A mont after the announcent, from the distant sky, a carriage pulled by six flying horses approached the sect’s grounds. This was the sa carriage that he had always used in the past, including during his wedding with Sylphia.
He ca in the sa style as he had for his wedding with Sylphia. The carriage later landed right in front of the main gate, before the mbers of the sect opened the carriage’s door.
A mont later, Aldrian’s figure stepped down from the carriage, revealing himself to anyone across the continent who could see the wedding ceremony through the screens. Once again, they were srized by his existence.
Different from his attire when he married Sylphia, at this mont, he wore a traditional red wedding robe that did not diminish his charm.
In fact, it increased his charm, giving him a kind of devilish allure that captivated anyone who saw him. His long red hair, combined with the red robe that fit his firm body, made him resemble a devilishly handso villain stepping into the scene.
"To the brightest star and eternal light, we greet Your Majesty, the Great Emperor!"
Many people on the sect’s grounds instantly shouted in unison and kowtowed in Aldrian’s direction. Many people from outside the Aster Empire also bowed toward him.
"Rise," he said, and only then did they stop kowtowing and bow instead.
He started to walk along the red carpet until he finally entered the hall, where he could see Baek Jimin and all of her family mbers. Sylphia and Angelica sat below the platform, looking at him with happy expressions.
Celestina was in Sylphia’s arms and also showed a happy expression. She wanted to go to him, but Sylphia kept holding her so she would not fall and would not disturb the ceremony. There were also other acquaintances of his in the hall.
Still, his focus was on his empress for today, Baek Jimin, who was already waiting for him on the platform.
He warmly smiled as he continued walking closer, and Baek Jimin also showed her beautiful smile to him. She almost could not help holding back her tears of happiness at this mont.
After Aldrian finally reached the platform and stood beside Baek Jimin, Sect Master Ryu suddenly walked from the side and onto the platform, stopping not far from the groom and the bride.
"From this mont, I will be the one guiding the wedding ceremony," he said as he looked at Aldrian and Baek Jimin. Aldrian nodded, signaling him to start.
Sect Master Ryu understood and turned to look at the guests again.
"For the wedding’s main event, there is not much difference from the wedding procession we usually have among demon cultivators. The only thing that is different is that there will be a vow declaration by the groom and the bride later. Oh, and there will also be a lecture from His Majesty, so be prepared," he said, which caused many people to beco astonished.
Aldrian giving another lecture was sothing they could not let pass. The last ti he gave a mass lecture, during his parents’ wedding, it truly brought many benefits to the populace across the continent.
Many made breakthroughs in their cultivation, and many gained enlightennt. At that mont, the entire Aster Empire suddenly experienced a boost in overall strength. Geniuses also began appearing one by one because of the enlightennt they received.
Since that day, they had wondered when Aldrian would give another lecture, and finally, the ti was here.
Those from outside the empire who had never heard Aldrian’s lecture were also curious about it. They had already heard how his lectures could easily grant enlightennt to cultivators. They wondered whether this would also be the case for those in the Immortal Transition Realm.
As the atmosphere grew filled with anticipation, Sect Master Ryu continued.
"Now, let us start the main event," he said, then paused for a mont.
"First, bow toward the Heavenly Demon as the one who shaped us demon cultivators, the one who made it possible for us to gain strength through his knowledge."
After that, Aldrian and Baek Jimin looked upward and bowed once. For demon cultivators, the Heavenly Demon’s position was the sa as the heavens. That was why bowing toward the Heavenly Demon was the sa as bowing toward the heavens.
"Second, bow toward the parents who raised you from infancy."
Aldrian and Baek Jimin then faced their respective parents and bowed. Sect Master Baek’s tears kept flowing at this mont. Even though she kept wiping them away, they continued to flow, wetting her cheeks.
Baek Jimin also could not hold back her tears, and once again, she rembered her father.
Beside her mother was a vacant seat that would have been where her father sat if he were still here.
She could not help imagining that her father was there with them, sitting there with a touched expression.
At this mont, both she and Sect Master Baek imagined that their small family was complete. In this joyous mont, it showed just how happy they were.
After the bow, Sect Master Ryu continued.
"The third bow, bow toward each other, showing respect toward one another and a sign that they are ready to start their lives together."
Aldrian and Baek Jimin then faced each other with smiling expressions, despite Baek Jimin’s eyes already being wet with tears. They bowed once before Sect Master Ryu continued.
"Next is the vow declaration from the groom and the bride," but then Sect Master Ryu hurriedly spoke again.
"Oh, and please brace yourselves for the heavens’ reaction. We were truly given a shock the last ti, so we had better be prepared this ti."
Many chuckled and giggled upon hearing that, and those who had not experienced Aldrian’s wedding with Sylphia felt confused.
However, although many laughed at the joke, they still prepared seriously for the heavens’ reaction. They would not be caught off guard like last ti.
A mont later, after Aldrian felt that everyone was ready, he lifted Baek Jimin’s veil, revealing her beautiful face. He then declared his vow with a smile.
"I’m Aldrian Aster. I will always love you and cherish you, in better or worse, in richer or poorer, In sickness and in health until death do us part. Even if you leave , I will pursue you. If I ever lose my affection for you, I would kill myself before that happens."
For those who heard his vow for the first ti, they were shocked by how extre it was, but Aldrian was still not finished yet.
"I swear upon the heavens, with the entire universe as my witness, that if I ever leave my wife unjustly, stop loving her, or treat her badly, then the heavens may send their strongest tribulation as punishnt and kill on the spot. May the heavens and all the laws that make up the universe curse for thousands of lives."
Rumble!
The heavens showed their reaction. Dark clouds manifested, followed by rumbling thunder, and the pressure began to descend.
Because the populace was already prepared, they reacted much better than during Aldrian’s wedding with Sylphia. Aldrian also strengthened his domain to withstand the pressure from the heavens, protecting everyone, but mainly his family and Baek Jimin.
At this mont, because the wedding was held indoors, Aldrian further strengthened his domain so the pressure would not collapse the building. Baek Jimin, who stood in front of Aldrian, could sense the heavy pressure directed toward him.
She hugged him tightly as the aura from the heavens was truly terrifying, even though the pressure she felt was not as heavy as during his wedding with Sylphia.
No matter what, this was still the heavens, a force that shaped the laws of the entire universe.
If it reacted, she could not help but feel afraid.
The pressure continued for more than fifteen seconds before the dark clouds finally dissipated, revealing a clear sky once again.
The people sighed in relief as the atmosphere returned to normal, while those who experienced it for the first ti thought that Aldrian was already crazy!
To think that Aldrian dared to go that extre just for a woman!
Baek Jimin then separated from Aldrian, and finally, it was her turn to declare her vow.
"I’m Baek Jimin. I will always love you and cherish you, in better or worse, in richer or poorer, In sickness and in health until death do us part. Even if you leave , I will pursue you. If I ever lose my affection for you, I would kill myself before that happens."
What she said was the sa as Sylphia’s vow.
However, next, she decided to be different and followed Aldrian instead.
"I swear upon the heavens, with the entire universe as my witness, that if I ever leave my husband unjustly, stop loving him, or treat him badly, then the heavens may send their strongest tribulation as punishnt and kill on the spot. May the heavens and all the laws that make up the universe curse for thousands of lives."
The people raised their eyebrows, and many sighed while looking toward the sky. The pressure ca again, and the dark clouds returned.
Again?
