The old sophora tree in front of the cave residence actually produced a Divine-Given Seed, which made Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid, who had originally planned to give up the spring search, change their minds. After seeing off the Snow Velvet Spider King, they returned to Cloud Trace Continent and began searching each Land of Origin Force one by one.
They found nothing.
On the way, they delivered the Divine-Grade Ink Fruit to Silver Cypress Mountain and handed it to Mountain Persimmon.
Ink Orchid stayed at Scarletlight Mountain to help out.
Dragon Cypress headed to Fragrant Silk Island to continue developing the sub-colony.
Two months later, Wanglan Continent entered a cold winter. The specialized ant larvae nurtured in the sub-colony had mostly stabilized in their differentiation, needing little attention. The Worker Ants and Blue Ants knew to feed them until they spun cocoons and underwent Feather Transformation into adult ants.
