The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1297 Not at the required level? Just improve and you'll reach it!
"Young friend, this is Guo Jia, the special envoy of the immortals. He is responsible for testing your affinity with the immortals."

Guo Jia had an ordinary appearance, looked middle-aged, had a calm expression, and a condescending scrutiny in his eyes.

After Guo Jia arrived, the previously noisy atmosphere cooled down considerably. It was clear that even though Guo Jia originally belonged here, after becoming a Celestial Envoy, an invisible line of hierarchy had formed between him and the others.

Guo Jia clearly noticed everyone's reaction and said calmly, "I'll leave after I've tested his affinity for immortality. It won't affect your drinking."

Lin Chen asked curiously, "Special Envoy, how will the test be conducted?"

Guo Jia took out a crystal ball with a white mist swirling around its surface and handed it to Lin Chen: "It's very simple, just hold it with both hands."

Lin Chen reached out his hands and caught the crystal ball, feeling quite uneasy.

What will the outcome be?
With everyone watching, Lin Chen couldn't afford to be careless; he couldn't defeat any of the people here!

Let's just grit our teeth and go for it!

The crystal ball was very cold, like a piece of ice. As soon as it touched Lin Chen's hand, a chilling aura emanated from the crystal ball, flowing down Lin Chen's wrist and into his body, then quickly spreading throughout his entire body.

What is this test?
Innate talent? Aptitude?
Lin Chen was puzzled. He looked around and found that everyone's eyes were fixed on the crystal ball, their eyes filled with anticipation.

Will the crystal ball change?
Lin Chen's heart stirred, and he turned his gaze to the crystal ball. Sure enough, as the cool aura continued to flow into his body, the crystal ball began to glow!

The hazy, white light resembled that of a low-wattage incandescent bulb.

More and more cool air flowed in, and the light gradually became brighter and brighter. Eventually, the light began to change color, turning yellow within the white light.

what is this?
Lin Chen didn't understand what this meant. He subconsciously looked up at the people around him and found that their eyes were filled with surprise and anticipation.

This seems like a positive change?
The light continued to change, from yellow to red, and even the usually indifferent Guo Jia showed surprise, while gasps of surprise rose from the surrounding crowd.

Lin Chen blinked. Did his test result seem pretty amazing?
The red color deepened over time, eventually turning completely blood red. The red was so viscous that it seemed impossible to dissolve, just like fresh blood.

A cool sensation began to circulate, disappearing from his body and finally returning to the crystal ball. The crystal ball's color gradually dimmed, eventually returning to calm.

The surroundings were completely silent.

Guo Jia's face was filled with barely concealed excitement. He stared at Lin Chen with burning eyes, as if he were looking at a flawless gem. Zhao Ding, Qian Yi, Li Wu, and the others also had fervent gazes, their eyes filled with undisguised joy.

Lin Chen asked in a low voice, "Special Envoy, what... what was the result for me?"

Guo Jia patted Lin Chen on the shoulder and even gave him a squeeze, laughing heartily, "Very good, haha, excellent!"

very good?

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Did he pass the test?
What were Jiaxue's test results?
Lin Chen cautiously probed, "So what do I need to do next?"

Guo Jia chuckled and said, "You don't need to do anything. Just drink in peace. I'll go back and inform the immortal, and then I'll initiate the ascension ceremony for you."

Lin Chen asked curiously, "What is that?"

Guo Jia was in high spirits and explained, "Only those with exceptional affinity for immortality have the opportunity to initiate the Ascension Ceremony. During the Ascension Ceremony, if you have a good affinity for immortality, it is possible to ascend directly to immortality. Of course, if you are not so fortunate, you can still become a half-immortal."

“When we half-immortals were tested for our immortal destiny, most of us emitted a bright yellow light or a faint red light. Never has anyone emitted such an intense red light as you.”

"Based on past experience, with such a predestined affinity for immortality, you are very likely to ascend directly to immortality."

Ascend to immortality?

As Fairy Xuanji once said, the essence of ascending to immortality is the tempering of the body by lightning tribulation and the complete replacement of spiritual energy with immortal spiritual energy after passing through the lightning tribulation; neither can be lacking.

What is an ascension ceremony?
Can it allow someone to ascend directly to immortality?
Why do I feel so distrustful?
Lin Chen was skeptical, but outwardly he was overjoyed: "Really, Envoy? Are you saying I can ascend directly to immortality? But my strength is only at the early stage of the Void Realm, not even at the Great Perfection of the Void Realm yet. How can I ascend?"

Guo Jia smiled slightly: "Not enough realm? Then once you reach it, isn't that enough? For cultivators outside, it's very difficult to improve their realm, but for immortals, isn't it just a piece of cake?"

Lin Chen feigned excitement and asked, "When can I begin this Ascension Ceremony?"

"The Ascension Ceremony needs some preparation. After all, your strength is not enough, and we need to prepare some things to improve it. Don't worry, just stay here and rest assured. Once you're ready, I will come to find you as soon as possible."

Guo Jia was in a very good mood and laughed, "Originally, someone should have been ahead of you in line, but your affinity for immortality is even greater. I estimate that the immortals will let you undergo the ascension ceremony first..."
