Treasure Hunting System： The Ocean Conquerer

Alka held the metal box containing the Divine Essence and walked towards the Celestial Flower. He was heading here because he felt the guidance from his blessing leading him in this direction. He understood that the Divine Essence in his hand originated from the ancient, primordial Celestial Flower.

As Alka arrived, a Priest dressed in a robe of flowers, who had been waiting for a long time, greeted him.

”Lord Alka, please follow me.”

Alka nodded, carrying the metal box as he followed.

The area beneath the Celestial Flower was a critical zone, with Flower Knights and soldiers patrolling back and forth.

They soon arrived at the root area beneath, where the Great Gardener, his hair white, had been waiting for a long time. He turned to look at Alka, still holding his enormous Flower Wand, and nodded to him.

Alka lifted the box, ready to pass it to him.

But the Great Gardener reached out to stop him.

”You should do it yourself.”

He then made room. Alka nodded and, without refusing, carried the box to the base of the flower.

”How should I proceed?”

”Just take it out.”

Alka opened the box and took out the last Divine Essence, which was wrapped in Magic Power.

When the Divine Essence was taken out, the giant Celestial Flower quivered slightly. Alka closed his eyes. He had already sunk into the Dream Realm.

Upon entering the Dream World, the enormous flower of the dreamscape appeared before him. The Flower Fairy, her body faintly glowing, was reclining in the heart of the flower.

”I didn’t expect you to get it so soon.”

Alka nodded. ”It was just a trip; there wasn’t any real difficulty.”

”How should I hand that over to you? Bring it into the Dream Realm?”

Hearing Alka’s words, the Flower Fairy shook her head slightly.

”You just need to place the Divine Essence into the Celestial Flower.”

Alka nodded.

Just as he was about to leave, he heard the Flower Fairy say, ”You should be able to control your physical body in reality to witness it here.”

”Huh?” Hearing this, Alka was somewhat confused. He really didn’t understand what this meant.

The Flower Fairy smiled. ”Just watch, it won’t be a bad thing.”

Hearing this, Alka nodded and did not refuse. Then his eyes became slightly vacant.

The Alka in reality opened his eyes. Holding the Divine Essence, he approached the root area. He gently pressed the Divine Essence in his hand slowly into the base of the Celestial Flower.

The Celestial Flower began to sway gently. The surrounding Priests and the Great Gardener also showed a trace of nervousness on their faces as they waited. It seemed this matter was very important to all of them.

As the Divine Essence completely merged into the roots of the Celestial Flower, blue magical patterns appeared on the green stem, spreading upward until they reached the base of the bloom. The glow of the petals intensified, and a rich floral scent began to permeate the air, sweeping out to cover the entire Land of Fragrance. Other than this, there were no disturbances; it was much simpler than Alka had imagined.

「However, in the Dream Realm.」

The transformation was unusually intense. Before Alka’s eyes, the Flower Fairy closed her eyes and lay back completely into the flower. The massive petals in the dreamscape began to grow. Each petal became as resplendent as crystal and began to close up. They encapsulated the Flower Fairy completely. It created a sense of time reversing.

Before Alka’s eyes, the entire flower transformed into a bud, waiting to bloom.

Dense, multicolored patterns began to spread across the petals. The patterns Alka saw seemed to convey some power. Alka seemed to understand, yet not fully grasp it.

The surrounding Dream Energy also began to change unusually. Alka could feel his body seemingly boiling. But he paid no mind to this; all his attention was focused on the petals. He saw the mystical patterns on the petals and the knowledge they conveyed.

The first thing he saw was flowers, representing all the flowers in the world.

Blooming, fragrance, plants…

He perceived light of various hues.

He seemingly grasped something.

A piece of knowledge surfaced in his mind involuntarily. It was the recipe for Divinity he once knew; now he seemed to have a deeper understanding of this recipe. He now knew more secretive things.

After an unknown amount of time, the light began to wane, and the patterns on the petals gradually faded. However, the flower, now completely closed into a bud, showed no sign of blooming.

The Flower Fairy’s voice came from within.

”Did you see it?”

”I saw it.”

”Did you understand it?”

”I seem to understand,” Alka said, somewhat uncertainly.

The voice within the flower fell silent. Then, a voice, as if muttering to herself, came from within, ”Indeed, you can see. But why can you see?”

The Flower Fairy’s voice was filled with confusion and puzzlement.

Hearing this, Alka frowned slightly. This meant that normally, the patterns on the petals should be invisible or unintelligible. The fact that he could understand and grasp some of the ideas they conveyed was not a normal phenomenon.

”What does that mean?” Alka asked directly.

”Being able to see those divine patterns is already the limit of talent. If you can also see what those patterns express...”
