Next, Li Mu made a series of personnel arrangements for Lingxiao Universe to ensure that Lingxiao Universe could operate well when he was away in the future.
Everyone felt heavy-hearted about this, and couldn't help feeling that Li Mu was making arrangements for his funeral arrangements.
In response, Li Mu had to appease everyone again, emphasizing that what he was about to face this time might not be a crisis, but perhaps an opportunity.
After dismissing everyone, Li Mu opened the Lingxiao universe channel and flew in without looking back.
…………
When he came to the Qiongzu Universe again, Li Mu immediately felt that he had regained contact with the Lingxiao Palace's expatriates who had lost contact for 10 trillion years.
Countless unread messages suddenly emerged in his sea of consciousness. With a sweep of his spiritual sense, Li Mu digested all the messages.
After learning the content, Li Mu's face turned pale. Lingxiao Palace once controlled nearly one-third of the Qiongzu Universe, but now 10 trillion years have passed, and it has long been in ruins.
Part of the reason for this is that Lingxiao Palace has been leaderless for many years and has internal divisions, but the more important reason is that people from the six major forces are fanning the flames and carrying out a color revolution.
Even the official members of Lingxiao Palace tried their best to suppress the riot but to no avail. In fact, most of the members were killed by the rioters.
"Since Tianyi hasn't shown up yet, I'll start with you!" Li Mu murmured.
Then he had an idea and roughly checked the current situation of the surviving official members of Lingxiao Palace.
"Hmm~?" Li Mu raised his eyebrows when he saw Ji Gulan.
He discovered that Ji Gulan had actually been promoted to the Hongmeng Immortal Ancestor, and was at the peak of the 9th level, which was comparable to the ancestors of the six major forces.
This surprised him very much. After all, he had basically not provided any help to Ji Gulan over the years. Apart from granting Ji Gulan the level 1 branch of enlightenment that year, Ji Gulan's subsequent cultivation was entirely up to himself, and he was basically left alone.
Even under such circumstances, Ji Gulan actually cultivated to the 9th level of Hongmeng Immortal Ancestor in just 10 trillion years. How terrifying is this? Looking at the Lingqiong and the two universes, I am afraid there is no second one!
After a brief sigh, Li Mu then used his sea of consciousness to call out softly, "Ji Gulan."
"Palace...Palace Master?" Ji Gulan's voice trembled a little.
"It's me. Haha, you surprised me a little. You have been promoted to the 9th level of Hongmeng Immortal Ancestor in such a short time." Li Mu said with a smile.
After getting Li Mu's confirmation, Ji Gulan took a deep breath, adjusted her emotions, and then sent a message to Li Mu: "It's just a coincidence. Compared with the Palace Master, it's really insignificant."
"Haha, I'm different from you, so let's not talk about this." Li Mu smiled and continued to ask, "What role do you play in the Ji family now?"
“Reporting to the Palace Master, the cultivation level that I have shown to the outside world is only the 7th level of Hongmeng Immortal Ancestor, so now I am just an elder of the Ji family, ranking 8th.” Ji Gulan replied.
Li Mu nodded secretly after hearing this. The 8th ranked elder was definitely not low in the Ji family. He belonged to the decision-making class and could get a lot of secret information.
Thinking of this, Li Mu said: "Tell me about the current situation of the Qiongzu Universe."
Ji Gulan nodded, and then continued, "Palace Master, during the years you were away..."
…………
After listening to Ji Gulan's story, Li Mu had a general understanding of the current situation of the Qiongzu Universe.
According to Ji Gulan's intelligence, the Qiongzu Universe has once again returned to the era of absolute control by the six major forces. Basically, all the large areas that were once ruled by the Lingxiao Palace have been recovered by the six major forces. Only the Chaos Sea is left with some remnants of the Lingxiao Palace who are resisting stubbornly. However, according to Ji Gulan's understanding, the six major forces deliberately left the Chaos Sea unrecovered.
They knew that if Li Mu returned one day and saw the withered Lingxiao Palace, he would be furious and would most likely go straight to the Six Majors for a reckoning. But it would be a different story if he left behind a dying Chaos Realm. If Li Mu learned that there were still remnants of the Lingxiao Palace in the Chaos Sea, he would definitely go to the Chaos Sea to rescue them as soon as possible.
At that time, the elite of the six major forces guarding the Chaos Sea will be the first to know the news of Li Mu's return, and the six major forces will be able to turn passivity into initiative.
Some people may think that the ancestors of the six major forces are too arrogant. With their cultivation level not even reaching the Hongmeng Ancestor Realm, how dare they become enemies of Li Mu?
In fact, this was not the case. When they took action, they had already found out Li Mu's background. At that time, Li Mu was only more than 10 billion years old. At such an age, they were sure that Li Mu would never be able to break through to the ancestor of Hongmeng!
Even now, Li Mu is only a little over 10 trillion years old. It is just a dream for him to break through to the level of the Hongmeng Ancestor!
After all, which of the ancestors of the six major forces was not a favored child of heaven? Which of them was not an old monster who had lived for tens of trillions of years? Which of them was not stuck at the peak of the 9th level of Hongmeng Immortal Ancestor for more than trillions of years? They had not been able to take that last step for so many years, so how could Li Mu surpass them in 10 trillion years?
Therefore, they were able to have the confidence to encircle and suppress Li Mu.
In addition to these, Ji Gulan also had another piece of information that caught Li Mu's attention. Ji Haoxuan had actually been promoted to the peak of the 9th level of Hongmeng Immortal Ancestor 7 trillion years ago. Not long after, Ji Haoxuan took full control of the Ji family's affairs, and Ji Hao has never appeared since then. Of course, the Ji family's external statement was that Ji Hao was in seclusion to sprint to the Hongmeng Ancestor realm.
But Li Mu had a vague feeling that this matter was not that simple. Others did not know but he knew that Ji Haoxuan was the double body of Ji Hao. The reason why Ji Hao trained him was so that when Ji Haoxuan's cultivation level reached the same level as Ji Hao and him, he could merge with Ji Haoxuan and thereby break through!
