Sword God in a World of Magic

After getting 100 Furnace Pills, Shang left.

He traveled for about a minute and arrived at a certain place within the Hibye, the center.

In the very center of the Hibye, there were several tall buildings. There were about 50 of them, and each one was over a hundred meters high and nearly half a kilometer wide.

All of these buildings were mansions.

And the people living here were the Mage Lords under Lucin and Lucin himself.

Naturally, each mansion had several expensive Magic Circles that enhanced someone's speed of comprehension, and a couple of Mage Lords were essentially always present.

The Bolts working under Lucin worked in shifts of 33. Each century, the shift would change.

This meant that a Bolt working under Lucin had to work for one century and then got two centuries off.

During these two centuries of free time, the Bolts either trained at their house, traveled the world, or went to different places to comprehend more Concepts.

But at least five were always at home.

As for Lucin, since he had effectively already reached the peak of his power, he worked all the time.

Most of the time, Lucin was inside his house or floating somewhere near it. The reason for that was the size of the Hibye and the location of Lucin's house.

Just like the Clouds, Lucin had a fourfold Spirit Sense, and since a normal Mage Lord had a Spirit Sense with a radius of 10,000 kilometers, Lucin had a Spirit Sense with a radius of 40,000 kilometers.

Since the Hibye was around 100,000 kilometers wide and long, this meant that Lucin could see nearly the entire thing as long as he was in the middle.

Lucin was the biggest reason why the Hibye was so safe from external threats.

Nearly all the clouds were under constant supervision by a Peak Mage Lord with a fourfold Spirit Sense.

Even the Clouds had it extremely difficult to hurt anyone without Lucin's permission.

And, sure enough, Lucin was above his house right now, looking at his Communication Crystal.
