he passed his photographic crystal to An Lin. “The complete footage of Xue Zhantian’s trial tribulation is stored in there. I hope it will be of assistance to you.”

An Lin gleefully accepted the photographic crystal and expressed his gratitude again. “Then, I’ll be going now, Teacher!”

“Go! Fight for the new era of cultivation!” Celestial Immortal Ming Yuan waved with a gratified smile.

He looked on as An Lin impatiently flew into the distance and let loose a content sigh. “Who would have thought Student An Lin would be so eager to set things into motion? He is the lucky star of the entire continent!”

In the core region of the Heavenly Court.

An Lin arrived at the palace where the Celestial Thearch dwelled daily.

A Celestial Maiden in a red dress came out to greet him.

“Mr. An Lin, why did you go to sell stuffed buns again yesterday? My sisters and I miss your cooking very much!” the Celestial Maiden asked with a vibrant smile and a seductive demeanor but also a cold sense of pride.

An Lin waved his hands as a hint of fear welled up in his heart. “Celestial Maiden Tian Shou, I don’t mean to be rude, but please don’t come again! You haven’t seen how the Celestial Thearch was looking at me when you and your sisters decided to band together and come to my restaurant. He looked like he wanted to tear me to shreds with his bare hands! I still have nightmares about it to this day!”

That’s right, the Celestial Maiden in the red dress was the eldest among the seven human piggy banks.

Celestial Maiden Tian Shou burst into laughter upon hearing this, and she approached An Lin. An alluring scent wafted from her body, and the two snowy white melons in front of An Lin’s eyes wobbled as she walked, creating a spectacular sight to behold.

An Lin politely averted his gaze, but he was speculating in his heart whether the seven Celestial Maidens were ranked according to size rather than age. The eldest sister as a level E powerful being, slightly inferior to the Grandmaster Construction Cultivator. Number two and number three were level D powerful beings, number four was a level C powerful being, number five was a level B powerful being, number six was a level A powerful being, and as for number seven…

Ahem… That was, of course, all just a joke.

Strictly speaking, Lin Junjun’s figure was quite exquisite, but it was still slightly inferior to all her elder sisters.

Just as An Lin was being led astray by this train of thought, Celestial Maiden Tian Shou had already set her supple, red lips beside An Lin’s ear before speaking in a mellow, seductive voice, “Then… Can we work on another type of deal?”

Another type of deal? An Lin’s body shuddered. Was she suggesting something unsuitable for younger audiences? How terrifying! As a man of justice and exemplary moral compass, he had to nip things like this in the bud!

An Lin immediately replied, “Please state what deal you would like to propose, Celestial Maiden.”

Celestial Maiden Tian Shou’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly as she said in a low voice, “To be honest, my father has taken the spending money from my sisters and myself. Hence, it might be impossible for us to pay for your dishes with spirit stones… But we have another way through which we can pay you…”

An Lin swallowed as waves of shock surged through his heart, but his expression remained calm and collected. “In what way do you propose?”

Never would he have thought that a chef like him would be able to enjoy such benefits.

These were seven thirsty Celestial Maidens… Come! Come all at once! The more the merrier!

Celestial Maiden Tian Shou’s eyes glowed with a mischievous light, as if she were a little kitten hatching a sinister plot. “We have a peach orchard at the Heavenly Court, in which there are spirit peaches which ripen once every century and immortal peaches which ripen once every millennium. My sisters and I are hoping we can exchange one immortal peach for one of your dishes.”

“Pfff…” An Lin almost threw up a mouthful of blood.

He turned with incredulity to the woman beside him. “You’re planning to steal immortal peaches for dishes?!”

Tian Shou pouted as she glared at An Lin with resentful eyes. “My sisters and I are the guardians of the peach orchard, and the orchard belongs to our family. How can it be considered stealing if we use an immortal peach to exchange for one of your dishes?”

An Lin’s lips twitched. “Has the Celestial Thearch agreed to this?”

A light blush appeared on Tian Shou’s face. “If he agreed, then why would I be discussing this in secret with you…”

An Lin’s chest constricted upon hearing this. They would dare to use the peaches to exchange for dishes without the Celestial Thearch’s agreement?

How the f*ck was this not stealing? Stealing from your own family was still stealing!!!

Top news! The seven Celestial Maidens snuck into peach orchard at night to steal immortal peaches!

“I’m sorry… I’m not interested in peaches.” An Lin repressed the throbbing in his heart to reject this offer.

He did not want this top news headline to pop up someday as the Celestial Thearch would probably skin him alive!

“Aw, that really is a pity…” A hint of disappointment appeared on Celestial Maiden Tian Shou’s face.

An Lin was not disappointed in the slightest. Instead, he was ecstatic that he would be able to live on for another day!

“By the way, An Lin, why are you here so urgently to see my father?” Celestial Maiden Tian Shou suddenly asked.

An Lin instantly came to his senses and slapped his forehead. “I almost forgot! I have a method that can drastically increase the success rate of tribulation transcendence, and I would like the Celestial Thearch’s help to promote it!”

“Drastically increase the success rate of tribulation transcendence?!” Tian Shou covered her mouth as she let loose a cry of surprise.

An Lin nodded. “That’s right. Hence, I would like the Celestial Thearch to mobilize the forces of the Heavenly Court to promote this method across the entire continent!”

COMMENT

Tian Shou’s eyes glowed with a peculiar light as a small smile appeared on her seductive lips. “As expected of the man my seventh sister has fallen for, to think you’re able to devise such a method!”

An Lin’s expression remained unchanged. “There are many Celestial Maidens who have fallen for me. After all, I am exceptionally outstanding.”

Tian Shou: “…”

There was no need to compliment this man. He had a self-praising function!
