Chapter 508 - 323: Hidden Quest: Giant Beast Conqueror; Changes in the Four Major Elemental Planes
Special Notice: The entire exchange tournament will be monitored by the Xuanwu-III Type Integrated Warship. Judgments will be made by the University Alliance Training Camp and the Xuanwu-III Type Integrated Warship’s own system. Cheating and external assistance of any kind are strictly forbidden.
’I can only send out one member of my Clan?’
’And that Clan member has to complete the mission to conquer the Giant Beast all by themselves?’
Zhang Yi’s thoughts stirred, a contemplative glint flashing in his eyes.
’Interesting.’
’Is this hidden mission a test of the top individuals within a Divine Realm? A test of a Heroic Clan’s strength?’
’When they created this mission,
did they not know I have a Legendary Clan in my Divine Realm?’
Zhang Yi first thought of Eric, the agile Pioneer Corps Commander of his Legendary Clan, who wielded a Top Level Semi-Divine Artifact.
But he immediately thought of another Heroic Clan member in his Divine Realm—the Sun Holy Tree!
He even thought of the two Elf Dragons in his Divine Realm, still in their incubation stage...
’Looks like I’ll have to choose which Clan member completes this hidden mission very carefully.’
’But there’s no time limit on this mission.’
’Which means there’s no problem if I start the hidden mission on the first day of the exchange tournament, or the last.’
It seemed Zhang Yi had thought of something.
Just then, however, Vice Admiral Qin Rui’s voice rang out again, interrupting Zhang Yi’s train of thought.
"The location for the third round of the University Alliance Training Camp’s exchange tournament has been confirmed: the Inner Earth World."
"We have a two-day journey ahead on the Xuanwu-III Type Integrated Warship, after which we will arrive at the venue for the third round of the exchange tournament."
"I will inform all cadets of the specific competition rewards
upon our arrival at the Inner Earth World, right before the tournament officially begins."
"All cadets may spend the next two days resting in their cabins."
"And no more testing the boundaries of the University Alliance Training Camp’s rules!"
"If it happens again, we will deal with it severely."
"Those involved in serious cases, or who refuse to heed advice, may even be eliminated directly!"
As Vice Admiral Qin Rui spoke these words, the expression on the face of Elias, the Candidate Saint Child from the White Eagle Federation, darkened considerably.
Evidently, after the conflict that day,
Elias had received a reprimand from his region’s supervising instructor that evening.
However, Candidate Saint Child Elias’s sour expression had no effect on Vice Admiral Qin Rui’s address.
Once Vice Admiral Qin Rui finished speaking,
the cadets from the five different federal regions were dismissed.
Surrounded by fellow cadets from the Yanhuang Federation, Zhang Yi quickly returned to his cabin.
The first thing he did upon returning to his cabin was to skillfully use his connection to his Divine Realm, immersing his consciousness and entering it directly.
He no longer needed to use a Divine Domain Connection Pod.
Still, the familiar prompts were right on cue.
[Notice]: Logging into the Ten Thousand Realms Divine Net...
[Notice]: Identity verification successful...
[Notice]: Consciousness descending into your Divine Realm...
[Notice]: Welcome, great God of Nature, to your Divine Realm!
With two days of preparation time left,
Zhang Yi decided he had to enter his Divine Realm and take a look.
He would also check on his Heroic Clans,
and figure out which of them
was capable of shouldering such a great responsibility and completing the hidden mission.
But upon entering his Divine Realm, before Zhang Yi could even locate his Heroic Clans, he immediately perceived a massive change.
It had been almost five days since Zhang Yi’s advancement to Ninth Transformation Demigod.
In those five days,
Zhang Yi had been busy boarding the warship and comprehending his Natural Divine Position,
so he hadn’t had time to enter his Divine Realm for the past two days.
And though he had only been away from his Divine Realm for two days,
given the different rates of time flow between it and the Main World,
and under the immense influence of the Five-star Unrivaled Quality Divine Domain Card, Four Great Elemental Plane Lords,
the Four Major Elemental Planes attached to Zhang Yi’s Main Divine Realm had been completely transformed!
In the western Earth Elemental Plane,
the ground was no longer bare rock but was now covered by a layer of black soil.
Small mountain ranges stretched endlessly, and in the hollows of the valley floors, one could even see the dark essence of the earth’s veins.
In the center of the Earth Elemental Plane, a thousand-meter-tall mountain rose like the tip of a sword, a sharp blade piercing the heavens.
Beneath this towering, sword-like mountain,
a vague, giant humanoid silhouette composed entirely of the Earth Element slumbered deep within the rock, its slow breaths sending tremors through the stone.
The instant Zhang Yi’s perception brushed against it,
he could feel its aura—Sixth Level Peak, approaching the Seventh Level.
Clearly, this was the Earth Elemental Life from the Earth Elemental Plane, the one with the potential to become an Elemental Lord.
Sensing an Earth Elemental Life with power approaching the Seventh Level,
Zhang Yi was naturally overjoyed.
Zhang Yi had originally thought he would have to search for an Elemental Life with Elemental Lord potential and then carefully nurture it, just as he did with his own Clan.
But to his surprise, the Elemental Life with Elemental Lord potential had distinguished itself all on its own!
While the other Earth Elemental Life forms
were at the Second or Third Level at most,
this one was already three full levels ahead of them.
’This is more than just distinguishing itself!’
’To say it stood head and shoulders above the rest would be an understatement!’
With that thought in mind,
Zhang Yi’s consciousness shifted toward the Water Elemental Plane, the Fire Elemental Plane, and the Wind Elemental Plane.
