696: Divide the opportunity, beep to warn

“I knew there must be a Legacy in that Heavenly Palace that day.”

Lieutenant Colonel Liu Qiang muttered to himself as he looked at Yang Dian’s retreating figure:

“I knew that with the abnormal degree of the military formation, as long as he came here, he would definitely be able to obtain the Legacy.”

Li Chao glanced at Lieutenant Colonel Liu Qiang:

“The Legacy you’re talking about is just the Legacy of the Dao Sound.”

“It didn’t say that people could enter that Heavenly Palace.”

“You’re talking nonsense.” Lieutenant Colonel Liu Qiang said righteously:

“It’s you who didn’t understand what I meant.”

“Tsk~” After a scoff, Li Chao shifted his gaze from Lieutenant Colonel Liu Qiang and also looked at Yang Dian, who was flying:

“So many people tried to truly enter the Heavenly Palace, but the Heavenly Palace was a mirage, like a dream bubble, visible but unattainable.”

“Although there was a saying before, ‘Those with Opportunity can enter the Heavenly Palace,’ do you even believe that saying yourself?”

“If not for…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Li Chao’s pupils suddenly constricted:

“No!!!”

Before the words even fell, Yang Dian, who had already flown to the gate of the Heavenly Palace, had stopped.

As his consciousness just recovered from the vast Dao Sound, Yang Dian was covered in a face full of golden flowers.

Perceiving that the golden flowers, upon contact with his body, transformed into an ethereal Qi flow and merged into his body—a part entering to improve his Aptitude, and another part entering the energy pool where his Soul resided—he instinctively spread out his Qi and blood, wanting to gather the golden flowers.

The golden flowers were effective, but it depended on the person.

For ordinary people, the golden flowers’ effect of improving Cultivation Aptitude was enough to make them undergo a complete transformation.

But for Yang Dian, the effect was minimal.

Even if all the golden flowers were used on him, it might not even increase his Aptitude by one ten-thousandth.

So, such Heaven And Earth Treasure would be better used by others.

However, what he didn’t expect was that these golden flowers, upon being touched by his Qi and blood, directly melted into his Qi and blood.

Feeling the negligible increase in the total amount and purity of his Qi and blood, Yang Dian couldn't help but curl his lips.

“It’s tasteless to eat, but a pity to discard.”

In his thoughts, Yang Dian’s Divine Soul swept across the heaven and earth.

Then, a human wall suddenly blocked Yang Dian’s path.

With a flick of his hand, Qi and blood surged through the tightly sealed gaps of the parts into the mech’s joints, then slightly expanded, shattering the mechs on their bodies into a pile of parts.

With a slight adjustment, the human wall in front of Yang Dian, which originally had some gaps, became person-to-person, even more tightly sealed.

Li Chao and Lieutenant Colonel Liu Qiang were originally still chatting, with Lieutenant Colonel Liu Qiang even wondering why Li Chao would suddenly shout “no.”

But in an instant, space and time changed, and they went from the edge of the pond to the sky, directly facing the Heavenly Palace.

“Ah?” Just as he opened his mouth in a daze, Lieutenant Colonel Liu Qiang saw a shower of golden flowers flying out from the Heavenly Palace, directly falling deep into his throat.

“Cough cough~” He instinctively coughed twice, then felt a warmth rising from his throat, and a sense of comfort surged through his entire body.

In his bewilderment, he heard Yang Dian’s voice coming from behind him:

“Golden flowers have the effect of improving Aptitude, enhancing Origin, and increasing martial Dao Cultivation.”

“Allowing the golden flowers to scatter across the sky without control would waste 99.9% of them, as they would fall onto the ground or into the lake.”

“This time, it’s your Opportunity.”

As soon as Yang Dian finished speaking, Lieutenant Colonel Liu Qiang felt countless golden flowers hitting him.

However, before he could fully enjoy the comfortable feeling of the golden flowers hitting him, time and space changed again.

The golden palace towers visible through the gate were gone, replaced only by a clear blue pond.

“Uh, was I dreaming?”

“If it was a dream, I’d like to dream a little longer.”

Hearing his former good brother, now brother-in-law, mumble, Li Chao subconsciously looked up, reached out, and clenched his fist.

Feeling the surging Qi and blood within his body, and looking at the human wall blocking the main entrance of the Heavenly Palace, perfectly collecting the golden flowers without wasting a single bit, he couldn't help but let out a long breath.

“What dreaming.”

“Today, we truly benefited from General Yang’s great Opportunity!”

Lieutenant Colonel Liu Qiang, who had recovered, also looked up at the sky and said after swallowing:

“It’s a pity, the time was just too short.”

“How long did it last?”

“It seemed like only three seconds…”

Li Chao glanced at Lieutenant Colonel Liu Qiang:

“The weak cannot be over-nourished; too much is as bad as too little.”

“If your strength isn’t enough, even rare treasure like heaven and earth treasures can kill you.”

Feeling his body, which had almost reached its limit in just three short seconds and could no longer bear more, a trace of annoyance appeared in Lieutenant Colonel Liu Qiang’s eyes.

This was a sigh over his own insufficient strength.

“If only I were stronger, I could have gotten more golden flowers.”

As soon as he finished speaking, another envious voice rang out beside him:

“Having some is already good.”

As the mirage underwent a change, Yang Dian grabbed people and seized resources without prior notice, so the guarding army nearby naturally wouldn’t remain indifferent.

Groups of mechs ascended from a nearby camp, and the leading mech landed in front of Lieutenant Colonel Liu Qiang and spoke:

“You at least went up and claimed some resources; I’ve been longing for them.”

“I wonder what General Yang’s criteria for selecting people are.”

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure suddenly vanished from beside Lieutenant Colonel Liu Qiang, appearing high in the sky.

As the mech disintegrated, a golden flower fell into his glabella, and excitement immediately appeared in that person’s eyes.

“Yes, yes, this is the feeling…”

Glancing at the excited human wall in front of him, Yang Dian raised an eyebrow and said:

“Calm your mind and try your best to circulate your martial Dao Cultivation Technique to absorb and digest the energy transformed from the golden flowers.”

“Opportunity is rare; every second you can hold on is a second gained.”

Long Xiao was about to circulate his Cultivation Technique to digest the energy when he heard this, but then he remembered his previous expectation of being chosen by Yang Dian and stopped his actions.

‘Forget it.’

‘I was waiting for the people above to ‘eat their fill’ so it would be my turn, and I imagine the brothers who haven’t ‘eaten’ golden flowers yet are thinking the same now.’

‘General Yang is willing to share the Opportunity with me, so how can I be ungrateful and crave more Opportunity?’

‘It’s truly good when everyone is good.’

Yang Dian looked at Long Xiao with some surprise.

Thoughts, formed from fragments of spirit, dissipate into the air with a person’s thoughts.

The Buddhist mind-reading ability is a method of reading thoughts.

Someone as powerful as Yang Dian could naturally capture these fragmented thoughts and analyze the information within them.

Coincidentally, he happened to encounter Long Xiao’s thoughts and heard his ‘inner voice.’

‘Although everyone has lit the Spark, lighting the Spark only means being willing to work together for the strength of Huaxia; it doesn’t mean there are no selfish desires.’

‘People who think things like ‘only when I am strong can I better build Huaxia’ are everywhere.’

‘I didn’t expect to meet a ‘Saint’ here today.’

Amidst his internal emotion, Yang Dian’s thoughts stirred slightly, and a trace of pure Qi and blood flowed into Long Xiao’s body, beginning to help him refine the golden flower energy to enhance his strength and improve his Aptitude.

He liked to help people who were willing to consider others.

After casually helping Long Xiao, Yang Dian lowered his head again, looking at his ankle.

A tentacle emitting a seven-colored glow was tightly wrapped around his ankle.

It was this tentacle that prevented him from entering the Heavenly Palace.

“You’re saying there’s danger inside the Heavenly Palace?…”
