Not long after, the sun rose.
Below the Apocalypse Tower was a sea of white clouds. Half of the bright red sun was peeking out.
The morning sun shone a red light that spread for billions of miles, spreading across the boundless sea of clouds.
The boundless sea of clouds was suddenly filled with multicolored light. It was as mesmerizing as a fairyland.
Many of the guests exclaimed in admiration at this beautiful scenery, revealing excited and excited expressions.
Ji Tianxing, on the other hand, was touched. He felt that the world was vast and boundless, but humans were tiny and weak.
There are billions of mountains and rivers in the world. There are countless beautiful sights, but humans are limited. It is lucky to be able to appreciate them.
I wonder when I can reach the legendary realm where I can see the rising sun of the East Sea in the morning and the setting sun of the West Wilderness in the evening. I can travel between the north and south in the morning and travel between the heavens and the earth.
Very quickly, two hours passed.
The beautiful scenery of the rising sun was over. Many guests finally regained their senses.
At this moment, a few Imperial Court officials led groups of Imperial Court guards and maidservants up the Apocalypse Tower.
Hundreds of guards and maidservants stood around the Apocalypse Altar. They looked sincere and solemn.
Everyone knew that the auspicious time was approaching. The Emperor's concubine selection ceremony was about to begin.
At this moment, a white-haired elder in a white robe and holding a golden horsetail whisk flew over from the sea of clouds.
The elder's robe fluttered in the wind. He stepped on the clouds as if he was walking on flat ground.
Everyone on the altar looked at him one after another. When they saw his sage-like and otherworldly appearance and temperament, they were all stunned.
Many people looked at him with respect. They only thought that he was an old immortal who had descended from the heavens.
Swoosh!
The white-robed elder held the horsetail whisk and landed on the Apocalypse Altar.
He was spotlessly clean, and his aura was deep and vast. It was as if he was connected to the heavens and the earth. No one could see through him.
Everyone's eyes were focused on him.
The ceremonial officials, guards, and maids around the altar all bowed and paid their respects. They shouted, "Greetings, Your Majesty Imperial Preceptor!"
More than 100 guests and Thearchs finally realized that the white-robed elder was the Imperial Tutor of the human Imperial Court.
Immediately, the guests and the Emperors' Sons bowed respectfully.
The Imperial Tutor looked at the crowd indifferently and gestured for them to rise.
Then, he waved the golden horsetail whisk in his hand and used a secret technique to shoot out rays of five-colored spiritual light into the Open Heaven Sacred Altar.
After the Opening Heaven Altar lit up with a hazy brilliance and released a mysterious and vast invisible power, Ye Qingyu's eyes lit up.
The Imperial Tutor solemnly bowed to the sky and said in a booming voice.
"Today is the golden hour. In accordance with the will of the heavens, the Son of Heaven is choosing his Heavenly Concubine.
This is a blessing for the imperial court, a grand ceremony for our race, and a sacred ceremony for billions of human beings.
Therefore, I opened the Holy Altar and reported it to the heavens, to the people … "
The Imperial Tutor gave a solemn speech, reporting to the heavens the significance of today's grand ceremony, praying for the heavens to bear witness and bless.
The ceremonial officials below the altar, as well as the hundreds of guards and maids, all knelt down on one knee and bowed to the heavens in a pious posture.
The guests and the Princes all felt a formless energy and connection descending from the sky onto the Opening Heaven Sacred Altar.
This caused Ji Tianxing to be secretly shocked and somewhat puzzled.
He had always thought that the "heavens" were just a title that didn't exist and could only be used to entrust the people's beautiful wishes.
However, at this moment, he could deeply feel that the legendary "heavens" really did exist.
There seemed to be a pair of invisible eyes in the sky staring at the Open Heaven Tower and silently injecting an invisible and mysterious power.
15 minutes later, the Imperial Tutor finally finished the Open Heaven Ceremony and opened the Holy Altar.
Then, the Imperial Tutor loudly announced that the three Heavenly Concubine candidates were invited to come on stage and be judged by the heavens and the people.
Ji Tianxing, like the other guests, turned to look at the exit at the edge of the Open Heaven Altar.
As a melodious string and woodwind music sounded, a group of maids escorted a beautiful woman to the Open Heaven Altar and walked lightly toward it.
That beautiful and elegant woman was wearing a gorgeous long dress that reached the ground and a jade phoenix crown that was inlaid with gold and embedded with jade and gems. She was dressed very elegantly.
She lowered her head slightly, and a layer of golden beads dangled from the jade phoenix crown, faintly hiding her beautiful face.
However, the more people couldn't see her face, the more they felt that she was beautiful and alluring.
After this beautiful woman stepped onto the Open Heaven Altar, the Imperial Tutor loudly announced, "The first Heavenly Concubine candidate is Lan Huixin. She is a beauty from the Long Heaven Region …"
The guests in the hall whispered to each other.
Then, another group of maids escorted the second beautiful woman to the Open Heaven Altar.
This beautiful woman was different from Lan Huixin. She didn't wear a graceful and luxurious dress, nor did she wear exquisite makeup.
She was wearing a simple green robe and long skirt. She did not wear any makeup, nor did she wear any jewelry.
However, she had an innate demure temperament, like an orchid in an empty valley, noble and elegant.
She calmly stepped onto the Open Heaven Altar and stood in the middle of the hall. She didn't look around, and only looked at the sea of clouds indifferently, quietly waiting.
The Imperial Tutor loudly announced, "The second Heavenly Concubine candidate is An Suwan. She is a beauty from the Yong 'an Region …"
The guests in the surroundings once again burst into discussion. Some curiously looked at An Suwan, while others were amazed and praised.
Murong Lingfeng, who was surrounded by several princes, stared at An Suwan's beautiful figure the moment she appeared. He couldn't move his eyes away.
His eyes were filled with tenderness as he gazed at An Suwan. His eyes were filled with longing and yearning.
He silently called out in his heart, hoping that An Suwan would turn her head and look at him. Even if it was just a look, it would make him feel at ease.
However, An Suwan stood quietly and stared at the sea of clouds. She didn't look at anyone at all.
Then, the third beautiful woman appeared on the Open Heaven Altar.
This beautiful woman wore a white long dress. Her figure was tall and perfect, and her face was beautiful. She was like the most perfect masterpiece of the Creator.
However, her eyes were as indifferent as autumn water, and her temperament was as cold as frost. She was like a fairy from the Nine Heavens, otherworldly.
She just stood on the Open Heaven Altar and didn't do anything. She didn't even need to show any expression, but her invisible aura suppressed An Suwan and Lan Huixin beside her.
Without a doubt, this person was Yun Yao.
Many of the guests present had heard of Yun Yao's name. They knew that she was the first daughter of the Cloud Spirit Palace, and now the princess of the Imperial Residence!
After the Imperial Tutor introduced her, many of the guests and princes on the Open Heaven Altar revealed looks of amazement and admiration. They all began to discuss.
The three Heavenly Consort candidates were all present.
Thus, the Imperial Tutor announced that the Emperor would step onto the Open Heaven Altar and choose his Heavenly Consort in front of everyone.
Everyone turned their heads to look at the exit. They saw Long Yunxiao, who wore a golden robe and a square golden crown of dragons and phoenixes on his head, walk up the Open Heaven Altar with majestic steps.
At that moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Long Yunxiao. They looked at him with complicated expressions.
Ever since Long Yunxiao's battle with Ji Tianxing, he hadn't appeared in public for a long time. There hadn't been any news about him either.
It was rumored that his injuries were too severe and that he had been in seclusion to heal.
However, at this moment, everyone saw that he was in high spirits. His aura was strong, and he didn't look like he was injured.
Of course, the guests and princes were more concerned about who Long Yunxiao would choose as his Heavenly Consort.
