Although Chaos Beast Hun was a little skeptical about this place, Li Mu was its savior, and since Li Mu had explained it to it, it did not think too much about it. When it heard Li Mu say that he wanted to help it prove its truth, it immediately agreed to Li Mu's proposal and expressed its gratitude to Li Mu again and again.
Li Mu has always loved talents. Naturally, he was generous to potential stocks like Hun Zhi and directly granted him the qualification to become a first-level branch disciple.
After Hunzhi attained enlightenment, his cultivation level directly climbed to the peak level of the Heavenly Dao Divine Ancestor.
Upon seeing this, the other miners also expressed their willingness to be loyal to Lingxiao Palace, and all of them were granted the qualifications of certification ranging from level four to level six by Li Mu.
At this point, the number of members of Lingxiao Palace has climbed to 350,000. Jianmu has finally grown again. The shackles between the God of Heaven and the Immortal of Heaven have finally been broken. Li Mu has officially entered the realm of the Immortal of Heaven, and his strength is still rising rapidly, eventually staying at the peak realm of the Immortal of Heaven.
After Li Mu's breakthrough, General Yingwu directly advanced to the middle stage of Heavenly Dao Immortal Ancestor by relying on the remaining energy in his body. The same was true for Hunzhi, who advanced to the early stage of Heavenly Dao Immortal Ancestor.
Next, Li Mu received another wave of blessings from Heaven, which elevated Kunpeng and several other of his subordinates who were at the peak of Heavenly Dao Immortal Ancestor level to the early stage of Heavenly Dao Immortal Ancestor level.
However, it is regrettable that because Li Mu himself consumed too much energy from Jianmu in one breath, when he wanted to promote these Heavenly Dao Immortals again, he found that the energy blessed by Heavenly Dao had been almost consumed. Helplessly, he could only give up.
"Palace Master, Black Wind is dead. Why don't we use Black Wind City as our base in the Chaos Sea from now on?" Kunpeng suggested.
However, Li Mu waved his hand at Kunpeng's suggestion and said, "No need. Black Wind slaughtered Black Wind City in a frenzy, the Chaos Beast escaped, and Black Wind City has been destroyed. Let other forces fight for it."
Everyone was startled when they heard this, then they clasped their fists and said, "We understand."
“Haha, Elder Meng and Gulan, as survivors, please pass this matter on. With your background, I believe no one will dare to question it.” Li Mu said with a smile. Meng Ting and Ji Gulan were his eyes to be planted in the upper echelons of the Chaos Sea, and one could obtain intelligence on the Ji family, the number one force in the Qiongzu Universe. Naturally, Li Mu would not let them “die” like this. Of course, in order to increase credibility, he would also arrange for some seemingly unrelated people to stay in Black Wind City as survivors.
Next, Li Mu counted the names of the “survivors” and gave everyone a unified statement.
"he~tui." Just then, a sound of coughing was heard.
Li Mu frowned, and the other members of the Lingxiao Palace were also a little angry. What kind of occasion is this? Are you coughing here? Do you have any objections to the Palace Master?
When everyone saw the face of the person who was coughing up phlegm, they were all stunned. It turned out to be the natural born saint Hunzhi.
Hunzhi's cheeks turned red all of a sudden, and he wanted to crawl under the roots of the Jianmu tree. Everyone at this moment looked at him suspiciously, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Palace Master, please forgive me, I couldn't help it."
"It's okay, just pay more attention next time." Li Mu said speechlessly and helplessly.
"Thank you, Palace Master. I am ashamed." Hunzhi lowered his head and did not dare to look directly at Li Mu. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he looked at a ring-shaped object on the ground in confusion.
"Palace Master, what is this?" Hunzhi quickly raised the thing and showed it to Li Mu.
"Is this what you just vomited out?" Li Mu asked.
"Yes, Palace Master, I have always felt that there is a foreign object in my stomach. It might be indigestion. I feel very uncomfortable, so I circulated the energy in my body to force it out. However, considering the occasion, I did not spit it out immediately. Who knew that I couldn't help it just now and did such a vulgar thing, and vomited this thing by the way." Hunzhi said embarrassedly.
"This is the Qiankun Ring. I guess it should be the relic of Black Wind. Kunpeng, see what's inside." Li Mu ordered.
Kunpeng was delighted when he heard this. He took the Qiankun Ring from Hunzhi's hand and couldn't wait to explore inside.
"Palace Master, we've made a fortune! This old dog is really rich!" Kunpeng was shocked, "He has more than 8 billion Chaos Stones!"
"What?" Li Mu was also not calm after hearing this. 12.7 billion, what does this mean? Back then, Kunpeng, with the strength of the middle stage of the Void Immortal Ancestor, only earned a few pieces of Chaos Ore every year. Generally speaking, a mass of ore the size of the solar system contains only about 10 pieces of Chaos Ore.
"Palace Master, as the lord of a city, it is normal for Heifeng to have a fortune of 12.7 billion Chaos Stones. After all, the tax collection date that happens once every 100,000 years is approaching." Meng Ting explained.
"So, these 12.7 billion Chaos Stones not only include what Black Wind has plundered over the years, but also the taxes he has prepared for nearly 100,000 years." Li Mu nodded. This made sense. After all, Black Wind had lived for who knows how many years, and he had enslaved Black Wind City for hundreds of thousands of years. 12.7 billion Chaos Stones were not too exaggerated for him.
"Uh... Palace Master, Black Wind City has to pay 13.5 billion in taxes each time." Hei Yi couldn't help but say.
"Damn it!" Li Mu was dumbfounded. Is this Domain Lord Mansion so shady? Just like Heifeng, who enslaved the people of the city to mock and serve him, he still hasn't collected enough taxes. How can other slightly more normal forces survive?
However, Li Mu sighed a little and stopped thinking about it. After all, it had nothing to do with him. The Chaos Sea Lord's Mansion could not collect taxes from him. The people in Black Wind City were gone, so who would the Lord ask to collect taxes? These 13.5 billion Chaos Stones were an extra gain for Li Mu, and they would be useful in developing members of the Lingxiao Palace in the future.
Afterwards, Li Mu ignored Meng Ting's refusal and returned the more than 5 million Chaos Stones he had borrowed from her, and kept the rest for himself.
After all the issues were resolved, Li Mu returned to Black Wind City with a group of "survivors", while the rest stayed in the Lingxiao Universe.
Outside Black Wind City, a group of monks were attacking the city gate.
They were masters of Chaos Trading Company lying in ambush outside. The noise of the previous battle in the city aroused their vigilance. After failing to contact Meng Ting and others for a long time, they discovered something was wrong and launched a violent attack.
"Boom~" These people were quite powerful. Soon, the city gate was breached by them. Then they went straight into the Black Wind City without hesitation.
