Zuo Dao Becomes a God Starting from American Horror

Chapter 366 Establishing the Altar and the Dao!
As Louis felt the divine body and divine personality eroding and transforming the life force of the divine power smoothly, he gently pointed at the clown doll box that had been thrown aside.

boom!
The wooden doll box shattered and vanished.

The clown demon, which had been imprisoned for a long time, was revealed. It was squatting on the ground, its body was grayish-white, its claws were thick, and its face was both crying and laughing, giving it an eerie feel.

It seems somewhat unexpected that this is happening in reality now.

It moved sluggishly, sensing the seal that no longer existed.

A happy smile finally appeared on its face, but the next second its expression changed, and the demonic consciousness began to take over.

ka ka ka-

His neck kept cracking.

The clown actor, Jack, gritted his teeth and resisted, his two claws even clashing together, and a trickle of blood oozed out.

In front of them.

Louis stroked his chin.

Admiring the seemingly clown-like demon before him—no, to be precise, the one who had persisted for over a hundred years and was still fighting with demons for his body even now!
"Jack, not bad, you have a strong will."

Louis clapped softly.

!!!

The clown demon twisted its neck sharply and looked at Louis.

Then it twisted violently again.

click!
He turned back, a look of fear on his face, and ran to one side using both hands and feet, looking anxious and disheveled, as if he were running for his life.

"Little thing, you're quite perceptive."

With the sound, Louis appeared before it.

"Awooo!!" With a terrified, inhuman howl, the clown demon fled in another direction.

But it doesn't matter where it goes.

Louis looked at it with a mocking gaze.

It had nowhere to escape.

With a streak of gray light, the Clown Demon was split in two.

Then, an unseen giant hand, like a creator, kneaded and transformed it at will.

At this moment, Jack's consciousness stared blankly at Louis's majestic, blurry figure, his vision gradually darkening.

Slowly, it drifted into a deep sleep.

in a dream.

He felt a long-lost sense of ease; he no longer had to fight demons, no longer had to struggle for his body, no longer had to worry about hurting others, no longer had to be awake for long periods without sleep...

He also dreamt of a deity, a great and merciful deity, who used great power to separate him from the demon, creating a body of his own, allowing him to return to normalcy and experience sleep, food, peace, and happiness...

If only all of this were true.
Jack thought greedily.

He longed for all of this to last forever, so that he would no longer have to confront that evil consciousness.

Unfortunately, everything eventually comes to an end.

The dream began to crumble.

Jack sighed, "Thank you, merciful god. I hope that after I die I will return to your kingdom."

Jack took one last look at the pure white dreamscape, his eyes resolute, ready to move on to the next battle, the eternal struggle against the demon.

Perhaps his consciousness will be completely annihilated in the process, but even so, he will never make peace with evil demons!

next moment.

My consciousness wavered for a moment.

Slowly opening my eyes, the white light was blinding.

The first thing I saw was an unfamiliar ceiling.

ceiling?
Wait, why can't I sense that guy's consciousness?
Jack sat up abruptly, looking around warily. He found himself in a clean room with a warm fireplace that made him feel cozy.

This warmth captivated Jack; it was a feeling he hadn't experienced in his century-long struggle.

He instinctively wanted to get closer, but by the time he came to his senses, he was already standing in front of the fireplace, his palm resting against the fire, the flickering flames dancing in his hand.

and many more!

palm?

He stared intently at his hand, which had five distinct fingers instead of claws.

Tears streamed freely down her cheeks.

Not a dream!
It really isn't a dream!
Everything is true!
A god really did save me!

Snapped!
Jack knelt down and offered sincere thanks to the unknown deity.

……

New Orlando.

Louis, dressed in gray, stood on a uniquely shaped platform, glancing sideways at a room with a slight smile.

Then let’s turn our attention back to the present.

a few days ago.

He separated the clown demon and Jack, obtaining a meager portion of the power of the sun—Twilight. With that, aside from the artifacts and the simple altar, he had disposed of most of the treasures he had accumulated.

The next step, naturally, is to establish the altar and set forth the doctrine.

The reason why I did not establish an altar and establish a Dao before was firstly because I was not strong enough and had not reached the Yuan Shen realm, and secondly because I had not found the final leader of the Beggar Sect. The Dao lineage of Thousand Thieves and Beggars had not been fully gathered, and the Daoist method was not mature.

Now, he has already ascended to godhood, having reached the primordial spirit level ahead of schedule through a different path, and has sufficient strength;
The Cano Corporation, which controls the entire state of Florida and is poised to spread across America, is involved in various illegal activities including gambling, theft, prostitution, and even the Zhaoming Shrine, which controls the mystical aspects of Southeast Asia. The Apocalypse Church is also rising in prominence in America.

The patrons exist in all aspects, from the secular world to the mystical realm, so the issue of resources needed for the development of the Taoist tradition no longer exists.

Regarding the training grounds, there is the Spirit Realm of the Mountain, as well as the opening altar method activated by the Civil Code when I previously advanced to the Yang God Realm.

If all requirements are met in advance, there will naturally be no problem.

Now, let's take a look at the place where the altar was established and the doctrine was founded.

Looking at the uniquely shaped platform that had been built during the reconstruction of Orlando, Louis tapped his finger, and circles of pale gray ripples, invisible to ordinary people, spread out in all directions.

It enveloped the entire city of Orlando.

Since being destroyed by an earthquake during its ascension to God years ago, Orlando has been in a state of reconstruction, and it has not yet been fully rebuilt.

Of course, thanks to the involvement and full assistance of the Cano family, the new Orlando is now very different from what it used to be.

The overall area has expanded by one to two times, and various public facilities are much more organized and complete than before. A large number of low-rent houses have also been built for the poor to live in.

Of course, the twice-weekly blood donation centers, a feature unique to America, are also a must-try. Naturally, the price offered by the Cano Corporation is higher than that of other unscrupulous capitalists.

Furthermore, compared to the previous official U.S. government, the city of Orlando, under the Cano Corporation, offers more comprehensive social welfare benefits, although the requirement to take on various loans might be a bit inconvenient...

With this, Orlando was finally under the complete control of the Cano Group, encompassing everything from healthcare, food, water, housing, work, and transportation.

It's like the Wayne family in DC Comics' Gotham City, controlling the city in every way. From birth to death, the Cano Corporation is an indispensable necessity.

This is truly too big to fail!
Under this control, Orlando has actually attracted many residents to move in, and its population has increased rather than decreased compared to before the disaster.

Looking at the city, which was mostly completed and bustling with people, Louis nodded slightly in satisfaction. How could it be suitable as the future birthplace of the Daoist tradition if it wasn't prosperous and peaceful?

The city of the Son of Heaven, the land of the most virtuous!
Moreover, the larger the population, the easier it would be for him to construct a formation that borrows people's faith. This formation would also be suitable for protecting the dojo, selecting disciples, and spreading ideas. Therefore, the newly built city and the dojo complemented each other.

In fact, the city is almost finished with its construction. As for directly building an altar and establishing a road, we need to see when the altar will be completed.

The altar beneath our feet is also nearing completion.

Since ancient times, when communicating with the heavens, gods, and patriarchs, Taoism and many folk religions have invariably established altars to perform rituals and gain an advantage.

The reason for this is that the altar is the core place for Taoism to perform sacrifices, exorcise evil spirits, cultivate oneself, and pray for blessings by imitating the operation of heaven and earth. It is similar to a ritual and can be integrated into the process by simulating the operation of heaven and earth in order to achieve the above effects.

In a sense, the altar is also a special ritual implement that simulates the operation of heaven and earth.

Since its inception, it has been used flexibly by practitioners, resulting in a wide variety of types.

Today, they can be roughly divided into three categories.

One type is the original altar, which is the most authentic and can suppress the flow of fortune.

One type is the functional altar, which has extremely high limits and can be carried around and set up at any time, and is close to a magic method.

One type is the altar of non-Buddhist sects, which is an irregular altar built by private individuals, and its upper and lower limits are also very exaggerated.

Louis's altar belongs to one of the original altars, and is called the Taixu Jade Palace Enlightenment Altar.

From enhancing cultivation and comprehending the rules of heaven and earth to infecting living beings and transmitting and selecting them, in addition, there are abilities such as driving away gods and binding ghosts, praying for blessings and eliminating disasters, and being immune to all evil. It can be said to be righteous and righteous, with endless effects.

Its complexity is unimaginable; even with Louis's current level of cultivation, it is quite difficult, and he can only perfectly depict it with the help of divine power.

The gray divine power trembled slightly, and the rock platform beneath their feet began to change rapidly.

Orthodox altars are constructed based on the principle of "following the laws of heaven and earth," and are usually divided into three layers: upper, middle, and lower, which implicitly correspond to the principles of heaven, earth, and humanity.

The upper level, the Heavenly Law, is a circular platform representing the Way of Heaven.

The middle layer, resembling a human figure, is an octagonal platform, representing humanity.

The lower level resembles the earth, and is a square platform representing a tunnel.

From top to bottom, the layers grow larger, resembling a pyramid. The building materials are also quite interesting: the round ones are made of pure white jade (created by Louis with divine power), the eight sides are made of five colors, which are made of a mixture of various soils such as yellow soil and volcanic red soil, and the largest square at the bottom is pure black and is constructed of obsidian.

White, multicolored, and black—these colors combine to create the wondrous hues of this altar.

Louis sat cross-legged on the high platform, not in a hurry to start opening the altar, but began to calm his mind, looking down at the masses below with a calm expression.

When thoughts begin to wander, without consciously trying to control them, they are simply allowed to circulate freely.

Thinking it over carefully, I've been reincarnated into this world for over twenty years. After more than a decade, I've finally reached the point of establishing my own path and can be considered to have completed the task I started when I began the transmission of the Civil Code.
I just don't know if this counts as whitewashing, or if it meets the requirements of the Divine Lord Ancestor...

Hmm, probably, maybe, roughly, that's correct?

Thinking of the branch of the religious tradition he established using the divine way of this world—the Church of Apocalypse, and the Zhaoming Shrine, which is called "Zhaoming God-King" but contains a great deal of black magic.

Louis suddenly felt a little guilty.

This doesn't seem like the right way...

That’s all.

After the path is established, it can be slightly modified. A few minor flaws are unlikely to be too much of a problem in this special world where extraordinary enemies appear all the time.

By the way, after establishing one's Dao, one will set off towards the goal of becoming an immortal. So, if one becomes an immortal, will it be possible to leave this world?

Furthermore, when this path was established, would the Divine Lord have noticed this place? And what should this lineage be called?
I don't want to think about these things, they're a bit annoying.

Don't push yourself too hard. Cultivating while enjoying life is also a great path. Hmm, I'm definitely not trying to be lazy... After establishing my path, I'll build a secluded retreat on the moon. Maybe I can bring Emma and the others there to study the Great Dao together...

And then there's global cuisine... Should we have the believers offer new and exotic foods from time to time? That way, they could enjoy a constant stream of delicious treats without leaving home. Hmm, isn't that a bit cheesy?

I wonder how my original hometown is doing now. Will I be able to go back there to see it after I become an immortal? Although I have no ties to it, I just want to take a look.

What were my hobbies in my past life? Novels? Fishing? Taking walks? What else? I've kind of forgotten...

A gentle breeze blows, and the warm sun shines obliquely.

Looking at the sun, Louis was lost in thought.

Before you know it, your anxiety disappears, and your mind is in a state of extreme relaxation, naturally blending with the surroundings. Even though you are sitting there, it feels as if you might not exist at any moment.

When Louis fell into this strange state.

Strange activity began to occur at the altar.

This "Tai Xu Yu Que Qi Zhen Tan" is extremely large in scale, so even the smallest circular platform at the top is as vast as a football field.

The table was not empty; instead, a mahogany altar covered with a yellow cloth was placed in front of Louis.

An incense burner sits on the rosewood altar, wisps of smoke rising gently, releasing a pleasant and refreshing fragrance.

Lanterns and fruits were also readily available. Around the altar, banners and pennants were hung, with the top of the banners painted with the sun, moon, stars, clouds and images of the Heavenly Venerable, the belly of the banners inscribed with the names of the Nine Heavenly Emperors, the bottom of the banners decorated with dragon and phoenix patterns, and the pendants painted with mountains and rivers.

A gentle breeze blew, making the banners flutter and the patterns seem to dance as if they were alive.

It looks majestic and imposing, exuding an inexplicable sense of holiness.

At this moment, the mahogany altar seemed to resonate with Louis's state of mind, trembling slightly, and the smoke from the incense burner began to rise straight into the sky without bending in the slightest.

Louis also regained consciousness at this moment, looked at the blue smoke rising straight into the sky, paused for a moment, and then chuckled.

He subtly calculated with his hands.

Look up and observe the celestial phenomena.

"Venus is in motion, Mars is in conjunction with Antares, the orthodox and the unorthodox are in harmony, the time has come, it is an auspicious day."

"Heaven, earth, and humanity—everything is complete! Hahaha!"

"The day is the day to establish this altar and uphold this doctrine!"

Done.

Clap your hands together.

Magical power surged.

The platform beneath our feet began to tremble slightly.

"A respectful message to Heaven and Earth."

"We respectfully invite the Ancestral Master, the Kitchen God, and all the holy deities to bear witness."

"Now, by the decree of the patriarch, I have established this Dharma altar to establish the teachings and spread the light. This is not for personal gain, but to protect the Way of Heaven and to widely save all sentient beings."

"The beings in this world are in a state of chaotic intelligence, the gods of the world are absent, demons in hell run rampant, disasters are rampant on the earth, and evil atmosphere is everywhere. The beings are in danger of not being able to survive even if they live one day, and heaven and earth are also in danger of being overthrown."

"In order to protect the way of Heaven and save all living beings, this altar should be opened to help the world, save people, and eliminate disasters and difficulties."

"May this altar, once established, illuminate the way of Heaven, unite the disciples in heart, protect the Great Way, and repay the fourfold kindness (Heaven and Earth, parents, ancestral masters, and all living beings)."

"willing."

"The altar is stable, and the Daoist path flourishes."

"willing."

"May all beings be free from suffering and attain happiness, and may the world be at peace."

"Open the altar!"

"Establish a path!"
