The world begins with refining skills

Chapter 474 Headquarters Meeting! (Seeking monthly votes)

More than half a month ago, Mu Sheng fought Fang Shiming at Ping An Building.

The latter used the spiritual power of the demon flesh to transfer the curse of the demon scissors.

And this beggar ghost originated from that unlucky guy whose curse had been transferred.

After the unlucky guy died, the beggar ghost unknowingly wandered to Da'an City and triggered a killing pattern in an underground tomb, facing a statue of a god.

This statue is a medium in the real world for the Heavenly Court Ghost Prison.

Through the medium of the idol, a beggar ghost was pulled out of the ghost prison in the Heavenly Well of Success.

This ghost is the real culprit that caused the fall of Da'an City—the Terracotta Warrior Ghost!
However, before the beggar ghost could absorb the stolen fruit, it was directly taken into the Heavenly Well Ghost Prison and replaced the Terracotta Warrior ghost.

"Damn it! You really are a troublemaker!"

After learning the whole story, Mu Sheng slapped the beggar to the ground.

Then he summoned a heavy golden hammer, and with a few blows, smashed the beggar ghost's porcelain bowl and the old man's body into a pile of dust.

The fact that he had been burdened with the deaths of over ten million people for no reason greatly angered Mu Sheng.

Boom! ! !
Ten minutes later, Mu Sheng slammed the golden hammer into the ground, still somewhat unsatisfied.

"Sigh! It's come to this, so there's nothing we can do about it."

"In the end, this is not my fault. If anyone is to blame, it is Fang Shiming, the circle of friends, and the world."

"This world doesn't allow ordinary people to live!"

Thinking about it this way, Mu Sheng immediately felt much better.

Over the years, he has come to a conclusion about life: don't be too hard on yourself.

The world is a sea of ​​suffering!
If a person blames everything on themselves, even if they don't become depressed and jump off a building, they will still develop a lot of illnesses due to internal conflicts.

So if you want to live a long life, you either need to see through the world and remain untainted by its dust, or you need to learn to be a little selfish.

Being a person is hard, but being a good person is even harder!

"So be it. This world is so hopeless. Being able to be reincarnated sooner might not be such a bad thing!"

A relieved smile appeared on Mu Sheng's face.

If this were a world of cultivation, Mu Sheng's sea of ​​consciousness would be shining brightly at this moment, and he would have achieved enlightenment and ascended to immortality.

Citizens of Da'an City: ?

Having overcome his inner demons, Mu Sheng put away the golden hammer, looked at the fragments of the beggar ghost's corpse on the ground, and said coldly:
"You wicked creature! Your crimes are heinous, and you shall be condemned to eternal damnation!"

With a sudden wave of his hand, Mu Shengmeng caused the beggar ghost to vanish in a burst of golden light.

In the fourth level of the Golden Ghost Prison, amidst a sea of ​​flesh and blood, a pile of porcelain bowl shards suddenly fell from the sky.

It sank to the bottom of a bottomless sea of ​​blood!
Mu Sheng decided that from now on, any harm he suffers will be transferred directly to the beggar ghost, and he will release it only when he has accumulated ten million instances.

After dealing with the beggar ghost, Mu Sheng left the cave and returned to the Ghost Prison Well.

After inspecting the well walls, the Prophet Muhammad turned his attention to the eighteen icicles in the center of the courtyard.

"The Flame Imp is imprisoned in the cave in the well wall!"

"And what about inside these icicles?"

With a quick thought, Mu Sheng flew toward the nearest ice pillar.

The closer you get to the icicle, the colder it gets!

Even with the golden ghost domain protecting him, Mu Sheng already felt his body was about to freeze.

When he passed through the Frost Dragon and arrived in front of the Ice Pillar, a layer of white frost had appeared on his body under the Golden Ghost Domain.

"Even after the golden light of the four layers of ghostly domain has been weakened, it still possesses such supernatural power!"

"I'm getting more and more curious. Who, or what force, built this Heavenly Courtyard Ghost Prison?"

Mu Sheng shivered, using his powerful demonic body to dispel the cold within him.

Then I turned my attention to the icicles.

As he got closer, Mu Sheng felt the terror of this Heavenly Courtyard Ghost Prison even more deeply.

From a distance, they look like icicles, but up close they are just vertical blocks of frozen ground.

Beneath these icy landscapes, shadows of various shapes are reflected.

"Huh, are there ghosts imprisoned in here too?"

Mu Sheng was somewhat curious, so he focused his golden ghost domain into a single beam and peered into the interior of the ice pillar.

The moment the Golden Ghost Domain touched the ice pillar, Mu Sheng felt a resistance.

The further you go in, the greater the resistance becomes!

Fortunately, Mu Sheng was strong enough and had enough firepower, so he managed to withstand the resistance and explore to the bottom.

The situation inside the ice pillar was then clearly displayed in Mu Sheng's perception.

"Sure enough, there are vengeful ghosts imprisoned here too!"

Just as Mu Sheng guessed, the various shapes of the shadows on the ice pillars were actually frozen ghosts.

Combining this with the fire demon imprisoned in the cave on the well wall, Mu Sheng roughly understood the operating principle of this ghost realm in the well.

"The ice ghost and the fire ghost restrain each other. The fire ghost will become more powerful after assimilating the evil spirit, and the ice ghost will become more powerful after freezing the evil spirit."

"This forms a spiral-like, upward-moving system!"

"As long as the system doesn't crash at the very beginning, the Heavenly Prison will become more and more stable as time goes on!"

It's like a seesaw. When there are ten weights on each side, if one weight is added to one side, the balance of the seesaw will tilt.

When two or three extra weights are added to one side, the balance of the seesaw may be broken.

However, if there are one hundred weights on each side of the seesaw, a difference of three or five weights will not affect the balance of the seesaw at all.

The seesaw is only at risk of becoming unbalanced when the difference is greater than 20.

What if there were a thousand, ten thousand, or even a hundred thousand or a million weights on both sides of the seesaw?
The cost of breaking the balance would be even greater!

"The more vengeful ghosts are imprisoned, the more stable the Ghost Prison becomes. What a brilliant idea!"

"The wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated!"

While marveling at his work, Mu Sheng pondered whether he could learn from and improve upon his Golden Ghost Prison technique.

"Well, it seems unnecessary. The ghosts that come into my hands are directly refined, so there's no need to play any balancing act."

"Looks like I still have to use cheat codes. No matter how strong my talent and intelligence are, they can't compare to a cheat code!"

As a cheat, Musheng was at the top of the pyramid from the very beginning.

With the concept of ice and fire no longer of any value, Mu Sheng began to set his sights on the vengeful ghosts in the Heavenly Well Ghost Prison.

"The fire demons in the well wall cave, plus the demons frozen in the ice pillars, there are almost a million of them."

"Isn't it a bit of a waste to just leave it here?"

Mu Sheng secretly calculated that if he were to refine so many ghosts, he wouldn't have to worry about resources for the next few levels of the Golden Ghost Prison.

The fourth level of the Golden Ghost Prison possesses the ability to restart itself, something Yang Jian could only do when he was at the seventh level of the Ghost Eye Ghost Domain.

If we extrapolate from this method...

The fifth layer of the Golden Ghost Domain corresponds to the eighth layer of the Ghost Eye Ghost Domain!

The sixth layer of the Golden Ghost Domain corresponds to the ninth layer of the Ghost Eye Ghost Domain!

The seventh level of the Golden Ghost Domain corresponds to the tenth level of the Ghost Eye Ghost Domain!
"Huh? Is becoming invincible at the seventh level?"

Mu Sheng suddenly realized that he seemed to be close to completing the game again.

"No, no, according to the refining rules on the panel, the forging of the later layers of the Golden Ghost Prison probably cannot be completed in a short time."

"It will take at least one or two years, right?"

"Two or three years is not too long."

Mu Sheng put aside his distracting thoughts and focused his gaze back on the vengeful ghost imprisoned in the Heavenly Court Ghost Prison.

After much deliberation, Mu Sheng decided to give up.

The Golden Ghost Prison has limited capacity to process ghosts, and there's no shortage of ghosts outside, so there's no need to take advantage of it.

Let's not accidentally cause any accident and let those nearly a million ghosts escape. If that really happens...
"Ugh! I can't even imagine it!"

Mu Sheng shook his head repeatedly, trying to banish the images from his mind.

If these million vengeful ghosts were to escape, not only would ordinary people perish, but even the ghost tamers would die.

Paranormal forums, foreign organizations, or even Interpol—even prominent figures from the Republic of China era like Qin Lao would probably have to give up.

Human society as a whole would collapse completely, and Mu Sheng would truly become a sinner.

"Forget it, you still have to rely on yourself!"

Mu Sheng completely abandoned this idea and at the same time began to consider leaving.

"So, how do I get out of here?"

Within the Heavenly Prison, which is ten thousand meters in diameter, Mu Sheng floats in mid-air, neither touching the sky nor the ground.

Looking out over the surrounding ice pillars and the ghostly fire walls.

I don't know where to start!

The thought of finding the passage into the Heavenly Well Ghost Prison from such a large area made Mu Sheng's head throb.

Fortunately, the super intelligence quickly told Musheng to use super power!

"Great effort can create miracles, let's just force a breakthrough!"

In the abyss-like courtyard, a rich golden light suddenly burst forth.

The magnificent and dazzling light instantly illuminated the entire courtyard.

The eighteen ice pillars began to tremble, and wisps of cold mist surged and roared as they rushed toward Mu Sheng in the well.

It seemed as if he was to be suppressed in eternal ice!
at this time.

The golden light suddenly collapsed inward, quickly shrinking into a small dot and disappearing into the courtyard.

The supernatural world.

In the deathly dark sky, a golden figure suddenly appeared.

Then a flash of light appeared, and the golden figure disappeared again.

When Mu Sheng reappeared, he had already arrived in Da'an City, which had been reduced to ruins.

This once bustling first-tier city has now become a desolate wasteland.

"This is the chaotic world of the supernatural, where people are as worthless as weeds!"

Mu Sheng didn't linger; he transformed into a golden rainbow and burst through the sandstorm ghost domain before leaving.

A dazzling golden light streaked across the sky.

This immediately attracted the attention of the military outside Da'an City.

"The golden light has turned into a rainbow; it means that the Ghost King Mu Sheng has emerged."

"Report to headquarters immediately!"

Upon seeing the iconic golden light in the sky, the colonel in charge of guard duty immediately issued orders.

Shortly after, orders to increase vigilance came from headquarters.

After hanging up the phone, the major left the temporary command post.

Are there any living people left in Da'an City?

The major stared blankly at the sandstorm ghost realm not far away, a sense of despair and helplessness welling up in his heart.

When guns and missiles become ineffective, is there really any hope for humanity?
Dachang City, Club Manor.

Not long after Mu Sheng returned, Qin Meirou, dressed as a secretary with half-rimmed glasses perched on her nose, came swaying over.

"Mr. Mu, you're back!"

Qin Meirou's steps were somewhat hurried and light, her cheeks flushed, and a layer of fine sweat appeared on her forehead.

It was obvious that they had jogged all the way here.

"what?"

Mu Sheng opened his eyes, glanced at her, and said calmly.

Without waiting for Qin Meirou's reply, he closed his eyes again and sank into the sofa chair, pretending to doze off.

Although the trip to Da'an City did not encounter any danger, the discovery of the Heavenly Well Ghost Prison still made Mu Sheng ponder.

He was lying in a soft sofa chair, sorting out the conjectures that kept popping into his mind.

Seeing that Mu Sheng didn't seem to want to talk to her, Qin Meirou thought of Zhao Jianguo's repeated instructions on the phone earlier.

Her eyes darted around, she adjusted her glasses, and said in a seductive voice, "Mr. Mu, you're so naughty~"

As he spoke, he squatted down in front of Musheng's chair.

"Eh!?"

Mu Sheng suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed Qin Meirou's hand: "Why are you pulling my rubber band? Are you trying to smash my window?"

"Why are you smashing the glass?" Qin Meirou was taken aback at first, then realized what she meant and said in a coquettish voice, "You're so annoying! I'm not mentally ill!"

"If you're not mentally ill, why are you pulling my rubber band?" Mu Sheng asked skeptically.

Qin Meirou immediately looked aggrieved and said, "Didn't you ask me if I wanted to do something?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Sheng looked down at his shorts, which had been pulled down to his crotch, and suddenly realized, "So he has a fever!"

"Go back to your room if you have a fever, and don't bother me!"

Mu Sheng shoved Qin Meirou's hand away, waved for her to leave, and closed his eyes again.

Qin Meirou's face remained alluring, but inwardly she was cursing:

'That despicable scumbag! He turns his back on me as soon as he's done his bidding. You caused me a lot of trouble before, didn't you?'

"Now that you're tired of him, you just kick him to the curb, you scumbag!"

'I hope your pee splits into two streams, you know!'

After venting her dissatisfaction, Qin Meirou switched to a charming voice once again:

"Mr. Mu, you're joking with her again. She just noticed you looked tired and wanted to give you a massage."

Mu Sheng continued to close his eyes and pretend to sleep, showing no intention of speaking.

Seeing this, Qin Meirou cautiously reached out her hand, and only continued her actions after Mu Sheng did not stop her.

"Tell me, what's going on with Zhao Jianguo this time?"

Seeing Qin Meirou working so hard, Mu Sheng took the initiative to ask her a question.

"hu~hu~"

"Huh?" Qin Meirou was stunned for a moment before she reacted and quickly said:

"Minister Zhao would like to know the specific situation in Da'an City, and also ask me to inquire if you have any solutions."

Qin Meirou relayed the task Zhao Jianguo had given her to Mu Sheng.

"Da'an City?"

Mu Sheng stood up, and the sudden movement almost made Qin Meirou fall. She quickly grabbed Mu Sheng's shoulder.

"Tell Zhao Jianguo that there is a terrifying entity in Da'an City that is beyond SSS level. If we don't want the Earth to be destroyed, we'd better completely seal it off!"

"Oh! Is it that scary?"

Qin Meirou forgot about the massage and hurriedly asked, "What kind of terror is it that even you, President Mu, couldn't solve?"

Mu Sheng didn't hide anything, and while walking around the room, he explained the situation in Da'an City in detail.

The problem in Da'an City is too serious; she must report it to headquarters immediately.

"Run away now?"

Mu Sheng remained silent and lay down on the sofa again.

A few days later, Zhao Jianguo called and invited Mu Sheng to attend an important meeting in Dajing City.
