Dressed in white and surrounded by the others, she walked forward slowly .

Abruptly, silence descended as everyone looked at her in captivation .
Her skin was lighter than snow and her eyes were like a clear spring . She stunned everyone present with her elegance and grace .
Her beauty and breath-taking elegance were evident .
No words could adequately describe her beauty .
Above all, her aloofness was her most attractive trait .
It was something that no one else in the entire world could come close to matching .
This was Leng Rushuang, the widely-acknowledaged No . 1 beauty in the Eternal World, the princess of the Kingdom Tang of the Eastern Land, and the heroine of this Selection Ceremony .
All the male cultivators were enchanted when they laid eyes on her .
Apart from Jian Wushuang, all the other geniuses cast her appreciative looks from their location in the center of the Drill Ground .
Even Xia Mang’s eyes were eager and his hands were clenched . “Only a lady of such attributes would deserve to be my wife,” he thought .

As Leng Rushuang sat down at the Void’s viewing point, everyone relaxed visibly .
Soon, Emperor Leng arrived .
He sat on the towering throne in the middle of the viewing point and waved his hand .
“Let’s get started . ”
Following his announcement, the sound of an ancient bell reverberated through the Drill Ground . It seemed to convey a special authority . Everyone became serious and respectful .
Emperor Leng looked down with a cold expression on his face . His grave voice echoed through the Drill Ground .
“I hold the Selection Ceremony today to find a suitable husband for Shuang’er . I won’t marry her to a nobody . In order to marry her, show your sincerity and good faith; secondly, show your talent and capability . ”
“The outcome of this ceremony depends on two criteria . First, the wedding gifts you have brought . Second, your strength . ”
“I will select the most outstanding man to be Shuang’er’s husband based on these two criteria . ”

His announcement was met with equanimity .
Everyone present was aware of the two criteria .
“There are 17 participants for the Selection Ceremony . Now please come up one at a time to show me your wedding gifts,” Emperor Leng was blunt .
The 17 geniuses in the Drill Ground, including Jian Wushuang, were visibly excited .
All of them were well-prepared for the Selection Ceremony . They had chosen their wedding gifts very carefully too .
Dongyan Chong from the Dongyan Clan went up first . He bowed to Emperor Leng and other experts on the stand .
“Emperor Leng, I am Dongyan Chong from the Dongyan Clan . I’ve brought 5 wedding gifts . I would like to marry the princess . ” Dongyan Chong wore a humble expression on his face as he produced an Interspatial Ring .
The Interspatial Ring did not belong to anyone, so everyone could clearly see what was inside with their consciousness .
Dongyan Chong continued, “The five wedding gifts I have prepared are Ancient Heart Elixir, Jiuqu Formation, part of the Xue Luo Realm map, a Treasure Mountain refined by various priceless treasures and ten advanced-level Emperor Weapons . ”
Without his explanation, the experts on the stand had already recognized these treasures when he produced the Interspatial Ring .

“Haha, so generous . ”
“Although the Ancient Heart Elixir, Jiuqu Formation and the Xue Luo Realm map piece are not that precious, they are rare and have special effects . Did Dongyan Clan collect these three treasures at the same time?”
“I’ve look closely at the Treasure Mountain . The treasures it refined were priceless . Its worth can be compared to billions of Divine Gems . In addition, look at the ten advanced-level Emperor Weapons . Such valuable wedding gifts!”
Many experts on the stand looked amazed .
The Master of Dongyan Clan looked proud .
Nobody knew how much the Dongyan Clan had paid to obtain such treasures .
While the gifts were valuable, it was clear that Emperor Leng remained unmoved .
It was obvious that Emperor Leng did not appreciate the five wedding gifts .
“Next . ”
His voice held no emotion . Emperor Leng did not comment on Dongyan Chong’s gifts .
Dongyan Chong frowned but could do nothing except stand back .
Thereafter, the other geniuses approached the stand to show their wedding gifts .
All the geniuses had outstanding backgrounds so their wedding gifts were impressive too . Some of them had amazed the people in the Drill Ground, and even the top experts on the stand . However, Emperor Leng showed little interest in them .
After 15 minutes, 15 of the 17 geniuses had presented their wedding gifts .
Among the 15 geniuses, Ku Yi, the personal disciple of Elder Deadwood, had presented a very rare Nine-colored Cloud Fruit . Many experts on the stand had been surprised by the gift and some were even envious .
Even Emperor Leng had been surprised . That had been the only gift which had evoked a response from him .
The 15 geniuses had stepped back, leaving two who stood at the stand quietly .
The two geniues left were Xia Mang from the Xia Clan, and… Jian Wushuang .
“Jian Wushuang, it’s just you and me now . ” Xia Mang looked at Jian Wushuang . “With your background, I’m curious what wedding gifts you will present . ”
Xia Mang was well aware that Ancient Sect, to which Jian Wushuang belonged, was just a sect of a normal realm . It was considered a powerful sect of that realm but was insignificant in the context of the Eternal World .
In addition, as far as he knew, Jian Wushuang’s Master was just in Eternal Realm . The only thing he could show off was his Senior Brother, Master Blood Saber .
Among the 17 geniuses, Jian Wushuang’s background wasn’t the least impressive, but it was far from outstanding .
