In the aftermath of the Riddle of Balance, the cultivators, along with Elder Zhao, Elder Mei, Zhen Yi, and newcomers Liara and Enric, were led deeper into the heart of the ancient shrine. The next part of the test awaited them: the Elemental Trials. Each participant had to face a trial related to their elemental affinity. Here's how it unfolded for each of them:

As he stepped into the chamber designated for the Earth Trial, he was met with a vast landscape of rocky terrain and intricate formations. The ground was a mosaic of earthy hues, and the air was thick with the scent of damp soil and minerals. Elder Zhao's challenge was clear – he had to manipulate the earth to create a perfect equilibrium within the land.
