Long Yunxiao stood expressionlessly on the Open Heaven Altar, waiting for the Imperial Tutor to finish the rest of the ceremony.
An Suwan looked at him with a complicated expression. Her heart was filled with bitterness and hesitation.
Lan Huixin's eyes were filled with tears. She was sad that she had failed, but she was also very envious and jealous of An Suwan.
Only Yun Yao was calm. She was neither sad nor happy.
In the crowd below the holy altar, Murong Lingfeng, who had been anxiously waiting, was now completely dumbfounded.
He thought that the emperor would choose Yun Yao as his Heavenly Consort.
After all, the emperor had pursued Yun Yao for many years. He was infatuated with Yun Yao and had been secretly supporting the Yun Family.
No matter what, the emperor would choose Yun Yao as his Heavenly Consort. This was a matter of course.
Murong Lingfeng was still planning in his heart. Once the Emperor's consort selection was over, he could openly pursue An Suwan.
At that time, he would definitely use all of his abilities and all kinds of methods to make An Suwan stay in the Central State, and then gradually capture her heart.
However, the emperor chose An Suwan as his Heavenly Consort!
To Murong Lingfeng, this was simply a bolt out of the blue, an enormous blow!
After he regained his senses, his face twisted in anger. His eyes were filled with hatred and killing intent.
"Long! Yun! Xiao! You damn bastard! How dare you steal my Suwan in front of everyone?!
So what if you're the emperor? One day, I will make you lose all standing and reputation and die without a burial ground to avenge today's grudge! "
Murong Lingfeng clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles cracked. He roared in his heart.
The pain of having his beloved taken away was like a sharp knife stabbing into his heart. It was unforgettable.
The seed of hatred was buried deep in his heart. It was growing rapidly.
However, this was the Open Heaven Pagoda. The Imperial Tutor and many powerful cultivators were present. Murong Lingfeng did not dare to act up.
He could only endure the humiliation and hide the hatred in his heart. Even if his teeth were broken, he had to swallow it down.
A moment later, the hatred and murderous intent in his eyes disappeared. His eyes became cold and indifferent, and even a little empty and lifeless.
After an unknown period of time, the concubine selection ceremony was finally completed.
The Emperor left the Apocalypse Pagoda with the new Heavenly Consort, An Suwan, under everyone's gaze.
Yun Yao and Lan Huixin also walked down the Open Heaven Altar and left the top of the tower.
The Imperial Tutor announced the end of the Imperial Concubine Selection Ceremony and told everyone that the Imperial Concubine and the Imperial Concubine would be officially married in three months.
At that time, the imperial court would hold the conferring ceremony of the Heavenly Concubine and would invite all the guests to attend the ceremony again.
Many guests silently noted down the time, thinking that the ceremony was over, and were about to leave.
But at this moment, the Imperial Tutor announced another piece of news.
"Today, all the powerful beings of my race have gathered at the Apocalypse Pagoda. I have a second announcement to make.
And this solemn and sacred matter concerns the safety and future of billions of people in the Heavenly Stellar Region! "
More than a hundred guests on the altar immediately stopped in their tracks. They looked at the Imperial Preceptor with sparkling eyes, their faces full of anticipation.
Most of these guests were powerful beings and rulers of the human race.
Among them were the overlords of the eight southern regions, the heads of the ancient families, the City Lords of the various cities in Middle Ground, and the leaders of many first-rate forces.
Everyone could feel that the Imperial Tutor's attitude was solemn and serious. The news that he was about to announce would definitely be shocking.
Indeed, the Imperial Tutor said solemnly, "As everyone knows, the eight regions of my race have the position of Territorial Lord.
The eight Territorial Lord's Manors respectively rule the eight southern regions. They lead the various Martial Dao sects and protect billions of people in hundreds of kingdoms.
"For the past thousand years, the southern regions have been peaceful and stable. The people have been living in peace and contentment …
"Only the Heavenly Stellar Region has never had a Territorial Lord. It is ruled and protected by the Ancient Realm of the Stellar Region.
"However, the Heavenly Stellar Region is located in the south and is too far away from the imperial court. Even if the imperial court wants to protect it, it is too far away.
"Recently, there have been drastic changes in the Ancient Realm of the Stellar Region. We are unable to rule the Heavenly Stellar Region and protect the people of the Ten Nations …"
Many of the guests were powerhouses and superiors of the human race. Which one of them was not quick-witted and intelligent?
Hearing the Imperial Tutor's words, everyone understood what he meant and guessed what he was about to announce.
Suddenly, everyone was shocked and stared at him with their eyes wide open.
The Imperial Tutor paused for a moment and looked around the room with a dignified gaze. He said slowly in a solemn tone, "In order to protect the peace of the Heavenly Stellar Region and protect billions of people …
"The imperial court has decided to select a young powerhouse with both integrity and talent to be the Territorial Lord of the Heavenly Stellar Region!
"In the next month, all the Princes of my race who have reached the Heavenly Origin Realm can register with the imperial court.
"In a month, the imperial court will select the candidates. The Princes and the young powerhouses will compete for the position of the Territorial Lord of the Heavenly Stellar Region!"
When the Imperial Tutor's voice spread throughout the room, many of the guests were full of anticipation.
The eyes of the Princes were shining brightly. Their blood was boiling and their hearts were beating faster.
Everyone secretly made up their minds to participate in this competition and work hard to become the Territorial Lord of the Heavenly Stellar Region!
If they could control the Heavenly Stellar Region, they could control hundreds of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers and lead the people of the ten nations.
One of the nine Territorial Lords of the human race. How noble and honorable was that?
Thinking of this, many of the Princes secretly clenched their fists and were eager to try.
In particular, Duanmu Yulong and Murong Lingfeng were filled with excitement and impatience.
Both of them knew very well that if they could become the Territorial Lord of the Heavenly Stellar Region, they would have more power and influence. They would strengthen their own families and completely suppress the other two families.
Even Ji Tianxing's heart was full of desire and anticipation.
Although he was not greedy for power, he came from the Heavenly Stellar Region. His family, homeland, and sect were there.
He also wanted to compete for the position of the Territorial Lord and control the Heavenly Stellar Region in his own hands. Only then could he better protect his family, friends, and sect.
If someone else became the Territorial Lord of the Heavenly Stellar Region and led the various sects and the ten nations, who knew what the situation would be like.
When the Imperial Tutor saw everyone's anticipation and enthusiasm, he could not help but reveal a look of satisfaction.
He gave a few more speeches to end the ceremony. Then, he announced the end of the ceremony.
After saying that, he flew into the sea of clouds in a flash and left with the wind.
The ceremonial officer, hundreds of guards, and maids on the altar hurriedly bowed and saluted.
Many guests also bowed and saluted, shouting, "Respectfully send off Your Highness Imperial Preceptor!"
After the Imperial Tutor left, the guests and Princes on the altar left the top of the pagoda one after another.
After they walked down the Apocalypse Pagoda, they were still discussing enthusiastically in groups.
Some were discussing An Suwan becoming the Heavenly Consort, while others were discussing the selection of the Territorial Lord of the Heavenly Stellar Region.
In short, the two things that happened today shocked the nine regions of the South and affected the entire human race!
