The world begins with refining skills

Chapter 498 Ghost Ship! (Seeking monthly votes)

Rumble~
Deep within the supernatural land, a powerful earthquake suddenly struck.

Cracks appeared in the eerie sky, stretching for an extremely long time and almost tearing the entire sky apart.

Click!Click!
A crack appeared in the earth, as if an invisible giant had ripped the earth apart like paper.

Brilliant golden light burst forth from the crack in the sky, like the gaze of a celestial being cast upon the fiery prison.

The entire haunted place began to tremble.

Rumble~
Another earth-shattering roar followed, and a four-story pagoda slowly descended from the sky.

The pagoda is entirely golden, and its interior presents different scenes.

There are temples dedicated to gods, ghostly graves stretching for miles, forests of white bones and corpses, and a sea of ​​blood.

This pagoda is none other than Mu Sheng's Golden Ghost Prison!

As the pagoda's shadow appeared, golden pillars rose from the abyss beneath the crack in the earth.

Upon closer inspection, one can clearly see terrifying ghosts of various shapes and sizes among these pillars.

The golden ghost pillar emanated waves of energy, forged from gold and vengeful spirits!

As time went by, more and more golden ghost pillars rose from the earth.

Ten! A hundred! A thousand! Ten thousand!
When the four-story golden pagoda in the sky stopped descending, seventy-seven thousand golden ghost pillars had already stood on the supernatural land.

"With the bodies of countless evil spirits, I have created the Ghost Prison!"

A powerful consciousness emerged in this supernatural world.

The golden pagoda hanging from the sky and the 77,000 golden ghost pillars rising from the earth were perfectly connected.

At the moment when heaven and earth met, endless golden light suddenly shone, filling the entire supernatural land.

A moment later, the golden light slowly faded!

A five-story golden pagoda suddenly appeared on the earth, piercing through the space and time between heaven and earth.

The fifth level of the Golden Ghost Prison is complete!

In the real world, on the top floor of the Yama's Mansion.

Mu Sheng, who was sitting cross-legged in front of the French windows, suddenly opened his eyes.

Two beams of golden light shot out from his eyes, soaring straight up to the heavens and piercing through the clouds thousands of meters above the sky.

It shot into the vast universe and disappeared into the endless darkness.

Such a commotion immediately attracted the attention of the citizens in Kangjin Base.

On the road between the concrete buildings, a patrol team with armbands wrapped around their arms was drawn to the two beams of golden light shooting straight into the sky.

"What is that? Is it a paranormal attack?"

"That direction... is the Yama Mansion! The golden light must be the divine power of Lord Yama!"

"Such a commotion, could it be that Lord Prefect's strength has broken through again?"

Wu Chao looked up at the sky, a look of surprise appearing on his face.

"Excellent! Lord Lord's strength has increased again, which greatly increases humanity's hope of reclaiming lost territory!"

A surge of fervent admiration welled up in Wu Chao's heart, and the golden mark on his chest shone even brighter.

Amidst the flashing golden light, Wu Chao felt his body lighten, and the vengeful ghost within him became more docile.

Realizing this, Wu Chao's expression became even more devout, and he clenched his right fist against his heart, praying, "Praise be to the Lord Prefect!"

"I've gotten stronger again!"

Mu Sheng touched the top of his head: "Luckily, I haven't gone bald!"

Without straining his muscles, Mu Sheng's body rose straight up, as if a force was lifting his head up.

"boom!"

Mu Shengzhang clenched his fist, and a loud bang suddenly rang out in the air.

It was like the air had been squeezed and burst.

"A hundred tons of force is better than nothing!"

Mu Sheng wasn't too concerned about this amount of physical strength.

Compared to the supernatural power of the rule system, this force of a hundred tons in one hand seems rather insignificant.

Having refined tens of thousands of supernatural powers, Mu Sheng could obtain even stronger physical strength whenever he wanted.

Suddenly, Mu Sheng's heartbeat quickened, and the golden blood in his body surged to his entire body, causing his muscles to swell rapidly with blood.

"Onimudo: Giant Spirit God!"

A supernatural power erupted, and Mu Sheng's figure gradually grew taller.

Soon, a five-meter-tall golden giant appeared in the room.

"It can go even higher!"

With a thought, Mu Sheng unleashed even more supernatural power, causing his head, which was already pressing against the ceiling, to continue growing upwards.

Golden ripples spread across the ceiling.

Mu Sheng's upper body quickly passed through the ceiling above his head and appeared on the rooftop.

Let's leave it at that for now!

Mu Sheng didn't continue trying. He had flown Gundams so many times that he wasn't as interested as he had been at the beginning.

Without releasing the Giant Spirit God, Mu Sheng remained stuck on the rooftop of the building, a wisp of his consciousness sinking into the Golden Ghost Prison.

His consciousness swept over the increasingly majestic and towering sacred mountain in the first layer of the Ghost Prison, and in an instant, it pierced through the three layers of Ghost Prison: Ghost Tomb, Bone Forest, and Blood Sea.

They arrived at the fifth level, the Golden Ghost Prison.

Unlike the first-level sacred mountain temple, there are three other levels of the terrifying Golden Ghost Prison.

The fifth level of the Ghost Prison is even more fitting for the word "gold," with pillars shining with dazzling golden light throughout the entire space.

Standing in this hellish prison, all around are endless golden pillars.

It's easy to lose your way.

Of course, these golden pillars are not meant to make people dizzy and disoriented.

Seventy-seven thousand golden pillars, forged from vengeful ghosts and gold, possess a powerful and terrifying ability to suppress ghosts.

Any ghost that is not S-rank or higher will be instantly refined the moment it falls into this golden forest.

Even S-class vengeful spirits, evil spirits that do not possess the power of restarting, will be suppressed to the point of complete shutdown.

"The completion of the five-layered Golden Ghost Prison is such a joyous occasion; we must celebrate it properly!"

With a thought, Mu Sheng looked around at the concrete buildings that resembled tombstones.

He stretched out his right hand and swept it from left to right across the Kangjin base in front of him.

The base suddenly changed.

Countless golden rays burst forth from the ground, and a golden sea of ​​light engulfed the entire land.

"Look, the quarantine zone is moving away!"

"The base is expanding! That's wonderful! Lord Lord, you are truly awe-inspiring!"

The people living in the outermost concrete buildings of the base were the first to notice the changes at Kangjin Base.

The quarantine zone that encircles the entire base is advancing at a steady pace toward a more distant area.

Wherever the quarantine zone passed, the vengeful ghosts wandering in the wilderness seemed to have been struck on the head, suddenly losing their ability to move and falling into a state of paralysis.

In the quarantine zone, the bone forest waved its branches, binding and hanging the vengeful ghosts from the trees.

The murky waters of the Yellow Springs surged and flowed across the ground like a ravenous snake, swallowing up one fierce ghost after another.

One kilometer, two kilometers, three kilometers
The quarantine zone continued to expand outwards, only stopping after it had reached a distance of ten kilometers.

After this expansion, the Kangjin base now covers an area of ​​over 200 square kilometers, which is the size of a small to medium-sized city. "This area should be enough!"

Mu Sheng stopped what he was doing. There were still six bases to expand, and he couldn't use all his resources on this.

The site has expanded, and those concrete buildings that resemble tombstones need to be improved.

With a flash, Mu Sheng teleported to the top of the outermost concrete building.

Dozens of golden light membranes appeared and cut straight into the concrete building.

The 500-story reinforced concrete building instantly resembled a block of butter, cut into smaller cubes.

Holy crap! The building collapsed!

The sudden change caused panic among the people inside the building.

Fortunately, someone quickly recognized the iconic golden divine power, and order was restored inside the building.

Some of the bolder ones even lay on the light membranes that separated the buildings, gazing at Musheng in the sky.

"Look, it's Lord Prefect!"

"Where? Where? Where is the Prefect?"

"Ah!!! Lord Prefect is so handsome, I want to have his babies! Lord Prefect, please don't have pity on me!"

"Where did this beaker come from? You are not allowed to disrespect His Excellency!"

"Disgusting? Yes, thank you!"

"???"

Mu Sheng manipulated these small cubes, which were quickly rearranged and combined to form ten fifty-story concrete buildings.

boom! boom! boom!
With a casual wave of his hand, these buildings fell to a distance.

Fifty floors is still a bit high, but it's much better than the previous five hundred floors.

At least fifty stories high, even the people living on the top floor can go downstairs for a stroll every day.

Unlike before, those who lived on the 500th floor would probably be exhausted to death just going up and down one floor.

As for why there are no elevators, let's not even talk about how elevators can meet the travel needs of a million people; there's simply no elevator that can reach a height of 500 stories.

As for using the supernatural power of the Golden Ghost Prison?
Excuse me, Mu Sheng is here to be a savior, not a slave to save the world!

They're all called public servants, but I've never seen any of them serving tea or water to the people below.

After renovating one building, Mu Sheng followed the same method and completed the renovation of more than one hundred other concrete buildings in the Kangjin base.

They also added some greenery between the buildings.

"Great, this looks much better!"

In the sky, Mu Sheng looked down at the base below and finally revealed a look of satisfaction.

His efforts were worthwhile.

After finishing the renovation of the Kangjin base, Mu Sheng did not rush to the other six bases.

Instead, a single thought summoned Su Lei, Wang Shanshan, Miao Xiaoshan, and other women back to hold a gathering at the Yama Building.

Yes, it's a proper celebration party!

A few hours later.

Plumber Mu Sheng suddenly frowned, a distress message flashing through his mind.

"Ghost ship?"

Mu Sheng stopped what he was doing and looked up in the east.

With the combined effect of several supernatural forces, the scene of the Jishui Base in Dahai City suddenly appeared before his eyes.

Amidst a raging storm, a cruise ship over 700 meters long could be seen looming over the sea a dozen kilometers east of the Jishui base.

"Did Ye Zhen almost not escape?"

Mu Sheng's interest was piqued.

Ye Zhen was already a scapegoat with bug-level abilities, and he was also granted a divine position after being defeated by Mu Sheng.

His strength has been enhanced to an epic level.

Even this version of Ye Zhen almost perished, which shows how terrifying this ghost ship was.

Just then, the fifth layer of the Golden Ghost Domain was newly forged, and Mu Sheng couldn't help but feel the urge to try it out.

However, before he could even turn away, the carousels in front of him became unhappy.

A dozen pale, cold ghostly hands suddenly appeared on Mu Sheng's body.

These hands are slender and delicate, the only drawback being that they are very cold.

It's as cold as Arctic ice!

Even Mu Sheng, who possessed the body of a ghost or god, couldn't help but shudder.

The ghostly hands caressed Mu Sheng's body, stimulating his senses, especially one of the mischievous ghostly hands.
"Ouch! It's going to freeze!"

Mu Sheng gasped, a tingling sensation spreading from his tailbone to the top of his head.

"Are you cold? Let me warm you up!"

Before he could finish speaking, Mu Sheng felt a surge of scalding heat rushing to his brow.

This interlude of ice and fire immediately dispelled Mu Sheng's plan to go to Dahai City to meet the ghost ship.

"Forget it, let Yang Jian handle this minor matter of the ghost ship. I'd better deal with the important matters at hand first!"

While enjoying A Song of Ice and Fire, Mu Sheng sent a message to Yang Jian through his divine position.

After leaving the matter of the ghost ship to Yang Jian, Mu Sheng waved his arm, and a brocade cassock appeared out of thin air and was draped over his body.

With one hand raised in front of his chest, Mu Sheng glared angrily and shouted:
"You fiend, cease your arrogance! Take this Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon!"

Suddenly, the room was filled with the sound of chanting!
Hundreds of kilometers away from Dachang City, in the ruins of a dilapidated city.

Yang Jian wandered among the dilapidated buildings, searching for his destination.

Bang!

An advertising billboard suddenly fell from a leaning high-rise building at the intersection, hitting the road with a loud bang.

Yang Jian looked up abruptly and saw a black figure standing by the window on the tenth floor.

"Have you been targeted?"

Yang Jian didn't know how he had triggered the ghost's killing pattern, nor did he particularly care.

Ghosts kill in all sorts of ways; it could be a fart, seeing something, or simply bad luck.

Therefore, they may be targeted by ghosts.

This is precisely the truly terrifying aspect of the supernatural resurgence!
In this world teeming with vengeful spirits, no one knows when or why they might trigger the ghosts' killing patterns.

Yang Jian, unaware of the ghost on the high-rise building, continued walking towards his destination, still holding the map of Dahan City in his hand.

"It should be right here!"

Yang Jian stopped in front of a five-story building.

Although the surrounding buildings are decayed and many walls have collapsed, traces can still be vaguely seen.

After comparing the map in his hand several times, Yang Jian finally confirmed that this was the entrance to the Ghost Post Office in the real world.

Just as Yang Jian was about to unleash his Ghost Domain and forcefully break into the Ghost Post Office, he suddenly received a message from Mu Sheng.

"Dahai City? Something happened to Ye Zhen?"

Yang Jian stopped in his tracks and, without the slightest hesitation, transformed into a streak of rainbow light and vanished.

Investigating the Ghost Post Office is less important than dealing with the situation in Ocean City.
