Chapter 1336: Chapter 1356: Seed of Abnormality, Taking Root and Sprouting_1

"Elder Zhou, may I ask a question?"

"Go ahead."

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

Zhou Ming replied, "Only a few people at the top."

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief and then requested, "Could you keep my identity of the Barbarian Realm Human Emperor a secret? This identity does not mean much in the Immortal Realm but may attract a lot of unwanted attention..."

Zhou Ming was slightly surprised, but then understood Lin Chen’s low-profile approach, not wanting to attract unnecessary trouble.

"All right, we’ll keep it a secret as you requested."

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

After Zhou Ming left, Ghost Tower appeared.

"Ready to settle in here?"

Lin Chen laughed, "Hmm, it’s a generous offer. I will take this opportunity to familiarize myself with this world before making future plans."

Qi slightly laughed, "Are you prepared to accept Zhao Feiyu’s Eight-Armed Arhat’s Seed of Abnormality?"

Lin Chen’s eyes lit up, "Is it possible now?"

"Yes."

Qi responded, "I have separated his Seed of Abnormality, but whether you can bear it and whether it can sprout and ultimately merge together, I can’t guarantee."

Lin Chen laughed, "Let’s give it a try. If it fails, it’s no loss. It’s just not meant to be."

Qi reminded, "It will be very painful."

Lin Chen responded, "Refining Sword Bone was also very painful, but I still persevered through it, didn’t I?"

Qi thought that made sense. The process of refining every single bone is not less painful than planting the Seed of Abnormality.

"Then get ready. After this, whether you succeed or fail, I will leave."

Lin Chen was a bit reluctant in his heart, but he agreed straightforwardly.

"Alright!"

Lin Chen ate well, slept well, and entered Ghost Tower in high spirits.

"What do I need to do?"

Qi slightly smiled, "You just need to do one thing."

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow, "Hmm?"

"Hang in there, survive."

As soon as Qi finished saying this, she raised her right hand, her palm as sharp as a sword, and pierced Lin Chen’s chest directly, stabbing straight into his heart.

Damn!

It’s so direct and violent?

Lin Chen clearly felt Qi put something the size of a chickpea in his heart and then pull her hand back.

Is this little thing the Seed of Abnormality?

Is it a physical object or a condensed body similar to a primordial spirit?

Lin Chen took out the Shengling Pearl and directly pressed it on the wound on his chest.

The damaged heart heals quickly, and even the hole in his chest heals quickly. It was as if he wasn’t even injured.

Qi raised her hand again and pointed it at Lin Chen’s chest.

With this direction, the quiet Seed of Abnormality in the heart suddenly moved. It was like a seed that began to absorb the ’soil’ nutrients around it frantically.

Lin Chen’s face turned pale instantly, and his whole body curled up instantly, falling to the ground as if he were experiencing a sudden heart attack.

A large amount of blood from the heart was absorbed into the Seed of Abnormality, which put a huge burden on the heart. It was as if a piece of moist soil suddenly had its moisture sucked out of it quickly, turning into dry, brittle soil that would shatter at the touch.

Lin Chen gritted his teeth, his entire body was drenched with sweat, and his body was shaking uncontrollably.

Lin Chen pressed the Shengling Pearl to his chest, frantically inputting Immortal Spirit Qi, nourishing and repairing the heart that was as brittle and liable to shatter as dry soil.

Qi stood by, watching quietly. Her eyes seemed to see through Lin Chen’s body, directly into the Seed of Abnormality that was absorbing nutrients frantically and beginning to change subtly.

As time went by, second by second, Lin Chen was like a traveler dying of thirst in the desert, completely unaware of the passage of time, only one thought in his mind.

Hold on!

Don’t faint!

Qi said before, the Seed of Abnormality only has one chance to take root and sprout in the body. If Lin Chen can’t hang in there, and it can’t successfully grow out and thoroughly integrate with his body, then it will be a failure.

Even though Lin Chen won’t die, the Seed of Abnormality will become completely useless. It’s like a seed, if you soak it in water and do all you can to make it sprout, and it fails, it obviously won’t have a second chance to sprout.

Finally, Lin Chen felt the Seed of Abnormality in his heart stir.

From that chickpea-sized seed, tentacles extended. One, two, three...

Countless tiny tentacles pierced through Lin Chen’s heart, then turned around like plant roots, tightly coiled around Lin Chen’s heart.

Lin Chen felt like he was going mad.

The heart is the most vulnerable part of a person. Even though he had become an Immortal, the Seed of Abnormality used his blood as sustenance, his heart as soil, and grew crazily, traversing through his heart. How could this not hurt?

Hold on!

Lin Chen didn’t know how long he withstood it, but the movement in his heart suddenly stopped.

Lin Chen, who was stiff with tension, fell flat on his back on the ground, panting heavily.

He looked at Qi’s beautiful face and asked, panting, "What’s the situation now?"

Admiration and surprise were undisguised in Qi’s eyes as she slightly smiled, "It’s hard to believe, you succeeded..."
