Chapter 473 No, it can't be real! (Please subscribe)

After much deliberation, Mu Sheng decided to risk going in to find out what was going on.

After all, it’s here!
"So the question is, how do we get in?"

Mu Sheng raised an eyebrow and thought for a moment, then flipped his hand and took out a clump of corpse fluid: "Shall we lubricate it first?"

"But we still can't find the way."

Looking around, Mu Sheng saw scorching magma all around him, and countless little devils radiating malevolent flames.

It's too hot and dry here; this little bit of water probably won't do any good.

After thinking for a moment, Mu Sheng put away the corpse water in his hand, grabbed a small fire demon instead, and then withdrew the power of his ghostly body.

After the eerie atmosphere of the Golden Ghost Prison faded, the pure flesh and blood body, under the scorching heat of the molten lava, dehydrated and turned into a dried corpse.

Large patches of blackened skin appeared on his fair complexion.

Mu Sheng's body was carbonizing at a speed visible to the naked eye!

At this moment, the fire demon that Mu Sheng had summoned also launched an attack on him.

Red flames ignited on Mu Sheng's body, burning away his skin and bones and penetrating deeper into his body.

Such terrifying injuries caused the body of a ghost to instinctively want to heal, but Mu Sheng suppressed them firmly.

Ten minutes later.

Mu Sheng's internal organs and marrow were also burned, but the eerie flames continued to penetrate deeper, as if searching for something.

"You little glutton, do you really have to eat something else?"

With a thought, a tuft of ghost hair emerged from Mu Sheng's body.

As soon as the ghost hair appeared, the supernatural flames within Mu Sheng's body rushed towards it, instantly igniting the ghost hair and turning it into a ball of flame.

At the same time, Mu Sheng's carbonized corpse also changed.

A freshly hatched fire imp appeared in this sea of ​​lava.

"Assimilation complete. Now we just need to wait to be taken back."

Wearing his Fire Demon outfit, Mu Sheng swam around in the sea of ​​lava.

Sometimes it would swim over to touch and poke at other fire sprites, and sometimes it would leap and jump in the lava sea, stirring up waves of lava.

"Why is there still no movement? Could I be mistaken?"

A few hours later, Mu Sheng, riding on the neck of a fire imp, looked at the place where Zhu Rong had appeared and muttered to himself.

Just as Mu Sheng was pondering whether to try other methods...

Suddenly, I noticed that the flames on my body were drifting in one direction.

Mu Sheng quickly looked at the other fire imps and found that they were converging in one direction.

That was the very spot where the ghost Zhu Rong had been.

"coming!"

Mu Sheng immediately understood that this meant he was going to turn back into the Zhu Rong ghost, and that these little fire demons should return to where they belonged.

Mu Sheng pushed off with his feet and flew in the direction the flames were going.

Soon, more than a thousand fire imps merged into a giant tens of meters tall.

The next second, Zhu Rong ghost reappeared!
Mu Sheng felt his body fall and found himself in a cave.

The cave is not large, only about ten square meters, but it is very deep, like a narrow tunnel.

"Pat-pat~ Pat-pat~"

The cave walls felt damp to the touch, and water droplets were constantly dripping from the ceiling.

As water droplets fell on his head, Mu Sheng immediately noticed that the magical flames on his body were being suppressed.

Like a dying ember that has lost all its oxygen, it becomes listless and dispirited.

"Outside is a sea of ​​lava, the portal is a ghost of Zhu Rong, but inside is a cold and damp environment."

"After assimilating the vengeful ghost with fire magic, it was imprisoned in this kind of place, plus these water droplets that can suppress fire magic."

"As expected, this is a hellish prison!"

A strong sense of curiosity immediately arose in Mu Sheng's heart.

He lifted his foot and walked out of the cave, wanting to catch a glimpse of the amazing wisdom of those ghost-taming ancestors from thousands of years ago.

The closer you get to the cave entrance, the more water droplets drip from the cave ceiling, and the colder it becomes.

When Mu Sheng stood at the cave entrance, the flames on his body were no longer waning, but only a tiny ember that could be extinguished at any moment.

"What is this!?"

When Mu Sheng saw the environment outside the cave, he was immediately shocked.

At this moment, neither the supernatural flames nor the chilling water droplets mattered.

A deep, boundless skylight, tens of thousands of meters in diameter, came into Mu Sheng's view.

The courtyard has no roof, and looking up, one sees an endless stone wall.

The atrium had no bottom; looking down, one could only see a deep, dark void.

On the four sides of the well walls are small caves, which are not very densely distributed.

But at a glance, Mu Sheng saw hundreds of thousands, even millions of caves.

In the caves relatively close to Musheng, he could still see a faint glimmer of light.

It's obvious that a vengeful ghost is imprisoned inside!

Any further away, Musheng could no longer see them.

The distance was too great, and the firelight, suppressed by the cold water droplets, was too weak for even Mu Sheng to make a judgment.

Is there a Flame Imp being imprisoned inside?

"Judging from the caves around me, only one or two out of ten should be imprisoning vengeful spirits."

"It looks much better now. What a load of rubbish!"

Mu Sheng looked up at the entrance of the well, then looked down at the bottom of the abyss: "Even one or two out of ten is terrifying. There are millions of caves within my field of vision alone."

"Even if we only count one-tenth, that's still hundreds of thousands of ghosts!"

Hundreds of thousands!

Mu Sheng was shocked by this number.

Keep in mind that even when he was bestowing his favors upon the world of Attack on Titan, he only had a little over ten thousand concubines.

It took Musheng a hundred years to complete this.

If he could catch hundreds of thousands of ghosts one by one, Mu Sheng felt he wouldn't need to do anything else for the rest of his life.

"As expected of an ancient god, he is terrifyingly powerful!"

The arrogance that Mu Sheng had gained from suppressing thousands of fierce ghosts with one hand completely vanished at this moment.

In the face of hundreds of thousands of vengeful ghosts, his little achievements are nothing!

After swallowing hard, Mu Sheng turned his gaze to the center of the courtyard, where eighteen towering ice pillars pierced the heavens and earth.

Each of these icicles is over a thousand meters thick.

It reaches the heavens above and plunges into the abyss below!
Like eighteen magic needles stabilizing the sea, they firmly nailed this wondrous ghost prison to this eerie land.

The icicles emitted a thick, cold aura.

These chilling wisps of air swirled around the ice pillars and slowly descended, like dragons of icy mist falling into a bottomless abyss.

"This is hell on earth!"

Mu Sheng couldn't help but sigh, compared to this majestic and terrifying Heavenly Well Ghost Prison, his Golden Ghost Prison was utterly insignificant.

"What should we do? Leave or continue deeper into the area?"

After witnessing the terror of the Heavenly Well Ghost Prison, Mu Sheng immediately felt the urge to leave.

This place looks very dangerous. If we were really trapped in this godforsaken place, even Mu Sheng would have a big headache.

"But we're already here."

Mu Sheng was somewhat unwilling, having finally found a Ghost Prison that shared his ideals.

He was even planning to observe it closely, using it as a reference for the forging of the fifth level of the Golden Ghost Prison!

"I won't go too deep. I'll just wander around here. As long as I'm careful not to trigger any vengeful spirits' rules, there shouldn't be any problems, right?"

After much deliberation, Mu Sheng still felt it would be a pity to leave like this.

"Anyway, I won't die, so I'll just stay here and stay here!" If he's really that unlucky, then he'll just refine the Golden Ghost Prison here. Anyway, there are so many vengeful ghosts here that it's enough for Mu Sheng's strength to grow to the point where he can escape.

"That's it!"

Mu Sheng clenched his fist, and with a flash of golden light beneath his feet, he leaped out of the cave.

Once outside the cave's protection, Mu Sheng immediately felt a bone-chilling cold.

This coldness not only affected his body, but also his consciousness and soul.

After enveloping his body in the golden ghost domain, Mu Sheng could no longer feel the cold.

"No wonder it could suppress so many fire imps. Could these ice pillars come from a fully revived S-class vengeful ghost?"

"No, even S-rank is not enough to describe the terror of this ghost; it would have to be SSS-rank to be close!"

The bitter cold calmed Mu Sheng's mind considerably, and also made him more cautious.

Then, riding on the golden light, he carefully moved along the stone wall in the courtyard.

Musheng first inspected the surrounding caves.

As he expected, these caves were either empty or imprisoned by a fire imp.

"What an ingenious idea! The flames are supernatural, assimilating the evil spirits; the ice pillars are supernatural, shaping the environment; and then the principle of mutual restraint between the two is used to suppress the ghosts!"

"They've taken the supernatural aspects of ghosts to the extreme!"

The more Mu Sheng learned about this ghostly realm in the courtyard, the more he admired the wisdom and courage of the ancients.

Putting aside everything else, just take the Frost Demon that created this ghostly prison.

If this were to get out of control by accident, there might not have been any subsequent human dynasties.

"Huh? How did an oddball get in here?" Mu Sheng stopped in front of a cave.

There was no light coming from the cave, and Mu Sheng thought it was empty, but it turned out he had only caught a glimpse of it as he passed by.

The situation was discovered!

In the dark and damp cave, a hunched figure stood not far from the entrance.

This is an old man dressed in tattered clothes, holding a porcelain bowl in his hands, looking like a beggar begging on the roadside.

Because there was no resistance from the flames, frost formed on the old beggar's body.

It seemed to have been frozen by the cold water droplets dripping from the cave ceiling.

"What's going on? How did this thing get in here?"

"Is there any other way to get in?"

Mu Sheng curiously observed the old beggar inside the cave, hoping to find some clues.
"But that doesn't make sense. All the other caves are full of fire goblins, why aren't you one?"

The more Mu Sheng thought about it, the more suspicious he became, so he stepped into the old beggar's cave.

"Let me see what you're up to!"

Mu Sheng had a strange feeling that he might have found the root of the paranormal events in Da'an City.

Teng!
A flame appeared out of nowhere, dispelling the frost from the old beggar's body.

With the oppression of the severe cold gone, the old beggar gradually recovered.

A strange smile appeared on his deeply lined old face.

"Have pity on me!"

"Kind person, please give me some food!"

The old beggar's first action after recovering was to bow to Mu Sheng while holding a porcelain bowl and begging for alms.

As he completed his begging act, a supernatural force acted upon Mu Sheng.

Mu Sheng was very familiar with this force.

It's not about being familiar with the old beggar's supernatural abilities, but about being familiar with the properties of this supernatural power.

"It's actually a spatial paranormal phenomenon!?"

Mu Sheng's eyes lit up. Apart from the Ghost Domain, this was the first time he had encountered a ghost that could directly manipulate spatial power!

Well, the main problem is that he hasn't encountered enough ghosts.

The only time they imprisoned a large number of vengeful ghosts was when they were all assimilated fire spirits.

It's estimated that we'll only know the true nature of these ghosts' supernatural powers after the Golden Ghost Prison has finished digesting them.

Driven by curiosity about the old beggar ghost's supernatural abilities, Mu Sheng offered no resistance, allowing the supernatural power to wreak havoc within his body.

Soon, Mu Sheng felt his body go empty, as if something had been taken out.

The golden light illuminates my body, revealing my heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys!

"Nothing is missing?"

Mu Sheng looked at the old beggar ghost with suspicion, and saw that there was an extra tongue in the other's bowl.

"Tongue?"

"Bru bru bru~"

Mu Sheng stuck out his tongue; it was still there.

"This feeling."

"Holy crap! They stole the ghosts I had imprisoned in Ghost Prison?"

Mu Sheng immediately realized that the tongue in the porcelain bowl was clearly one of the ghosts he had imprisoned in the Ghost Prison.

"So this old guy is a thief?"

Mu Sheng guessed, then recalled the excitement of begging earlier.

"No, it's not a thief ghost, it's more accurately a beggar ghost."

"They do not beg for money or food, but for bodies, lives, or ghosts and spirits."

"That does fit the nature of a vengeful ghost!"

After confirming the old beggar ghost's supernatural abilities, Mu Sheng immediately reached out and recalled his ghost tongue.

Then several golden spears appeared out of thin air!

A flash of golden light appeared inside the cave, and the old beggar ghost was pinned to the ground.

Blood-red soil gushed from the ground, burying the old beggar ghost's body, and then a stream of yellowish, turbid corpse fluid flowed into the soil.

Soon, only a porcelain bowl with a cracked edge remained in the grave.

[Beggar Ghost: 1%]

Is the bowl the real object?

After Mu Sheng summoned the porcelain bowl and initially suppressed the beggar ghost, he was able to control its supernatural abilities.

A wisp of consciousness landed on the bowl, and the supernatural space inside the bowl appeared in Mu Sheng's perception.

In the small, supernatural space, there were many rotten, foul-smelling pieces of flesh and three suppressed vengeful spirits.

"After begging, forcibly take something from the target. The more items you beg for, the stronger the supernatural power becomes."

"Another ghost with great growth potential!"

"It's a pity that before he could even develop, he was imprisoned in this Heavenly Courtyard Ghost Prison!"

Mu Sheng became increasingly curious about how this beggar ghost got in here and why it was different from the other imprisoned ghosts.

He summoned the old beggar's form, then took out a piece of human skin newspaper and covered the old beggar's face with it.

By extracting memories and deducing, Mu Sheng quickly found some useful information.

"Underground tombs, statues, and the resurgence of social media activity at Dajing Airport."

"Eh?"

Mu Sheng's body suddenly stiffened, as if he had seen something ominous.

"That can't be, right?"

Mu Sheng continued to extract and deduce, feeling somewhat guilty.

A series of words and images floated into his mind.

"It's great!"

"It's actually related to me? That can't be real!"

Mu Sheng was unwilling to believe it; the cause and effect were simply too heavy a burden.
