--- Chapter 259 ---
Yu Long arrived at the garden that Freya had built. His eyes widened a bit as the whole mountain was transformed into the Garden of Eden, back to the origin where all beautiful natures come together.
In fact, this place looks untouched by external influence and has a unique aura of serenity.
As Yu Long's eyes wandered to a steady-running river with crystal clear water, he discovered a row of peach and mango trees.
The peaches and mangoes are unique.
The peach has unique five-colored skin, exuding endearing scents.
Meanwhile, the mangoes are pale white on the top and glossy black at the bottom with an inviting, sweet scent.
Yu Long also found the grasses that Freya mentioned, which radiated with a strong vitality.It seems Yu Long's decision to let Freya develop plants was correct.
Of course, Yu Long also wouldn't undermine Freya's ability because he could not replicate her success easily.
"Master, you're here!" Freya comes with a flushed expression.
She arranged the garden the best she could hurriedly and hoped Yu Long liked it.
She looked nervous and looked like her effort paid back.
"Good job." Yu Long smiled at Freya. "I will reward you handsomely after this."
Freya sighed in relief.
Then, she quickly replied, "No, Master."
"Following your order is already a reward for me."
"There is no need to reward me further when you've granted me a second chance at life."
Yu Long raised his brow and commented, "You have become quite eloquent."
"Fran would have been brass about rewards."
Freya was embarrassed because her conscience wouldn't allow her to be brass. She stared at Yu Long and diverted the topic, "This, Master, why do you smell fishy?"
"It smells familiar, too."
Yu Long looked at his palm and answered, "Well, I just met Poseidon and Ares."
"What?? How come that scum of a being be here?" Freya was shocked as people from her Master's past life shouldn't be here.
Yu Long shook his head helplessly and responded, "After the accident, my death triggered many changes in the earth. As far as I know, someone or a faction could revive the deaths and send them across dimensions."
"Coincidentally, the dimension is Primal Chaos Dimension."
Freya's eyes widened in disbelief, "That..."
She fell into a deep thought because the dimensional fabrics wouldn't get weakened for no reason. She felt there was more to this farce.
Yu Long saw Freya's expression and told everything he learned in the past few days, causing Freya to fall into another deep thought.
"Destroyers," Freya mumbled while tapping her lips.
"I don't think there are rumors about them in the Upper Realms, which means the invasion has yet to reach high-rank Star Realms."
"If so, the invaders must have abused the weak points across the Primal Chaos Dimension."
Yu Long nodded, "I thought so, too."
"Well, we shouldn't think too hard for now."
"Why don't you tell me the progress of the garden."
Freya coughed awkwardly, "Ehem. Follow me, Master."
She led Yu Long into the garden and explained every plant she had grown in immaculate detail. She wanted him to have a perfect experience of the garden and understood how much effort she put in.
And Yu Long did that exactly.
He understood the effects of the Five Element Peach and Yin-Yang Mango were perfect for building one's foundation.
He even tried them, finding them delicious and suitable for his cultivation.
Yu Long cultivated both Yin-Yang Profound Arts simultaneously, which required absolute balance. The Yin-Yang Mango suited him well.
As for the Five Element Peach. It possessed the pure essence of fire, water, earth, wood, and metal.
The peach is good, but Yu Long preferred heavenly plants with pure wind and lightning elements.
After all, Yu Long cultivated the [Art of Lightning and Thunder] now and might as well start the [Art of Wind[ alongside it.
Freya smiled proudly, "Then, you're in luck, Master."
"I've grown some specialty."
She snapped her fingers, and the row of grasses opened, revealing a path to another side of the garden.
Yu Long followed Freya in and sensed a strong electric current, rivaling the lightning tribulation that people summoned when they underwent breakthroughs.
His eyes locked on a neat row of gleaming silver bamboo by a running water stream.
"This bamboo..."
"This bamboo is native to the Illusory Demon Realm. I think they call it the Silver Howling Bamboo." Freya answered Yu Long's curiosity.
"Silver Howling Bamboo?" Yu Long found the name fitting because every time the bamboo sways and hits each other, it creates an electric current that sounds like a howl of beasts.
Freya nodded and continued, "Mm, I've accelerated the Silver Howling Bamboo's growth and found after the 10,000-year mark, it produces Silver Howling Bamboo King."
"Silver Howling Bamboo King could call upon calamity of lightning and cause destruction."
"Of course, it also contained the purest lightning in this star realm."
"If it can produce a king, could it produce an emperor?" Yu Long threw a point, which made Freya ponder for a bit.
"It is possible," Freya answered positively. "However, we must accelerate its growth to the 100,000-year mark."
"Can you do it?" Yu Long gazed at her.
Freya was flustered and replied, "Well, I need your permission to access Kaiju Maker's energy, Master."
"You know that my power is 'naturally' limited by your allowance."
"Then, as the reward earlier, I will increase the input by 20%." Yu Long said casually.
Freya hurriedly kneeled, "Thank you, Master."
To Kaiju, Yu Long's energy is like the nectar of god. It could increase their power by a mile and allow them to evolve.
Freya obtained a limited portion of Yu Long's energy directly and could only rely on the power of nature to support herself. Now that base input has increased by 20%, she's four times stronger than before.
She felt Kaiju Maker's energy flow into her body and walked to the Silver Howling Bamboo King, accelerating its growth with her innate ability to nurture plants.
After a few seconds, one Silver Howling Bamboo stood above the rest at the towering height of three hundred meters. A faint mist covered its segmented body, and each leaf flickered with electricity.
"Minimize," Freya mumbled, and the giant bamboo condensed itself to fifteen meters tall.
"Master, it's a success."
"Good." Yu Long couldn't help but smile.
"Grow some more for me."
"Next, do you have anything with a pure wind element?"
Freya snapped her finger again, and the Silver Howling Bamboo parted into two parts. By doing this, she reveals something that shocked Yu Long.
"What was this flower doing here?" Yu Long was puzzled. A small flower was in his sight.
It has a green stem and bright blue flower petals, swaying gently in the crowd of Silver Howling Bamboo.
"Fūten no Hana..."
"Heavenly Wind Flower." Yu Long put on a complicated look.
Heavenly Wind Flower is a mutated plant from his previous life. This flower can control weather, especially wind, and create a protective barrier around a place.
In fact, this flower has another name.
It's called the Human Guardian Flower because this small flower played a 'crucial' role in protecting human settlements from mutated beast attacks many times.
One flower.
One flower is enough to protect a settlement for a year.
"No wonder this garden is hidden from external influences, and you can't feel Poseidon's aura despite him breaking into the Plain of Solitude."
"Freya, how come you have this flower's seed?" Yu Long asked the Kaiju.
Freya shook her head bitterly and explained, "I found Heavenly Wind Flower by accident."
"I got stranded in the God Realm of Absolute Beginning once and found the flower seed there."
"God Realm of Absolute Beginning..." Yu Long mumbled to himself.
"It seems after Jasmine wakes up, I will visit the Realm of God, too."
Freya stared at the sentimental Yu Long and said, "Master, the Heavenly Wind Flower produces ten Heavenly Wind Spores once a month. It contained a pure wind element that fit your requirement."
"Can you accelerate its growth and grow more Heavenly Wind Flower, Freya?" Yu Long asked seriously.
"I can, but you must supply me with another Kaiju Maker's energy."
"Do it."
"O-Okay."
After Freya accelerated the Heavenly Wind Flower's growth, the spores spread and grew as ten flower buds around the main one.
Sure enough, the ten flower buds grew into new Heavenly Wind Flowers and thickened the protective barrier around the Garden of Eden.
"Done, Master. You can take 110 Heavenly Wind Spores now."
Yu Long shook his head calmly and replied, "I will only take one hundred spores. Use the remaining to grow more Heavenly Wind Spores and send them to the Earth Dragon Enclave."
"Heavenly Demon Cult will use the flower as strategic resources."
"We must spread the Heavenly Wind Flowers all over our factions within a month or two."
"Understood." Freya nodded in understanding. She was ready to grow more Heavenly Wind Flowers.
She was happy she could help Yu Long this much.
