Sword God in a World of Magic

After looking at his surroundings with his new Spirit Sense for a while, Shang sat down again and closed his right eye.

It was time to reach the True Path Stage.

It had been so long.

He had worked so much.

50 years of training tirelessly with unending discipline and enthusiasm.

How long would a normal talented person have taken, someone that didn't dedicate 100% of their life to their own power?

Probably over 150 years.

Maybe even over 200.

The danger of dying of old age would have been a real possibility.

But now, it was time.

Shang concentrated on his Path and willed it to become a reality.

It took several hours, but eventually, his Path began to manifest.

Shang felt a certain feeling of order enter his body, and he felt how it strengthened him.

It enveloped his entire being, and Shang felt how his connection with the world deepened.

Shang pulled this certain feeling deep into his chest and gathered it in one place. This was how the warriors reached the True Path Stage.

All the Mana in the surroundings entered Shang's body. Even the unknown kinds of Mana.

When someone elevated in power at this level, they absorbed all kinds of Mana of the surroundings to strengthen their being.

The Mana in the surrounding kilometers began to gather at Shang's place, but new Mana simply flooded the empty spaces again.

Mana was unending, and it filled the entire world.

As Shang absorbed more and more Mana, the connections of Mana he had established when he reached the Commander Stage began to strengthen even more.

The circulation of Mana inside Shang's body intensified severalfold, and he felt like he was ascending.

It was such a mysterious but empowering feeling.
