163: Why is your Human Emperor Flag emitting black smoke?

“Stop, stop, don’t read anymore, please don’t! My head hurts so much!”

Cao Qing raised his hand, interrupting Ning Haocheng’s assault on his memory with dead knowledge.

Ning Haocheng, still wanting to continue, reluctantly stopped his popular science lecture, disappointed. “Are you sure you don’t need me to explain? This is your closest step to magic. Do you really not need to learn some self-preservation methods in this world with ghosts?”

Ning Haocheng’s voice echoed in his ears, like the whispers of a devil, again and again.

Cao Qing thought about how he had no special skills right now, gritted his teeth, and ‘thumped’ to his knees, kowtowing twice with loud thuds.

“Thump! Thump!”

The sounds were loud and forceful.

“Chu Ge, I really want to improve! Please teach me to Cultivate. From now on, I can be your lackey!”

After speaking, Cao Qing kowtowed twice more on the ground.

This scene completely bewildered Chu Mo and Ning Haocheng. Who would have expected someone to kowtow upon meeting?

Ning Haocheng stammered, “Chu Ge, this… this kid is too eager to improve. I think… this child must not be kept. Why don’t you hand him over to me? I’ll teach him linear algebra, systems of high-level equations…”

Hey! No…

Cao Qing knelt on the ground, his eyes wide as he looked at Ning Haocheng, feeling like cursing.

You motherfucker!

The chance to Cultivate Immortals was right in front of him, but you wanted him to Cultivate the Great Dao of Mathematics?

Didn’t he know whether he had the Aptitude to learn the Great Dao of Mathematics?

Chu Mo glanced at Ning Haocheng, “You know these?”

Ning Haocheng said bluntly, “I don’t, but I can learn! Once I learn, I’ll teach him these, guaranteeing his mathematical Ascension.”

Cao Qing: You motherfucker!

This is truly a beast!

What kind of group did I even join? A family of great love for Heaven and Earth? Uh, it does have the vibe of a dad and mom urging you to go to school, but this isn’t the result of Transmigration I wanted!

Learning mathematics before Transmigration, and still learning mathematics after Transmigration, wouldn’t that make my Transmigration pointless?!

“Stop, stop!” Chu Mo raised his hand, and a gentle breeze lifted Cao Qing, who was kneeling on the ground. Then he asked, “Cultivating Immortals, learning magic, or walking the Martial Dao, or even the path of modern technology, let’s put that aside for now. Have you organized the information about your world?”

“There are ghosts in your world, but I don’t know if there are Daoists or monks? Is it the Age of Dharma Decline? If so, and it conforms to the Laws of Heaven and Earth, then it is possible to Cultivate Immortals. Although difficult, with Spirit Stones that provide Spiritual Qi, Cultivation won’t be too hard!”

Different worlds have different Cultivation Laws, just like the ordinary worlds of Li Tian Ce and Qi Xuan.

Cultivation there is extremely difficult.

Li Tian Ce is a bit better; with the Imperial Dynasty’s luck rising, he can barely progress with the help of national fortune. Plus, with his visits here, his cultivation has also made some progress.

But Qi Xuan, over there, is still a small Cultivator in the Qi Refinement Stage who relies on Spirit Stones for Cultivation.

From this, it is clear how much the Innate world rank and personal choices influence the progress of one’s own strength.

Therefore, for Cao Qing, choosing a path that fits the rules of his world is extremely important.

Based on his previous memories, Cao Qing recalled, “In the world I Transmigrated to, there are some Daoists and monks, but they’re all exposed fakes. I don’t know what the situation is, I just know it’s a modern world, and I was inexplicably lured into this abandoned Qingshan Residential District…”

There was too little information.

Chu Mo had no way of getting more information about this world from Cao Qing.

However, one thing the three of them currently knew was that there were ghosts in this world. Since there were ghosts, it indicated that this was not a simple modern city.

Ning Haocheng looked at Cao Qing, who was still immersed in a beautiful future, “There should be cell phones now, right? You can just take out your phone and check for information!”

Cao Qing came back to his senses, scratching his head awkwardly, “Well… I’m a pauper. I can’t even pull out a single coin, let alone a phone.”

It was very real; the original body had a miserable life, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been led to such an old Qingshan Residential District with just a few words.

“Let me clean up here first, and then, we’ll talk outside!” As Chu Mo made his decision, a small banner appeared in his palm.

Black smoke billowed from the banner, which clearly wasn’t a Righteous Path banner.

Cao Qing was also an experienced bookworm, having read countless novels, and immediately recognized the banner’s origin.

“Ten… Ten Thousand Souls Banner…”

“Slap!”

Cao Qing covered his head and squatted on the ground, looking up at Ning Haocheng with a bewildered expression. He didn’t understand why the other person hit him.

Ning Haocheng pointed at the small black banner floating in mid-air, correcting him, “What Ten Thousand Souls Banner? This is the Human Emperor Flag!”

Cao Qing said aggrievedly, “But it’s clearly spewing black Qi. How is it the Human Emperor Flag…?”

Mid-sentence, he saw Ning Haocheng raise his hand again, and swallowed the words that were at his throat.

Then, he slowly stood up, an expression of extreme surprise on his face.

“Oh my god! This is such pure Grandmist purple Qi, it’s so purple it’s turned black!”

Ning Haocheng: “…”

Chu Mo: “…”

To be fair, the group members of this third session are truly not ordinary people.

They are simply talented!

Able to bend and stretch, knowing their mistakes and correcting them…

If they were in the Immortal Realm, they would surely stir up trouble, gathering people from all over the world for heart-to-heart talks.

As for the content of the talks, that doesn’t matter; just say they gathered, and that’s it.

After the Human Emperor Flag appeared, the clouds over Qingshan Residential District were stirred up. Gradually, a huge vortex formed outside.

The entire Qingshan Residential District was enveloped by dense black Qi, and the ghosts within felt extreme pressure.

It was like an immeasurable heavenly might, about to unleash thunderous methods upon them.

“How could this happen? Such terrifying aura! Has a Ghost King appeared in Qingshan Residential District?” An old ghost shivered, cowering in a refrigerator.

“Ghost King? No, I’ve seen Ghost Kings, but even they don’t have such a terrifying aura.” A hanged ghost used its long tongue to break through a window, wanting to escape Qingshan Residential District, but was sucked in by a powerful force the moment it left the room.

Other ghosts who also wanted to leave were instantly terrified and stopped in their tracks.

“What should we do? Going out is death! Staying here is no different from waiting for death. What should we do?!”

“Should we fight it out?!”

“Fight? What do we have to fight with? You saw the fate of the hanged ghost. He was considered upper-middle level among us, and yet, he vanished the moment he stepped out. We don’t even know who did it, how can we fight?!”

“Then what can we do? The vortex in the sky is getting closer and closer. Even in the room, I’m not safe. Just looking at it makes my Soul feel like it’s being sucked away. What can we do now?!”

“…”

The black Qi flow, covering the sky and obscuring the sun, formed a gigantic vortex, threatening to swallow the entire Qingshan Residential District.

The ghosts hidden within Qingshan Residential District were utterly terrified and helpless. Eerie wails and howls echoed far and wide, making one’s heart tremble.
