Mainland Martial Arts

Chapter 360 The Long-Forgotten Palace

Xu Tian was the first to break the silence. He swallowed hard, his throat rolling, and asked with a trembling voice: "Is that the castle that the immortal brought here? It's so big!" As he spoke, he stretched his neck like a curious giraffe, wanting to see the castle more clearly, his eyes full of amazement and curiosity, as if an innocent child saw a new toy.

Jiujiu nodded and said affirmatively: "Yes, the immortal flew here with this huge castle." His eyes were still fixed on the castle, with a hint of awe in his eyes, as if expressing his respect and fear for the immortal.

Lin Feng shook his head slightly and corrected: "This is not a castle, it's a huge iron lump. It brought those people here." There was a certainty in his eyes, as if he had already known all this. His hands unconsciously clenched slightly, and an irrepressible excitement surged in his heart.

As soon as these words were spoken, Jiujiuyi, Chen Xiner, Chen Yu, and Xu Tian all turned their puzzled gazes towards Lin Feng. Jiujiuyi frowned slightly, a hint of surprise in his eyes. He was the first to ask, "General Lin, do you recognize this city... Oh... Is it this so-called iron lump?" His tone was filled with curiosity and doubt. He took a small step forward and stared closely at Lin Feng, as if trying to discern the answer from his expression, his eyes revealing a hint of inquiry and scrutiny.

Lin Feng took a deep breath and said slowly, "Yes, I recognize it. Although this is my first time seeing it in person, I know it's a warship capable of carrying people across the stars." His eyes gleamed with excitement, and his mind couldn't help but recall images of space exploration from his past life: astronauts in heavy spacesuits, wandering through space, exploring unknown planets. His heart was filled with longing and yearning for the future, as if he saw the infinite possibilities of the world's future. A new era led by technology and innovation was beckoning him.

Upon hearing this, Xu Tian gasped in disbelief. "Take people on a journey through the starry sky? How much Qi would that consume?" In his understanding, all power in the world originated from Qi. The amount of Qi required to fly such a massive warship must be beyond imagination. He scratched his head, his face filled with confusion and bewilderment, his eyes etched with a hint of bewilderment.

Lin Feng smiled gently and explained patiently: "It doesn't use true energy, but relies on gunpowder, just like the items I made before, but there are great differences in principle and scale." There was a hint of pride in his eyes, as if he was proud of knowing this secret that transcended the times. His hands were slightly open, as if showing a great invention.

Lin Feng's words were like a huge rock dropped into a calm lake, instantly stirring up a turbulent wave in everyone's hearts. Jiujiuyi, Chen Xiner, Chen Yu, and Xu Tian all looked shocked. Their eyes widened as they stared at Lin Feng, as if he were a monster from another world.

In their view, if what Lin Feng said was true, then this warship was undoubtedly a force to be reckoned with, a force capable of revolutionizing the entire era, completely altering the very structure and destiny of the world. Chen Xin'er's eyes were filled with doubt and bewilderment. She looked at Lin Feng, wondering: How many secrets does this man before her hold? Why does he always seem to know things we've never heard of before? Her lips trembled slightly, and she wanted to say something, but she didn't know where to begin.

Lin Feng ignored their shock. His gaze remained fixed on the massive warship, his excitement growing stronger. He seemed to see the infinite possibilities of the world's future, a new era led by technology and innovation beckoning him.

"I will make this era reach that point," Lin Feng's voice was firm and powerful, filled with determination and conviction. "It may take a hundred years, two hundred years, or even longer. But I firmly believe that as long as there is hope, it will be achieved." His eyes burned with a fiery flame, reflecting his unwavering pursuit of the future and his determination to work tirelessly. He raised his head slightly, gazing at the sky, as if swearing an oath to heaven and earth.

Lin Feng's bold words caused everyone to fall silent again. They were deeply shocked by Lin Feng's courage and determination. At this moment, in their eyes, Lin Feng was no longer just a general with great martial arts skills, but more like a pioneer who could lead the transformation of the times.

After a moment, Lin Feng turned around and looked at everyone. His eyes regained some calmness and he said, "Let's go. We should go in, otherwise we will be delayed too long." After that, he took the first step forward, his steps firm and powerful, and every step seemed to step on everyone's heart.

Elsewhere in the palace, Mu Yuhan and Lin Rongxuan, clad in futuristic spacesuits, quietly moved through the ancient and mysterious corridors of the palace. Atop their glass covers, a faint blue virtual screen flickered with a strange light, and complex data pulsed and shifted like flowing water, as if a mysterious technological world were unfolding before their eyes.

Lin Rongxian stared at the data on the screen with a hint of surprise and vigilance in his eyes, and said softly: "Mu Yuhan, look at these data, the types of bacteria and viruses in this place are beyond imagination, and many of them are things we have never seen before. Fortunately, we have this space suit to isolate ourselves, otherwise, once we come into direct contact with the environment here, the consequences will be unimaginable, and it may bring a catastrophe to our world." His voice came through the loudspeaker of the space suit, with a hint of ethereality and distance, as if it came from another time and space.

Mu Yuhan nodded slightly, his eyes also revealing solemnity and relief. He looked up and around, looking at the quaint palace building, and sighed: "Yes, this world is weird everywhere. Not only that, have you noticed that even the passage of time is completely different from our world. Only one year has passed there, but a hundred years have passed here, as if time has gone off track in the two worlds. What kind of strange place is this?" His eyes were full of curiosity and doubts about this strange world, like an explorer lost in the maze of time.

The two men chatted quietly as they slowly made their way along the winding corridors. Their steps were light and cautious, each one barely audible, only the gentle mechanical hum of their spacesuits echoing faintly through the silent corridors. As they passed an ancient, slightly eerie palace, they found it unusually quiet. Not a single guard was on duty, as if it had been forgotten by the entire palace.
