Chapter 458

458 Space Teleportation Portal

The floating canyon was a dangerous place formed by mountains and rivers that were floating in midair and half hidden in the fog.

Among them, broken cliffs and broken flows could be seen everywhere. Some were covered by fog, and some were swallowed up by the spatial rifts.

After confirming that Li Zhentian had personally entered the space-travel distortion to rescue the person with twin pupils, the four teams from the source ore shops traveled as quickly as possible.

At this moment, this place had already been established as a gathering place for many factions from the source ore shops and their allies.

Chen Yiming and the silver-winged woman crossed a mountain range. The scene in front of them changed, and they happened to see the floating canyon where people were gathered.

“The Seven Stars Source Ore Workshop is backed by the Seven Stars Group. They don’t belong to the abandoned world, nor are they a faction that developed in the Hidden Dragon Galaxy.”

“It’s said that they used the space teleportation portal to avoid the pursuit of unknown enemies and crossed the vast universe to reach the Hidden Dragon Galaxy. In the end, they chose to settle down in the abandoned world.”

The silver-winged woman briefly explained what she had learned about the space teleportation portals.

The reason why Chen Yiming’s main target was the Seven Stars Source Ore Workshop was because he needed the most reliable and mature space teleportation portal technology.

He did not want to cause any accidents. For example, if there were any abnormalities during the teleportation, the human spaceship fleet would encounter an uncontrollable risk.

Chen Yiming thought for a moment and asked, “What’s the status of Huang Zhongyun from the Seven Stars Source Ore Workshop in the Seven Stars Group?”

The silver-winged woman said, “Elder Huang is suffering from injuries caused by the natural laws. He’s at the level of the jade star realm, and it seems like he may die at any moment. I don’t think he’s part of the higher-ups anymore.”

Chen Yiming nodded. “It seems like this is really troublesome. With the threat of the Infinite Island Group, it will be difficult for the Seven Stars Group to trust an outsider. They might not even give us a chance to come into contact with them.”

Seeing this, the silver-winged woman thought that Chen Yiming was about to use force to resolve the problem.

She quickly said, “The Silver Wing Clan has always had a good relationship with the Seven Stars Source Ore Workshop. I can negotiate with Elder Huang first and get him to introduce us.”

“In addition, the Seven Stars Group has mastered many powerful array formations. Facing the pressure from the Infinite Island Group, they are the kind that can protect themselves among the factions behind the source ore shops.”

“Before a true crisis occurs, they might completely hide themselves away and disappear from the world.”

Hearing this, Chen Yiming quickly agreed to the suggestion.

It was indeed a good idea to have the silver-winged woman’s help. Of course, he would not place all his hopes on her. With the space anchor, he only needed a chance to go to the Seven Stars Group.

After making the decision, the two of them walked towards the gathering point in the floating canyon that was not far away.

Near the gathering point in the floating canyon, Chen Yiming and the silver-winged woman walked side by side and immediately received countless complicated gazes.

He knew that the silver-winged woman had many admirers. After all, she represented the silver-winged clan and was one of the geniuses of the younger generation.

Therefore, with her appearance, status, talent, and so on, she received even more attention than the most popular celebrity on the blue planet. It would not be an exaggeration to call her a goddess.

And the situation was exactly like that.

When the silver-winged woman walked over, the entrance of the gathering place fell silent. At least 80% of the gazes were on her legs.

Chen Yiming remained calm and collected as he thought to himself, “A bunch of losers. Your goddess has been taken by me. It’s useless to be envious or regretful.”

At this moment, the silver-winged woman took the initiative to hold Chen Yiming’s arm, openly displaying their relationship. In her opinion, this was necessary for declaring her independence, and the best way to deter her hidden competitors.

It had to be known that Chen Yiming had a record of suppressing the person with twin pupils. Sooner or later, his identity would be exposed. The silver-winged woman had no choice but to be cautious.

“…”

It was silent all around. Without a sound, countless hearts were broken.

Although no one knew who the man beside the silver-winged woman was, with his calm and confident gaze, they could tell at a glance that he had an extraordinary aura.

There was another point. If this man did not have the corresponding strength, it would be a disaster for him to expose his relationship with the silver-winged woman.

Of course, the possibility of this was very low. This could only comfort those who were weak. There was a high chance that he was so strong that he was not afraid of the silver-winged clan at all.

“So it’s him. Looks like that matter isn’t over yet.”

In the crowd, a genius from a large clan recognized Chen Yiming. He hadn’t missed the shocking battle a few days ago where the person with twin pupils had been defeated.

The floating canyon was originally a refuge for the teams from the source ore shops. First, Gao Shuai had arrived, and now, there was Chen Yiming.

In such a situation, even if they did nothing, trouble would continue to come looking for them.

Just as Chen Yiming and the silver-winged woman were about to leave to visit Huang Zhongyun.

“Brother, I thought something had happened and you weren’t coming!”

Gao Shuai shouted and quickly walked out of the depths of the gathering place.

“Tsk…”

Gasps rang out.

This time, the identity of the man beside the silver-winged woman could no longer be hidden. They had never seen him in person, but everyone present knew about the shocking battle.

The person with twin pupils, who was supposed to be on the path of invincibility, had actually been defeated in his second battle at the jade lake. He had been sent into the space-travel distortion and needed Li Zhentian to give up on Heaven Suppressing City to go and rescue him.

If the person with twin pupils could not quickly get back at him, this path of invincibility would naturally become a joke. Many people had already secretly made bets on how long it would take for the next battle to occur.

Chen Yiming sized up Gao Shuai and realized that he seemed to have gained a little more weight. His two small eyes were almost sunken in, and he was even further from being handsome.

Could it be that the food in this gathering place was too good? Or could it be that the teams from the source ore shops had treated him too well?

Or perhaps, after obtaining the spatial item, the problem of bringing the source ores to set up a terrifying killing array would be resolved. Sometimes, people would gain weight easily when they were relaxed.

“I’ll go and visit Elder Huang first,” the silver-winged woman whispered into Chen Yiming’s ear.

Chen Yiming nodded and the silver-winged woman turned to leave.

Gao Shuai walked over and winked. He teased softly, “Brother, you did it on purpose, right? How does it feel to take down the goddess?”

Chen Yiming’s expression was calm, as if he was ignoring all the gazes on him. He naturally wouldn’t admit it, and was prepared to do it again next time.

Soon, the two of them disappeared from the entrance of the gathering place.

In front of a cliff in the floating canyon, there were some flowers and plants all around, and a small valley shrouded in fog was in front of them.

“You’re looking for the location of the Seven Stars Group? That’s not easy to deal with. They’ve been communicating with the outside world using the Seven Stars Source Ore Workshop, so no one knows their exact location.”

“Furthermore, this Seven Stars Group is extremely good at hiding from the world. Even my prophecy ability is not effective. They will use special methods to block it.”

Gao Shuai shrugged and told the truth helplessly.

“So powerful? It seems that this Seven Stars Group can cross the universe and come here. It’s far from what the factions behind the other source ore shops can compare to.”

Chen Yiming analyzed the situation seriously and felt that this matter was tricky.

Of course, even in the abandoned world, there were definitely more than one or two factions that controlled the space teleportation portals. If it really did not work out, it was fine to switch his target to another faction.

“Of course. Actually, I suspect that this Seven Stars Group already has their own divine source ore expert. Otherwise, how is it that even after so many years, the other three divine source ore experts are not able to do anything about the Seven Stars Group?”

Gao Shuai revealed this news that had never been made public.

The Seven Stars Group and the factions behind the other source ore shops were not as harmonious as they seemed on the surface. They did not even have the intention to take the initiative to integrate into the abandoned world. Instead, they maintained an independent stance.

This way, no one knew the purpose of the Seven Stars Group coming to the abandoned world. No one knew its true strength. It could be said to be extremely mysterious.

“Could it be that the people from the Seven Stars Source Ore Workshop are all external members of the Seven Stars Group?”

Chen Yiming suddenly thought of a possibility.

If the strength of the Seven Stars Group was much stronger than expected, it was not impossible for someone at the jade star realm to be an external member.

Then, the two of them chatted for a while about the situation in the Seven Stars Group.

Soon, Chen Yiming realized that something was amiss. What was he expecting from Huang Zhongyun? It was obvious that Huang Zhongyun’s communication with the Seven Stars Group was only one-way.

At the moment, with the factions from the Infinite Island Group putting pressure on the source ore shops, as long as the Seven Stars Group was not stupid, they would hide themselves better.

In other words, the original Seven Stars Source Ore Workshop in Heaven Suppressing City and all the people inside had already been abandoned. The Seven Stars Group would no longer contact them.

“Brother, why don’t you consider the South Palace clan?”

“This Heavenly Eye bloodline has produced a large number of source ore experts over the generations. I wonder how rich they are. If we can get rid of the South Palace clan, we will naturally have everything we need.”

“In fact, with the South Palace clan’s foundation, the two of us would have accumulated enough resources to participate in the fight for the true dragon’s corpse.”

Soon, Gao Shuai made a suggestion.

After snatching Li Zhentian’s spatial item, he could not wait to make full use of it. Digging graves, stealing houses, and so on were all considered.

Chen Yiming remained calm and collected as he sized up Gao Shuai again.

His meaning was obvious. With this fat body, he was useless when it came to taking action. They would be going up against the South Palace clan and Li Zhentian, as well as countless elders at the level of the star evolution realm.

Chen Yiming wasn’t afraid of one or two of them who were at the level of the city ruler, but he wasn’t confident that he could break through their blockade if there were many of them.

After all, Chen Yiming could fight against someone at the level of the star evolution realm while only being at the jade star realm, but that didn’t mean he could crush them. Once the other side outnumbered him, he wouldn’t be able to do anything about it.

Gao Shuai instantly understood what he meant. His expression froze and he quickly explained, “It’s naturally not enough with just the two of us. The South Palace clan is not a pushover. Now, they have defected to become a faction In the Infinite Island Group.”

“We can consider playing a trick to lure the factions of the Infinite Island Group and the source ore shops into an all-out war. When the powerful elders are held back, we can launch a sneak attack on the South palace clan’s territory.”

Chen Yiming rolled his eyes.

This was no different from the original plan. They only set their target among the factions from the Infinite Island Group and chose to attack the South Palace clan.

Furthermore, if they started an all-out war, it was still unknown if they would be able to fight. After all, the factions behind the source ore shops were rather weak, and they had yet to reach an agreement to fight together.

What Chen Yiming urgently needed was the space teleportation portal.

The two of them discussed it for a while longer, but in the end, they could not come up with a feasible plan. The point of contention was the space teleportation portal. Even if it appeared, it would be the trump card of an overlord faction.

They could either borrow it through normal means, or it would be like destroying the treasure vault of the city ruler.

However, how could such an opportunity appear so easily? It was not impossible for them to return empty-handed even after putting in so much effort.

In the blink of an eye, another few days had passed.

The floating canyon was relatively remote in the south mountain range. It was very far from the restricted areas and dangerous places where source ores were produced. Usually, almost no one would step foot there.

Although the people in the gathering place were a little flustered by the arrival of Gao Shuai and Chen Yiming, it might be even more dangerous to leave. Therefore, they could only make do and stay.

At the same time, news of what had happened in the south mountain range over the past few days spread to the gathering place. Everyone was very concerned.

“B*stard! The city ruler flattened the ruins of the Heaven Suppressing City with one palm strike. All the creatures that stayed there were killed. He announced that he wants to rebuild Heaven Suppressing City on the same spot.”

“Not only that, but he also announced that the Li clan’s treasure vault had been looted by Gao Shuai and Chen Yiming. All the treasures obtained over years of accumulation had fallen into their hands.”

“There’s something even more shocking. The South Palace clan actually sent out people overnight to destroy the surrounding 18 sects and clans. They openly betrayed the factions behind the source ore shops.”

“Tsk! This floating canyon is our refuge. When do you think those two will leave? As long as they are here, we won’t be able to sleep peacefully.”

“What nonsense are you spouting! Do you want to die?”

“You’re not letting me say anything? I keep feeling like I’ve been tricked. That fat man…”

Huang Zhongyun sent Chen Yiming and the silver-winged woman out politely. The rest of the team from the Seven Stars Source Ore Workshop followed behind in fear.

“Sir, I’m really unable to help. We haven’t been able to contact the group. Previously, they only asked us to escape with the other source ores.”

When Huang Zhongyun said this, he had a bad feeling.

Chen Yiming had only displayed his powerful combat strength. He could only rejoice that Gao Shuai wasn’t involved.

As time passed, everyone became afraid of Gao Shuai. After all, this person had a special prophecy ability. Who knew if he was a friend or a foe?

Therefore, Gao Shuai appeared to be on the side of the factions from the source ore shops, and used his influence to help the factions from the source ore shops join forces.

However, the factions from the source ore shops still tried their best to shirk the responsibility. Most of them still had the intention to hide from the world.

Chen Yiming’s expression remained unchanged, and he didn’t say anything.

If not for the fact that the silver-winged woman hoped to show enough sincerity, he would have been prepared to leave the gathering place after failing on the first day and visiting again every day. After all, he had gained enough from the treasure vault of the city ruler.

Even if all the source ores in the entire gathering place were converted into Skill Points, it would no longer be able to bring about a qualitative change in Chen Yiming’s strength.

In other words, he had higher standards and no longer cared about the quantity of source ores in the gathering place.

Soon, he left with the silver-winged woman.
