Chapter 94: Chapter 80: The Trial of the Elemental Realm

Three days flashed by, and Gu Shanhai’s learning progress left the remaining Marked Druids very satisfied. Both his learning speed and his efficiency in mastering new skills were impressive.

During this time, Gu Shanhai also met the other Druids. In the Mark tradition, there were only five left, which was beyond Gu Shanhai’s expectation. He had thought there would be at least a handful, but now, there were only enough to count on one hand.

Because of Gu Shanhai’s learning progress and physical condition, they actually had high hopes that Gu Shanhai would pass the test and successfully receive the Elemental Blessing.

Of course, apart from the bad news about the low numbers, there was also very good news: the Marked Druids were very wealthy. They had everything except people.

As one of the oldest schools, which also had a very close connection with nature, the Marked Druids had always been affluent. It wasn’t the heritage that had declined, but the succession.

So long as Gu Shanhai succeeded, he would be able to leverage the heritage of the Marked Druids and quickly grow, not to mention the inheritance of knowledge, growth resources, or even social connections; all of these were extremely rich.

"Shanhai, today is the day you face your test. Remember, you must be prudent," Elder Mafas instructed. He had a high opinion of Gu Shanhai. During the three days of interaction, he was certain that Gu Shanhai was a genius, an absolute genius.

"Yes, Elder Mafas, I will definitely pass the test!" Gu Shanhai said resolutely, and the remaining four Druids... were also Elders.

Yes, after passing, Gu Shanhai would have five new superiors, but at this stage, the title of Elder didn’t mean much with so few people around.

The Druid Elders communicated with Deer Plain and swiftly opened a portal to the Elemental Realm.

From this, it was apparent that the world’s original energy levels were definitely not low, as even a declining ancient tradition could utilize spatial teleportation technology.

"Go ahead, we’ll be waiting for you to come out, until your life dissipates," Elder Mafas said.

As a Marked Druid Apprentice heading to the Elemental Realm to face a challenge, it was natural to have means to verify life and death.

Gu Shanhai stepped through without hesitation. Just as he was about to enter, Elder Mafas suddenly added, "If possible, try to obtain the core of the elemental lives of wind, fire, water, and earth. It can make your Elemental Blessing even more intense."

"I will do my best, Elder Mafas." Hearing this, Gu Shanhai paused for a moment, acknowledged, and then stepped into the Elemental Realm.

After he entered, the portal gradually dissipated. If he wanted to return to Deer Plain, he would have to find the corresponding exit himself.

"Actually, I just want to know why killing an elemental being and taking its core would result in a more intense Elemental Blessing. Normally, it should be an Elemental Curse..."

"Unless the Elemental Blessing isn’t coming from the Elemental Realm, but from the inheritance of the Marked Druids, otherwise it doesn’t make sense."

It was as outrageous as a thief wandering into a home and then, instead of beating you, giving you a reward.

"This is the Fire Element Region, an unfavorable start. This portal is so outdated and still uses random teleportation. Can’t it do direct teleportation to a specific exit in the Elemental Realm?" Gu Shanhai complained.

However, that was just a fleeting thought, as he didn’t dare suggest they change it. It was likely something they couldn’t change since it was naturally formed.

What appeared to be a portal was actually a small ritual, so where it dropped him wasn’t determined by the Druids, but by the world itself.

Essentially, Gu Shanhai’s test was also a ritual, which meant no matter which exit he used from any Elemental Region, he would return to Deer Plain, as that was part of the ritual itself.

This showed that Druid inheritance was richer than the mainstream vocation of Priest, which had existed since the era of the Barbaric Ancestors.

"Elemental lives don’t seem to be abundant here. Where can I find a Fire Element?"

Knowing that obtaining an elemental core would give him a better start, Gu Shanhai naturally did not hesitate to act in the best possible way.

The four great elements were classified by size: small, medium, large, extra-large, gigantic, and finally, the Element Elders.

Naturally, the Elemental Elders had the best-quality core, but there was a small problem: Gu Shanhai couldn’t defeat them.

Not to mention, he might barely manage against a medium one.

In the Elemental Realm, the four great elemental beings were not as suppressed as in the main material world of Camelot Kingdom, but still possessed great power.

However, they were all confined within the Elemental Realm and could not leave. Of course, even if they could, they wouldn’t, because once they left the Elemental Realm, their power and lives would rapidly fade, and they would die.

While not absolutely the case, Druids could contract with the four great elements of the Elemental Realm and summon them; while their powers would be suppressed at the current stage, it wouldn’t cause their lives to fade rapidly.

But today, the number of Druids who could summon them might be even smaller than the number of Druids from the Mark tradition.
