Chu Ming never thought that there would be such a big hidden danger waiting for him.
If Yu Mao's incident hadn't reminded him this time, he might have been kept in the dark.
After hearing Chu Ming's words, Tianlao became even more panicked.
"The old slave is just a tool spirit. If he leaves the Heavenly Palace area or if the Heavenly Palace is damaged, he will be destroyed. How can he become the master?"
Chu Ming didn't seem to accept his explanation at all. He just looked at Tianlao coldly but said nothing.
Although he was just a weapon spirit, Tianlao's face showed various color changes, which showed how nervous he was.
"I advise you to tell the truth. While I still have the patience to listen to your explanation, this is also an opportunity for you. Otherwise, don't blame me for ruthlessly ruining this place."
After saying this, Chu Ming's eyes gradually became sharp, and he shot Tianlao's eyes for the first time.
The other party was also shocked by Chu Ming's attitude. He knew in his heart that although the young master was young, he was a decisive and decisive hero.
If you really offend him, it is not impossible to destroy the Heavenly Palace.
Although he didn't think that the warriors of Shanhai Continent had this ability, Tian Lao always looked at Chu Ming in a different light. As long as he wanted to do something, there was nothing he couldn't accomplish.
"Master, please calm down. I will tell you the whole truth now. Please give me another chance."
At this time, Tianlao no longer has the demeanor of a worldly expert. There is no more "holding" feeling, but more reality.
"Actually, like Yu Mao, you can only be regarded as half the master of the Tiangong. If you want to become the real master of the Tiangong, you must completely control the old slave, the weapon spirit of the Tiangong."
Seeing his appearance, Chu Ming thought of the scene when he first met Tian Lao.
At that time, Chu Ming once asked him if he was the weapon spirit of the Tiangong. At that time, Tianlao denied it after being stunned, but he was vague about his identity.
Now it seems that it is impossible to justify it.
It was just that he ignored the past at the time that allowed him to successfully hide it for so many years.
Seemingly aware of Chu Ming's ugly expression, Tian Lao hurriedly made amends.
"Since you moved into the Heavenly Palace, this old slave has been doing his best to assist you and has never dared to slack off. Please be aware of this, Master."
"Don't call me master, I am not your master."
Chu Ming's words were like a bucket of ice water pouring down Tian Lao's heart. He knew that if he didn't tell the truth, he might not be able to quell the other party's anger.
"I did use scheming, but it was all an act of self-preservation out of desperation, because once I truly control the Heavenly Palace, I can control the life and death of the old slave."
"I'm afraid that if I meet that kind of unreliable warrior, when their life is about to end, I will be buried with them."
"And Yu Mao's appearance made me more convinced of this idea."
Just as Chu Ming expected, "Tiangong" should be a very high-level magic weapon, and the weapon spirit derived from it is naturally not a good person, but he didn't expect that Tianlao's "cunning" was still beyond his imagination.
"How many warriors would be willing to destroy a magic weapon of your level? It must be an inheritance. Are you trying to excuse yourself, or do you have any true feelings to hide?"
"I really don't dare to deceive the young master. What I said is the truth. I'm just afraid of death."
Seeing his performance, Chu Ming was also very surprised that a weapon spirit could have such a strong obsession with survival.
"Then what are you going to do now?"
Chu Ming seemed to accept his explanation and asked Tian Lao in a friendly manner.
"I really know that I am wrong. I will tell you how to control the Tiangong. After the operation, the young master will be the real master of the Tiangong. The life and death of this old slave also depend on your thoughts."
Hearing what he said, Chu Ming did not express his position, but just looked at Tian Lao quietly.
At this time, Tian Lao just woke up from a dream and hurriedly told Chu Ming the steps.
Without a moment's delay, Chu Ming took him to the garden at the back and shot an unknown magic spell at the corner. Suddenly a beam of light appeared and shot into the sky. It seemed that there was a higher space.
At this moment, Wanwan appeared next to Chu Ming. The two of them did not speak. They just sandwiched Tian Lao in the middle in a tacit understanding and stepped into the shadow of the light pillar.
In an instant, they came to an empty hall. It was empty except for a huge object similar to an astrolabe placed in the center of the hall.
All the buildings in the Heavenly Palace are marked on it, like a huge monitor.
"This is the real center of the Heavenly Palace. As long as the young master drips his essence and blood into the astrolabe, he will be the real master of the Heavenly Palace."
Tianlao looked like an appointor at this time.
In fact, he was secretly calling out luck in his heart, and just now he revealed the method of identifying the master of the Heavenly Palace without hesitation.
Judging from Chu Ming's ambush of Wanwan in advance, the other party did have murderous intentions. If Fan Tianlao showed any dissatisfaction to him, the young master was already planning to completely wipe him out.
Just as Tian Lao expected, Chu Ming was indeed murderous.
Since Tian Lao can move freely within the scope of the Heavenly Palace, it is not easy to "kill him", so Wanwan was arranged to ambush him. Her demonic aura could restrain Tian Lao so that he could not escape.
If Tian Lao still can't confess everything honestly, Chu Ming will not hesitate to erase him.
The Heavenly Palace is now the base camp for everyone. An uncontrollable weapon spirit will bring fundamental harm to everyone.
Chu Ming walked to the front of the astrolabe and poured in the blood essence without hesitation.
Almost at the same time, the Heavenly Palace suddenly shone brightly, but it soon disappeared.
At this time, Chu Ming also felt that there was some magical spiritual connection with Tiangong, and he could feel that Tianlao's life and death were all under his control.
Now one thought from him can make it disappear.
No wonder the other party doesn't want to hand over control of Tiangong.
At this time, Chu Ming's thoughts changed and they had returned to the Heavenly Emperor's Palace.
After being stunned, Wanwan looked at Chu Ming happily, "Young Master, can you completely control the Heavenly Palace?"
"Yes, from now on, I am the real master of the Heavenly Palace."
"As for you, should I call you Tianlao or Xiaoqi?"
After hearing Chu Ming's words, Tianlao was so frightened that he quickly knelt down on the ground.
"It's just a title, whatever the master likes to be called."
He couldn't afford to offend Chu Ming before, but now that the other party has completely controlled Tiangong, he can't offend him even more.
"The past has been wiped out and I won't pursue it any further. But if you dare to do anything against the Lord in the future, I will let you disappear into ashes."
"Thank you, Master! This old slave will never do anything against the master's wishes."
Chu Ming only asked Tian Lao to stand up at this time. He really didn't take his previous behavior to heart.
No one wants to hold life and death in the hands of others, and the weapon spirit is no exception.
Being able to deceive everyone is also Tianlao's own ability.
As long as he serves himself faithfully in the future, he will naturally not treat him harshly.
"What happened to Xiao Hong?"
Chu Ming is also quite worried about the state of the Chongming Bird. Although the promotion time of spiritual beasts is quite slow, and "Little Red" is a divine beast, this process may be longer, but this cycle is too long.
This made Chu Ming worried.
"The owner can rest assured that Chongming Bird is in very good condition, and its breakthrough is likely to be unusual."
"Unusual? What do you mean?"
Chu Ming didn't quite understand Tianlao's explanation.
"The Chongming Bird is the nemesis of the demon clan. The energy absorbed this time is of great benefit to it, which is why it has not been able to complete the promotion for so long."
"Where did Tiangong come from? And why did it fall on Shanhai Continent?"
"I really don't know, my memory about this seems to have been erased."
Chu Ming had no doubts about Tianlao's statement.
In fact, from the day he entered Tiangong, he knew that Tiangong was definitely not a native product of Shanhai Continent.
But the method of specifically erasing memories still surprised him.
Thanks to the efforts of Shang Xiuxun and Zhong Ling, the monsters in the Wolong Mountains have been integrated into an army and organized into different teams according to their respective characteristics.
Now there are many monsters that have reached the realm of Emperor Wu, waiting to enter the "Spirit Beast Pool" to improve their bloodlines, but they cannot "awaken" due to Xiao Hong.
In fact, Chu Ming once regarded the monsters in the Wolong Mountains as "surprise soldiers". They can definitely surprise the demons in the future battlefield.
"Master, don't worry too much. The Chongming Bird should be able to achieve a breakthrough in the near future."
After hearing this, Chu Ming was relieved.
"I have put new spiritual stones into the treasure house. You must ensure that all functions of the Heavenly Palace are fully operational and must not delay everyone's cultivation."
Nowadays, rapid improvement of strength is the top priority. No matter how much resources are wasted, Chu Ming will not hesitate.
"Yes, Master, don't worry, I understand the pros and cons."
Then Chu Ming gave some instructions, and Wanwan and Tianlao left.
"Xiao Tie, did you already know that there was something wrong with Tian Lao?"
"Hahaha······"
Facing Chu Ming's question, the system let out an awkward laugh.
"what do you mean?"
"Xiao Tie believes that the master can conquer this cunning weapon spirit independently."
Chu Ming finally understood why the system made an awkward laugh just now. It was obviously delaying time and finding a suitable reason to excuse himself.
"Do you think I would believe it?"
"I'm sorry, Master, Xiao Tie was also negligent. The key to the Heavenly Palace is an innate magic weapon, and its structure is different from mine, so the abnormality of the weapon spirit was not discovered."
After discovering that he could not "cheat" Chu Ming, "Xiao Tie" could only admit his mistake obediently.
"Xiaotie, I have unified the Shanhai Continent now, why hasn't the system been upgraded yet?"
"It means the owner has not completed the system task."
Sure enough, it was still the same recipe, with a familiar taste, and Xiao Tie's answer was as expected by Chu Ming.
"If we continue to use the will of the people as the evaluation criterion as before, then you should not expect to be upgraded."
Chu Ming was not polite at all and threatened Xiao Tie in turn.
Although upgrading was of great benefit to him, Chu Ming could be sure that through the changes in "Little Iron" each time the system was upgraded, this benefit should be mutual.
