——【Saint Form】!
A淡金色的光辉 floated into Soren’s sight as he looked down from the sky at a mud pit with a diameter of about a kilometer.
This area is close to a valley, far from a gathering place for Mud Monsters, but Modo cannot allow such unexpected creatures to exist, so they were exterminated about a year ago.
Now, this mud pit shows no signs of Mud Monsters; at most, there are some small animals moving about. However, now even the small animals have disappeared, and almost no living beings can be seen within the unusually heavy gravitational range. The only thing that can be felt is the abundant elemental energy here, where casting the ‘Turn Stone into Mud’ spell should greatly enhance its effectiveness.
“I found it!”
After surveying the area, Soren finally discovered the issue.
An invisible mud pit, somewhat like a swamp, has a strong energy field beneath it; the connection to the passage will likely be here.
——”Shift Space 【Divine Power】!”
Accompanied by a burst of golden light, Soren directly used divine power to break the illusion concealed by the Material Plane, and the overlapping space appeared before him, revealing a deep crevice in his eyes.
To see what was going on, he had to enter it to confirm.

“This is the place of buried treasures.
This is the wall against all enemies.
This is the grave of the greedy.”
The Elemental Plane of Earth is a solid plane composed of rock, dirt, and stone; inattentive and unprepared travelers might feel themselves buried alive in this immense and solid grave, and their crushed remains serve as a warning to any fool daring to follow.
Despite the Elemental Plane of Earth having a solid and inflexible nature, its hardness is diverse, ranging from relatively soft soil to heavier and more valuable metal veins.
Granite, volcanic rock, marble, fragile crystal, and soft gravel intertwine, with rough and massive gemstone mines sparsely distributed throughout this plane. These unrefined gems often entice the greedy to this plane, hoping to extract them with minimal effort.
Those with such intentions often encounter the native inhabitants of the Elemental Plane of Earth as enemies, and some even leave their bones here forever.
The Elemental Plane of Earth is a place that harbors hostility towards creatures from the Material Plane, but not with the active hostility similar to the Elemental Plane of Fire. It is patient like the earth itself, waiting for all of time in the universe.
The four elemental planes were born from the origins of the multiverse.
This counts as a place filled with endless wealth, possessing mineral fields far richer than the Bottomless Abyss.
Soren passed through the spatial crevice before him, and as a glimmer of light appeared, he found himself in an open gravel area. The gravity here is about twice that of the Material Plane, and many valuable things are visible within his sight.
For example, pure white marble and exposed metal ores.
Among the four elemental planes, exploring the Elemental Plane of Earth is the most valuable because it is a plane filled with endless wealth.
Those with good fortune might even find gemstones as big as their fists by the roadside!
This is recorded.
There was once an adventurer who wandered the Elemental Plane of Earth for three hours and then found a fist-sized ruby by the roadside.
The Elemental Plane of Earth contains a wealth of treasures, housing the most concentrated gemstone mines in the multiverse, the easiest-to-mine metal ores in the multiverse, and an abundance of nearly all types of stones. Just like the land Soren sees before him, it undoubtedly contains very rich marble mines and large quantities of exposed metal ores near the hillside.
Gold, silver, copper, iron, tin…
Almost all kinds of minerals can be found in the Elemental Plane of Earth, and they are very easy to mine, not even requiring deep underground work, as there are exceptionally rich mineral reserves within a hundred meters of the surface.
Of course!
Getting rich in the Elemental Plane of Earth is not an easy task.
Even demons do not dare to swagger in; they can only sneak in to mine something.
Because the Elemental Plane of Earth has many powerful and dangerous beings!
For example, the giant earth elemental angrily attacking Soren right now, which, due to its location in the elemental plane, has its strength increased by at least thirty percent, with a challenge level close to 18, requiring half a legendary squad to handle.
Moreover, due to the gravity characteristics of the Elemental Plane of Earth, most professionists find it inconvenient to operate here.
——”Hand of Death!”
Soren did not want to wear out the patience of a giant earth elemental, so he directly cast a Hand of Death to take it down.
He needed some time to observe this place.
“This should not be the core area of the Elemental Plane of Earth, because the gravity hasn’t exceeded five times that of the Material Plane!”
Soren looked down at the land and murmured, “It seems this area is very valuable! Exceptionally rich marble mines, and large quantities of exposed ores! If they could be mined, the strength of Modo would greatly increase.”
Unfortunately.
Soren thought about it and then gave up.
On one hand is the danger of the Elemental Plane of Earth, where new Elemental Life could emerge at any time.
On the other hand, due to the gravity here, the laborers of Modo City would not be able to work under twice the gravity; relying on Golem Puppets for mining, Modo City currently lacks the technological conditions for that.
Such a vast open mine seems that it can only remain abandoned for now.
The characteristics of the Elemental Plane of Earth are to enhance earth spells, weaken air spells, have normal time, infinite size, and shape-shifting capabilities.
The sky in this plane is very low.
For legendary professionists, it is easy to touch the plane barrier, and the core area of this plane is the underground world, where countless passages are found beneath the Elemental Plane of Earth, and the natives living here are exceptionally strong.
In the Elemental Plane of Earth, you must master two skills.
One is mining, and the other is digging.
There was even a book that circulated among adventurers titled—”Dig Your Way Out—Survival Guide to the Elemental Plane of Earth”!
It must be mentioned here!
Similar to other planes, the Elemental Plane of Earth is not just the earth elemental forms perceived by ordinary people; there are also souls reincarnated into elemental planes and natives assimilated with elemental energy. Their souls are assimilated into the elemental energy, ultimately transforming into life forms similar to half-elementals.
Possible enemies encountered here include half-earth elementals, half-elemental Medusa, half-elemental Minotaurs, half-elemental trolls, half-fused magma creatures, stone monsters, and earth giants, among others.
——”Shift Space 【Divine Power】!”
——”Change Reality 【Divine Power】!”
Soren returned to the Material Plane, sealing the spatial crevice temporarily to avoid trouble, but this type of crevice is difficult to erase completely with divine power, and he also does not know when it will reopen.
For now, Soren can only seal it and see how to respond later.
After all, the mineral wealth possessed by the Elementals is truly astounding! If possible, Soren still wants to extract something from it!
“Eh?”
Just as Soren finished sealing the elemental crevice and was preparing to return to Modo City, he suddenly froze in place, his expression becoming very strange.
Because!
Just now!
In that instant!
He actually sensed the Magic Network and reconnected with the Magic Network!!!
