The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1356 The Seed of the Strange Phenomenon Takes Root and Sprouts

"Elder Zhou, may I ask you something?"

"You said."

Lin Chen asked cautiously, "How many people in the sect know about my relationship with Fairy Xuanji?"

Zhou Ming replied, "Only for a select group of senior executives."

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief and pleaded, "Could you please keep my identity a secret? The identity of the Human Emperor of the Wilderness Realm isn't anything special in the Immortal Realm, but it might attract a lot of unnecessary attention..."

Zhou Ming was slightly surprised, but quickly came to his senses. Lin Chen was just keeping a low profile and didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble.

"Alright, since you've made the request, we naturally won't publicize it."

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief; he just wanted to stay here quietly for a while.

After Zhou Ming left, the Ghost Tower floated out.

"You're planning to stay here?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Well, I can't refuse such kindness. I'll take this opportunity to familiarize myself with this world before making any plans."

Qi chuckled: "Are you ready to accept the extraordinary seed of Zhao Feiyu's Eight-Armed Arhat?"

Lin Chen's eyes lit up: "Is it ready?"

"Yes."

Qi replied, "I have already extracted his seed of vision, but whether you can withstand it, whether you can allow the seed of vision to sprout and eventually merge, I cannot guarantee that."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Why not give it a try? There's no loss if I fail. I'll just consider it as my fate."

Qi warned, "It will hurt a lot."

Lin Chen replied, "Refining the sword bone was also very painful, but I still got through it, didn't I?"

Qi Yi thought it made sense. Refining every single bone in his body would be just as painful as planting the Seed of the Extraordinary.

"Then get ready and give it a try. Whether you succeed or fail, I will leave afterward."

Lin Chen felt a little reluctant, but he readily agreed.

"it is good!"

Having eaten and slept well, Lin Chen entered the Ghost Tower full of energy.

"how should I do?"

Qi smiled slightly: "You only need to do one thing."

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow: "Hmm?"

"Hold on, survive."

No sooner had Qi finished speaking than her right hand rose, her palm like a sharp sword, and with a swift motion, it pierced Lin Chen's chest, directly into his heart. Holy crap!

Is it really that direct and violent?

Lin Chen clearly sensed Qi placing something the size of a broad bean inside his heart before withdrawing his hand.

Is this little thing the seed of the vision?
Is it a physical object, or a kind of condensed entity similar to a primordial spirit?
Lin Chen took out the Life-Giving Pearl and pressed it directly against the wound on his chest.

The damaged heart healed quickly, and even the large hole in his chest healed rapidly, as if he had never been injured at all.

Qi raised his hand again and pointed a finger at Lin Chen's chest.

With this gesture, the seed of the strange phenomenon that had been so quiet in his heart suddenly stirred, like a seed that began to frantically absorb nutrients from the surrounding "soil".

Lin Chen's face turned deathly pale, and his whole body hunched over as he collapsed to the ground, as if he had suffered a sudden heart attack.

A large amount of blood was drawn into the Seed of Anomaly from the heart, which put a huge burden on the heart. It was like a piece of soil that was originally moist, but the moisture was suddenly drained away so that it became dry and brittle soil that would crumble at the slightest touch.

Lin Chen gritted his teeth, his body drenched in sweat, and his whole body was trembling uncontrollably.

Lin Chen pressed the Life Pearl on his chest and frantically channeled immortal spiritual energy into it, nourishing and repairing his heart, which had become like withered earth and seemed ready to shatter at any moment.

Qi stood to the side, watching quietly. Her eyes seemed to see through Lin Chen's body, directly seeing the strange seed that was frantically absorbing nutrients and beginning to undergo subtle changes.

Time passed second by second, and Lin Chen was like a traveler dying of thirst in the desert, completely oblivious to the time, with only one thought in his mind.

Hold on!

Don't faint!

Qi said that once the Seed of the Strange Phenomenon enters the body, it takes root and sprouts, and there is only one chance. If Lin Chen fails to hold on this time and fails to let it grow smoothly and completely merge with his body, then it will be a failure.

Lin Chen will not die, but the Seed of the Anomaly will be completely destroyed. It's like a seed that you soak in water and try all sorts of methods, but it still fails to germinate. Obviously, this seed will never have a second chance to germinate.

Finally, Lin Chen felt the strange seed in his heart begin to stir.

Tentacles extended from that seed, the size of a broad bean—one, two, three…

Countless tiny tendrils pierced through Lin Chen's heart, then, like the roots of a plant, they circled back and tightly wrapped around it.

Lin Chen is going crazy.

The heart is the most vulnerable part of a person. Even if he has become an immortal, the seed of the strange phenomenon uses his blood as nourishment and the heart as soil to grow wildly, moving around in the heart. How can it not hurt?
Tolerate!
Lin Chen didn't know how long he had endured it, but the beating in his heart suddenly stopped.

Lin Chen's tense body fell backward to the ground, breathing heavily.

He looked up at Qi's beautiful face and asked breathlessly, "What's the situation now?"

Qi's eyes held undisguised admiration and amazement. She smiled slightly and said, "It's hard to believe you succeeded..."
