Three-Grade Lotus Mark

The effects of the first time were still unclear. The second time was when I awakened my Martial Soul—I drew over the data stars of the Soldiers, Defense Towers, and Revival Spring from Honor of Kings and fused them with myself to form a new Martial Soul. Zhou Liang stroked his chin as he thought.

The third time was after obtaining my First Soul Ring. I could summon large numbers of Soldiers, so I immediately gained highly suitable abilities and formations. The fourth time was the Red-Blue Buff power. Because the Ice-and-Fire Power merged into my body, I obtained it. The fifth time was this one. I had only just begun to figure it out when I immediately gained techniques like the Hard-and-Soft Qi.

Zhou Liang muttered to himself as he pondered carefully.

As long as I need something or it suits me, the corresponding stars within the Golden Finger Space can fuse with me as long as there is a medium. That should be the pattern, right?

Zhou Liang said uncertainly.

After all, this was only his speculation. The medium for awakening his Martial Soul had fused the three types of data from Honor of Kings, while the First Soul Ring allowed him to summon Soldiers, granting him military formation-related divine abilities and arrays.

The fusion of the Ice-and-Fire Power had immediately drawn in the Red-Blue Buff power. Together with this time, he could basically confirm the rules of the Golden Finger Space. There might be some discrepancies, but they should not be significant.

If that is the case, I can guide it according to my needs. As long as this Golden Finger Space contains the ability I want, there is a high chance that I can obtain it. Zhou Liang smiled as he continued thinking.

"Haha! As expected of a Golden Finger that even space wants to obtain!"

After laughing, Zhou Liang sat cross-legged and began trying to cultivate Myriad Laws Spirit Transmutation.

Myriad Laws Spirit Transmutation was extremely peculiar. It was a technique that cultivated spirituality and bestowed it upon magical power.

It could grant spirituality and life to lifeless magical power, turning it into something alive.

After all, its inspiration came from the spirit-transmutation found in myths, as well as descriptions of various mythological figures.

"Towering flames turned into a long serpent coiled around the waist, vivid and lifelike like a real snake, except it was made of fire."

"With a casual wave of the hand, a broken mountain peak transformed into a giant turtle under a mysterious power. It crawled forward bit by bit. When it reached the broken mountain, it slowly lay down and withdrew its limbs. The mountain returned to its original state, without the slightest trace of its fracture!"

These various descriptions from myths gave Zhou Liang inspiration. Combined with the activation arts of Western alchemy—activating puppets, enchanted ropes, and other spells—

he designed this technique, this unusual cultivation method centered on spirituality. Its result was spirit-transmutation.

However, aside from transforming flowers, grass, and trees, its primary ability was to transform one's own power.

Zhou Liang slowly closed his eyes and sensed his own spirituality. In an instant, a peculiar feeling flooded his heart.

He immediately entered the beginner stage of cultivation. Within his inner vision, a vague mark began to appear on the forehead of his soul.

The mark gradually became clearer, finally turning into a Three-Petaled Lotus Mark. This was Zhou Liang's Spirituality Mark.

As the Three-Petaled Lotus Mark appeared, Zhou Liang's perception immediately became different.

Everything around him was clearly reflected in his mind, even with his eyes closed.

Besides his clear awareness of his surroundings, he could also sense invisible things: the faint spirituality contained in the soil. Though thin, it spread throughout the earth, and the deeper one went underground, the more it began to gather.

This must be why the depths of the earth can nurture so many demons and monsters. Buried bones, combined with this spirituality, can give rise to any sort of demon or monster over thousands of years! Zhou Liang thought as he sensed the depths of the earth.

Beyond the earth itself, flowers, grass, and trees also possessed much spirituality. If he gathered that spirituality and bestowed Zhou Liang's Three-Petaled Lotus Mark upon them, he could transform their spirituality and grant them intelligence.

Of course, only flowers, grass, and trees with relatively abundant spirituality could do so, such as ancient trees hundreds or thousands of years old, or powerful exotic flowers and fruits.

After all, Zhou Liang had only just begun cultivating this technique and did not yet have the ability to gather other spirituality and bestow it upon others.

Moreover, granting this Lotus Mark brought great benefits to Zhou Liang as well.

He possessed the most fundamental authority of control over those he transformed. At the same time, the growth of their spirituality could also benefit him.

And every fundamental transformation they underwent would grant Zhou Liang certain benefits.

Thus, spirit-transmutation was actually a form of cultivation. Unfortunately, Zhou Liang could not yet accomplish it. He had only just cultivated the mark and had no ability to manifest a Three-Petaled Lotus Mark projection.

Without being able to manifest the Three-Petaled Lotus Mark projection, he could not use spirit-transmutation power. He could only use some Activation Power and Origin Spirit-Transmutation Marks.

The Origin Mark was the most peculiar aspect of this technique. Its targets were not flowers, grass, or trees, but one's own techniques, spells, divine abilities, and special powers.

It would humanize them, granting them intelligence and turning them into spiritual entities completely subordinate to and obedient to him. This allowed Zhou Liang to devote more time to cultivating Soul Power while they cultivated themselves.

My mark is a lotus. It currently has three petals and three Origin Marks. Each time another petal blooms, there will be one more Origin Mark. Six-grade petals and nine-grade petals will bring minor changes, while twelve-grade petals will bring a major change.

Zhou Liang sensed the information contained within his Lotus Mark and gradually smiled.

A Spirituality Mark with multiple transformations was one of the marks Zhou Liang had designed with relatively great potential and a relatively high grade.

However, the mark formed through his own cultivation was unlike any of the many marks Zhou Liang had designed.

After all, it was generated according to himself. Every one was unique. Still, a Spirituality Mark with so many transformations and up to twelve Origin Marks—

was only weaker than a handful of absurdly powerful marks among the many marks Zhou Liang had designed. It ranked among the top five.

Upon mastering it, I directly obtained three-grade petals and the first transformation: Spiritual Connection!

Zhou Liang slowly extended his right hand. A mass of Soul Power gathered within it, and as he bestowed Activation Power upon it, the mass of Soul Power gradually took shape.

A pair of wings appeared, turning it into a small bird. Specks of blue also emerged within the transparent Soul Power.

The Little Blue Bird looked at Zhou Liang affectionately, tilting its head and rubbing against his palm. Its entire body rolled over as though it were acting cute.

Zhou Liang extended his other hand and gently stroked its belly with one finger.

It feels like a balloon. Is that because its body is only a mass of Soul Power? Zhou Liang silently thought as he stroked the Little Blue Bird.
