It was dawn.
The silver-winged woman leaned into Chen Yiming’s arms. Her silver wings spread out to cover the two of them, and the air was filled with a chaotic aura.
She said softly, “Since you said that I’m yours from now on, I’ll obey you from now on. I still have a lot of source ores stored at my house in the clan. I’ll give them all to you when the time comes.”
“In addition, if you participate in the battle against the factions behind the source ore shops, you have to be careful of the ambitions of the city ruler. Many years ago, everyone suspected that this person had a huge hidden plan, just like the appearance of the person with twin pupils this time…”
Chen Yiming listened quietly as he savored the feeling of having a beauty in his arms.
He had gotten into her bed first before getting to know her. The silver-winged woman’s name was called Yin Lan in the Daxia Kingdom’s language. She was one of the many children of the current head of the silver-winged clan. According to her talent, she was not the strongest, but ranked fifth in the clan.
The rank of her talent represented the level of importance she received and the amount of resources she could mobilize.
To Chen Yiming’s surprise, Yin Lan didn’t object to following him from now on. In fact, she felt like she had escaped from her cage and could now control her own fate. She also admired his strength.
The reason was that the silver-winged clan was a bloodline clan. Usually, in order for the next generation to successfully inherit their bloodline talent, most of them married within the clan.
Therefore, even though Yin Lan was a genius of the silver-winged clan’s younger generation, there were only two choices waiting for her.
They could either marry someone from her clan or become a link between the factions and marry geniuses with higher talent.
Chen Yiming had naturally reached the level of a genius. If the silver-winged clan found out about this, unless they were willing to pay a huge price, they could only take the loss and pretend that nothing had happened.
When considering what happened with the Roc clan and many other species of the same level, it was useless even if they chased him across half of the Hidden Dragon Galaxy.
As time passed, Chen Yiming would only become stronger and stronger. At that time, it was hard to say who would be the one lying in ambush for the other.
Not long after, Chen Yiming subconsciously raised his hand and touched the back of Yin Lan’s long, fair legs. Blood surged up in his body. He laid with her again.
Coupled with their exertions from the previous night, if not for the fact that the other party’s physique was not weak and that she was also at the level of the star condensation realm, she would not have been able to withstand it.
After that, the two of them spent some time together before packing up and leaving.
To Chen Yiming, with the silver-winged woman by his side, it would be much more convenient for him to gather information about the situation or adjust his plans.
The city ruler lord had destroyed the South Palace Source Ore Workshop, so there was no doubt that the source ores were collected and hidden somewhere unknown. Chen Yiming had some plans for this batch of source ores.
The person with twin pupils might be the key to breaking in.
…
Near Xuanyang City, Chen Yiming climbed up a mountain. From the peak, he could see the full view of the city in the distance.
The silver-winged woman entered the city on his behalf to gather the latest information about the south mountain range, as well as the movements of the city ruler and the person with twin pupils.
The source ores he carried with him had turned into dust, and the system absorbed all the essence energy in them.
Chen Yiming

Level: Star Condensation Realm

“I only earned a little over a million Skill Points from the source ores Yin Lan and the snakeman were carrying from the Seven Stars Source Ore Workshop.”
In reality, it was already quite a lot. However, Chen Yiming had gained over 10 million Skill Points from the Golden Sword Source Ore Workshop and the Illusion Source Ore Workshop.
Compared to 10 million, one million was indeed not much. It could only be said to be a small gain.
Not long after, the silver-winged woman turned into a silver light and used her speed talent to escape everyone’s gazes. She returned to the meeting point they had agreed upon.
The silver-winged woman descended from the sky and retracted her silver wings. She walked over with her long and fair legs, carrying a bowl of warm food.
She was very satisfied with Chen Yiming as her partner. Everyone wanted to cultivate and have extraordinary talent. To her, who had cultivated to the level of a god, she valued cultivation even more.
Since Chen Yiming used his spatial ability, his identity was obvious.
He was the person who had killed the genius of the Roc Clan on the Flying Cloud Planet that made the Roc Clan and many other influential factions unable to do anything even though they made a big fuss over it.
Becoming a partner with such a man was naturally beneficial to her cultivation in the long term. As long as she did not die from today’s investment, she would be repaid countless times in the future.
Chen Yiming quickly took the food from her.
The food was prepared by a famous chef in Xuanyang City. There was naturally no need to mention the taste. Few people who had eaten it were dissatisfied with the taste.
Chen Yiming took a small bite and his appetite was aroused.
Then, he wolfed it down and quickly finished it all.
The silver-winged woman stayed quietly at the side. After just one night, her figure seemed to have shed its innocence and become mature and charming.
This was a change in her aura.
“Is it enough? If not, I’ll go back and buy more,” the silver-winged woman asked as Chen Yiming put down the empty container.
Chen Yiming pretended to burp and said, “It tastes good, but forget about going back to buy it. Let me look forward to it next time.”
Any delicacy that was eaten every day would no longer be delicious.
The silver-winged woman smiled and said, “Time is too tight this time. I spent most of my time gathering information. When I have time, I’ll cook it for you myself.”
Chen Yiming raised an eyebrow, surprised.
After all, the silver-winged woman was a genius in the silver-winged clan. Logically speaking, she would spend all her time and energy on cultivation. How could she know how to cook?
The silver-winged woman pouted. “Don’t you believe me?”
Chen Yiming smiled and said, “As long as it’s your cooking, I’ll eat it.”
When the silver-winged woman heard this, her face immediately turned red. She decided that she had to find an opportunity to prove that what she said was true.
Soon, the topic changed to serious matters.
The silver-winged woman said seriously, “The news that the Heaven Suppressing Army attacked the feathered snake clan’s resupplying stronghold has already spread to many large cities. However, the city ruler has already said that it was someone pretending to be from the Heaven Suppressing Army.”
Chen Yiming nodded and asked, “It shouldn’t be so easy to get rid of this blame, right? After all, it hasn’t been long since the South Palace Source Ore Workshop was wiped out.”
The silver-winged woman smiled and said, “That’s indeed the case. The factions that were supporting the teams from the source ore shops and helping them to retreat to the floating canyon were shocked. They didn’t expect the Heaven Suppressing Army to have the intention to start an all-out war.”
“Coincidentally, the person with the twin pupils bloodline has already secretly left the Heaven Suppressing City, causing the outside world to suspect that he is involved.”
This was indeed quite a coincidence. At the city ruler’s banquet, Li Tengfei had displayed combat strength that could suppress all the geniuses.
Under normal circumstances, the powerful elders above the jade star realm were basically being watched by many factions. Ordinary gods at the jade star realm could not have such overwhelming strength.
Indeed, only the person with the twin pupils bloodline had the ability to wipe out the genius snakeman and the feathered snake clan’s resupplying stronghold. They could not even escape, and he was not afraid of the invisible pressure brought about by the various factions.
Chen Yiming thought about it and decided to continue lying low. His next target was the person with the twin pupils bloodline.
When the silver-winged woman entered the city, he had already had a vague plan. Instead of saying that he was targeting the person with twin pupils, it would be more accurate to say that he was targeting the source ores hidden away by the city ruler’s faction.
However, the feasibility of this plan was built on the person with twin pupils being heavily injured and the city ruler being lured out of the city. Otherwise, he would be a fool to attack the city ruler who was above the jade star realm.
…
“Brother, don’t mess around. If we send the person with twin pupils into the space-travel distortion, Li Zhentian will go crazy. At that time, all the previous plans will be thrown into chaos.”
It wasn’t difficult for Chen Yiming to find Gao Shuai.
The two of them had already made a secret agreement in advance. Furthermore, they had secretly escorted the teams from the source ore shops to the floating canyon. Finding the teams from the source ore shops was almost equivalent to finding Gao Shuai.
At this moment, Gao Shuai had an envious expression on his face because Chen Yiming and the silver-winged woman were traveling together. But when he heard his plan, he frowned.
Chen Yiming frowned and said, “For the city ruler to nurture a person with the twin pupils bloodline, and be a leading faction among the Infinite Island Group, it’s clear how strong his faction is.”
“Now that the source ore shops are retreating, the city ruler will definitely not expect anyone to dare to target the treasure vault in his base.”
The reason why he had looked for Gao Shuai was because of his special prophecy ability. Otherwise, if he charged forward alone and turned the entire Heaven Suppressing City upside down, he might still not be able to find the treasure vault.
The silver-winged woman at the side stayed silent and did not interrupt them.
In her heart, she was also shocked. Targeting the treasure vault of the city ruler was too bold. It was unbelievable.
This was equivalent to targeting the silver-winged clan’s treasure vault. She did not dare to imagine how much trouble it would cause if it really happened.
Gao Shuai had a bitter expression on his face as he explained, “Brother, the source ore shops have more source ores than Heaven Suppressing City. Can’t we just find an easier target? Why do we have to provoke the ruler of Heaven Suppressing City?”
Since Chen Yiming had brought the silver-winged woman to look for him, there was no need to hide the fact that the two of them had the intention to secretly target the factions behind the source ore shops.
In the eyes of the factions behind the source ore shops, Gao Shuai was currently making a contribution to help them, so he did not want to introduce any unnecessary variables at this moment.
Chen Yiming could understand that, but he couldn’t tell Gao Shuai that if he took over the treasure vault belonging to the city ruler, he would have a high chance of gathering enough Skill Points to upgrade at least one of his talents.
If he directly gathered enough Skill Points to upgrade two talents, he would not need to hide from the city ruler. If he was strong enough, he would kill the other party if he dared to chase after him.
At this moment, after Gao Shuai finished explaining, everyone suddenly fell silent.
Chen Yiming couldn’t think of a suitable reason to convince the other party. He turned to look at the teams from the source ore shops in the distance.
“If I obtain all the source ores from the four teams that are fleeing, as well as the source ores that were distributed to attract the pursuers, it should be barely enough to upgrade one talent by a level.”
“Upgrading a talent by one level, such as the Undying Body talent or the Giant Talent, will definitely be a large increase in strength. It can also increase the feasibility of fighting against the city ruler.”
Gao Shuai naturally noticed it when Chen Yiming looked at the teams from the source ore shops and shouted in his heart, “Brother, you can’t do this. If you rob them of all their belongings, aren’t you forcing them to commit suicide to take responsibility for their dereliction of duty?”
This was not only a possibility, but something that would most likely happen.
It had to be known that the source ores were the target of various factions. If all the source ores in the teams from the source ore shops were snatched away, in order to keep this a secret, it was very likely that the elders at the jade star realm who were already not in the best physical condition would take the lead and commit suicide.
Gao Shuai thought about it again. If he didn’t agree, the heavy bet he had placed on Chen Yiming might be wasted. It was easy to destroy trust, but difficult to build it.
The silver-winged woman felt their silent communication and was extremely anxious. She was naturally on Chen Yiming’s side, but she couldn’t think of a good solution.
In the end, Gao Shuai said dejectedly, “It’s not impossible to ambush the person with twin pupils and send him into the space-travel distortion, but we can’t torture the teams from the source ore shops anymore.”
As Gao Shuai agreed to it, he didn’t forget to set out some conditions. He had already guessed that Chen Yiming was pretending to be a general of the Heaven Suppressing Army and was chasing after the source ores left behind to attract the pursuers.
Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Chen Yiming comforted him. “Don’t worry, Gao Shuai. You don’t have to make an appearance. You just have to find the location of the treasure vault. When the time comes, I promise I’ll play with the city ruler.”
Gao Shuai’s face twitched. He wanted to refute him, but he thought better of it.
The city ruler was naturally not stupid. If the treasure vault that had been hidden well was suddenly found, the first suspect would be him. Who asked him to walk around in a high-profile manner in the south mountain range?
…
Now that the plan to deal with the person with twin pupils, Li Tengfei, had been decided, the rest was much easier. The ambush location that Gao Shuai and Chen Yiming had decided on was a dangerous place where the space-travel distortion appeared.
Naturally, they would use the teams from the source ore shops to attract Li Tengfei. What Chen Yiming needed to do was to attack the troops led by the generals of the Heaven Suppressing Army.
This way, if they still wanted to continue chasing after the teams from the source ore shops, the person with twin pupils could not just watch from the sidelines. Instead, he had to fight them personally.
Not long after, in a small forest, before they left, Chen Yiming and the silver-winged woman laid together again.
Since he had to frequently attack the troops from the Heaven Suppressing Army, he naturally needed to use the space anchor to quickly teleport away. It was naturally impossible to bring someone along with him.
Chen Yiming had arranged for the silver-winged woman to go to the vicinity of Heaven Suppressing City to wait for his good news.
At this moment, the silver-winged woman leaned into Chen Yiming’s arms and said softly, “Be careful. The space in the space-travel distortion is unpredictable. One step can lead to heaven, and another step can lead to hell.”
“After the person with twin pupils falls into the trap, if you can just stop the other party from returning to the abandoned world for a moment, the corresponding coordinates will no longer be at their original location. There’s no need to fight the other party to the death.”
Chen Yiming smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I’m familiar with the space-travel distortion. The person with twin pupils has just appeared and lacks experience. Not to mention that he’s not my match, even if he has some strength, I have plenty of ways to deal with him. Just wait for my good news.”
“Yes.” The silver-winged woman nodded lightly, and her soft body pressed even closer to him. Seeing that this action was not enough, she repeated it again.
Of course, Chen Yiming couldn’t say no to this.
