On their backs, most had a pattern of a green olive branch, which Chen Feng recognized at a glance.
[Jade Biotechnology]
"What is the relationship between Lin Hao and Jade Biotechnology?"
Chen Feng asked.
He had long considered Lin Hao his best friend and could vaguely sense that he had a not-so-great past.
"His father was once a director at Jade Biotechnology."
ng Anran said calmly, while military personnel approached, and Old Gu quickly handled the situation.
"And then?" Chen Feng asked as he followed the group to the end of the tal corridor.
"He’s dead."
ng Anran replied, with a hint of sigh in her tone.
Chen Feng paused, and finally caught up with the group.
He finally learned part of Lin Hao’s hidden past.
Although he still had so questions, he didn’t ask further.
Tap tap tap tap tap.
The group turned left and walked straight, slowly reaching the end of the tal corridor.
A gray tal door blocked the front, with a silver device embedded beside it, which had a groove inside.
Beep!
Old Gu took out a special silver card and inserted it, causing the tal door to open from both sides like an elevator.
In an instant, everyone was shocked, including Chen Feng whose pupils contracted.
Looking through that tal door, there was an open-air tal platform that ascended and descended outside.
Looking further, a barren world appeared before their eyes.
Wind and sand blew, with brown sand and huge rocks.
There was no sign of life, yet, in the center of that world.
A huge circular ring traversed between heaven and earth.
Within it, a mass of white light gathered, resembling a giant mirror.
Flying devices and warships from the Inner City went in and out, causing ripples on the mirror, as if there was a special space inside.
Nearby, large military camps were stationed, and several warships floated in mid-air, suppressing everything.
"Is this the Inner City?"
Cao Tong and others were shocked, while Zhou Wuren and Xie Xiao were slightly better, yet still marveled.
Chen Feng was sowhat entranced by the scene, finally entering the tal lift with Old Gu’s reminder, descending slowly.
"This is the entrance to the Inner City."
ng Anran uncharacteristically offered an explanation, wearing sunglasses and applying sunscreen from his assistant’s hand onto his own.
"That ring-like portal, we call it the Star Ring."
"With this item, we can stably support the opening of the Star Ruins, or the so-called Ancient Civilization Relics, Secret Realm, Star Realm, and so on, all an the sa."
Xie Xiao and Zhou Wuren had different expressions, while Chen Feng slightly frowned.
"Star Ring?"
He thought of the residual mories he got in the Dream World.
"What about the Key?"
Could the difference between the Dream Secret Realm and Ancient Civilization Relics lie here?
But aren’t the people of the Divine Martial Alliance also looking for this item?
"Ha ha, you do know sothing."
"It should be discovered by the Divine Martial Alliance."
ng Anran chuckled, not hiding anything.
"The Key is used to temporarily open the Secret Realm, but it can’t last long, nor is it stable."
"Usually, it is so item containing a special substance or power of a certain Secret Realm. When the contained thing is exhausted, the Secret Realm gate will close."
"And the Star Ring...."
The tal platform gradually slowed down, stopping on the ground.
Several flying devices were parked there, with fully ard Black Crystal Group personnel in combat uniform waiting on site.
"You can think of it as a more advanced and larger Key, capable of being reused for a long duration."
"The drawback, though, is that it consus too much energy, often requiring full power supply from a city."
ng Anran concluded, as the waiting security chief respectfully addressed the boss, opened the hatch, and invited her in.
Chen Feng pondered, then entered the flying device with Xie Xiao and others.
Whoosh!!
The energy started, and the flying device left the ground again, heading straight for the huge Star Ring.
"The Star Ring is really big."
Cao Tong said subconsciously, feeling that this trip had broadened his knowledge a lot.
Disciples brought by Xie Xiao and Zhou Wuren had similar expressions, and Chen Feng also generally felt the difference of the Star Ring.
No need to ntion the size, the closer they got, the more apparent it was, with a circular area at least a thousand ters.
Other than that, there was the white, wave-like mirrored surface.
It seed like a special layer of energy, wavering gently whenever a vehicle passed through.
"Isn’t protection from a vehicle necessary?"
A young disciple brought by Zhou Wuren asked in surprise, as everyone looked over, seeing several figures in combat uniform walking into the Star Ring on foot.
"It certainly can be done."
Old Gu nodded and explained: "The energy of the Star Ring is very stable and doesn’t harm people."
"We’re taking a flying device not for protection, but for the convenience of travel."
Everyone paused, and Chen Feng sensed sothing.
Soon, the flying device approached the Star Ring until it charged into it.
Buzz!!
An invisible force swept over, and Chen Feng keenly perceived a subtle change in his body’s center of gravity.
Including the pressure in the cabin and the surrounding gravity, there were slight changes.
The next second.
"Whoa!!"
Cao Tong exclaid, and the young disciples brought by Zhou Wuren expressed similar sentints.
No one delved deep into it, because Chen Feng and others were all drawn to the scene outside the window.
A new world.
A bluer sky, clear for miles, with clouds grouped together.
Below, an expansive green forest stretched endlessly, seemingly covering the whole world.
Quickly, their gaze shifted.
They soon saw a part of the forest not far away being cleared, with buildings rising from the ground.
Gray and black in appearance, like the material of the Inner City’s high walls.
Looking around, military camps were stationed there.
A large area around the buildings was demarcated, with various armored vehicles, tanks, flying devices, and energy weapons coming and going.
Teams of camouflage-clad figures patrolled back and forth, warships hanging in the air, with the striking red maple leaf insignia.
In addition, there was the crossed sword and shield emblem of the Chi General Guard, close to the military camp in a large building.
As for other groups, they too had similar setups, each having established footholds.
For a mont, Cao Tong and others still looked shaken, but the Black Crystal Group personnel did not mock them.
They behaved similarly when they first ca to this ancient civilization relic.
"This is the ancient civilization relic within Yun Gang’s Inner City.....Yun ng Forest."
ng Anran stated while sitting on a cabin chair, without the flying device showing any signs of stopping.
"The coordinates of this ancient civilization relic were discovered 30 years ago, and successfully opened thereafter, leading to the construction of the Inner City to maintain the Star Ring’s operation."
"Initially, it was the military and Chi General Guard who developed and explored here, until 15 years ago when private sector companies like ours were granted exploration rights."
In her narrative, Chen Feng silently acknowledged why his master and others were unaware of this relic.
Thirty years ago was precisely when the Fla Tiger Sect started its decline from Yun Gang.
And the significant developnt of Yun Gang stemd from this event.
"This relic is quite extensive, comparable to two Feng Provinces in area."
"The purpose of this trip for the three Grandmasters is to assist our Black Crystal Group in exploring a special place."
As she spoke, ng Anran instructed her subordinates to take out the materials. Chen Feng and others earnestly studied the docunts without saying much.
Among the many pictures, the most eye-catching was the scene of an Underground Maze.
"The Underground Maze, one of the ancient relics of Yun ng Forest, has long been developed and explored by the military and has had its internal spatial topology altered by a strong magnetic field explosion."
"After multiple attempts and verification by various parties, the place was confird to contain a residual power that greatly interferes with chanical instrunts and machinery."
Pausing in her speech, ng Anran looked at Chen Feng and the others.
"Moreover, this place has another special feature."
