Chapter 363 Don’t be disrespectful to the immortals

Lin Feng, carrying Chen Xin'er on his back, stood tall and straight like a pine tree, his steps steady and resolute. Each step seemed to carry a resolute and fearless attitude towards the unknown. Chen Yu and Xu Tian, ​​like loyal guards, followed closely behind. Their eyes scanned the surroundings vigilantly, not missing any trace of potential danger. Fine beads of sweat formed on their foreheads, gleaming in the sunlight.

Led by Jiujiuyi, the four gradually approached the awe-inspiring, imposing structure. Like a towering mountain, it loomed between heaven and earth. Its massive bulk completely blocked out the sunlight, its shadows spreading as dark as ink, shrouding everything in its path in darkness, as if night had arrived prematurely. An invisible sense of oppression surged over them like a tide, making their breath pause.

Chen Yu looked up at the towering building with his eyes wide open, full of shock and confusion. His mouth opened wide and he exclaimed in amazement: "Such a huge castle can be supported by only five pillars as thick as a person. This method is definitely beyond the reach of human power. It must be the magic of immortals!" His voice trembled slightly with excitement, and his face was full of awe and respect for this magical building, as if he was witnessing a miracle coming to the world.

Lin Feng listened attentively to Chen Yu's sigh, his lips curling up slightly in a faint smile. That smile contained both a hint of ridicule for Chen Yu's naiveté and a clear understanding of the truth behind it. He shook his head gently, his eyes deep and far-reaching, as if he had traveled through time and space, gazing upon the technologically advanced world of his past life. He thought to himself, "This seemingly incredible sight is nothing more than the technological power of a past life, commonplace, yet this world has yet to experience it."

Led by Jiujiuyi, they slowly advanced like a string of ants, finally arriving at the palace's towering gates. Eunuch Hong, now clad in a magnificent brocade robe embroidered with intricate gold thread patterns, shimmered dazzlingly in the sunlight like a flowing golden stream. He stood quietly, his signature fawning smile on his face, flanked by two mysterious figures in strange spacesuits. The suits were sleek, gleaming with a cold metallic sheen. The transparent glass shields obscured their faces, leaving only an air of mystery, like visitors from a distant galaxy.

Lin Feng's gaze was instantly drawn to the two spacesuited figures, like iron to a magnet. The moment he saw them clearly, his pupils contracted sharply, and long-held suspicions burst forth in his mind like fireworks. His heartbeat quickened, threatening to burst through his chest, and an indescribable complex of emotions washed over him. Memories of his past life surged, coupled with shock and bewilderment at this unexpected reunion. Deep in his soul, he was absolutely certain these two people were from his past life, but the scene and manner of their encounter far exceeded his expectations.

Jiujiuyi led Lin Feng and the others before Eunuch Hong. Eunuch Hong bent slightly and gave a deeply respectful bow, his waist bent nearly ninety degrees, his hands gracefully hanging before him. His movements were fluid and eloquent, embodying the solemnity and humility of court etiquette. Jiujiuyi, however, knelt without hesitation, pulling Lin Feng and the other three along as they knelt before the two men in spacesuits. In their minds, these two possessed transcendental powers, capable of controlling the wind and rain. They must undoubtedly be immortals. Kneeling in this respect was a sign of supreme respect and awe for an immortal, a matter of course.

Chen Yu, Xu Tian, ​​and Chen Xin'er, inspired by Jiujiuyi's actions, also knelt. Chen Yu's eyes were filled with piety and awe. He lowered his head, not daring to look directly at the immortal, his body trembling slightly, as if he were a mere speck of dust before the immortal. Xu Tian's face was serious, his eyes revealing both fear and reverence for an unknown power. He bit his lower lip tightly, his hands clasped in front of him, revealing his inner tension and uneasiness. Chen Xin'er's eyes were filled with worry. She secretly glanced at Lin Feng, and when she saw that he hadn't knelt, she became even more anxious, fearing that he had offended the immortal and met with misfortune.

Only Lin Feng stood there proudly, like a towering mountain, staring motionlessly at the two men in spacesuits. His eyes held no trace of fear, only a deep inquiry interwoven with complex emotions. His gaze was like a sharp sword, seemingly piercing through the suits to see through their faces and souls.

Mu Yuhan and Lin Rongxuan peered at Lin Feng's face through the glass of their spacesuits, their expressions of surprise palpable. A flicker of doubt and reminiscence crossed their eyes, as if they saw a familiar yet distant figure on Lin Feng's face. In their minds, the back of a person flashed by like a brilliant meteor. That person's silhouette was identical to Lin Feng's, except that compared to the slightly immature Lin Feng before them, the figure in their memories was taller and more majestic, exuding an aura of admiration. That person, always dressed in casual clothes, had created countless legends in their world with his remarkable wisdom and fearless courage, earning him the accolade of a god.

At that moment, the three of them stared at each other, and time seemed to freeze. They had so much to say, so much to ask about each other's identities, so much to ask why they were there. However, the presence of the people around them was like an invisible yoke, a lump in their throats, making it difficult for them to speak.

Jiujiuyi and Chen Xiner noticed that Lin Feng hadn't knelt, and their faces showed anxiety and fear. Jiujiuyi quickly whispered, "General Lin, this is an immortal. Don't be disrespectful. Kneel and salute." His voice was soft, but it carried an unquestionable tone. His eyes were filled with worry about the possible consequences of Lin Feng's action, and beads of sweat even appeared on his forehead.

Chen Xiner was also pulling at the corner of Lin Feng's clothes and whispered, "Lin Feng, listen to Jiujiuyi and don't offend the immortal." Her eyes were full of concern and anxiety, and her eyes were slightly red, as if she was about to cry in the next second.

However, at that moment, the two men in spacesuits beside Eunuch Hong waved their hands. Mu Yuhan spoke through the loudspeaker in his spacesuit, "No need to be so restrained. Get up." His voice was metallic and cold, yet it also brought a sense of relief to the tense atmosphere.

After hearing this, Jiujiuyi and the others slowly stood up. Their eyes still held a hint of awe and confusion, wondering why these two immortals were so tolerant of Lin Feng's rude behavior. Lin Feng, however, remained standing, his gaze fixed on Mu Yuhan and Lin Rongxuan.
