The Divine Cicada Clan of Immortal Antiquity!

"Huh, what's this..."

Inside his Dao Palace, Chen An looked at the thing that had just made his Primordial Spirit stir and raised an eyebrow.

It was a Dao Crystal the size of a washbasin, its entire surface shimmering with a glassy glow.

Looking closer, he saw a strange divine insect sealed inside. It was the size of a baby's fist, with a cicada's head, an ant's body, six pairs of transparent, gossamer-thin wings, and a layer of dark-gold carapace. It looked wondrous and bizarre.

The trace of aura comparable to a Saint King Realm expert's that had erupted from its body swiftly receded into its depths
