Time flowed onward.
Guided by Bai Gui, Jiang Ye had already located the seventh civilization fireseed.
Just as he finished absorbing it, Bai Gui's voice suddenly echoed in his mind: "Your luck has reached its limit."
"Limit?" Jiang Ye frowned. "Luck has a limit?"
"As I mentioned before, the body itself is a vessel for luck," Bai Gui explained. "And like any vessel, it has a maximum capacity."
"I see," Jiang Ye nodded in understanding.
But then he frowned again. "So quickly? I've already reached the limit?"
Luck, like martial dao cultivation, was something that naturally benefited from being as high as possible.
"Don't be disappointed," Bai Gui said. "The amount of luck you've absorbed recently is already astonishingly high. You simply haven't realized it."
"Astonishingly high?" Jiang Ye was secretly shocked. He hadn't felt any noticeable change.
"Your current luck has reached the maximum capacity of your Dao Bone Aptitude," Bai Gui continued. "In fact, it's even subtly exceeding the boundaries of what a dao bone should be able to contain."
Jiang Ye was taken aback.
The limit of Dao Bone Aptitude?
Why are we talking about innate aptitude all of a sudden?
"Are you saying," Jiang Ye asked curiously, "that the upper limit of luck is related to innate aptitude?"
"Exactly," Bai Gui replied.
"The higher your innate aptitude, the more luck you can absorb," Bai Gui explained. "As your martial dao realm advances, your luck's upper limit will also increase accordingly."
"I see," Jiang Ye finally understood.
No wonder this world placed such immense value on innate aptitude.
Innate aptitude not only determined one's martial dao potential but also dictated the extent of their luck!
The importance of luck was undeniable, something even third-tier civilizations highly valued.
And since innate aptitude was directly linked to luck, its significance was even more self-evident.
"Transcendent Aptitude can bring prosperity to an entire family," Jiang Ye mused.
"So that's why," he thought to himself.
At this realization, Jiang Ye felt a pang of regret.
Too bad I still only have Dao Bone Aptitude, he lamented inwardly. If I had already achieved Transcendent Aptitude, my luck's upper limit would be even higher.
"Don't be so dissatisfied," Bai Gui said, sensing his thoughts.
Bai Gui sensed his mood and shook her head with a smile. "Actually, your current luck is enough to make even a ninth breakthrough expert envious."
"What?"
"Ninth breakthrough? Envious of me?" Jiang Ye was astonished.
"Yes."
"Your luck is already astonishing," Bai Gui said. "Some seventh or even eighth breakthrough experts with invincible dao bones probably don't have as much luck as you."
Jiang Ye couldn't help but be shocked.
My luck surpasses that of seventh and eighth breakthrough experts with invincible dao bones?
Is that even possible?
"Most people's luck never reaches its maximum limit."
"Only those destined as Children of Destiny, those with heaven-defying luck, have the potential to reach that limit," Bai Gui said with a smile. "And now, you've already achieved it."
"Look."
"Throughout this journey, you haven't encountered a single enemy," Bai Gui said with a smile. "That alone is proof of your heaven-defying luck."
"That's true," Jiang Ye nodded in agreement.
In the past, he would have faced numerous obstacles along the way.
But this time? He had found seven civilization fireseeds in succession without encountering a single alien race.
"I believe your path forward will become increasingly smooth," Bai Gui said with a smile. "Your luck will smooth out all obstacles for you."
"Hmm," Jiang Ye nodded slightly.
The surge in his luck hadn't brought any immediately noticeable changes.
But if he focused, he could sense a newfound lightness within himself, a profound sense of peace.
It felt as if the road ahead was clear and unobstructed, as if nothing could stand in his way.
"Comfortable," Jiang Ye murmured, relaxing completely. He hadn't felt this serene in ages.
This comfort was different from the satisfaction of a breakthrough; it emanated from the depths of his heart.
A truly unique sensation.
After a moment, Jiang Ye snapped back to attention. "Let's go. The final civilization fireseed awaits." He led Liu Shishi toward their next target.
Although his luck had reached its maximum, he still needed to collect more civilization fireseeds.
To prepare for entering the Divine Temple.
Over ten minutes later, Jiang Ye stood in a mountain valley, claiming the eighth civilization fireseed.
"Junior Brother, how did you find them?" Liu Shishi finally couldn't contain her curiosity.
Throughout their journey, Jiang Ye hadn't hesitated once.
Every time they stopped, it was invariably near a civilization fireseed.
This completely shattered Liu Shishi's understanding of how such things were found.
"Just good luck," Jiang Ye replied with a faint smile. He truly had been fortunate.
Without Bai Gui's guidance, he might not have found even a single civilization fireseed by now. These artifacts weren't treasures; even with Perceptive Insight, their presence remained undetectable.
"You're amazing," Liu Shishi said, her eyes filled with admiration.
At first, she had maintained a reserved demeanor toward Jiang Ye, relying on her status as his senior sister.
But now? Jiang Ye had completely won her over.
Throughout their journey, Jiang Ye's actions had far surpassed her understanding and imagination.
Jiang Ye noticed the girl's expression and couldn't help but feel slightly taken aback.
Does she look like she's about to fall for me? he wondered. Am I really that charming?
"Senior Sister—" Jiang Ye was about to say something when suddenly—
"Hmm?"
Jiang Ye abruptly turned his gaze in a certain direction. "The opportunity has ripened."
No sooner had he spoken than—
Whoosh!
An astonishing surge of spiritual energy erupted.
Deep within the valley, a beam of light shot skyward, carrying a massive spiritual essence that spread out in a majestic wave.
A radiant glow appeared, accompanied by a series of extraordinary phenomena, creating a breathtaking spectacle.
"Fourth-Tier Upper A-Grade!" Liu Shishi exclaimed, turning back in delight.
The very valley they were in contained a Fourth-Tier Upper A-Grade opportunity!
"Is this luck again?" Jiang Ye chuckled.
When fortune favors you, every path becomes smooth and unobstructed.
He felt the truth of this saying more deeply now than ever before.
"Let's go!" Jiang Ye's figure blurred into a streak of Flowing Light as he darted toward the heart of the valley.
Liu Shishi quickly followed.
Deep within the valley:
"What's going on?"
"How did it ripen so soon?!" Bing Hao, who had been guarding the opportunity, stood dumbfounded.
According to the timeline, the opportunity shouldn't have ripened for at least another several minutes.
What was happening?
"Did I miscalculate the time?" Bing Hao quickly checked his smart wristband.
The technology of the Glacier Civilization was incredibly advanced.
As an opportunity neared maturity, its precise timing could be calculated by detecting fluctuations in its spiritual essence.
After a series of calculations, Bing Hao was stunned. "It's correct! It was supposed to mature in forty minutes. How did it suddenly ripen?"
What was going on?
Could the wristband's calculation system be malfunctioning?
At that moment, Bing Hao had no time to ponder further.
"Claim the opportunity!" he shouted, leaping to his feet.
His original plan had been to guard the opportunity until Bing Jiuxuan returned, then seize it together.
But now that the opportunity had matured prematurely, Bing Hao couldn't afford to wait.
Whoosh! Bing Hao shot deeper into the ravine.
But a split second later...
"Hmm?"
"This aura... it's wrong!" Bing Hao's pupils constricted sharply.
He recognized a familiar presence.
"That Blue Star genius?"
"No!" Bing Hao's face paled.
Simultaneously, Jiang Ye and Liu Shishi, who were flying into the ravine, spotted Bing Hao.
