The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2196 Immortal Palace Disciple, Ascending to Heaven in One Step?
Where did you come from?

Lin Chen casually replied, "The Divine Descendant Immortal Realm."

The shop assistant blinked: "Never heard of it."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "It's quite far. We crossed more than a dozen immortal realms to get here."

The shop assistant laughed and said, "Are you here to visit friends? I thought you were here to attend the Eastern Glory Immortal Gathering. Recently, many people have crossed the domain gate to come to the Myriad Gods Immortal Domain, all for this."

Lin Chen asked curiously, "The Eastern Empire Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering, what is that?"

The shop assistant chuckled, his expression reserved. Lin Chen smiled and immediately took out a few spirit stones and handed them over.

The shop assistant accepted the spirit stones and, no longer being reserved, explained, "The gathering of immortals in the Eastern Huang Domain is held once every hundred years. It is a grand event, with many immortals participating each time. The gathering lasts for half a month and is a major event in the cultivation world."

Lin Chen suddenly realized that he had participated in events such as the Divine Fire Martial Arts Tournament before, and had a general understanding of the content of such a grand event.

The immortals met, sparred, fought, and traded various elixirs, magical treasures, and other supplies. There were also all sorts of other things. In short, it was like a market day in a remote rural village. People from all directions would come here with items they could sell, making it a lively and bustling place.

Lin Chen was somewhat interested in such gatherings, but not much.

Lin Chen has cultivation techniques and elixirs to his name, and he doesn't have any specific needs, so he's just going to participate to watch the excitement.

The shop assistant continued excitedly, "This year's Donghuang Wanxian Gathering is attracting countless people not just to join in the fun, but because they are participating in the selection process for the Wanxian Palace."

Lin Chen's eyes lit up: "The Hall of Ten Thousand Immortals? What kind of selection?"

The shop assistant chuckled and said, "Disciples of the Immortal Palace, the Twelve Immortal Kings of the Myriad Immortal Palace are twelve cultivation forces. However, these cultivation forces are all based in one region, suppressing the four domains for the Myriad Immortal Palace. The Myriad Immortal Palace itself also needs members, so they will recruit disciples from all over the region from time to time. Once selected, these people can directly join the Myriad Immortal Palace and rise to the top in one step!"

Lin Chen asked curiously, "What kind of treatment will I receive if I am chosen as a disciple of the Immortal Palace?"

The shop assistant replied, "I'm not too sure about that. The Hall of Ten Thousand Immortals has its own system. These disciples are trained as the Hall's direct descendants. Those with average potential join the Hall's guard, while those with great potential and outstanding performance are entrusted with important responsibilities. As for their specific roles, I don't know." "Whether it's the Hall's guard or something even better, it's a meteoric rise. Think about it, if you have a relative or friend working in the Hall, what kind of powerful connections do you have?"

"That's why many immortal sects in the entire Eastern Empire, and even those from other immortal realms, are rushing here. Many sects have brought their talented disciples along, hoping that they can be selected so that they can benefit from the selection in the future."

"And ah..."

The shop assistant lowered his voice slightly, looking rather mysterious: "It's said that this year's disciples recruited by the Immortal Palace are different from previous years..."

Lin Chen blinked. "You're just an ordinary shop assistant, how do you know so much inside information?"
Real or fake?
Without a word, Lin Chen stuffed a few more spirit stones into the shopkeeper's hand. The shopkeeper, pleased with the bribe, whispered, "The Immortal Emperor's son once perished, enraging the Immortal Emperor and causing bloodshed throughout the realms. Now, the Immortal Emperor's mood has calmed down, and he wants to take on a disciple. This year's Immortal Palace disciples will all have the opportunity to meet the Immortal Emperor, and perhaps even become his personal disciples..."

Lin Chen's eyes widened. Was it really that exaggerated?
I've barely stepped into the Immortal Realm of Ten Thousand Gods, barely even settled in, and you've already pulled out the Eastern Emperor's Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering, and then you've already poked at the Immortal Emperor, with all this talk about the Immortal Emperor taking on disciples...

Although Lin Chen was skeptical, after all, the person gossiping in front of him was not a famous immortal powerhouse, but a waiter in a restaurant who had just started cultivating and had low strength.

Despite his doubts, Lin Chen became interested.

Since they're holding some kind of Immortal Palace disciple selection, the Myriad Immortals Palace should also participate and make an appearance, right?

You could go check it out!

Although Lin Chen had no interest in becoming a disciple of some immortal palace, after all, his strength was neither high nor low, and he didn't want to be a disciple and be ordered around by others.

He had previously promised everyone that he would go to the Qing Shen Sect to meet them, and then together they would build a cave dwelling for everyone, creating a home for all of them, so that everyone would have a place to belong in the future.

"The Eastern Empire's Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering, won't people from the other three realms participate?"

The shop assistant whispered, "It's said that the Immortal Emperor is human, so this selection process is more inclined towards humans. The other three realms are all alien races, which may not be as appealing. However, even so, many people from the other three realms have come, including many of their geniuses, to participate in this selection..."
