That’s right, when Li Mu returned to Earth this time, the first group of his old friends on Earth who had followed him but had not been promoted to creator gods before had basically all opened up their own universes in the past 100,000 years and successfully been promoted to the ranks of creator gods.

Even though Zhang Jingxuan and his wife had lagged behind others for so many years because of Zhang Hao's matter, they seemed to have been given a shot of chicken blood and successfully created their own universe at the last moment when Li Mu left the earth during these 100,000 years.

All of this is certainly the result of everyone's hard work, but the most important thing is Li Mu's personal guidance to them.

"The Palace Master has already prepared your enlightenment ceremony. Please follow me." The Lingxiao Palace member said to everyone.

Then he led a group of people to the square at the feet of Jianmu.

At this time, the square was already crowded with a large number of people, and almost all the palace staff who were not out on field trips were present.

Seeing Li Zhenghao and others arrive, Li Mu immediately announced the official start of the ceremony.

This time, not only Li Mu’s relatives and friends on Earth were present, but also the new members who had recently joined the Lingxiao Palace.

According to different personal qualifications, Li Mu assigned corresponding branches of enlightenment to everyone. Then a white light fell from the top of Jianmu and led everyone up.

Now, the transmission channel to the Qiongzu Universe, which opens once every 100,000 years, has arrived. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lingxiao Hall has recruited many outstanding monks from the branch halls in the major domains of the Qiongzu Universe and absorbed them into the Lingxiao Universe as formal members, making the formal members as huge as 20 trillion. The number of members in the outer halls of the Qiongzu Universe is even more countless. Even though Jianmu has been upgraded many times, the branches of the Dao are not enough.

After all, the current Lingxiao Jianmu only has 10,000 first-level branches, 300,000 second-level branches, 30 million third-level branches, 10 billion fourth-level branches, 200 billion fifth-level branches, and 30 trillion sixth-level branches, which are simply insignificant compared to the huge number of members of the Lingxiao Palace, especially the high-level branches such as the first and second levels are extremely scarce.

Therefore, Li Mu is not as generous as before when assigning branches of enlightenment to the new palace members.

Basically, those cultivators who had achieved enlightenment in the Qiongzu Jianmu branch before, when they arrived at the Lingxiao Universe, Li Mu still assigned them the same level of branches to achieve enlightenment. Some unlucky ones even had their level of enlightenment branches lowered after joining the Lingxiao Universe.

However, Lingxiao Palace has a complete promotion mechanism. As long as the cultivator has accumulated enough points and his cultivation is at the peak of the current branch of the Dao, he can apply to upgrade the level of the branch of the Dao.

Of course, this set is only for ordinary palace members. Li Mu was not stingy with his relatives such as Li Mu’s grandfather Li Zhenghao and grandfather Chen Wen, and directly gave them the first-level branch of the Dao.

As for Zhao Dongsheng, Zhang Jingxuan and others, they were granted the second-level branches to allow them to prove their truth. As for whether they can upgrade to the next level in the future, that depends on their performance.

In the blink of an eye, a few days passed, and those who had achieved enlightenment fell from Jianmu one after another, leaving only Li Zhenghao and others who were still basking in the blessings of heaven, and their cultivation level was rapidly rising.

The members of Lingxiao Palace did not feel the slightest bit of resentment towards Li Mu's blatant double standard behavior. After all, due to the influence of the Great Dao, they were absolutely loyal to Li Mu. In their opinion, whatever Li Mu did was right.

Another month passed, and Li Zhenghao and others finished bathing in the blessings of heaven one after another.

Of course, depending on the closeness of their relationship, the amount of heavenly blessing Li Mu bestowed on them would also be different.

Among them, Li Zhenghao, Chen Wen, Yang Wanqing and other immediate relatives as well as Yin Linyuan's family, Li Mu raised their cultivation to the Hongmeng Immortal Ancestor Realm in one breath.

Li Mu has no direct blood relationship with Yin Linyuan's family, but they are Yin Ruolan's blood relatives on Earth after all. Although Yin Ruolan is not here, Li Mu will not treat them unfairly.

Li Mu was also not stingy with Zhao Dongsheng and others, and also raised their cultivation to the level of Chaos Immortal Ancestor.

As for Miao Xiaobai, he is quite special. He does not follow the path of cultivation, but the martial arts of the Yin Universe. In the Yin Universe, there is also a Jianmu tree, on which there are also branches of enlightenment. Since there are basically no cultivators in the realm of creator gods in the Yin Universe, it would be a waste to keep those branches of enlightenment there. As the first creator god of the Yin Universe, Miao Xiaobai naturally obtained the first-level branch enlightenment.

Li Mu also improved his cultivation to the Hongmeng Immortal Ancestor Realm, hoping that he would be able to take charge of the overall situation in the Yin Universe and cultivate more talents so that those who have attained the Tao can prosper quickly.

In fact, Li Mu is not worried about the source of talents in the Yin Universe. Many attributes of the two universes are completely opposite. The ordinary people with worse qualifications in the Yin Universe are more suitable for cultivation in the Yang Universe. Similarly, the more mediocre people in the Yang Universe are, the more they can thrive in the Yin Universe.

If one wants to expand the talent pool of the Yin Universe, he only needs to let his subordinates search for people who have no qualifications for cultivation in their own small universe and then send them to the Yin Universe.

Of course, the character of those selected must also be good enough.

…………

After everyone finished bathing in the blessing of Heaven, Li Mu glanced at the endless crowd of members of the Lingxiao Palace and said in a deep voice: "I think everyone has guessed that the reason I called you here this time is not to let you watch the ceremony of enlightenment, but to announce a major decision to you."

The palace officials were all surprised and suspicious when they heard this. After all, it was the first time they heard Li Mu say this to them so seriously.

"Not long ago, I received a secret report that members of the six major forces in the Qiongzu Universe are gathering, and their target is suspected to be directly targeting my Lingxiao Palace!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the members of Lingxiao Palace were shocked. They all showed a look of horror and started to discuss with each other.

Li Mu had already anticipated the performance of the hall members. Although they were loyal to Li Mu, the other party was one of the six strongest organizations with strong foundation and strength in the Qiongzu Universe. It was understandable that everyone was worried.

In this regard, Li Mu did not interrupt them, but waited for everyone to calm down before continuing: "If they want to attack us, we will fight them. Although they have a deeper foundation, we can mobilize the resources of an entire high-dimensional universe. Even nearly half of the territory of the Qiongzu Universe is in the hands of Lingxiao Palace. If we go to war with the six major forces, the advantage is on my side!"

Upon hearing this, the monks nodded secretly in their hearts. After hearing what Li Mu said, they felt a lot more relaxed.

"Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that their target is not Lingxiao Palace, but we also need to prepare for the battle in advance. Here, I declare that Lingxiao Palace has officially entered the first level of combat readiness. All palace members must stay at their posts and ensure that they can be mobilized at any time!"

"We obey your command!" said all the hall members in unison.
