Zuo Dao Becomes a God Starting from American Horror

Chapter 193 Analyzing Carrie's Decisiveness in Seclusion

Orlando.

Louis, upon returning home, gave the gifts he had brought back to Emma and the others.

However, Louis noticed a strange phenomenon: it seemed that factions had formed among them. No, in fact, they had existed for a while, but he hadn't paid attention to them.

Emma and Carrie are close, while Maria and Madison are childhood friends.

Yulenka, Hayley, and Mary, on the other hand, lived relatively independently.

This is closely related to their personalities and experiences.

Of course, none of this had anything to do with Louis.

After he returned, he began preparing for his seclusion.

This seclusion mainly involves three parts: magic techniques, magical artifacts, and cultivation. Materials for both magical artifacts and magic techniques need to be prepared, especially for magic techniques, which require careful consideration.

For example, a special kind of evil energy is needed to create a body. Louis has only found two kinds of evil energy so far: a portion of the Cold Evil in Crystal Lake and a portion of the Death Evil in the Great Cemetery.

The cold is chilling, and death is imminent.

The Body Tempering Technique utilizes different types of malevolent energy to temper the physical body. The better and stronger the malevolent energy, the stronger the body will be, and it will also possess some corresponding resistance.

For example, if it incorporates the Frost Fiend, it will have resistance to some cold-attribute forces and will not be easily defeated.

If enough energy is absorbed, there is a slim hope that it will eventually form an invulnerable body.

Unfortunately, malevolent energy is hard to find. Places where some people have died are just ordinary malevolent energy. For example, the deathly aura is formed by the condensation of this ordinary malevolent energy, simply because a lot of people have died.

As for other malevolent energies, Louis thought they probably only existed in those extreme terrains.

For example, places like volcanoes or the Arctic.

However, collecting them is difficult, especially without a corresponding method. And he can't possibly travel thousands of miles just because of some evil energy; that would be putting the cart before the horse. He has more than one skill.

Therefore, Louis planned to first integrate these two evil energies into his body, and whether or not to continue the integration would depend on fate. Once the two evil energies were integrated, his physical body would be able to overturn a small car, which would be considered a small achievement.

After all, most of the monsters in this world seem to be soul-type. Purely physical monsters have only encountered one ogre and Jason since he started his career.

There is no rush for now.

The technique following the killing of the body is the Five Qi Technique.

Because this technique can only cultivate one of the five elements, after careful consideration, Louis decided to cultivate the fire element. Among the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, metal and fire are the most powerful, and Louis is already used to playing with fire and is more familiar with it, so he might as well specialize in this aspect.

If one focuses solely on cultivating fire energy to enhance the power of flames, the power of fire magic will be extraordinary once the fire energy is perfected and fire magic is born!

This can be considered a solution for Louis, who currently lacks truly powerful spells.

"Furthermore, if you're going to eat hearts to speed up your growth, I don't know if animal hearts are even effective."

Louis thought it would be useful, since animals are also considered sentient beings and possess the five elements.

After setting the direction for the Five Elements Technique, Louis began to work on the third technique, the Hum and Ha Aperture Technique.

This technique requires developing the mouth and nose orifices, and gathering the power of the scattered soul to specifically destroy the soul. It is the most difficult technique among the three Yin God techniques.

First, Louis needs to expend a lot of magical power to refine his mouth and nose, and then condense the two magical seeds of "Hum" and "Ha" according to the cultivation method, nurturing the power of the scattered soul. Once the two magical seeds are completely condensed, the technique is considered complete.

It is time-consuming and laborious. If nothing unexpected happens, even a genius would need to spend years to master it. No wonder there are quick methods that involve eating raw brain marrow.

Of course, effort and reward are proportional. Once this technique is mastered and practiced frequently, the combination of the two can easily kill Yin Spirit cultivators, Yang Spirit cultivators are no match for it, and even Primordial Spirit cultivators must be on guard.

This is a technique that can lead to immortality.

"This technique cannot be forced. Perhaps I can break it down and cultivate it separately, taking it slowly."

Louis thought so.

The combination of "hum" and "ha" is indeed powerful, but it is also too difficult. So let's break them down and practice only one of them. This way, the difficulty will drop significantly.

That is when it truly becomes practical.

One should not be too rigid; one should be flexible and adaptable.

After finishing the procedures for the two acupoints, Louis thought of the last technique.

The Five Ghosts Technique (both major and minor).

There's not much to say about this skill; it all depends on whether you can prepare all the materials. If you do, everything is fine; if you don't, it's like a skilled cook trying to make a meal without rice.

These are the four magical arts as outlined by Louis.

"Spells, magical artifacts, and cultivation level, among which cultivation level is the most fundamental."

"I hope this retreat will be beneficial."

Arrive at the underground base of Rebirth Prison.

In a huge, secret chamber made entirely of alloy and inlaid with peach wood, Louis sat cross-legged, his magical power slowly circulating.

The Yin spirit began to move towards solidification.

The surging magical power is constantly growing stronger.

But outside the sealed room.

Straw was laid on the ground, and several Gu corpses moved slowly. Two figures, one yellow and one black, stood guard, and a dense array of armed guards patrolled the area.

Even in the elevator, there was a group of dogs led by Kronoa on patrol.

Any dangerous individuals who dare to approach this place will be met with its thunderous strike.

……

Just as Louis began his seclusion, the outside world also began to slowly change.

Just one month later.

Madison then surpassed the others and successfully gave birth to Yin Yuan. At the same time, her witch bloodline subtly awakened again. Meanwhile, her good sister Maria, who practiced the Ghost-Eating Witchcraft, finally broke through her inner Qi and gave birth to Yin Yuan two months later.

Meanwhile, Emma, who has always been in a leading position, is gradually perfecting her cultivation and is about to reach the realm of inner energy shackles.

Meanwhile, her best friend Carrie's psychic power continued to grow. Due to her bloodline, all the internal energy she cultivated was transformed into psychic power, and her strength continued to increase.

All four of them made significant progress.

Once people have the ability, they will want to put it into practice, and they are no exception.

Especially Madison and Emma.

Madison was naturally flamboyant, while Emma was always looking for trouble. Whoever had fun, Emma would definitely step in to help, regardless of whether it would cause any bad consequences or how many people would die.

As long as we can't catch her or implicate her, it doesn't matter.

If nothing comes of it, then so be it. After all, with Louis's authority, they are not exactly well-behaved, but they still follow his rules.

But unfortunately, there is no such thing as peace and stability in this world.

Two months after Louis went into seclusion.

Emma was in a good mood after finishing her class and winning another award. She hummed a lullaby softly to herself. Vanity was exactly what girls her age liked.

What she loves most is being the center of attention and receiving praise.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to take over the chairmanship that was vacated after Yulenka left.

That's right, Emma is now the new student council president. She not only took over Eulenka's position as president, but also inherited the connections Eulenka left behind in the school. Although Eulenka only served as president for a year, she had accumulated quite a network of connections, especially after Emma took over.

She has also manipulated the student council elections, and the student council is now her personal fiefdom.

As she walked along the road, one student after another greeted her, and Emma smiled and returned their greetings one by one. Her smile was kind and approachable, and her demeanor was impeccable.

She had to admit, she understood Yulenka a little better now; the feeling was spot-on. No wonder she was so power-hungry and even dreamed of becoming a senator.

Just as she was thinking about whether she should visit the parliament sometime, a phone rang.

It turned out to be Nancy, who had already graduated.

After graduating, Nancy only got into a local medical school in Orlando. Although Emma often met with her because she needed to change her amulet from time to time.

But the two didn't actually have much of a relationship.

Or perhaps Nancy is a clever person who could see through the bad traits of Emma and her ilk and had been intentionally keeping her distance all along.

Emma was genuinely surprised by the sudden phone call.

Emma smiled slightly after answering the phone.

On the other end of the phone was Nancy seeking help.

Patricia, a former student council member and friend, had to transfer schools and fall behind in her studies because her younger brother fell down the stairs and became a vegetable. Now, she has moved into a haunted house and is experiencing paranormal events.

When he confided in Nancy, she learned of his situation and naturally thought of Louis, who could solve paranormal cases.

It turned out that Louis's phone was unreachable, so they had no choice but to call Emma instead.

"I'm sorry, Louis is not available at the moment."

"Oh? Well, excuse me, let's try the church instead."

"No, no need. I mean, why don't you invite other capable people? Like me."

???

The next day.

In a somewhat secluded place, with no one around and only a decent-looking house, Emma and her three companions looked around, while Patricia and Nancy stood beside them.

It had been a while since I'd seen Nancy, and she looked rather unwell. Although she had a talisman that allowed her to sleep, she didn't sleep soundly; it took her eight hours of sleep to equal what others could do in four hours.

The only way to combat this side effect is to increase sleep duration.

As for Patricia, her dark circles were more pronounced, and her eyes were bloodshot, clearly indicating that she was under immense mental stress.

Are you sure there are paranormal events in your new house?

“Yes, my brother, he’s very likely possessed by that damned evil spirit!” Patricia said through gritted teeth, her eyes filled with pain.

After all, her brother fell to the ground and became a vegetable because of her.

Now we have to endure this kind of pain.

Damn evil spirits!
Emma clicked her tongue. Since she hadn't learned the Spirit Eye Technique, she could only look at Maria.

Of the four, Maria's other personality is a special spirit that can see the existence of other evil spirits.

As for why the other three people came here...

Carrie was her best friend, Madison was very flamboyant, and it only took a few words to provoke her into agreeing, which was easy for Emma. Maria, on the other hand, was Madison's good friend, and she could be manipulated through Madison.

Interpersonal relationships are like a web; a small change can have far-reaching consequences.

Emma is also learning from Yulenka.

Seeing Emma's gaze, Maria twitched her lips, rolled her eyes, and ignored the scheming guy. She secretly called out to Alan.

His eyes were covered in black, his expression changed slightly, and a cold and sinister aura quickly enveloped his entire body.

For a moment, she even bore a resemblance to Carrie, who always had a blank expression.

Alan smiled and looked the house up and down. "Hehe, this is a cursed house. I saw some traces of spirit activity on it. There are indeed evil spirits inside. However, they shouldn't be able to leave this house. At most, they'll just end up on the lawn outside."

"So, what are you trying to do? Disobey Louis's orders? Aren't you afraid of his punishment?"

"This is none of your business."

"Maria, take her back."

"Heh, no need, I'll go back myself." Alan chuckled coldly, rolled her eyes, and reverted to Maria.

Maria looked at Emma. "Alan is right. I was just about to say that. Can't we wait for Louis to come out?"

Emma shook her head slightly. "Louis wouldn't allow it. Did he take us with him on those two adventures?"

Carrie raised her head slightly.

She glared at Carrie. "Besides, we've learned all this stuff, so we have to try it out, right? Aren't you curious about who you are now?"

Madison tugged at Maria, "Although I don't like her, what she said makes a lot of sense, and I want to try my abilities too."

“But what if the evil spirit inside is very powerful and something goes wrong?” Maria was somewhat tempted, but still objected.

"Don't worry, that's why I asked you to call Alan out. If Alan saw danger, she definitely wouldn't have that attitude, but since she's acting this way, it means there's not much danger here."

"Besides, just to be on the safe side, I invited all three of you along."

Emma said so.

Maria was dumbfounded.

She never expected that Alan could be used in this way.
brush!
The whites of his eyes turned black again. "Wow, you're pretty good at this. I hope you don't mess it up, hmph!"

Upon hearing this, Emma smiled dismissively.

A rollover?

I am about to achieve perfect inner energy, Carrie is able to fight against demons, Maria is able to devour ghosts, and Madison is beginning to awaken her power.

Even if you add them all together, it still can go wrong?
impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
"Alright, I'm going to go test what I've learned anyway. You can decide for yourselves whether you want to or not."

After saying that, Emma walked forward.

Patricia and Nancy, who were startled by Maria's personality switch, quickly followed.

Maria hesitated, but in the end, Madison dragged her forward.

But at this moment.

Carrie, who had remained silent and seemed to have been persuaded by Emma, then took action.

She stretched out one hand.

A powerful, invisible burst of psychic energy erupted.

hum! ! !
The three women, Patricia and Nancy, who hadn't yet entered, were immediately blocked by the powerful wind pressure.

The two-story house started shaking.

"Oh my god!"

"Carrie! What are you doing!"

"..."
