Chapter 601 A Saint Arrives at the Door
Lin Hanzhou took a deep breath, his brows furrowing tightly.
He secretly made a calculation.
Even with the memories of his past life and the blessing of the Burning Heaven Sacred Body, if he were to rely solely on methodical cultivation and try to forcefully break through to the peak of the Quasi-Emperor under such pressure, it would still take several hundred years.
Fifty years? That's not enough time!
If he hasn't reached the level of a quasi-emperor when the Imperial Pass Great Wall opens and the final battle on the Imperial Road begins, then he won't even be qualified to step onto the arena, let alone compete for that one-in-a-lifetime opportunity to prove himself and become emperor.
Although this imperial power suppresses everyone indiscriminately.
The other geniuses of this era are also being suppressed. They are probably all stuck at a certain level and unable to move. They are all suffering and waiting for the moment when the imperial might completely dissipates. That will be the moment when they truly unleash their potential and begin to sprint and compete fiercely.
Lin Hanzhou paced back and forth in the room, his eyes deeply analyzing the current situation.
He wasn't flustered at all if he were only facing the prodigies of this era.
Everyone is on the same starting line, waiting for the starting gun to fire. Once the imperial aura dissipates, he is absolutely confident that he can use his cheat code and experience to instantly leave everyone behind.
However, what Lin Hanzhou was truly worried about was not these cultivators of his generation!
What he truly feared and worried about were those quasi-emperors who had been self-proclaimed since even earlier times.
Once the 10,000-year period arrives in 50 years, the Imperial Pass Great Wall will be opened.
The divine sources buried deep within the forbidden lands of various ancient clans and the ancestral lands of ancient royal families will shatter one by one.
These ancient, unparalleled geniuses will bring with them the pinnacle of combat power and the most perfected Dao techniques of their era, heading directly to the Imperial Pass Great Wall to vie for the throne!
If someone manages to attain enlightenment during the early stages of the opening of the Imperial Pass, it will be difficult for them to attain enlightenment later.
Although it is extremely difficult to become an emperor, even if these self-proclaimed quasi-emperors have profound foundations, the probability of them becoming emperor is still very small.
But in such a great struggle, even a one in ten thousand chance is a risk that Lin Hanzhou absolutely cannot tolerate!
Moreover, Lin Hanzhou was not worrying unnecessarily.
In Lin Hanzhou's previous life, there really were such self-proclaimed top geniuses who came to prove their Dao.
That terrifying being from the ancient royal Qilin clan, possessing pure ancestral blood!
If Lin Hanzhou hadn't appeared, the emperor who would have attained enlightenment in that lifetime would have been the other party.
Therefore, in order to ensure that he reaches the peak of Quasi-Emperor within fifty years, he certainly cannot take the ordinary path.
He needs to utilize his backstab talent to achieve the fastest possible cultivation advancement.
Lin Hanzhou stroked his chin, his brain racing as he began filtering through the intelligence he had just acquired, looking for suitable targets.
"Thump, thump, thump."
Just as Lin Hanzhou was concentrating on how to perfectly utilize his backstab talent to boost his cultivation, a slow, steady knocking sound suddenly rang out outside the quiet room.
Lin Hanzhou suddenly stopped, his eyes narrowed, and a hint of vigilance and doubt flashed deep in his pupils.
Instead of opening the door immediately, he focused his divine sense into a thin line and quietly peered out through the crack in the door.
Lin Hanzhou's heart skipped a beat at just one glance.
Standing outside the door was a middle-aged man wearing a blue long gown.
He was playing with a folding fan in his hand, his face was refined and his demeanor was composed. He looked like an ordinary scholar who was traveling around the world and going to the capital for the imperial examination.
However, in Lin Hanzhou's keen perception, this seemingly ordinary middle-aged man in blue robes exuded a terrifying aura that was unfathomable and as vast as the ocean.
Although the other party deliberately concealed this aura, the surrounding space was unable to withstand the Daoist charm he unintentionally emitted, resulting in a slight distortion that was barely perceptible to the naked eye.
That is a sign that one has already inscribed one's own Great Dao Laws between heaven and earth, and that every move one makes can attract the power of heaven and earth!
"This is a saint!"
Lin Hanzhou made an accurate judgment in his mind in an instant.
His brow furrowed slightly. Why would a Saint-level expert, powerful enough to rule as an ancestor in a star field, suddenly come knocking on his door?
Could it be because he spent too lavishly when buying information from the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, throwing out hundreds of thousands of top-grade spirit stones at once, and acted too generously, thus attracting the attention of the local strongman on Qingyu Star—the Qingyu Holy Land?
Want to stage a murder and robbery?
"Nice to meet you, young friend. Would you be interested in inviting me in for a chat?"
The middle-aged man in the blue robe outside the door seemed to have noticed Lin Hanzhou's spying. He was not annoyed at all. Instead, he had a faint, gentle smile on his lips. His voice clearly reached Lin Hanzhou's ears through the thick door and the array.
The voice possessed a strange, magical quality that soothed the mind and calmed the nerves.
Lin Hanzhou stood still, his mind racing as he weighed the pros and cons.
Regardless of which faction's saint the person outside the door was, and regardless of whether the other party was after money or wanted to kill, Lin Hanzhou was truly not afraid at all now.
Admittedly, his current cultivation level is only at the sixth level of the Immortal Platform Realm, and there is still a huge gap between him and the Saint Realm of Transcending Mortality.
If he were to fight head-on based solely on raw strength, even if he used all his tricks and revealed all his trump cards, he would absolutely not be able to defeat a true saint.
The saying "Below the sage, all are ants" is far from an empty phrase in the vast universe.
However, the newbie gift pack he left behind in his previous life, in addition to a large amount of cultivation resources, naturally also contained some terrifyingly lethal items that could protect him during his weak period.
With these trump cards in hand, Lin Hanzhou's heart was completely at ease when facing a saint.
With a flick of his long sleeves, the heavy door slowly opened with a soft creak.
"It is an honor to have you here, senior. I am deeply sorry for not greeting you properly. Please come in."
Lin Hanzhou cupped his hands slightly, making a gesture of invitation. His posture was just right, neither overly humble nor arrogant, perfectly befitting the manner of a profound rogue cultivator genius meeting a senior expert.
The middle-aged man in a blue robe outside the door was none other than Gu Changkong, who had traveled across the endless starry sky in a long and arduous search.
Gu Changkong looked at the handsome young man in white before him, a barely perceptible glint of amazement flashing in his eyes.
With his keen eye as a Saint, he could naturally see through Lin Hanzhou's disguise using a concealment technique at a glance.
Although he couldn't see through Lin Hanzhou's true nature, he could clearly sense that a primordial beast, ready to devour the world, was lurking within the young man.
That terrifying primal aura, held back yet burning intensely, was precisely the Heaven-Burning Sacred Body he had been longing for and desperately seeking!
