Dragon Cypress corrected: "At least two trees. Many insects suspect there is a third."

Red Peach: "Dragon Cypress Ant King, you have monopolized one tree, do the other insects have no objections?"

Dragon Cypress: "Before capturing Blue Island, definitely no objections, afterward, it will be about strength..."

...

Heliotrope hurriedly arrived.

After a brief chat, Dragon Cypress bid farewell and left.

Upon exiting the cave, just as he spread his wings to fly, Dragon Cypress saw Ink Orchid lying by the side of the ant path leading to Xianglan Mountain, with pod fragments scattered in front of him.

Ink Orchid, always impatient, couldn't wait to return to Xianglan Mountain before eating.

Dragon Cypress pretended not to see, and unhurriedly flew over Ink Orchid's head, returning to the mountain to make arrangements.

…

Black Persimmon used a Divine-Given Seed with Life Talent to ascend to Insect King while sleeping.

Dragon Cypress and Black Leaf led troops to guard.

Ink Orchid also stayed at Xianglan Mountain, focused on using Ghost King Sophora Seeds, gradually increasing the dosage daily from 10, 15, to 20 seeds.

Eight days later, Snow Velvet Spider King arrived.

Dragon Cypress went forward to greet him.

Snow Velvet Spider King glanced toward the Shandong Reservoir.

"Did you acquire the Ghost King Sophora Seeds?"

"Yes, Ink Orchid started eating them long ago."

"You two are quite speedy..."

Snow Velvet Spider King casually asked: "Last year, did Ink Orchid not condense a new Ability Divine Pattern?"

"Not yet, but from my observation, Corrosive Wind is almost accomplished."

"Incredible Elemental Talent."

Snow Velvet Spider King sighed in admiration and asked: "Has Dragon Cypress Ant King decided? Will he participate in the upcoming war at Wave Tree Bay and Blue Island?"

Dragon Cypress: "We'll see! I'll take Cypress and Silver Cypress to watch."

Snow Velvet Spider King: "Alright. Then I'll inform Dark Maple Dragonfly King to assign you a task to guard the rear fortress."

Dragon Cypress: "Pick a good location, directly facing Yu'e Island, convenient for observation."

Snow Velvet Spider King: "Then it will be the fortress at Shizhi Mountain where I took you last time."

Dragon Cypress: "Good!"

Brief agreement.

Snow Velvet Spider King asked: "Is there an Assistant King breaching the limits? Are they evolving into an Insect King?"

Dragon Cypress: "Yes, it's Black Persimmon. Two Divine-Grade Fruits with Life Talent arrived this year, the other is arranged for Black Peach, which can also ascend to King-Level."

"Black Peach... the Assistant King with sealed eyes?"

Snow Velvet Spider King became interested and asked: "I wonder if King-Level power can break the seals."

Dragon Cypress: "Red Crow Mountain arranged for warrior testing. Those warriors already reached Insect King level, but reportedly, it's not possible..."

Walking and chatting.

Dragon Cypress accompanied Snow Velvet Spider King to Rednan Mountain for transactions.

Afterward, Snow Velvet Spider King hastily bid farewell and left.

...

Thirty days later, Black Persimmon awoke from sleep, successfully ascending to King-Level.

Ink Orchid also completed eating 3000 Ghost King Sophora Seeds, and then entered the cave to sleep and concentrate on condensing the divine pattern.

Three days later, he awoke, molted once, awakened the Ancestral Divine Power, his body size increased remarkably, stabilizing at just over 5.5 meters.

Primordial Energy, strength, speed, life force, carapace, tentacles, eyes, all aspects doubled.

Ink Orchid's combat power doubled and surged.

...

It was already late spring.

The spring search for Divine-Given Seeds should not be neglected.

Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid swiftly patrolled around Cloud Trace Continent.

Assistant King distribution was slightly adjusted, leaving only Fragrant Cypress, Black Leaf, and Black Sophora responsible at Xianglan Mountain.

Black Persimmon accompanied them to Rainbow Island.

Black Peach used a Divine-Grade Fruit with Life System Talent to sleep and evolve.

Dragon Cypress, Round Cypress, Black Birch, Black Persimmon, Rainbow Poplar guarded outside the cave.

After 35 days,

Black Peach awoke from sleep.

Quickly completed Molting Evolution, after a brief introspection, screamed and ran out of the cave.

"Great King! My eyes... my eyes..."

"..."

Insects guarding outside the cave all released spiritual power to check.

The seal in the shape of a Luoli Grass Leaf was still intact.

But wasn't this expected?

Dragon Cypress asked without much concern: "Have you tried it? Can Wood Primordial Energy at the Insect King level grind away the seal's power?"

Black Peach wailed: "Great King, I tried, but it still didn't work..."

"..."

The atmosphere outside the Ant Nest's entrance grew heavy as everyone subconsciously looked up at the sky.

—Exactly how evolved is that Round Purple Flame Spider high above the moon? Even a random Primordial Energy Imprint, King-Level power cannot shake it.

Dragon Cypress sighed, comforting: "Black Peach, it's not a big issue. If Insect King doesn't work, try again after breaking through to King-Level. You don't need to do anything else, just focus on caring for the Life Seed of mine and the Second King."

"Okay..."

Black Peach cried: "Great King, there's an even worse thing..." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Dragon Cypress: "???"

Black Peach: "I comprehended a Wood Element visual-type ability. This ability is wasted!"

Dragon Cypress: "Wood Element visual ability? Then try using ability Primordial Energy to break the seal's power?"

Black Peach: "Tried it, even less successful. The ability was suppressed and couldn't be activated at all."

—How ruthless a spider!

Dragon Cypress frowned again, looked up at the sky for two seconds, then asked: "Black Peach, upon ascending to Insect King, how many abilities did you comprehend?"

Black Peach: "Only four. With one visual ability scrapped, only three left, Great King."

Black Peach's sorrowful tone turned, unable to hide excitement, said: "My Flourish Ability evolved!"

After speaking, Wood Primordial Energy condensed into tentacles, gently swaying, shooting a green beam at the trunk of Rainbow Parasol Tree at the cave's entrance.

A thriving green leaf imprint emblazoned on the trunk, slowly absorbing Natural Primordial Force, converting it into Wood Primordial Energy to inject into the trunk.

Black Peach's Flourish Ability evolved into a marking ability similar to Red Crow Pattern, capable of sustained effectiveness.

These two marking abilities precisely combined to form a Divine Mark Ability.

"Black Peach, nice! This ability is good!"

Dragon Cypress praised.

Dragon Cypress also possessed Flourish ability, and could definitely learn and mimic this power.
