Ant Lord in the Star Realm-Chapter 704 - 591: Law Divine Tree: Ghost King Sophora_2

The caravan moved slowly, rooting itself in a suitable spot.

Column Spotted stayed in the plaza with the other Flame Spiders of the Star Leaf Caravan.

White Ivy walked with the Star Leaf Spider King, following Ghost King Woonyoung, heading toward the Ghost King Grasshopper Tribe's settlement.

On the way, Ghost King Woonyoung continued to introduce the situation in the Red Crow Mountain United Kingdom to White Ivy.

The four clans—Ghost King Grasshopper, Red Cockroach, Narrow Butterfly, and Crimson Dragonfly—each had three leaders responsible for their own tribe's administrative affairs, war defenses, and production trade.

Above the twelve leaders, there was one Great Leader who commanded the entire kingdom.

The current Great Leader was named Dogtooth Violet.

This time, it was Dogtooth Violet Great Leader who specifically requested White Ivy, saying there was a large-scale deal that ordinary caravans couldn't handle.

At a fork in the road,

The Star Leaf Spider King headed alone to conduct specialized trade with Thunder Bamboo Peak. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

White Ivy followed Ghost King Woonyoung, crossing mountains and ridges, arriving beneath a great mountain, where a long, gently sloping hill stretched out, and a hardened, flat mountain road led straight to the mountainside.

On the left side of the mountain path sprawled an endless Sophora forest, while on the right was a boundless sea of bamboo.

Walking along, White Ivy looked left and right, unable to resist asking: "Ghost King Woonyoung, the bamboo sea over there—are those Dragon Bamboo?"

Ghost King Woonyoung: "That's right."

White Ivy: "Next door is the Dragon Bamboo Continent..."

Ghost King Woonyoung: "Yes. The neighboring continent is named after that plant."

White Ivy: "And anything else?"

Ghost King Woonyoung: "Ordinary Dragon Bamboo blooms and bears fruit only once every fifty years."

White Ivy: "Fifty years? Then, why do you plant it? To cultivate Divine-Given Seeds? That chance is extraordinarily low."

Ghost King Woonyoung: "White Ivy Spider King, that's a technique we don't share publicly. If you're interested, you can try consulting Dogtooth Violet Great Leader."

This question touched upon the secret cultivation techniques unique to Red Crow Mountain, so White Ivy wisely refrained from asking further.

At the end of the mountain road lay a flat, earthen clearing, where a wild Magnoliaceae Divine-Given Seed more than three hundred meters tall stood.

Beneath the tree, a Ghost King Grasshopper Warrior was already waiting.

Ghost King Woonyoung respectfully said, "Dogtooth Violet Great Leader! This is White Ivy Spider King."

Dogtooth Violet Great Leader lightly tapped his tentacle in greeting, "White Ivy Spider King! Welcome to Red Crow Mountain."

"Greetings, Dogtooth Violet Great Leader!"

White Ivy replied with effort, eyeing Ghost King Woonyoung, then Dogtooth Violet Great Leader, inwardly astonished.

Ghost King Woonyoung's size was normal—about 3.5 meters in length. The other Ghost King Grasshopper Warriors encountered along the way were also about 3.5 meters. Across the continent, half of the Insect Clan had this average build.

But this Dogtooth Violet Great Leader was different, especially robust—at least five meters long, with six sturdy legs. Overall, he was more than twice as massive as his fellow warriors.

—Born colossal, so he became Great Leader?

—Or became Great Leader, and after using something good, ended up colossal?

White Ivy weighed this silently.

"Great Leader, White Ivy Spider King, you two talk. I'll take my leave!"

Knowing this was a serious discussion, Ghost King Woonyoung tactfully withdrew, shooing away a few Little Warriors playing below in the woods as he left.

Dogtooth Violet Great Leader invited White Ivy to the stone table beneath the tree, but unlike how Great Tribes usually entertained distinguished guests, he did not produce any specialty Origin Force Food.

He said nothing, simply fixed White Ivy with a scrutinizing stare.

White Ivy, puzzled and a bit uncomfortable under the gaze, a flash of red and green in his eyes, was secretly shocked: the carapace blocked him—he couldn't see the other's soul!

Pure carapace defense alone thwarted the proud visual abilities he prided himself on!

White Ivy secretly activated his Soul-Setting Ability again.

Once more, he was shocked.

The Soul-Setting Ability couldn't sense the other's soul either.

—This carapace is way too tough?

—Could it be enhanced by a Divine-Grade Fruit?

White Ivy was just about to try a different vision ability...

Dogtooth Violet Great Leader suddenly spoke: "Soul-Setting Fruit, Soul-Setting Ability, top-level soul system detection ability. So it seems it was indeed the White Ivy Spider King who traded it to Yuezuo Mountain, and from there it indirectly ended up with us at Red Crow Mountain."

White Ivy: "Yes. The Crimson Moss Beetle King helped me exchange it for a Divine-Grade Fruit with Fire Talent."

White Ivy didn't like to beat around the bush, so he asked straightforwardly: "Dogtooth Violet Great Leader, I heard you invited me to make a big deal?"

"Exactly! But not just any insect can conduct this deal."

Dogtooth Violet Great Leader was direct as well, asking: "White Ivy Spider King, you just broke through to Spider King? That would mean, at Lord-Level you were already publicly claiming to have access to almost all types of Divine-Grade Fruit? Before we talk, I need to know—how much of what you said is exaggerated? What's the truth?"

Is my strength being questioned?

White Ivy didn't answer, instead flashed his six-element abilities.

Dogtooth Violet Great Leader: "Missing one—Water System."

White Ivy: "I command two types of Divine-Grade Fruit that grant Water Elemental Talent. Awakening is only a matter of time."

Dogtooth Violet Great Leader: "What about Strength System and Life System?"

White Ivy: "As far as I know, there's no Divine God-Given Seed for the Strength System on the continent. As for the Life System, it's out there—I'm trying to find out its place of origin."

Dogtooth Violet Great Leader asked: "Soul System?"

White Ivy: "Never heard of it."

Dogtooth Violet Great Leader: "Theoretically, there should also be Divine-Grade Fruits that grant Soul System Talent—they're just extremely rare."

Dogtooth Violet Great Leader: "White Ivy Spider King, how about Divine-Grade Fruits that grant abilities? I'm aware of Divine-Grade Molan Seed. Besides the Molan Seed and Soul-Setting Fruit, are there any other powerful abilities?"

White Ivy: "Depends on your needs. Earth System? Wood Element? Strength System? Fire System? Combat? Scouting? Healing? Kingdom governance? Or other special types of abilities? Tell me what you need, I'll introduce and recommend, and if you're satisfied, I'll quote you a price."
