Ant Lord in the Star Realm

Chapter 902 - 656: Umbrella Bird

Dragon Cypress returns from afar, Ink Orchid personally sails out to greet him, with White Willow and Red Moonseed following closely.

"Dragon Cypress, how did it go?"

"How did what go?"

"What did you go to Blue Island for?"

"To study."

"Did you learn anything?"

"Of course."

"The Great King is mighty."

"The Great King personally landed on the island to ask questions, surely he learned something."

"What did the Great King learn?"

Dragon Cypress: "..."

What kind of observation skills do you all have?

Dragon Cypress retorted: "Didn’t you notice? Earlier, when I was flying, I wasn’t flapping my wings."

Ink Orchid: "???"

Red Moonseed: "Great King, weren’t you gliding over?"

White Willow: "Gliding shouldn’t be that fast! I thought it was odd."

Dragon Cypress: "A dragonfly’s insight is indeed a bit sharper than a mantis and a jifeng. This is a flying technique I recently learned..."

White Willow and Red Moonseed don’t have Wind System talent, they just listened.

Mountain Lord Ink Orchid’s Awakening Wind System talent, having the most Wind System abilities, also has an ability to manipulate airflow to accelerate suddenly, has the Flourish Ability, and has wings, can be learned.

While explaining, Dragon Cypress also demonstrated a couple of times. Ink Orchid watched with shining eyes and started trying it too.

Red Moonseed, following closely alongside Dragon Cypress, asked:

"Dragon Cypress Ant King, did you see the Ant King Eddy Rockfish?"

"I did see. It’s indeed a newly enlightened ’Kirin’ Ant King."

"How’s the talent?"

"For an insect that can comprehend ’Kirin’, the talent cannot be bad."

"How about the Kirin Beast Ant King and Kirin Beast Beetle King?"

"Saw them too. Blue Island has no roving merchant trade, the growth of the Kirin Beast Ant King has reached its peak, and there’s not much room for improvement. That Kirin Beast Beetle King’s talent is exceptionally high, and its growth speed is astonishingly fast. In the next big war, its Kirin Beast could reach a length of 800 meters."

"Terrifying!"

Even White Willow couldn’t help but say: "Doesn’t that mean in another 30 years, it’ll definitely be a kilometer-long Kirin Beast?"

Dragon Cypress: "That’s right. From understanding ’Kirin’ to mastering it, reaching the kilometer peak will take about fifty or sixty years..."

Casually chatting, they returned to Rainbow Island.

Dragon Cypress began to get busy, continuously trying, proactively activating the Adaptive Evolution ability, undergoing several moltings, optimizing body structure, moderately evolving wings to be broader and shorter, two rows of backward-facing spines sprouted at the back of the head and on the sides of the thoracic shell.

Dragon Cypress spent half a month adjusting to an optimal shape that encompassed both types of flying modes. Flapping flight was light and agile, while gliding flight was steady and swift.

He spent another two months diligently practicing and successfully condensed the Wind Wing Divine Pattern.

The second Wind System Ability Divine Pattern.

The effect of the Divine Mark was to increase the number of ’wind wings’ from one pair to two pairs perfectly matching the size of the Insect Clan.

For Dragon Cypress, the flying ability significantly improved.

For the Wind System Soldier Ants and Worker Ants, they will also possess complete ’wings’, thereby perfectly inheriting Dragon Cypress’s excellent flying techniques.

According to the plan, during the 3-age period of the Insect King stage, there is still a need for an attack-type ’Cross Flower Dance’ Divine Pattern.

Dragon Cypress slightly adjusted his daily routine,

Using the morning to try integrating ’wind wings’ into the cloud mist state ’Whirl Beast’.

In the afternoon, he continued to diligently practice Cross Flower Dance.

At night, he began attempting to combine the two defensive abilities ’Hydrology Shield’ and ’Moon Spots’.

The compatibility of these two abilities was quite high, taking less than a month to complete the combination process.

Instead, Dragon Cypress found it challenging. Generally, the simpler the combination, the harder it is to condense a Divine Mark.

Dragon Cypress reviewed all the Water System abilities he currently mastered, trying to combine them one by one into ’Moon Spots’, seeking to enrich the combination of abilities, thereby increasing the combination difficulty to reduce the comprehension difficulty.

After going through them, he confirmed that among the current Water System abilities he mastered, none were suitable.

Therefore, he could only spend more time and effort in diligent practice.

...

Year 172 of the Silver Cypress.

The Seven-Leaf Caravan delivered as promised two Divine-Grade Fruits that bestowed Soul System talent.

Cypress used one, slept once, and awakened the Soul System talent.

Round Cypress used one and broke through to Evolution King Level.

Round Cypress is purely a logistics ant, not in a hurry to come to Rainbow Island.

In the same year,

Divine-Grade Black Lotus Seed matured and was harvested, also arranged for Cypress to use.

...

Divine-Grade Molan Seed matured and was harvested.

The promised caravan shares were delivered in full, and the one kept was arranged for Red Moonseed.

Red Moonseed is good at flying and can also handle high-altitude scouting work.

Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid are often not on the island at the same time.

With Red Moonseed’s help, White Willow’s work is half as easy.

...

"Boss Dragon Cypress, over here, come over."

Double-Colored Mulberry, seeing Dragon Cypress approach, called out actively and asked: "What are you holding?"

"Glinting Gold. An Outworld Civilization Artifact that can assist plant growth."

Dragon Cypress slowed his pace, explaining as he walked: "During the day, when sunlight is strong, there might be overflow of energy and nutrients, which can be collected and stored in Glinting Gold. At night, there might be Primordial Energy overflow, which can also be stored in Glinting Gold."

"This thing mainly functions to store energy and adjust conditions. Energy and nutrients are stored during the day for growth at night. Primordial Energy is stored at night for use during the day, usually reserving Primordial Energy, energy, and nutrients for use when flowering, fruit-setting, and fruit expansion occur."

"Oh—"

"A good thing!"

"Hand it over!"

Double-Colored Mulberry cheered, scanning it with spiritual power, immediately understanding its use, then using mind control, causing Glinting Gold to float out from Dragon Cypress’s claw and shoot straight into the trunk, disappearing.

"..."

Dragon Cypress paused outside the wall, slightly lifting his head to gaze upward.

After two years of recuperation, the Double-Colored Mulberry Tree’s height exceeded 150 meters, with lush branches and leaves, flourishing growth.

"Boss Dragon Cypress? What are you dazing out for? Where’s the Flourish Ability? The Tranquility Ability? Don’t you want to eat Divine-Grade Fruits anymore? Hurry up. Hurry up."

"..."
