Zuo Dao Becomes a God Starting from American Horror

Chapter 364 The Giant Corpse in the Mirror - A Man from Longshan Kingdom
Even small items have their unique features, and this turquoise spell bead is one such example.

The only downside is that the refining method is rather inhumane. It not only consumes the earth's vitality but also draws on the luck of living people, making it somewhat sinister.

Even if it is simplified, its essence will not change; it still needs to draw on vitality and fortune. Therefore, choosing where to refine it is an important issue.

However, this was not a problem at all in this world of frequent wars and rampant materialism. In an instant, Louis thought of places like Japan, South Korea, Indonesia, India, Mexico, Africa, and of course, the other major states of the United States.

The countries chosen are either those with a societal unrest, high levels of public pressure, and rampant heterodox religions, or those plagued by frequent wars and where human life is disregarded, with India, Mexico, and Africa being the most prominent examples.

India is the world's largest producer of human bones, one of the world's most populous countries, a major producer of illegal drugs, and a bizarre country where the oppressed do not resist but instead engage in frenzied religious persecution.

Mexico needs no further introduction; even the government is a kingdom of drug addicts. Louis XIV had left some backup plans there, which can be used as a foundation for development, and perhaps even to control the country through religion.

Africa is a treasure trove, with its vast, boundless lands, countless uncivilized inhabitants, and numerous small, war-torn countries...

With this move, the development of the Church of Apocalypse will no longer require much consideration; it's just a matter of time before it grows and prospers.

Playing with the complete emerald cursed bead that had been absorbed over decades, Louis chuckled, poured in some divine power, and after discovering that it indeed could not withstand it, waved his hand.

He tore open a spatial rift and delivered it to Carrie.

Higa Kotoko is currently teaching Carrie how to manage a large organization. Next, Carrie will become a manager among the apostles, responsible for managing the Church of Apocalypse.

Among the women, Carrie is the most reliable and has the strongest initiative. Although she is not a highly intelligent person, Emma and the others are, so she can serve as a support.

Louis looked at the other objects.

One of the eight beads, the Jingfeng Bead, also came from the Neon Journey. This thing can mobilize the power of the wind and is a high-grade magic weapon. Moreover, it is a set of magic treasures. A set of eight is a primordial spirit magic treasure. The eight wind powers, which are similar to the Bagua, can be mobilized at will, making it very versatile.

The method for refining the other seven Wind Pearls is also preserved inside. With Louis's current strength, he is already able to begin refining this set of magical artifacts.

"Northwest wind at the start of winter, north wind at the winter solstice, northeast wind at the start of spring, east wind at the spring equinox, southeast wind at the start of summer, south wind at the summer solstice, southwest wind at the start of autumn, and southwest wind at the autumn equinox."

"Eight winds unite as one, forming the Wind-Stabilizing Divine Pearl."

The original Taoist sect that refined the Eight Winds Pearls had the ultimate goal of making them immortal artifacts, comparable to the legendary Wind-Fixing Pearl. Unfortunately, in the end, only the Jingfeng Pearl, representing the southern wind of the summer solstice, remained.

“By refining according to the solar terms and directions, which is in line with the will of heaven and reduces the difficulty, we can capture a line of wind power, cultivate and strengthen it, and finally fuse it together to obtain a relatively complete wind power that can drive the wind to its extreme. This simplified method is quite interesting.”

Between waving hands.

Louis used his divine power and the Treasure Transformation Technique from the Myriad Treasures Shattering Void Technique to refine seven magical artifact embryos.

Seven translucent glass beads swirled in the air, contrasting sharply with the brightly colored Jingfeng beads, which seemed to be surrounded by wind and emanated energy fluctuations.

Next, all you need to do is refine it according to the solar terms. It contains a trace of divine power, which can speed up the process.

It only takes a few years to obtain a magical artifact.

“Divine power, truly a panacea.” After briefly marveling at the convenience of divine power, Louis looked at the other objects.

From different perspectives, these magical artifacts and materials will yield different discoveries, such as the Azure Mantra Bead and the Landscape Wind Bead.

One has great uses for healing power, and the other has great reference value for the method of refining magical artifacts by disassembling them.

Hopefully, the remaining treasures will yield similar results.

The remaining artifacts include divine weapons such as the Sword of Zolefikar, sacred objects, and otherworldly crystals, as well as the Five Great and Small Ghosts, a simple altar, the Spirit Realm of the Mountain, and the Qin King's Bone-Illuminating Mirror.

He had some ideas about the Five Great Ghosts, the altar, and the spiritual realm. He could try to establish a lineage and set up an altar to establish a path. These things could be put together perfectly.

With his current godhood, he is strong enough to prevent some unexpected situations from occurring in the mortal world.

So, let's not rush. Let's finish reading the others before starting the forum.

Louis turned his attention to the Qin King's Bone-Illuminating Mirror. This magical artifact, like the Jingfeng Pearl, was obtained from Japan, but originated from the ancient pre-Qin era of the Eastern Kingdom.

Its material itself contains a yang essence that has been present for a hundred years, making it a high-grade magic weapon embryo. As long as it is properly nurtured, it can be used to obtain a high-grade magic weapon. Furthermore, it contains a high-level energy that is extremely domineering and can easily decompose curses such as curses and resentments. It should not be underestimated and contains mysteries. This was the conclusion that Louis reached at the time.

Now that Louis has ascended to godhood, his status and perspective are different, and he sees this magical artifact in a different light.

With unstoppable divine power, the final layer of restrictions was easily destroyed and refined. While completely mastering the embryonic form of this superior magic artifact, the divine power also extended its senses into the mirror.

Mirrors have been the subject of many legends since ancient times, and are closely related to space, evil spirits, and so on.

Following that high energy, the mirror seemed to break through a special barrier and gradually sensed a superimposed space, existing between existence and non-existence, like what is called a quantum state in scientific terms.

Louis frowned at first, but did not immediately try to penetrate the senses. Instead, he withdrew his attention and began to think.

I never expected that after our strengths changed, this mirror would reveal such a thing.

The space inside is quite peculiar.

Between existence and non-existence.

He can only roughly tear space apart now; he can't do such delicate work. There's probably something going on inside.

and so.

The problem is coming.

Do you want to continue?
Louis did not hesitate and decisively continued.

Ascending to godhood is to protect the Way, so that one can act boldly and confidently. Now that you have this strength, if you continue to be cowardly, then your ascension to godhood has been in vain!
We should at least investigate this carefully.

Thinking of this.

Louis probed his mind again.

Soon, Qingcheshu and the others once again passed through that strange membrane and saw that space.

it's here.

Louis sensed a corpse.

A...huge corpse!

The corpse was that of an elderly man, dressed in ancient clothing, with a handsome appearance, a beard that reached past his chest, and fair and smooth skin. He looked lifelike, as if he were still alive!

Louis could not sense the other person's heartbeat, pulse, or soul fluctuations at all.

Weird, so weird.

Although he couldn't sense the other person's life, Louis could instinctively sense the danger they posed. Even though he had ascended to godhood, they could still pose a slight threat to him.

If the other party is alive, I don't know what they are.

Louis squinted at the ancient costume, and instead of using divine power, he unleashed a rainbow of magical energy to strike out.

hum! !

The moment the magic touched the corpse, it was as if the magic had vanished into thin air, completely absorbed into the corpse.

next second.

The corpse opened its eyes.

A gray divine power enveloped his body, and intense destructive waves began to ripple through the space, causing it to tremble.

But the body did not move.

Instead, a projection appeared from the eyes, like a documentary, playing a segment of a record intermittently.

A record of a wanderer's inability to return home.

The corpse was named Shu, the same Shu as millet, and came from a place that the traveling merchants called the Land of Giants, but they actually called themselves the Land of Dragon Mountain, and were descendants of the ancient Dragon Giants.

Their lifespan is about two hundred years, their gestation period is thirty-six years, they are born with white hair, and they can walk immediately after birth.

They eat millet, and the millet they cultivate can grow to a height of six meters or at least three meters.

They were all tall and strong, with an average height of twelve meters, women about nine meters, men about thirteen meters, and the tallest being fifteen meters.

In a very ancient and barbaric era, the land was filled with strange races and animals, all of which possessed various strange powers. No one knew anything about cultivation; they were born with whatever power they had.

The people of Longshan Kingdom, also known as the people of Daren Kingdom, were a race that was neither the best nor the worst at that time. They could not compare to gods and various mythical beasts and ferocious beasts, but compared to most living beings, the people of Longshan Kingdom, who were tall, strong, and had strong skin defense, were simply too powerful.

Sending out any adult male is enough to destroy a pack of ferocious beasts.

It can be said that the people of Longshan were born strong.

But Shu was an exception. He was born underdeveloped, as if he had devoted more of his nutrients to his brain. He was only three meters tall, the same height as the shortest millet, so he was named Shu.

Because of his height, he suffered a lot of setbacks in China. Although everyone was kind and honest and wouldn't bully him, and would even share their prey with him, he had no status and couldn't even pursue the girl he loved.

He was unwilling to accept his fate; he wanted to grow taller and stronger, and he wanted to become king. So he left the Kingdom of Longshan and went to the vast and boundless land.

At this point, the memory became somewhat fragmented, passing by in fits and starts.

This simply means that after wandering for decades and seeing many things, Shu's thoughts are no longer as urgent as before, but growing taller and stronger and getting married are still what he wants to do most.

Unfortunately, although we have witnessed many strange things over the decades, such as the Bifang bird that can fly with only one leg and brings strange fire; the Three-Body Kingdom whose people have one head and three bodies; and the Zhuyu that resembles chives, is green and easy to digest, and can keep you full for a long time...

He had never seen anything that could grow taller and stronger.

Just as he was feeling disheartened and ready to go back, he suddenly fell into a dark, bottomless pit. When he reappeared, he was in a continuous snow-capped mountain range.

He walked for a long time, but found that this place was different from the previous place. There were not many of the strange creatures he had seen before. Instead, there were some animals that were much shorter and weaker. Oh right, there were also some people who looked a lot like him, but were smaller than him.

It was only then that he realized something.

Yes, he got lost.

I can't go home.

No matter how hard he searched in that snowy mountain, he couldn't find any trace of the black hole.

Later, he gradually became desperate, disappointed, and calm. With nothing on his mind, he simply went out to see the people and life here, so that at least it wouldn't be so boring.

Then, the pace accelerated once again.

He met the king and the peaceful and friendly people there. They were simple and kind, much like the people of Longshan Kingdom. Before he knew it, he joined them and became a famous warrior.

Finally, he also participated in the First Men's War, helping the king defeat another ferocious group of people.

He became a hero, he started a family, had children, and gradually settled down, no longer thinking about the past.

then……

One day he met his king and ascended to heaven on a dragon!
Why? What is this?
He frantically inquired and finally learned about the existence of immortal cultivators. They possessed all sorts of incredible powers, and more importantly, unlike anything he had seen before, these powers could be acquired later in life.

In other words, he might be able to study, and then... go home!
He then learned that all the immortals were in famous mountains and rivers.

He chose to abandon his wife and children to seek out immortals and pursue the Dao.

A century has passed in the blink of an eye, and times have changed.

He finally achieved something small.

Unfortunately, the path to immortality was ultimately blocked for him; the bloodline of Longbo was not accepted by immortals.

More than 500 years later, he died with regret and resentment.

Before his death, he returned to his home, where his descendants still lived. He died and was buried there.

The projection paused briefly here, then continued playing.

It is unknown how much time passed before his body fell into the sea due to the earthquake and drifted with the tide. After an unknown amount of time, his body was retrieved, and a figure dressed in a black robe who looked like a king seemed to mistake him for an immortal.

However, another group of people who seemed to be cultivating immortality denied this, believing that he was a demon. Based on their belief, the king chose to hide the evil in a cave, ordered many convicts to dig out a barren mountain, buried him inside, and even cast a bronze beast to suppress him.

Not only that, he also took a mirror with some strange powers and inlaid it on the forehead of the bronze beast.

At this point, even his last remaining senses became hazy and he was plunged into darkness.

I don’t know how much time passed.

There was a strange movement within the earth's veins. For some unknown reason, five dragons connected to the nation's destiny appeared and began attacking the bronze beast. In this battle, his remaining consciousness completely dissipated.

The remaining corpses were also absorbed into the mirror during the battle.

The space within the mirror was formed by the mirror and other objects instinctively absorbing the power from his corpse in order to protect themselves.

He cultivated immortality during his lifetime. Although he was unable to become an immortal due to his bloodline, he eventually achieved something. He even developed a kind of immortal technique, or rather a semi-immortal technique or pseudo-immortal technique, because of his Longbo bloodline and his intelligence.

Without a name, it is a ray of light.

It can forcibly disintegrate objects, or inject light into the space between existence and non-existence.

This space was created using this power.

The mirror was thus not damaged, but preserved and has been passed down to this day.

Looking at these images.

Louis was momentarily stunned; the amount of information was truly overwhelming, leaving him somewhat unable to process it.
