Everyone ascended, but I didn't get on board

Chapter 154 Circular Navigation Stations

After confirming that the three little ones were all fine, Qiu Ci set off for Fengbo Sea.

Fengbo Sea is a sea area located at the junction of Michuan Continent and Lanru Continent. Qiu Ci had already passed through it once before by taking the cross-land ship from Yuanhai City. This time, since she was alone, she didn't need to take the cross-land ship again and flew directly into that sea area.

From afar, she could see that familiar area of ​​lightning and thunder. Although it was only a few hundred meters away, it was as if the two sides were separated by some special force. On this side, the sky was clear and blue, while on the other side, lightning and thunder raged.

Qiu Ci cast a protective spell and flew into the lightning domain. Instantly, all that remained around her was a howling gale and rumbling thunder. She released her divine sense to search for the giant wheel ring she had seen before, but found only emptiness.

The entire Fengbo Sea seemed to be within a very special magnetic field; even the strongest divine sense, when probed into it, would be like a mud ox sinking into the sea—unable to discern anything. She then had the system try it out, and sure enough, the damn system couldn't scan for any physical objects either. It seemed she would have to find them herself.

Fortunately, with her current cultivation level at the Celestial Realm, these gales and lightning bolts have no effect on her at all, and she can move freely through them.

Qiu Ci searched for most of the day, looking through almost the entire area, but strangely, she found nothing.

what's the situation?
Could she have guessed wrong? The residual psionic energy in Wuhe County had nothing to do with the circular shape she had seen before.

Or perhaps she really did see things wrong back then.

impossible.

Qiu Ci felt that she must have overlooked something. There was definitely something special in Fengbo Sea, but she just hadn't discovered it yet, or perhaps she was looking for it the wrong way.

After all, such a large ring, if it were really that easy to find, with so many transcontinental ships traveling between the two continents, it's impossible that no one would have seen it; the news of the ring should have spread long ago.

However, there have never been any rumors of this kind on either of the continents. Even the former Lord Tang of Yuanhai City only said that this area was very dangerous, without mentioning any giant objects like the ring.

Therefore, it is highly likely that this ring either appears very rarely or only under specific circumstances.

Aren't those remnants in Wuhe County also because the insect system crossed state lines to bind Di Zifan?

Thinking this, Qiu Ci searched even more carefully, but still found nothing. Okay, I'm sure, just searching like this won't work; I need to find a way to make the ring appear on its own. But how?

She knew only limited information about the ring; everything was based on her speculation without any supporting evidence. All she had seen so far was the residual spiritual energy in Wuhe County.

and many more.

Psychic!

She thought of something and reached for the black bracelet on her wrist. The next moment, the bracelet turned into a black liquid, which then slowly condensed in front of her into a machine wearing black armor.

"Attack the area ahead with all your might!" Qiu Ci pointed directly at the thunderclouds filling the sky ahead.

Drip!

The gem on the psionic machine's head flickered, and in an instant, a flash of black light sent it flying.

The next moment, a loud rumble occurred.

The area that was originally shrouded in dark clouds was suddenly filled with a series of explosions. A black figure darted through the clouds like a meteor, causing everything in its path to explode. Powerful spiritual energy spread outwards, even dissipating the thunderclouds in the sky. The entire space seemed to be twisting and rumbling.

Then, a strange buzzing sound rang out all around.

Several white streaks appeared out of thin air, resembling giant wind blades, slashing towards the psionic machine. However, the psionic machine was too fast, and the white streaks couldn't keep up, all missing their mark. "Alright, stop, come back!" Seeing that the psionic machine was about to counterattack, Qiu Ci quickly ordered.

The psionic machine paused for a moment before flying back and transforming back into a bracelet on the wrist.

Qiu Ci then turned to look in the direction from which the white rainbow had just struck. Sure enough, a huge metal ring, so large that it blotted out the sky, appeared between the layers of clouds. Its size almost occupied half of the sky, and the cold, hard metal material gleamed with a faint silver light. Large numbers of data symbols were flashing on the ring.

It finally appeared.

She had searched that direction several times and seen nothing, but now it was so clearly in front of her. Sure enough, she was right. The ring only appeared under specific circumstances, such as when it was attacked or when it sensed spiritual energy. The white rainbow just now was probably its self-defense mechanism.

Without hesitation, Qiu Ci flew directly towards the circular area.

"Master, its defense attack program hasn't been deactivated yet!" the little ball of light anxiously reminded him.

"It's alright!" Qiu Ci said confidently, if it was a product of Earth.

As expected, the white rainbow did not reappear, and Qiu Ci got closer and closer until a barrier seemed to appear in front of her, as if some transparent protection was between her and the ring. She raised her hand to touch it, but found that she passed through it directly without being hindered. At the same time, she heard two dinging sounds in her ears.

The next moment, I felt as if I had passed through a layer of something.

The scenery before them changed instantly. The howling wind and thunder suddenly disappeared, the surroundings brightened, and the dark clouds overhead were replaced by a clear blue sky.

Even though she was still in the air, she suddenly stepped on solid ground, as if there was a transparent platform in the air. She couldn't help but step on it hard, and the transparent ground immediately rippled with golden halos, as if it were equipped with some kind of sensor light strip.

All around was quiet, except for a huge ring that stretched across half the sky floating in front of her, the very one she had just seen.

Just as Qiu Ci was about to take a closer look, a crisp electronic voice suddenly rang out in the air.

[Dear passengers, welcome to terminal B1536. Please state the destination mainland number and coordinates you wish to transfer to.]

"..."

This ring really is a continental passageway made on Earth!

Qiu Ci looked around curiously, and after a while, she asked, "What are you?"

As soon as she finished speaking, light gathered in front of her, and in no time a semi-transparent holographic image appeared before her. It was a woman in a blue uniform, showing her perfect eight teeth and smiling gently.

Hello, dear passenger, I am your guide, number 001.

"You... are the main brain system here?" Qiu Ci asked, taken aback.

[No, passenger. I am merely the intelligent voice AI at Terminal B1536. The terminal only provides passengers with flights between continents and does not require a high-end computing mainframe program.]

"Oh." So it wasn't the mainframe. No wonder it didn't seem very bright. After thinking for a moment, it asked, "Are there many such airport stations?"

[Hello passenger, there are a total of 78451 flight stops across the three continents.]

"So many!" Qiu Ci was somewhat surprised. She originally thought that the ring was just a teleportation tool and there was only one. She didn't expect there to be so many. Did Blue Star set one up on every continent back then?
