Three days later, in the Wanjie Palace.

A golden radiance emanated from the high sun, casting a thick golden cloak over the sky, enveloping the city where the Wanjie Palace was located. The originally red-walled and green-tiled buildings also reflected a golden light under the sunlight.

The weather was good, and the mood of ordinary cultivators was good.

But the many saints and geniuses of the Wanjie Palace were in the council chamber, looking at the unbelievably beautiful woman before them with complex emotions.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem with me being the vice general?"

Jiang Qingsnow raised her head proudly, her snow-white neck as slender and straight as a swan.

She came here to announce to the entire Wanjie Palace that she had returned.

After being betrayed by the White Jade Saint, she thought that her loyal subordinates had also joined the White Jade Saint's camp.

Naturally, these people would not help Jiang Qingsnow recruit subordinates, so she lost the capital to compete for the position of Palace Master in the Wanjie Palace.

If she wanted to become the Palace Master of the Wanjie Palace, Jiang Qingsnow had to meet two requirements.

Prestige and influence.

The former was to improve her reputation among the elders, and the latter was to defeat other competitors.

Jiang Qingsnow, who had just returned, was almost zero in both aspects.

Naturally, she had to find a way to improve her prestige and recruit people.

This expedition was a very good opportunity.

"Saint Qingsnow, this expedition is also intended to let the younger generation gain experience. As for your..."

An elder hesitated to speak.

"I am also part of the younger generation. I am only in my twenties in this reincarnated body," Jiang Qingsnow said confidently.

Reincarnation does not happen immediately after death.

On the contrary, the true spirit often stays in the cycle for a period of time.

The specific duration varies from person to person.

Jiang Qingsnow had stayed in the cycle for nearly a hundred years before reincarnating into the Azure Blue Continent.

"This..."

Several elders looked at each other, seemingly unable to make up their minds.

At this moment, a saint with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks grinned.

"Qingsnow Saint, aren't you shameless? You've lived for thousands of years, and after reincarnating and starting over, you still consider yourself part of the younger generation. Do you really want to participate in this trial that belongs to the younger generation?"

Jiang Qingsnow glanced at the person and sneered, "So it's Saint Jade Sword. Have you recovered from your injuries? Do you want me to give you some medicine?"

The face of Saint Jade Sword visibly darkened.

The two had a long-standing conflict, which began when Saint Jade Sword pursued Jiang Qingsnow but was rejected and became furious.

So when exploring a forbidden place in the Wanjie Palace, Jiang Qingsnow was ambushed by him. Unexpectedly, Jiang Qingsnow was prepared and not only avoided the ambush but also injured him with a trap she set.

After this incident was exposed, Saint Jade Sword was also punished by the Elder Council.

Although he had recovered from his injuries, this incident became a lifelong shame for him.

"Jiang Qingsnow, you're only in the Emperor Realm now. How dare you provoke me?"

Jiang Qingsnow just smiled and didn't answer. Instead, she turned to look at the people from the Elder Council.

Currently, the Elder Council had the final say in the Wanjie Palace.

"If Saint Qingsnow wants to be the vice general, there is indeed no one more suitable among the younger generation of the Wanjie Palace. Among the younger generation of other forces, there are also some reincarnated individuals. There is no reason why we in the Wanjie Palace cannot do the same."

The saints also nodded one after another.

Many geniuses believed that they were not born in a golden age and chose to seal themselves, waiting for a golden age to be born and compete with the geniuses of that golden age.

There were also some divine beasts that had lived for tens of thousands of years and transformed into human form, coming to compete with the contemporary geniuses.

In terms of age and past, it didn't matter much.

Even Saint Jade Sword didn't say anything.

Because he was currently frantically communicating with the White Jade Saint, wanting to ask if the White Jade Saint knew anything about Jiang Qingsnow's return.

But it seemed...

The White Jade Saint was nowhere to be found?

The young geniuses also had no objections.

The cultivation level of the Holy Emperor Realm is unparalleled among the younger generation.

Haven't you seen people like the Rainflower Young Emperor? Just with his cultivation level, he is already considered a top genius in the Immortal Domain.

With Jiang Qingxue leading them, they have the confidence to challenge the strength of the Ten Thousand Realms Palace.

"Well then... let's vote by raising our hands," said the elder sitting in the main seat slowly. "Those in favor, raise your hands."

In an instant, many hands were raised in the entire council chamber.

In terms of quantity, they accounted for about seventy percent of the people in the council chamber.

"It seems that most people agree to let Saint Jiang Qingxue take the position of vice general. In that case... let's give the position of vice general to Saint Jiang Qingxue," the elder in the main seat looked around and nodded slightly, giving a faint smile to Jiang Qingxue unnoticed by others.

And seeing that she had obtained the position of vice general, a smile appeared on Jiang Qingxue's face, and a cunning look appeared in her eyes.

In order to handle the Elder Council, she had used some secrets from her past life in exchange.

Otherwise, how could so many saints agree?

Although it was a bit painful, Jiang Qingxue felt that it was worth it.

Because this was the first task given to her by Gu Lingxiao.

She couldn't let him down.

...

The Gu Family, the land of fate.

The azure sky seemed within reach, and the rich spiritual energy filled this place as if it were free. Verdant trees grew on the grass, emitting an inexplicable aura.

This was a cultivation place created by the ancestors of the Gu Family. The richness of the spiritual energy here was a thousand times greater than the outside world, surpassing even the top Grotto-Heaven blessed lands.

However, the greatest advantage of cultivating here was not the spiritual energy, but the better comprehension of the Great Dao. Because every tree here was an Enlightenment Tree.

Sitting under a tree to cultivate and comprehend would greatly enhance one's affinity with the Great Dao.

Under each tree was a spot for cultivation.

In the outside world, even saints might not be able to obtain an Enlightenment Tree.

Just taking one out would cause countless saints to fight over it.

But in the Gu Family, as long as one was a member of the Gu Family, they were qualified to enjoy the benefits from the Enlightenment Trees.

This was the foundation of the secluded Gu Family.

Under a corner Enlightenment Tree, Lingyue, with twin ponytails, was quietly cultivating.

This was not her first time cultivating here.

Thanks to her relationship with Gu Lingxiao, even though she was not a member of the Gu Family, she could still cultivate here.

Every cultivation session greatly benefited her strength.

But this time, Lingyue felt a bit restless during her cultivation.

Because her mind was filled with thoughts of Gu Lingxiao.

Dominant, majestic, cold, and ruthless.

She could feel that Gu Lingxiao had no feelings for her at all. From beginning to end, he treated her as a tool.

A tool to awaken Ye Han's bloodline, a tool to lead the charge for him, a tool to satisfy his desires...

But undeniable was the fact that during her time in the Gu Family, it was the most peaceful time she had ever experienced.

She didn't have to worry about her enemies discovering her whereabouts, nor did she have to worry about how to improve her cultivation. She didn't even have to worry about how to rebuild the two clans in the future.

Because the power behind her was incredibly strong.

Every time she cultivated, she felt like she had returned to the past.

Carefree, able to let go of all burdens.

"Just with a little bit of sweetness, you've already given up resistance," Lingyue sighed, soberly sinking into her thoughts.

She no longer wanted to resist now, thinking that this kind of life was also good.

Just then, a voice transmission entered her mind.

Lingyue's eyes brightened, then she closed her eyes and blushed with a hint of shyness as she transmitted her voice to the person on the other side.

"Itchy..."

Her fair and delicate face turned red rapidly, like a burning cloud.

Even though it was impossible for anyone to eavesdrop on their voice transmission, she was still extremely shy. After stomping her foot, she disappeared into the Zhiqian Sword and controlled it to fly into the distance.
