Zhuge Lan spent 1 Fortune Point to check its function.
He discovered that this thing could only be used by one person and required constant wearing to convert energy.
Not cost-effective.
Zhuge Lan tested a few more directions, but the results were unsatisfactory.
He carefully recalled the plot of "Throne of Seal," using his powerful mental power to perform a "word-by-word analysis" on his fuzzy memories.
Finally, he found the solution to break the deadlock—
—
Condition: Create an Awakening Stone used in the Knight Temple to awaken innate internal spiritual power and convert spiritual power into the light attribute!
Cost: 100,000 Fortune Points!
Create? —
Bingo!
The direction was right.
A one-time consumption, permanent conversion, and the price wasn't expensive.
However, to build an entire force, this consumption was still high.
He needed to master the core technology himself.
Zhuge Lan modified the condition to — Create the production formula for the Awakening Stone and replace the materials with those available in the Douluo World!
[Cost: 3,000,000 Fortune Points!]
The price of 30 Awakening Stones in exchange for a formula he could produce himself.
This deal was cost-effective.
But Zhuge Lan didn't spend immediately. Instead, he looked at Electrolux.
"Elder Electrolux, I've solved the energy conversion problem between soul power and spiritual power. We can mass-produce it."
"Right now, we have a presence on the Douluo Continent, but the Sun Moon Continent is still a blank area."
"I plan to send this secret technique clone to the Sun Moon Empire to establish a new force there. We'll train Guardian Knights, Retribution Knights, and Light Mages internally to harvest Fortune Points from over there."
"This means the cultivation inheritance will spread. What do you think?"
Electrolux's first reaction was—
"How many Fortune Points did you spend this time?"
"3 million." Zhuge Lan said with a hint of heartache. "My little treasury is half gone!"
"That's not too bad." Electrolux acknowledged. "The Knight and Mage inheritance can be cultivated without soul rings. For this world, it's no different from Evil Soul Masters, but we cultivate the power of light. This is very interesting."
He was also very curious to see how this force would develop.
One must know...
This world indeed had faith.
Even if the Divine Realm had no vacant deity positions, this power system didn't belong to the Douluo World.
Could they create a divine throne themselves?
"Let's call it the Hall of Light." Electrolux said expectantly. "If we can nurture a God of Light or something similar, your plan will have taken another step forward."
"That is the idea, but the implementation needs further consideration." Zhuge Lan confirmed. "The secret technique clone's teaching shouldn't fall behind, right?"
"Little Yuhao has great talent. Usually, he learns everything I teach him once, and then it's just about mastering it through practical application." Electrolux pondered.
"This old man can create an inheritance ring, storing all the battle techniques and magic I know inside. Little Yuhao can learn one and then pick a new one himself from the ring. Only if he really can't figure it out should he contact my main body through the clone."
Zhuge Lan gave a thumbs up. You are reliable!
With that, he could create with peace of mind.
[-3,000,000 Fortune Points]
A parchment scroll materialized out of thin air.
Electrolux also looked over curiously, wanting to see how this Awakening Stone was made.
During this time, while Huo Yuhao was learning, they had also shared the knowledge through their connection.
They recognized over ninety percent of the materials listed.
Most were rare metals used in making soul tools, but the real trouble was—
The Seed of Ultimate Light!
In other words, a seed condensed by a soul master possessing the Ultimate Light attribute, using a secret technique at the cost of permanently depleting their own soul power.
It was the core of the Awakening Stone, irreplaceable.
If it were anyone else, they would surely be stumped.
Ultimate attributes were inherently rare, and it had to be specifically Ultimate Light. The most outrageous part was the permanent depletion of soul power!
Those who possessed ultimate attributes were all prodigies!
Who would agree to that?
Zhuge Lan declared — Hey! Mu En would agree!
That old man had long since reached the peak of cultivation. The next step would be to reach level 100 and become a god, but without a divine position, he was stuck.
He usually spent his time bored, sleeping.
Now it was perfect.
Condense the Seed of Ultimate Light to lower his soul power, then cultivate back on his own.
Perfect!
What?
Disagree?
Well, Bei Bei also has Ultimate Light, doesn't he?
Can you, old man, stand by and watch your great-grandson be exploited?
If you can't bear it, then step up yourself.
Heh heh heh heh—
"Alright, rein in your laughter." Electrolux looked towards the dim sky. "If we're talking about ascending to godhood through faith... these endless undead might very well become devout believers, no?"
Zhuge Lan let out a soft exclamation.
"You mentioning that reminds me, this Undead Half-Plane itself is a high-quality resource!"
"Let me check how to utilize it."
He opened the [Creation Authority] and started operating it.
"Not possible."
Zhuge Lan said regretfully—
"The undead are not living beings. They can only produce negative emotions, not generate faith power."
"What a pity. I thought I could get a divine throne position for free."
"But with so many undead, it's a real shame not to refine them into a Soul Guiding Banner..."
"Dammit!"
"The refinement method costs 50 million Fortune Points? The finished product is also 25 million!"
Zhuge Lan shook his head regretfully.
He didn't think 50 million was expensive, considering this was the signature life-bound magical tool of demonic cultivators in the cultivation system.
The most classic "overwhelming numbers tactic" only required slaughtering mortals to "achieve qualitative change through quantitative accumulation."
Coupled with this Undead Half-Plane, it would be at least a Super Divine Weapon, or even beyond.
But...
He couldn't afford it.
Zhuge Lan glanced at Electrolux.
Here was a Death Holy Mage God; perhaps he could replicate it?
"Elder Electrolux, let me tell you about something."
"This Soul Guiding Banner... devours and evolves... transforms into a ghost realm, forming its own world..."
Electrolux initially had some ideas, but the more he listened, the more his brows furrowed.
By the time Zhuge Lan finished,
He shook his head without hesitation, stating it was absolutely impossible.
"The quality of mortal souls is extremely low. No matter how many there are, there is a limit. How could it devour and evolve without an upper limit?"
"The stronger the undead, the more the object carrying them must match. How can the undead devouring and strengthening also enhance the object?"
"And then there's forming its own world. My main body does know how to refine small worlds, but those are secondary spaces similar to storage soul tools or this Undead Half-Plane, requiring massive resource investment."
"How could one simply be created by collecting souls?"
"If what you described is real, then the refinement method is definitely not simple and has already surpassed the rules of both the Douluo and Throne of Seal worlds."
"This old man cannot comprehend it, and thus cannot replicate it."
Zhuge Lan sighed regretfully.
"50 million Fortune Points. It was indeed wishful thinking on my part."
"It's a shame about the resources of this Undead Half-Plane. I need to find a way to utilize this waste."
Zhuge Lan continued to ponder.
It was truly uncomfortable to have such a large piece of meat in front of him and not take a bite.
[Altered Huo Yuhao's destiny, +2500 Fortune Points!]
Huh?
"Dong— Dong—"
A melodious bell sound reverberated, followed by Huo Yuhao's excited shouts.
"Brother Lan! Teacher!"
"My Muscle Transformation Manual has reached perfection in the second stage!"
"I can start cultivating the third stage now!"
So that was it.
Zhuge Lan directly created the Muscle Transformation Manual · Third Stage · Blue-Level Pagoda, consuming 150,000 Fortune Points.
Double the cost, 300,000 Fortune Points, very reasonable, right?
Little Yuhao, since you didn't object, I'll take it as you having no opinion.
[-300,000 Fortune Points]
