Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

Seeing Lu Chen staring at her, a hint of displeasure flashed in Yun Yudie's beautiful eyes.

Lu Chen then said, "Master, I helped you get out of the crisis at Xuan Yue Palace, but you exposed my identity instead. Isn't that a bit unfair?"

Yun Yudie said expressionlessly, "She is my disciple, and I do not want her to go astray."

Lu Chen glanced at Yun Yudie's entire body. Today, Yun Yudie was dressed in a plain white dress, her hair styled in a high bun. She didn't have as many accessories as usual, but she still looked aloof and noble.

Seeing Lu Chen suddenly staring at her with a seemingly fiery gaze, Yun Yudie frowned slightly, suddenly remembering her deal with Lu Chen.

Lu Chen said, "Now that Xuan Yue Palace has escaped the crisis, shouldn't Master also fulfill his promise?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Yudie's face remained expressionless. She calmly uttered a single word, "Okay," and then took the initiative to approach her soft couch.

She wouldn't go back on this deal, regardless of what kind of person Lu Chen was, since he had indeed saved the entire Xuan Yue Palace.

Seeing that Yun Yudie didn't renege on her promise, Lu Chen was somewhat surprised. He smiled and said, "Don't rush. Now that the Xuan Yue Palace's concealment formation has been destroyed, if we repair the formation, the people below will never see the sun again."

"Master, please go and repair the formation first. I will come to see you after the formation is repaired."

Hearing Lu Chen address him as "Master" repeatedly, Yun Yudie felt extremely awkward, but she didn't say anything more, only uttering two words, "Okay."

Immediately afterwards, Yun Yudie's figure turned into ice crystals and disappeared on the spot.

After Yun Yudie left the palace, Lu Chen smiled. Yun Yudie had only agreed to the transaction twice, but had not set a time limit.

One day is one time, ten years is one time. For immortals like them, going into seclusion for ten thousand years without eating or drinking is the norm. After Yun Yudie finishes dealing with the matters of Xuan Yue Palace, he will cultivate with Yun Yudie. That way, he can cultivate for as long as he wants.

Twice? Or even a hundred years at a time? That wouldn't be out of the question.

Yun Yudie had no idea what Lu Chen was thinking. She believed that the two times were about the same as the time it would take for an ordinary person to do that kind of thing.

After leaving the palace, Yun Yudie immediately led the elders of Xuan Yue Palace to repair the various formations of Xuan Yue Palace.

This repair of the formation consumed a large amount of immortal crystals from the Xuan Yue Palace, but fortunately, the Xuan Yue Palace is still quite wealthy and has not yet reached the point of lacking immortal crystals.

After the formation was repaired, Yun Yudie summoned all the elders to the council hall. Although Xuan Yue Palace had temporarily escaped the crisis, there were still many things to be done.

First, they left the territory they had been operating for over a billion years. Although they don't lack immortal crystals now, if things continue like this, the Xuan Yue Palace will eventually run out of resources.

Therefore, Xuan Yue Palace must expand its territory again. However, if Xuan Yue Palace expands its territory, it will inevitably clash with some forces in the wilderness.

Although the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Realm is vast, most of the places with abundant immortal energy have already been occupied. There are almost no places in the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Realm that have not yet been explored.

To gain more territory, one must seize it from others, and wars naturally ensue in the struggle for territory.

The Celestial Realm is indeed cruel; big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimp.

Ultimately, after discussion among the elders, they decided to first scout the vicinity to see if there were any other immortal sects or powerful figures nearby. If no other immortal sects were found, they would then make the area the sphere of influence of the Xuan Yue Palace. The Xuan Yue Palace had also just experienced a war, so the elders present intended to subdue those sects through peaceful means as much as possible, avoiding war if possible.

After discussing the expansion of territory, Immortal King Lingyin asked, "Palace Master, what should we do with the people of those immortal cities?"

Before the teleportation, Xuan Yue Palace brought all the immortals from the immortal city below to Xuan Yue Palace. That's tens of millions of people. These tens of millions of people followed Xuan Yue Palace to this wild land, so Xuan Yue Palace had to settle them properly.

Yun Yudie remained silent for a moment. She glanced at the elders present. Most of these elders had Dao partners, and those Dao partners had all come to Xuan Yue Palace, such as Immortal Lord Wei Xue's Dao partner.

The Daoist partners of these elders were all sect leaders or elders of some of the Xuan Yue Palace's affiliated forces. They never left the Xuan Yue Palace until the very last moment. Even though their affiliated forces were destroyed by the Blood Eagle Palace and the other two forces, they continued to help the Xuan Yue Palace resist those three forces.

Now that they have lost their own power, it would be unreasonable not to arrange a good place for them.

Soon, Yun Yudie had an idea, but she was still a little reluctant when she thought of the solution.

Because of Lu Chen and her sister's affair, she has always been somewhat averse to romantic relationships and even dislikes men, which is why she doesn't allow any men to join the Xuan Yue Palace she founded.

However, now that Lu Chen has come to Xuan Yue Palace, and considering that she herself will soon be cultivating with that scoundrel, there is no point in her continuing to hold onto her old beliefs.

At this moment, Yun Yudie said directly, "Next, we will conduct the disciple selection. Regardless of gender, anyone who can pass the test can become a disciple of the Xuan Yue Palace."

Upon hearing Yun Yudie's words, the elders present were all stunned. They clearly hadn't expected Yun Yudie to be willing to recruit male disciples.

Oh, wait, didn't their temple master already recruit male disciples a long time ago...?

However, that male disciple doesn't seem to be a simple male disciple.

They all heard Yun Yudie's words while they were in the training ground, and they also learned that Chen Lu was Lu Chen.

However you look at it, this is a huge change for the Xuan Yue Palace.

At this moment, Immortal King Lingyin continued to ask, "Then... what about the sect leaders or elders of those affiliated forces? How will they be arranged?"

Lingyin Immortal King thought to himself, those sect leaders and elders of the affiliated forces have lost everything for Xuan Yue Palace, so naturally they cannot be disheartened. Now that Xuan Yue Palace is even recruiting male disciples, then the sect leaders and elders of those affiliated sects should also be recruited.

Yun Yudie said, "Have all those with the cultivation of Immortal Lord go to Lu Chen and let him examine them to see if they have betrayed the Xuan Yue Palace. If not, make them elders of the outer hall. If they perform well, transfer them to the inner hall as elders of the inner hall."

Yun Yudie thought to herself that no matter whether Lu Chen had the means to test whether those people had betrayed Xuan Yue Palace, as long as this news was released, if there were really people among them who had betrayed Xuan Yue Palace, they would naturally not be able to sit still and would soon reveal their true colors.

If Lu Chen had the means to identify whether they had betrayed him, it would be even more convenient; he could simply find the traitors and eliminate them.

She wasn't worried at all that Lu Chen would cause trouble in this matter. After all, Lu Chen had already taken control of half of Xuan Yue Palace. In addition, Lu Chen was her sister's man, and this scoundrel was trying to take advantage of her. Surely he wouldn't try to harm her again at this point.

Upon hearing Yun Yudie directly mention Lu Chen's name, the elders present fell silent.

Yun Yudie then realized what was happening and said, "From now on, you should still call him Chen Lu." (End of Chapter)
