3065 Exploring
“Divine trees,” I said as we reached them; wonderful flowers that covered the whole trees and were filled with the thick divine energy that anyone could absorb.
“Help me in harvesting them,” I said to them as I began to use my hands and as well as my strings.
I could not use too many of my strings, as flowers are quite delicate, and the slightest mistake will spoil them, not to mention the suppression, which makes controlling the strings hard.
“You have planted a lot of these trees,” said Professor as she picked the flowers. “And I am going to plant even more of them,” I said with a smile.
My clones had already started making preparations; they were taking the seeds from the flowers and planting them in big pots.
“The herbal divine essence of these flowers would be very useful, from healing to advancements,” said Marina. “Yes, it had many uses,” I said, remembering a very naughty use I had read in the library.
For that, I will need to convert it into honey, which I am planning to do after I extract the essence from this flower.
The honey earlier helped me tremendously, and this time, I am going to target the bees that are at Primary II. The divine honey will be produced by them will be even more amazing.
I have many uses for that honey, including creating a mead according to one of the recipes I have.
Thud Thud Thud
It took some time before we had harvested all the flowers from the divine trees, and I waved my hand, bringing out thousands of pots.
“You never come unprepared, are you,” said Professor, “Never,” I replied, and we continued our journey toward the feet of the statues.
It took some time, but we reached the gates with our bodies drenched in sweat; Marina looked especially hot with her cloth sticking to her body, and if the professor hadn’t been here, I would have taken her here and now.
She seemed to understand what I am thinking as her eyes flashed in a warning.
I smiled and pushed open the door before walking inside, and a moment later, I appeared in a serene place. Knowing what I had to do, I quickly removed my clothes and took out water from the well before taking a bath.
As I finished, I wore simple clothes and stepped inside the gate that had appeared.
Once again, I appeared amidst the statues, each representing different emotions and desires. This place had helped me tremendously; if it were not for it, I wouldn’t have been able to create the inheritance on time.
Even if I had, it wouldn’t have been of the level I had.
I was looking at the statues when Professor walked through the gates and, a moment later, Marina.
“Don’t look at the statues directly; only do that when you meditate in front of them,” I said. I had told them about it when we were walking through the divinity of the statue but decided to warn them again.
“Are you leaving?” asked Marina, “Yes, I have already meditated here for months, so there is no use in me staying here,”
“You guys stay and meditate; the benefits it will provide them will be tremendous,” I said to them and took Marina in my arms and began kissing her; this time, she melded into my kiss without any resistance or care for her sister.
We finally broke away after a few minutes.
“Take care, and don’t take too many risks,” she said, “Don’t worry, I will be fine,” I said and walked out of the door.
I was a little angry at the professor earlier, but now I am glad; Marina will have her sister as company. This place may be beneficial, but it is lonely; if one is alone with the professor, she won’t be alone.
I appeared back in the first hall before walking out of the monastery.
There are many places I have to go; the last time I was here, I was only able to explore the tiny part of this ruin, and now I will be able to explore the whole.
There are many things I have to collect from here for my legacy; I already have a few spots in mind, and I am sure I will find a few more.

Nero and Ashlyn had already gone toward those; last time, they did not get to explore these runes whole; this time, they planned to do that, and they started with flying inside the swirling clouds.
I couldn’t help but shudder to see that.
Even when my strength increased so much, I couldn’t fly in a swirling cloud. I will be able to bear the energy, but temporal and spatial energies inside would tear me apart.
I pushed those thoughts of regret and moved ahead; my first goal was to find the bees, and while I have found a few of them before, with one being at Primary II, I want to find the stronger bees.
The stronger they are, the better honey they will produce, but before I go there, I have to visit one place.
Roar!
A few minutes later, I reached that place, and immediately, I heard the roar from the monster, which came at me with all its strength as it saw me eying its treasures.
“Quite lizard!” I said to the monster, and it froze as my strings wrapped around it.
This monster used to scare the hell out of me a few months ago, but now, it is so weak that I could kill it in an instant, but I did not. It is a great guard; not many monsters dare to attack it.
I turned to the lake of corruption and thirty-one stainless lotuses floating on top of it; I had only left nine seeds, but it had thirty-one in a little more than a decade.
I harvested them and added more seeds to the lake.
It was a good decision not to grow too many of these lotuses with the growing energy when I get them from this ruin every few months.
I have added a few more types of seeds in the lake that grows on corruption and harvested radiant peaches.
I only left three for the scared monster and one stainless lotus. If I take it all, the monster might run away, so I kept some for it.
After looking around the whole place and collecting some more powerful corruption from the bottom of the pool, I left the place.
Half an hour later, I entered the area; here, I became a little careful; there were powerful monsters in these ruins that posed some threat to me; Ashlyn had just fought one, and that bird was quite powerful.
Those monsters who travel through the clouds are the strongest; they are mostly birds, but some ground monsters also travel through them.
Soon, two and a half days passed, and I found the powerful bees I wanted; their base was on the tall green mountain where the energy was densest.
The reason I chose these bees to give the divine herbal nectar is that there is a special group here, which will travel into the cloud and gather some of that swirling energy and use it to make the honey.
I gave these bees the divine nectar, and after I stole 75% of their honey, they were really mad that they had killed every monster in hundreds of miles around their mountain.
It was really scary to watch.
