Chapter 2258 Located

The rules for the Whole Rose Garden were quite simple. One wasn't allowed to fight inside. One couldn't destroy or take away any of the plants. And they could only take so many at once. To limit the amount of flowers one could take, they were forced to leave after they had gathered a decent chunk of lower.

Momo read the rule with a bit of a confused look. "How will they reinforce the rules?" she asked.

"There is a formation around the whole garden that keeps continuous surveillance on everyone inside and knows what they are doing. Once you stay inside for too long or take too many flowers, they will send people to get you to leave."

"What if we have to leave?" Momo asked, worried.

"Then we leave," Alex said. "They won't ban you. They will just ask you to come back after a month."

"Oh, that's not bad," Momo said.

"No, it's not bad. It's actually quite a great system in my opinion," Alex said. "It stops someone from taking away all the important ingredients and forces you to manage your time properly. Speaking of which, let's make proper use of ours."

"Ah, yes," Momo said and began following Alex.

They entered the garden and were immediately met with a variety of rose flowers, growing somewhere in a bunch, somewhere alone. Some bushes lay in a bunch, while some stood alone. Some bushes were tall, some sort, almost all with branches that had thorns in them.

There was no order to where they grew. They were allowed to grow anywhere they wanted without any human intervention, and there was a sort of beauty to that.

Order in the disorder.

"Wow!" Momo said, moving closer to one of the very first flowers she saw. Alex grabbed her by the shoulders. "Remember now, some of them are poisonous, and some will lure you on purpose too. You have to keep your wits about it when walking through this place."

Remembering was easy, but recalling it from such a vast array of information she remembered was not. She got better at it as time passed, however, and very soon, she would be amazing at it.

Even though it took time for now, she repeated every word Alex had taught her, and that made him happy.

They plucked a few flowers along the way. Some by Alex, some by Momo, some by Pearl, and some by Whisker.

Because the formation counted people individually and instead of a group, it was better to split the task of taking away the roses so as to not cause it to alert them.

The garden was large enough that it would take them days to go through it all normally. Just 4 hours after arriving here, the place was already in the shadows.

"Hmm?" Momo looked up. "It should only be afternoon. It's already so dark."

Alex pointed to the 5 mountains that were closest to them. "The Hand of the God casts a shadow onto the land just after afternoon. So half of the day in this garden is spent in the shadows," he explained.

"Really? Don't plants need sunlight to thrive?" Momo asked.

"Not all plants," Alex explained. "Most plants can survive on Qi too, but they need to be of a higher rank. That is why you only see Saint rank and Immortal rank flowers in here. My Master said there were a few Divine rank flowers in here too, but I am not sure if those are still here or not."

"Divine rank..." Momo said with wide eyes. That was nothing but a concept to her, and even then she understood how big it was.

"There's no point in looking forward to such a flower though. Even if we do find it somewhere hiding in here, we won't be able to—"

Alex paused, looking in a direction. "To?"

"To get it," Alex finished as a wide smile formed on his face. "Finally, there it is."

"What is it?" Momo asked, looking in the same direction as him. She saw an ordinary plant like every other in this region. "The plant of the flower I was looking for," Alex said. "The Seven-Colored Angel Rose."
