Sword God in a World of Magic

It had taken so many years and so many Mind Flow Pellets, but Shang had finally done it.

By now, Shang was 630 years old. People in the Fifth Realm could live for about a thousand years, which meant that Shang was essentially over 50 years old if he were a mortal.

If someone reached the Sixth Realm, they would have reached it in their 400s or 500s, at the latest.

Yet, Shang still wasn't done.

He had only comprehended three of the five things he needed to reach the Sixth Realm.

Luckily, the next part Shang needed to focus on wouldn't take too long.

Sure, the creation of an entirely new Path was always difficult, especially without a Star Map, but Shang had gained a lot of experience, and his mind had become many times more powerful. Lastly, he even had access to expensive resources.

Over the past centuries, Shang had consumed over four Grade Seven Mana Crystals worth of Mind Flow Pellets, which would have been unimaginable to him before coming to his town.

This was the advantage of having a powerful organization backing him.

Surprisingly, ever since the number of True Path Stage warriors joining the Temple of Blood had increased, the Congregation stopped demanding progress and proof from him.

This meant that they were more than happy with the influx of warriors they were getting.

Over the past centuries, the Temple of Blood had already created several methods to make perfect use of these warriors.

The minds of the warriors were mostly weaker than their bodies, which was extremely useful for covert missions since Mages only judged another human's power by feeling the Mana waves coming from their minds.

The target of a mission might look around suspiciously, but they would ignore someone whose mind was like four levels below their own.

Even more, the Temple of Blood had created a terrifyingly effective piece of equipment.

It was an earring with quite an interesting ability.

The earring would severely restrict the flow of Mana that would enter or exit someone's mind, locking up someone's Magic. They could still cast some very weak Spells, but these Spells would be at least two Realms below their own, making them worthless.

Additionally, taking the earring off didn't mean that one could immediately cast Magic. The mind and Mana would need to resynchronize first, which took a couple of seconds.

However, that also severely weakened their strength in the eyes of others.
