Deep within the Starstone Grotto-Heaven.
A white-robed figure hovered above a mountain, quietly gazing down at a massive cavern below.
"This should be the Star-Pattern Stone Ants' nest..."
He murmured to himself, a faint smile appearing on his face.
Along the way, he had collected dozens of Star-Pattern Stone Ants.
These Star-Pattern Stone Ants were all level 10 beasts, with even the weakest at the upper stage of level 10.
"The founding ancestor's notes mentioned that the Ancient Immortal Clan once brought an ant king of the Star-Pattern Stone Ants from their homeland. This ant king rendered tremendous service in helping the Ancient Immortal Clan survive in the Human Realm..."
The white-robed young man spoke thoughtfully.
With a flash of white light, he flew into the deep, dark ant nest.
The notes made no mention of the founding ancestor's homeland, but the ancestor had left a message saying that if he ever entered the Starstone Grotto-Heaven and found the Spirit-Origin Immortal Stele, he could learn the whole truth.
The Spirit-Origin Immortal Stele was also a Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure.
The white-robed young man's true purpose in entering the Starstone Grotto-Heaven was to obtain this Spirit-Origin Immortal Stele, then use it against the Sky-Touching Palace so he could seize the Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure within!
At the thought of obtaining two Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasures, his eyes burned with fervor.
Although his true body was already invincible in the Human Realm, he would not remain there for long. Once his term ended and he had trained his next successor to the peak of the tenth layer of the Spirit Transformation Realm, he could head to the Spirit Realm!
After flying through the deep, dark ant nest for some time, he saw quite a few Star-Pattern Stone Ants along the way, but none attacked him.
