Zuo Dao Becomes a God Starting from American Horror

Chapter 318 New Inheritance

Karl's tiger-like eyes glanced towards the backyard, and he snorted coldly, "Once you're healed, get out and live on your own. Cut off all funding to you during that time. A bunch of idiots who can't even recognize their own worth!"

After saying that, he looked at Max and asked, "You don't have any objections, do you?"

Max nodded with a grim expression. "No, they deserved it."

How could he not understand? It was clearly his sons who were causing trouble, and that's why Emma, ​​who was with Louis, had taught them a lesson. He hadn't missed seeing Emma's sudden return.

Having said that, he could no longer contain his fiery temper and walked towards the backyard with his fists clenched.

Carl didn't stop it.

Instead, he sighed, his tone slightly bewildered, "This is how it is when a family grows big. This is only the grandchildren's generation. When you are the next generation, will you still be able to maintain unity?"

Such confusion flashed by, and the idea of ​​establishing a system of competition within the family arose spontaneously.

It's unlikely that future generations will value family and unity as much as their founders did, relying solely on family education. To be on the safe side, it's still necessary to establish internal systems. Perhaps we can take inspiration from the wealthy families of Japan and Japan, as well as the family trusts of the United States today...

Louis, standing beside him, remained silent. He had nothing to say, even though he didn't value worldly possessions, such as wealth. To be honest, he didn't even know exactly how much money Kano International had. After all, these were only for supporting his spiritual practice, and priorities couldn't be reversed.

But if one's own cousin is so foolish, then some things need to be considered differently.

Fortunately, my grandfather, uncles and other relatives were very kind, and the family was still trustworthy.

“Grandfather, children and grandchildren have their own destinies. There’s no need to worry about things so far in the future. Let them play by themselves,” Louis said indifferently.

Carl shook his head. "Let's go out for a walk, so we don't stay here getting angry."

Louis and his grandfather went out together and strolled in the garden, chatting.

During this time, they also met the black-armored warriors that Louis had trained with the family. Looking at these soldiers, Louis said frankly, "Grandfather, as long as the trouble on Ellis's side is not the true form of a demon, this force is fully capable of handling her troubles. There is no need to worry."

Thinking about the approximate strength levels of the mystical side that Louis had "explained" to him, Karl had a general idea, but a question still lingered in his mind, which he couldn't help but ask.

"Little Louis, what's your strength now? Demon level? Or... Grand Demon level?"

Louis smiled modestly and said, "I'd say I'm a major demon-level being, but I can still walk around a bit with impunity in America."

Karl was taken aback.

The demons were already enough to leave the National Guard helpless, so the Great Demon... I'm afraid it would take a large number of troops to deal with it?

Carl guessed based on his somewhat superficial experience in the mystical world.

If that's the case, then in this new era that's about to begin, the Cano family can be considered to be the one with the advantage in terms of military force!
His resolve immediately strengthened, and he decided to send those idiots to the bottom to hone their skills.

"By the way, grandfather, has the family encountered any trouble or anything happened during this time?"

Carl casually recounted the events in Mexico.

"...Our people have already established a foothold over there and can smuggle large quantities of goods, such as eggs. The profit from smuggling these is much higher than that from drugs."

"Also, we've uncovered those spies within our ranks. When those drug trafficking rings were dismantled, they finally revealed their names. I'm still holding those people in custody. You can go and see them if you're interested."

Louis's lips curled slightly, his eyes narrowed, and he became interested.

He was extremely interested in the spies who led to his abduction. Last time, he only killed the drug dealers who trafficked him, but these traitors were also the culprits!
He's held this grudge since childhood, but he never had the time to deal with it before. Now...?

He plans to search the souls to compile a list, and then make a special trip to Mexico to carry out a bloodbath!
Licking his lips.

In the palm of his hand, the Blood River Pearl, which was undergoing transformation, shimmered with a faint red light.

Seeing this, Carl laughed, "Come on, I knew you still held a grudge."

……

After finishing his conversation with his grandfather, Louis stayed at his old home for the time being, and took the opportunity to have his soul searched by those spies, obtaining their names from the list.

Nighttime, a room in the villa.

The youthful beauty was captivating, especially Emma, ​​who was already in the process of spiritual cultivation; her body was not like that of an ordinary person and could not withstand such treatment.

Louis lay on the bed, gently stroking Emma's soft hair with one hand.

"You did a good job today."

Louis suddenly said.

Emma, ​​her face flushed, curled her lips into a smile, looked up, and ran a strand of hair through Louis's body. "You're mine. I won't allow them to speak ill of you or try to take things from you."

Louis didn't say anything, he just rolled over.

Louis sat up, leaned against the cushions, took a deep breath, and relaxed completely. But instead of going to sleep, he let his consciousness sink into his sea of ​​consciousness.

What just happened was a minor matter, and he didn't take it to heart. He had something else to deal with now.

As his eyes flickered, the illusory images of pages of a book shimmered in his pupils.

Besides the numerous spoils of war, he also received the reward of the Civil Code inheritance from this trip to Japan. Although he is now so powerful that he basically no longer gives rewards to those below the Great Demon level, there were still some heavyweight characters on this trip to Japan.

It's a pity that the Soul Demon is only at the peak of the Demon level. It's not certain that it will inherit anything, but it might give some minor spells.
Kayako and Sadako Yamamura are the main characters. Although neither of them has reached their peak, they still possess the strength of ordinary Greater Demons.

In addition, after returning, he immediately resolved the Nightmare King Freddy incident. Don't be fooled by the fact that he didn't seem to have any outstanding performance. That's because he wasn't in his home field. Once he was in the dream world, he would know what the power of a great demon, or even a great demon at its peak, really meant!

Therefore, this is also a reward point.

Three reward points.

It consists of three inheritances.

This was also an unexpected bonus for Louis.

I haven't had a chance to "open the treasure chest" since I got back, but now that I have some free time, I can try my luck.

Let's see if we can get some heavyweight inheritance.

These thoughts flashed through my mind.

In the sea of ​​consciousness.

The broad, thick book, seemingly with endless pages, began to turn, one, two, three pages lighting up with golden light. Sure enough, only three inheritances were given.

As Louis's power grows, the number of inheritances he grants decreases.

Just then, another page lit up.

However, its light appeared rather dim, and at first glance, it gave the impression of being inferior to the other three.

This is?

Will peak Demon-level characters still receive inheritance?

In this case……

Perhaps, once I break through to the Pure Yang Realm, the Demon-level will no longer grant me any inheritance.

Louis made this conjecture, then immediately put aside his other thoughts and looked at the pages of the book.

Adhering to the principle of "bitter before sweet," we focus on the less radiant golden page.

【Thousand-Mile Tracking - Round Light Technique】

Ordinary spells.

Originating from a Taoist sect in Sichuan, this technique is primarily used for tracking. One only needs to obtain a relevant item and prepare a bronze mirror or a bronze basin filled with water to perform the spell. The distance depends on one's cultivation level. At a high level, one can even track directly using memories.

Note: Whether tracking is possible in a special space depends on the specific circumstances and the individual's cultivation level.

"interesting."

As for tracking, Louis didn't really have any good methods. Most of the time, he would just leave a magical mark as a marker. Just like when he met the man on the train who seemed to be the protagonist who had escaped from the first "Hostel" movie, Louis only left a mark for him, which could provide a vague sense of direction.

It's impossible to track someone down in such detail what they're doing, where they are, and what they're saying.

Moreover, once one reaches a higher level, they can even track things based on their memories, which makes things even more convenient.

It's a technique that has some practical value.

Louis felt that this was most likely contributed by the Soul Demon, although it didn't seem to match the Soul Demon's attributes quite well, but he could still accept it.

Louis looked to the next one, this time at the three bright gold pages.

[Soul Lamp Technique]

Take a wisp of soul, and guide a spirit.

Don't be fooled by the unassuming name of this technique; its effects are surprisingly powerful.

It has two main functions: one is to light a soul lamp for others to determine whether they are alive or dead, and the other is to defend against some attacks targeting the soul. It can be considered a special soul-type magical artifact.

The other is to guide the soul, forcibly preserving the soul of the soul lamp's owner, guiding it back to the soul lamp, and storing it to prevent the soul from becoming confused.

The next step, whether to be reincarnated or to cultivate as a ghost immortal, can be decided later; it can be considered a kind of life-saving ability.

Combining the two, this Soul Lamp Technique is very suitable for use by the sect's disciples, especially those seed disciples valued by the sect. It is very useful. Although it does not help Louis and others' personal strength, it is quite important for the sect and can be considered a good gain.

"Guarding the soul, guiding the soul... why does this soul lamp feel like the standard equipment for elite scions of powerful families in those fantasy novels?"

Having read so many novels, I unconsciously projected myself into them, and I must say, it really does resemble them.

Louis looked at it more carefully.

This technique cannot be used casually. First, one's cultivation level must meet the requirements, and the caster must be at least at the Yin Spirit Realm. The materials used for the spell also have requirements; they must be magical artifacts refined from lamps that have been used by people for many years.

Believe it or not, the requirements are quite strange. According to the tradition, it is because things that have been used by people for a long time will develop a subtle spirituality and be full of human energy, making them more likely to become spirits. Such things are more suitable for guarding souls.

Louis was familiar with this idea. In traditional Chinese folklore, there are often such sayings about spirits. Brooms that have been used for a long time, old household objects, etc., may become spirits. And the spirits of these old objects vary depending on the attributes of the objects and the personality of their owners.

Some are detrimental to the owner, while others bring prosperity.

But most of the time, it's not a good thing for old objects to become sentient.

This belief is also prevalent in Japan, where half of the eight million spirits are said to be such things, and they even have a special name for them—Tsukumogami!

And now, this thing can actually be used to guard souls.

This piqued Louis's interest; perhaps he could try it out and see if he could create a tsukumogami to study the workings of so-called popularity.

This is the key point of the Soul Lamp Technique. As for the other casting requirements, they are not difficult for someone of Louis's level of cultivation.

Louis merely glanced at it before moving on to the next spell.

[Medicinal Techniques]

Medicine arts, as the name suggests, are techniques related to medicine. This lineage is somewhat special, more like a variant of the Zhuyouke, a special discipline in ancient Chinese medicine. It is full of techniques related to medicine, medical skills, and so on.

There are 800 minor techniques such as debridement and hydrotherapy, 108 common techniques such as dispelling wind and cold and treating fractures, and 36 divine techniques that can bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded!
Of course, the final act of bringing the dead back to life and restoring flesh to bones is an exaggeration, but saving someone on the verge of death and restoring limbs is too simple. Even a cultivator like Louis could cure him, which is practically another direction for alchemy.

Louis didn't acquire much orthodox alchemy, so obtaining this medicine-making technique is quite good, especially since it makes up for Louis's lack of skills in this area.

He hadn't forgotten how, during his previous trip to Japan, he was helpless when faced with Kayako's severely burned body, and it was only after obtaining the Azure Cursed Bead that the problem was solved.

The only problem is that this technique has a relatively low ceiling. Although it can heal cultivators, it is still far inferior to alchemy.

Especially when Louis advances to the Nascent Soul Realm and forms a Dharma Body, this medicine technique will likely become useless, only good for saving others or as a sect's inheritance.

It is more useful than the Soul Lamp Technique and the Round Light Technique, but its effectiveness is limited.

It seems that these three arts are more useful for the sect's inheritance and less helpful for Louis's personal development.

"Why does it feel like the inheritance of the Civil Code has weakened? Is it just my imagination? Or..."

Louis had a guess in his mind. He felt that perhaps as his cultivation level improved, the number of high-end inheritances in the Civil Code began to decrease. Moreover, besides cultivating successors, the biggest function of the Civil Code was to create a Dao lineage and whitewash the Left Path Divine Lord.

It should contain many techniques related to inheritance.
