The Shining Star Above The Heaven-Chapter 986: The Second Wedding 3

Aldrian, who heard Baek Jimin declaring the same vows as him, did not hesitate to once again strengthen his domain and protect her.

At this moment, the pressure and aura focused on her, which was very different from when she had merely stood near him earlier.

If he did not protect her, she would likely have been on her knees because of the pressure. He wanted to keep her dignity as one of his empresses, and he did not want her to feel embarrassed.

Aldrian hugged her body while he himself was also under the heavens’ pressure, as he could see Baek Jimin enduring the terrible aura from the heavens that was now focused on her.

Despite her being one of his women, but because he had already asked the heavens to treat him as they would treat anyone who made an oath using the heavens, Baek Jimin also received the same treatment.

The populace across the continent once again felt the effect, but it was as if they were already used to it, and they reacted more prepared than earlier.

After the same amount of time as the previous heaven’s reaction, the pressure disappeared and the dark clouds dissipated. The people could breathe in relief once again.

However, they wondered if Aldrian were to have more women in his harem in the future and marry them, would they always have to witness the heavens’ reaction?

After the pressure was gone, Aldrian and Baek Jimin separated and smiled at each other. Baek Jimin’s soul was still shaken because of the aftereffects of the heavens’ aura, but she still felt happy because, at this moment, they were finally officially husband and wife.

Aldrian then grabbed her hand and gently stroked it.

"Ouff, that was still quite tense. Luckily, we already prepared for it," Sect Master Ryu suddenly said, which made the others chuckle.

"Anyway, those were truly romantic vows declared by the groom and bride, and their declaration is also a sign that they are now officially husband and wife. Congratulations to Your Majesty, Emperor Aldrian, and Empress Baek Jimin," he added.

A split second after Sect Master Ryu’s announcement, the celebratory music resounded once again, further heightening the festive atmosphere. Many also celebrated it with cheering and clapping their hands.

Aldrian, who could sense the joyous atmosphere across the empire, allowed it to continue for a few moments before he spoke.

"Thank you for all of your support and for taking the time to join me in this joyous moment of my life. Now, I do not want to give nothing in return after all the support you have given me, so let me give you a gift. I hope that with this gift, it can help your lives in the future."

All the people who heard this turned ecstatic and knew that Aldrian was about to give his lecture.

"Now, please look for a comfortable place and take a meditation position. I will start my lecture shortly."

The populace across the continent then looked for places to sit for meditation. They did not care where it was, as long as they could concentrate and sit comfortably.

That was why, at this moment, across all places on the continent, people could be seen sitting in meditation. Whether it was on the streets, in plazas, inside buildings, on top of tree branches, and elsewhere.

Baek Jimin also sat beside Aldrian, as this lecture would also give her tremendous benefits. Aldrian swept his gaze over the guests while his domain sense spread across the continent, making sure that everyone was ready.

His gaze then shifted to Celestina, who was still in Sylphia’s arms, before he made her float toward him. It was so Celestina would not disturb Sylphia during her cultivation later.

Sylphia released Celestina as the little child happily floated toward Aldrian.

Celestina then landed in his arms, instantly hugging his neck and giggling. He smiled warmly before looking at the guests once again.

"Then I will start." He then began his lecture about cultivation. His voice could be heard across the entire continent, and there was no one who did not hear it.

The voice itself was not spread solely because of the screens placed in many locations across the continent, but because Aldrian used his domain to spread his voice. Along with his voice, he also imbued it with sound laws and even hypnotic effects, allowing those who heard him to more easily fall into enlightenment state.

His lecture was about cultivation and the many elements comprehended by cultivators. He wanted to give great benefits to all cultivators, so he gave a lecture that also encompassed various elements.

As time passed, many entered enlightenment state, and later, some finally made breakthroughs in their cultivation.

The number of people making breakthroughs continued to increase, creating a spectacular scene as energy became quite chaotic in many places.

Those who broke through to the emperor stage instantly rose from their positions and moved toward deserted areas to undergo their heavenly tribulations.

Many were disturbed by the chaotic situation, which caused them to fall out of their enlightenment state, but they continued trying to meditate while listening to Aldrian’s lecture.

Amazingly, those who were disturbed were able to enter enlightenment state again after continuing to hear Aldrian’s lecture. This alone showed how Aldrian’s lecture truly contained profound content and could easily hypnotize those who listened to it.

The lecture went on for more than seven hours before Aldrian finally stopped.

As many people opened their eyes and felt the changes within themselves, they were truly amazed. Without hesitation, they instantly kowtowed toward Aldrian’s direction.

"Thank you for your lecture, Your Majesty!" they shouted in unison.

Even the leaders of various factions from outside of the Aster empire at this moment lowered their bodies to a level they had never lowered before as leaders of their organizations.

In front of the knowledge and enlightenment they had just received from Aldrian, they could not help but admire the depth and profundity of Aldrian’s understanding of cultivation.

Even pseudo immortal stage cultivators benefited from the lecture, gaining new insights that they could use in the future. At their level, gaining insight or enlightenment was rare, as their comprehension and perspective on cultivation were already deep.

If they could gain enlightenment, then it was their fortune, and it could greatly boost their cultivation and comprehension in the future when they would break through to higher realms.

However, among the guests, there was one figure who, at this moment, felt confused after hearing the lecture.

That person was Randolf.

He had to admit that Aldrian’s lecture was truly profound, so much so that he himself had gained enlightenment because of it.

He had already considered Aldrian to be an apostle of an unknown god, despite the many abnormal things about him that made Randolf unsure of Aldrian’s true identity.

However, when Aldrian gave his lecture, he could not help but remember a time in the past when he had once had the chance to hear his god’s lecture.

That was one of the best moments of his life as an apostle, and he could still remember how profound his god’s knowledge was, to the point that he could not absorb all of the lecture.

He did not know why, but suddenly remembering that lecture, he could not help but compare it to Aldrian’s.

The way Aldrian explained cultivation was more or less the same as his god.

Did Aldrian also once have the chance to hear his own god’s lecture in the past?

That might have been the case, but giving a lecture was another matter entirely. If Aldrian himself was the one giving the lecture, then he had to have comprehended the content of the lecture himself in order to teach others.

From what Randolf felt, Aldrian had truly comprehended the content of his own lecture.

The thing was, he, Randolf, the apostle, found that he could not absorb all of Aldrian’s lecture, just like when he had heard his god’s lecture.

This astonished him.

He still could not absorb his god’s lecture back then, but Aldrian seemed able to do so.

Just how great was Aldrian’s comprehension ability?

’Or is he just like one of my wild guesses, that he might be the reincarnation of a god?’ he thought solemnly.

Although he had never heard of something like a god’s reincarnation becoming an apostle of another god, from his understanding, that might be possible if that god was willing to become another god’s apostle.

That was only one of his wild guesses, born from how absurd Aldrian’s strength and abilities were.

After the lecture just now, he simply could not help but feel that this possibility had increased.

’Uuhf, this is getting more complicated and dangerous.’

As Randolf pondered Aldrian’s true identity, on the platform, Aldrian finally spoke.

"Rise. I hope that all of you could benefit from this lecture, and as you grow stronger, you can use your strength to do good for yourselves and also for your surroundings. That is all from me."

Bong! Bong! Bong!

The celebratory music resounded once again, and Aldrian and Baek Jimin could finally speak with their family and the guests. He conversed with many people as they came to congratulate him.

From his acquaintances to those he was seeing for the first time.

They also brought their gift that especially directed to Baek Jimin. They knew that to elevate their image, one of the ways was to please his woman.

If his woman was pleased, then he would be pleased as well.

The ceremony went on until the sun sank, and it completely concluded after the closing banquet.

After that, Aldrian and Baek Jimin finally entered their bridal chamber.
