Zuo Dao Becomes a God Starting from American Horror

Chapter 263 The Origin of the Sun God: The Profound Nature of the Dual Cultivation Array
"Twelve sects, twelve kinds of demons, isn't this essentially just using the power of demons to cast spells?"

Louis carefully read through the entire explanation of the twelve schools of black magic and came to this conclusion.

The strength of this spell depends entirely on how powerful the demon being worshipped is, whether it is willing to lend its power, and whether you yourself meet the requirements.

Moreover, it's easy to get started, but difficult to master.

Because they often die before they can reach a high level, they never have the chance to practice further.

"How powerful are these twelve kinds of demons?"

Louis read it carefully and found that the description didn't really resonate with him; it was roughly the same as his current situation.
Yes.

almost.

He is now a Yang God, qualified to establish a sect and recruit disciples. In ancient times, he would be an object of worship, truly on the same level as these twelve demons who can grant abilities to their worshippers!
Wait, if we could lure these twelve demons over...

This should be a great gain.

Louis's eyes flashed as he looked at the twelve paintings.

A moment later, he looked away in disappointment.

He discovered that the twelve pictures above were merely simple images, without any method of contemplation or any spiritual charm.

Indeed, inheritance is just inheritance; how could it possibly involve twelve demons?

"...A chicken rib!"

Unwilling to give up, Louis carefully examined the technique again. Finally, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he thought of his own Yang Spirit realm.

“Perhaps, I can be this demon,” Louis murmured to himself.

To be precise, it's about imitating the foundation of this art so that others will worship him in order to acquire more resources.

According to the spells, these demons are essentially groups of evil forces without a clear will, only instinct. People make offerings to them to borrow their power, and the demons can also get what they want from the worshippers, such as killing intent, flesh and blood, spirituality, poison, evil energy, etc., that suit them.

It is an alternative way of collecting.

If Louis were to learn from these evils, in this world overflowing with desires, there would certainly be no shortage of learners, and thus no shortage of sacrifices.

"This idea is worth a try, but we need to test whether a part of my Yang spirit can do what these demons can do, and we also need to plan what kind of sacrifices I need."

Louis was a man of action, and he immediately took action.

When the Yang spirit was first formed, Louis did not immediately begin to differentiate, but instead first conducted a brief simulation and deduction.

The golden Yang spirit shifted and changed shape within the body, adapting to its own will.

After some self-adjustment.

Louis finally got the hang of it.

Following the description of the demon in the technique, he began to extend his will. Golden threads, like tentacles, emerged from Louis's body, extending outwards and disappearing into the void.

At the same time, Louis began to inscribe rules into his will.

After a while.

A golden sun, no bigger than a fist, separated from Louis and hung high in his mind's eye, shining like the rising sun upon all living beings. Its reality and illusion were constantly changing, as if it could appear in other places at any moment.

Louis suddenly opened his eyes, and a golden sun flashed in his vision.

"It's quite simple. This kind of unconventional method is very interesting. It's like a personal terminal. When it meets the rules, the energy source will be activated, the computer system will start operating, and it will run according to the programming language to achieve the pre-simulated programs (techniques)."

"It's similar to the fantasy novels I read in my previous life. Gods use their divine power to create divine spells, which priests can use once they reach a certain level of authority."

However, the little sun that Louis just created is not that powerful; it is merely an energy source equivalent to a Yin God, and it can only connect to a thousand consciousnesses.

Unless Louis is willing to cut out more Yang Spirit now, instead of just these scraps, the only option is to wait until Louis's main body has a higher level of cultivation and then increase the investment.

Now that we have the energy source, we still need the rules and techniques.

So, what do I need?

What can the person who obtains this modified version of black magic offer him?

This is a problem.

Louis fell into deep thought.

His primary goal was naturally to improve his cultivation, but after reaching the Yang God Realm, apart from a very few rare and precious natural treasures, ordinary things like common medicinal herbs were no longer of any use and had no auxiliary effect.

Even the evil souls used to refine demons and devour ghosts are of no use if they are below the demon level, unless there are a large number of them, and the quantitative change leads to the qualitative change.

Moreover, those who obtain this black magic are probably mostly ordinary people, so what can they offer?

Upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that humans possess a great deal, but very little is valued by those at a higher level.

After a while.

Louis realized what he wanted.

"name."

In the future, I will have to undergo a godhood ceremony. After becoming a god, I will need incense offerings and faith, so the prerequisite is to be famous.

Moreover, he plans to establish his own sect and religion in the future, so how could he not make a name for himself?
This technique can actually be used as a screening tool and a propaganda tool for recruiting qualified followers.

If things go well in the future, it's not impossible for them to capture demon-level souls to sustain themselves.

With that thought in mind, Louis understood the situation.

The spellcasting rules were meticulously recorded.

Either their temperament and aptitude meet the requirements; or they can offer something useful, such as a demon-level soul, a special formation, or a special treasure; or they have a special identity; or their circumstances are special...

With the rules recorded, the next step is the final step: the spells that can be used.

Louis glanced at the black magic spells in the "Comprehensive Explanation of the Twelve Schools of Black Magic" and found that he couldn't use most of them because they were spells that matched the characteristics of the evil spirits.

Now that I've changed to this new Yang spirit, my magic techniques naturally need to be changed as well.

Yang Shen possessed extraordinary learning abilities. He scanned all the black magic techniques, instantly understanding and mastering them all. He then proceeded to improve, modify, emasculate, and integrate them...

They quickly created a low-level magic system, which included not only some modified general black magic, but also some magic techniques that Louis had mastered, such as hiding magic and fire magic.

"Very good, mission accomplished."

"With this system, we can collect the necessary resources, recruit followers, and spread our reputation. Not bad at all."

"By the way, if we're going to promote its fame, let's call it the Sun God."

Yang Shen, the golden little sun, and then the sun god.

It might have been a bit hasty, but Louis thought it sounded pretty good.

Whoosh!
Inside the basement, the fossils were made of mud.

A striking sculpture suddenly appeared.

A mysterious figure draped in a red robe adorned with stars, his face obscured, holding a gigantic sun in his hand. This is the outward manifestation of Louis's little sun, and also the specific object of sacrifice by the believers.

Having done all this, Louis breathed a sigh of relief.

This little thing, though it only took him a short time to make, is actually not simple, and he paid a price for it.

Now, his Yang spirit has become somewhat weak.

"Neon...neon..."

After mentioning that nuclear treasure trove for a couple of minutes...

Louis turned his attention to another lineage.

The Five Elements Gathering Technique given by the great demon Malthus.

Since ancient times, in Taoist cultivation theory, the human body has been a huge treasure trove, in which the five elements circulate endlessly, thus constituting the human body.

This is the Lesser Five Elements.

On the outside, there are the Five Elements.

All matter in the universe is constructed from the five elements.

And spiritual practice should naturally begin with the Five Elements.

The Five Elements Gathering at the Origin is a cultivation concept. Above this, there is another concept, the Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown, which will not be discussed for now.

This Five Elements Gathering Method is a fundamental method, similar to Louis's True Lord Visualization Diagram.

What is the fundamental law? It is the law that strengthens the source.

Louis's True Lord Visualization Diagram mainly focuses on strengthening the body, while this Five Qi Gathering Method focuses on strengthening the life force. Thus, the combination of the two is the cultivation of both body and life force.

There's a saying that goes, "If you cultivate your nature but not your destiny, your spirit will never attain sainthood!"

Sexuality governs the spirit, while life governs the vital energy.

Both are indispensable.

Now that Louis has become a Yang God, although the Yang God nourishes the physical body, there will inevitably be some bias between the two. Although it will not be unbalanced, it is still equally strong. How can it be as powerful as being strong in everything?

Moreover, this way, one will have a better chance of becoming an immortal in the future.

This Five Qi Gathering Method makes up for this.

Its main purpose is to strengthen the five elements within the body through the circulation of the five elements, which can both strengthen the physical body and nourish magical power.

"Can the Five Qi Gathering and the Five Qi Technique be combined?"

Louis looked at this life-saving technique and fell into deep thought.

The Five Qi Technique involves cultivating the five qi within the chest, focusing on one qi. After strengthening the corresponding internal organs to a certain degree, a technique will be derived. Finally, when all five qi are perfected, one can become a Qi Immortal.

Louis had been practicing this art, eating the hearts of various animals to accelerate his cultivation.

Unfortunately, while animal hearts are not unusable, human hearts are ultimately the best. That's why, even after all this time, Louis hasn't mastered the Fire element and hasn't developed any Five Elements techniques.

Now, this Five Qi Gathering Method uses the circulation of the Five Elements to strengthen the Lesser Five Elements within the body. So, could it be used to accelerate the cultivation of the Five Qi Technique and strengthen the corresponding parts in advance?

After the internal organs are strengthened, the corresponding five elements of energy produced will naturally become stronger, thus entering a virtuous cycle.

The more Louis thought about it, the brighter his eyes became.

feasible!

As modern people, we must open our minds and dare to try new things!
Having more techniques is good; various divine skills and secret arts can be combined to achieve better results. Ancient people didn't have this opportunity.

However, while he was willing to try, Louis dared not start right now.

After all, this is a major matter concerning the five vital energies in one's chest. If anything goes wrong, one's life will be in danger, and a single mistake can have far-reaching consequences.

"Let's try it later. If possible, let's do some human experiments on criminals first and see if it works."

After remembering this idea, Louis looked to the next successor.

This inheritance was given by the demon god Valak, and is the general outline of the Thirty-Six Star Array.

"The Great Celestial Map, the major star deities and their attributes, array diagrams, the I Ching..."

"Ten thousand million malevolent stars, thirty-six Heavenly Generals, seventy-two Earthly Fiends, the White Tiger constellation of the West... the Emperor's Star, the Purple Star, the Star of Chaos, the Sun and the Moon, two ancient stars..."

"..."

The more Louis looked, the more confused he became.

Since ancient times, the I Ching has been regarded as an ancient version of a programming language, and its complexity ranks first among many esoteric and divination knowledge.

The general outline of the formation in front of us is just one of the learning materials in the I Ching. There are also various kinds of knowledge about stars, formation positions, and even knowledge about refining formation flags and selecting formation eyes.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it encompasses everything.

Even a powerful soul at the level of Louis Yangshen began to feel a dull ache after watching for a while, and the golden light began to dim.

"hiss!!"

Louis jerked his head back, and the bright golden light in his eyes vanished instantly.

Blood was flowing from his nostrils, and even bloody tears were overflowing from the corners of his eyes, making him look rather pitiful.

Louis, however, appeared somewhat excited.

"Formations are indeed profound and complex; they are fundamentally a knowledge about the application of heaven and earth!"

Unlike the previous weapon-refining manuals, which were only basic or below the Immortal level, this Star Array General Outline is different; it even contains content related to Immortals!
Of course, Louis didn't dare to look closely, otherwise the explosion of his Yang God would have been his only fate.

Before reaching the Nascent Soul Realm, also known as the Half-Immortal Realm, Louis had no intention of watching the later content; that would be tantamount to courting death.

Even the content from the early to mid-stages is enough for Louis to study and understand thoroughly.

Once Louis masters it, he is confident that he will be invincible among his peers, and even challenge opponents of higher levels. Taking on ten thousand opponents by himself will not be a problem!
Formations are the art of using the power of heaven and earth to defeat the many with the few and to fight beyond one's level!

"Whoo~"

There are countless cultivation techniques, and I now have two skills to rely on.

After forcibly suppressing his turbulent mind, Louis decided to shift his training schedule. In addition, his original plan to ascend to godhood in 99 years would likely be disrupted.

After seeing this formation, Louis had a new idea about the Ascension Technique.

The formations in the Ascension Technique, which I originally thought were quite ingenious, now seem utterly crude and unsightly!
The reason this technique was able to accomplish such a glorious feat as ascending to godhood was largely due to its exploitation of the rules of other gods and the power of celestial phenomena; the actual technical skill involved was only average.

Louis planned to study the general principles of this array formation before making further modifications to the array formations within the Ascension Technique, aiming for perfection to avoid any mishaps.

"However, in that case, it's better not to sleep anymore; it's a bit of a waste of time."

Louis has always maintained a four-hour sleep schedule to preserve people's lifestyle, but now it seems necessary to abandon this habit.

There simply isn't enough time for cultivation!
