Chapter 735 Is this the guidance of fate?
Lin Hanzhou was quite surprised to recognize Qin Changqing's identity.
According to his original estimate, with Qin Changqing's talent and the endless foundation he left him, Qin Changqing should have already swept away all enemies in the world and become a great emperor!
How could a great emperor of our time end up on a remote planet like Tianwu Star, where spiritual energy is depleted?
Even more unbelievable is that the other party, in such a weak mortal state, was almost frozen to death by an ordinary snowstorm and buried deep in this unattended icy pit!
This scene is as absurd as seeing a real dragon soaring through the heavens trapped in a small mud puddle, almost drowning in the mud!
However, just as Lin Hanzhou was overwhelmed with confusion and unable to understand, his gaze slowly shifted downwards and finally settled on the item that Qin Changqing was clutching tightly in his arms with his hands, which were frozen purple.
It was a black wooden box that looked extremely old and covered with the marks of time.
The wooden box appears to be made of very ancient materials, with a faint, obscure, and extremely weak fluctuation of the laws of the Dao flowing along its edges.
This fluctuation carries a unique aura that transcends endless time and flows against the tide of history.
The moment Lin Hanzhou saw the black wooden box, his pupils contracted sharply. All the doubts and questions in his mind seemed to be instantly cleaved by lightning, and all the clues were connected.
He understood everything!
"This black wooden box...the sense of time it bears..."
Lin Hanzhou stared intently at the wooden box, thinking to himself.
"This is the very wooden box that my future self, whom I met in my past life, personally sent into the river of time!"
"Inside lies the very treasure that can grant one the power to ascend to the heavens in an instant, instantly attaining the status of a Great Emperor—the Dao-Merging Flower!"
"So that's how it is! Is this the guidance of fate?"
Lin Hanzhou's mind was racing. He took a deep breath of the cold air, forcibly suppressing the surging emotions in his heart, and prepared to carefully check Qin Changqing's physical condition.
Because he had just been reborn into Jiang Bai's weak mortal body, he not only had no spiritual power in his body, but his divine sense was also extremely weak, making it impossible for him to project his divine sense and scan the starry river in an instant, just like in his previous life.
He could only drag his frozen, stiff legs and kneel down in the raging wind, pressing his body tightly against Qin Changqing.
He extended his pale and thin hands, which were somewhat pale from the cold, and gently placed them on Qin Changqing's cold and stiff wrist pulse.
At the same time, he closed his eyes and tried his best to concentrate his weak spiritual power, probing it little by little into Qin Changqing's body through his fingertips.
The next second, Lin Hanzhou suddenly opened his eyes, his expression completely frozen, and he was completely dumbfounded.
"Nothing...nothing at all?"
Lin Hanzhou muttered to himself incredulously.
After a thorough examination, he was surprised to find that there was not a single trace of cultivation fluctuation in Qin Changqing's body!
Originally, Lin Hanzhou thought that Qin Changqing had fallen to such a state because he was ambushed by an ancient supreme being in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, or besieged by multiple forbidden zone masters, resulting in severe damage to his origin and loss of cultivation. This forced him to use some kind of long-distance void teleportation array to escape to this remote Tianwu Star.
However, the results of the investigation completely overturned his guess.
Within Qin Changqing's body, the Sea of Wheels was blocked, the Dao Palace was dim, the Four Extremes were not visible, and the Immortal Platform was nowhere to be found.
His body was like a dried-up pond, without any trace of cultivation.
This is not the broken body left behind after a peerless powerhouse had his cultivation abolished.
Because if a Supreme Being were to cripple one's cultivation, the opponent's body would inevitably retain extremely domineering laws of destruction, and such scars could never be erased.
But Qin Changqing's body was clean and tidy, like a blank sheet of paper that had never been painted with any color.
There were no signs of battle on his body, no knife wounds, no sword marks, no burns from magic, and certainly no Dao injuries left by high-level experts after a fight.
He is now just an ordinary person, completely powerless!
Moreover, precisely because he is now a mortal without any spiritual power to protect him, he was frozen unconscious in this ordinary northern snowstorm and faced the prospect of freezing to death.
"What on earth happened? How could someone regress into a mortal without any warning, without even leaving a trace of cultivation?"
Lin Hanzhou frowned, completely baffled.
Just then, his gaze inadvertently fell upon Qin Changqing's right hand, which was tightly clutching the wooden box.
On Qin Changqing's slender right index finger was an antique ring, neither gold nor wood, with intricate spatial array patterns engraved on its surface.
"This is... the Sumeru storage ring that I personally crafted and bestowed upon him back then?"
Lin Hanzhou's heart skipped a beat. Since the storage ring was still there, it meant that Qin Changqing had not been robbed or murdered.
However, storage rings require spiritual power or divine sense to open.
Qin Changqing is now a complete mortal, and with the ring on his hand, he has no way of using anything inside it.
"We have to open it and see if there are any clues inside."
Lin Hanzhou's eyes narrowed.
For anyone else, it would be a pipe dream for an ordinary person to try to open a storage ring left behind by a Great Emperor-level expert.
Even if the strongest Dragon Transformation Realm cultivator on Tianwu Star came, he wouldn't be able to shake the seal on this ring in the slightest, no matter how hard he tried.
But Lin Hanzhou is different. He has the talent of [Primordial Unity], which can refine all things, so he can open the storage ring at will.
Although the [Sword Mastery] gold talent prevents the use of other talents while it is active, there is an on/off switch for this active period.
He can turn off the [Sword Mastery] talent and then use other talents.
However, correspondingly, after the [Sword Mastery] talent is turned off, it needs to wait one day before it can be turned on again, which is to prevent it from getting stuck in a bug.
As he used his talent, the seal on the storage ring was refined.
Lin Hanzhou immediately probed his faint divine sense into the ring.
When Lin Hanzhou saw the scene inside the ring, he gasped again.
The interior of the ring is vast and boundless, like a small world.
Within this small world, piled up like mountains were countless top-grade spirit stones radiating dazzling divine light;
The medicinal herb fields are planted with rare and precious natural materials that have long been extinct outside the world and are tens of thousands of years old;
Suspended in the sky were dozens of Emperor-level life-saving talismans, radiating terrifying pressure and capable of withstanding a supreme attack.
At the very center of all this, a long sword floated silently.
Half of the sword was wreathed in raging purple lightning, while the other half burned with heaven-burning, world-destroying red lotus karmic fire.
Endless imperial laws flowed around the sword, emanating a terrifying imperial might that could suppress eternity and annihilate stars.
This is the Thunderfire Sword, the ultimate imperial weapon that Lin Hanzhou bestowed upon Qin Changqing in his previous life!
Seeing these things lying intact in the storage ring, Lin Hanzhou's doubts did not lessen but instead deepened.
