However, Tianlao is not very satisfied with the current recruitment of personnel in Tiangong.
"No need to worry, all positions will be filled over time."
"All positions?"
Tianlao found it a bit unbelievable, because after all, none of the characters above the Eight Towns had appeared at all.
But every time Young Master's promise is fulfilled, I believe this time will be no exception.
At that time, he will be able to see the amazing geniuses gathered in the Heavenly Palace.
"Sir, the resources in the Western Region have basically been collected. Our next step is to go to the Central Region or the Northern Region."
Xu Zhu also reported on the basic situation of the resources in the western continent.
"You stay in the Heavenly Palace for the past six months to adjust. You can enhance your soul power, practice soul skills, and improve your own strength."
"As for the collection of resources, focus on the central region."
Chu Ming once asked Tian Lao in private, and even he had no way of determining when the demons would come to Shanhai Continent.
Compared with the Northern Territory, the resources of the Central Territory are richer, so we must be the first to explore the resources of the Central Territory.
Since Chu Mingyi was in seclusion in recent years, the resources Xu Zhu collected from the Western Regions had already filled the Tiangong's treasure house.
Now the "Suzaku Ring" is in Xu Zhu's hands again, saving him the pain of traveling back and forth.
The current focus is to improve everyone's soul power, thereby promoting the further growth of Tiangong's strength.
"I believe that everyone has heard about the Shenfeng Slate. This time I will place it here. As the first batch of beneficiaries, you have three months to practice, so you must make good use of it."
Everyone has heard about the wonders of the Divine Phoenix Slate for a long time, and now they can finally get a glimpse of its true appearance, and everyone is very excited.
"This "Flying Phoenix Blade" soul skill can be practiced after visualizing the Divine Phoenix Slate to enhance the soul power."
Then he placed the Shenfeng Stone Tablet at the head of the palace for everyone to practice.
"Xiaotie, I have unified the Shanhai Continent, can the system still be upgraded?"
"Master, you will naturally know after a while."
The system was acting up as always, which gave Chu Ming a headache.
"Xiao Tie, aren't you an omnipotent system? Why don't you even have some soul power techniques?"
Chu Ming had asked Xiao Tie before, but was told that the system did not have any techniques to enhance soul power.
Chu Ming did not raise any objection to this, but endured the unbearable torture and used the most primitive method to stimulate the improvement of soul power.
Now that he has the Shenfeng Slate, Chu Ming complains frequently. Xiao Tie, who has already experienced this, feels that something is wrong.
"Master, there is no need to beat around the bush, please take the lead in making your request."
"Tell me the origin of the Divine Phoenix Slate."
Although he was upset, Chu Ming didn't feel a trace of embarrassment.
"Sorry Master, I don't know either."
As if he was afraid of causing Chu Ming's dissatisfaction, Xiaotie then said, "Actually, you can try asking the weapon spirit."
It's not that Chu Ming has forgotten Tian Lao, it's just that he has become accustomed to looking for the system first when encountering similar things.
After all, in his heart, Xiaotie's status is far superior to that of Tianlao.
Now that Xiao Tie had reminded him, Chu Ming felt that it was really possible that the Lord would know the origin of the Shenfeng Slate.
"God, do you know the origin of this stone slab?"
"Master, I was just about to report this to you. The Divine Phoenix Slate reminded me of an ancient legend."
Chu Ming didn't expect that he actually knew the origin of the stone slab, and hurriedly said, "Tell me in detail."
"I wasn't sure at first, because this legend is too old. When you took out the stone tablet and the old slave personally determined its age, I finally confirmed that it really might be a legendary thing."
This is the second time that Tianlao emphasizes the word "ancient". Although Chu Ming cannot be sure how many years he has existed, he must be an out-and-out "old goblin".
Chu Ming really couldn't imagine how far back the "ancient" story he mentioned could be.
How could Tian Lao know Chu Ming's psychological activities? He pondered for a moment and continued to tell the story about the stone slab.
"It is said that at the beginning of our universe, the power of chaos gave birth to the Nine Directions Treasure. If you can understand its meaning, you can learn the ultimate secret of the universe."
Hearing what Tianlao said, Chu Ming understood why he emphasized the word "ancient" in his song.
It has been traced back to the birth of the universe, and the age is indeed long enough.
"Then how are you sure that this stone slab is one of the nine treasures?"
“First of all, it’s the age of the stone slab, and also because I always feel like worshiping it when I see it.”
Seeing that Chu Ming didn't seem to understand the connection, Tianlao hurriedly explained, "Lao Nu himself is the weapon spirit of the innate spiritual treasure. It can make me feel awe, and his level must be higher than mine."
When Tianlao said this, Chu Ming somewhat understood that this was a bit similar to bloodline suppression among monsters and beasts.
"The most critical point is that it can enhance soul power and transform the soul body. This is also the biggest feature of the legendary Nine Directions Treasure."
"Is it so valuable to be able to improve your soul power?"
Chu Ming did not expect that a piece of slate would be pulled on the treasure that was born when chaos first emerged.
"The techniques for cultivating soul power in the big world are also extremely precious. For example, you can mention the method of improvement by visualizing pictures. It seems that only nine pieces of treasure can do it."
Chu Ming never thought that the "slate" he accidentally obtained would be so precious!
"Master, it is said that these nine treasures can also improve the world level?"
"Improve the level of the world? How to improve it?"
"It is to upgrade a small world like Shanhai Continent into a big world. As for how to improve it, the master must understand the Shenfeng Slate."
Hearing what Tianlao said, Chu Ming couldn't help but feel ashamed. During his time in seclusion, he could still only visualize the tail wings of the divine phoenix without making any progress.
And Chu Ming himself could clearly feel that it would be impossible to fully understand the mystery of the tail fin and take it a step further in less than a few decades.
"Slates can improve the level of the world, are you sure?"
"This legend already exists, and its magic has been proven before. I think it should be true."
Hearing what he said, Chu Ming couldn't help but think deeply.
If all this is as Tianlao said, then the reason why the demons attacked Shanhai Continent is worth studying.
What kind of cosmic scavenger is most likely a high-sounding excuse.
Moreover, the violence of the demons is also very abnormal. No matter how cruel the race is, they will not kill all the creatures in the world.
You must know that the demons are not only targeting the human race, but all creatures in the mountain and sea continent.
This is more like an act of murder and silence.
Chu Ming felt more and more that the demons were probably coming for the Divine Phoenix Slate.
He suppressed the doubts in his heart and continued to ask, "Have these nine pieces of treasure ever appeared in so many years?"
"It seems to have only appeared once, in a small world."
In the long history, it has only appeared once, which is enough to prove the preciousness of this treasure.
A common man is not guilty of carrying a jade. Although the Divine Phoenix Slate is a rare treasure, it is also a hot potato.
Chu Ming felt that things were starting to get complicated.
He eliminated all the complicated emotions in his mind. At this point, only soldiers came to cover up the water and the earth.
He has a system and is not afraid of anyone!
If "Xiao Tie" knew that Chu Ming trusted him so much, he wouldn't know whether to be happy or worried.
Since all the important figures in the Heavenly Palace were contemplating the Divine Phoenix Stone Tablet in the Heavenly Emperor's Palace, Wanwan and others were responsible for the daily affairs.
Although it only lasted for half a year, it still tortured the girls to exhaustion.
It is not an easy task to maintain the operation of such a huge organization. Fortunately, they are all warriors, otherwise it would be really difficult to persevere.
Fortunately, the result is good. After three months of visualizing the Divine Phoenix Slate, the souls of everyone in the Heavenly Palace have been transformed to varying degrees, and their soul power has been greatly improved.
The subsequent precipitation process was a feedback to the realm of martial arts, and they began to make breakthroughs one after another.
Most of the Heavenly Lords have become Martial God Dzogchen warriors, and all the Earthly Lords have broken through to the Martial God realm. Although it only took three short months, the strength of the top management of the Heavenly Palace has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Thanks to the substantial increase in soul power, practicing "Flying Phoenix Blade" has become easier, and everyone has mastered the basic method.
The rest of the time is the process of fine polishing.
Since the Nanshan Fortress and the Beishan Fortress were about to be completed, Wen Qiong and Zhengcai led the team back, preparing to be the first to move in when the forts were completed.
At the same time, True Lord Zhongyi also led his people back to Qishan Fortress to continue their daily training tasks.
After thinking about it, Chu Ming decided to send Wen Shuyue to the Central Region.
"The selection of the Alchemy Academy this time is very important. I will send you to the Central Region to take charge. Don't be careless. You must ensure the smooth progress of the conference."
"I understand."
Wen Shuyue was naturally grateful to Chu Ming for entrusting him with the important task.
"In order to avoid being lonely on this trip, I will let Huahua accompany you."
After hearing Chu Ming's arrangement, both of them were very excited. Normally, the two women would be the closest to each other, so it was great to be able to go to the Central Region to host the conference together.
"The conference will take three months. Including the preliminary preparations and post-processing matters, it will take about half a year. After the mission is over, you can go to Shengxian Valley on your own."
"Yes, sir."
The two of them happily accepted the order.
The reason for making such an arrangement is, on the one hand, the main purpose of the Alchemist Competition held by Tiangong is to recruit talents for the Alchemy Academy.
Now, most of the main personnel of the Alchemy Academy come from Guanghan Palace, including the seven judges this time, who are all elders of the original Guanghan Palace.
Therefore, Wen Shuyue went to take charge of the overall situation, which was justified.
There is another meaning, that is, Chu Ming does not want the two women to know the existence of the system.
It's not that he doesn't trust them, but that Chu Ming originally planned not to leak this secret to anyone.
Since the Nanshan Fortress and Beishan Fortress are about to be completed, as the system tasks are completed and the system is upgraded, rewards will naturally be distributed.
