Sword God in a World of Magic

After thinking about his options for a while, Shang decided to walk along the bottom of the Eternal Ocean.

If he could find an entrance to a trial, he could earn a lot of money.

As long as he actually won the trial fairly, his rewards wouldn't be destroyed.

He walked along the ground of the Eternal Ocean and focused on all manners of fluctuations around him.

There were no beasts or humans around him.

There was only the deep darkness and pressure of the Eternal Ocean.

There were no streams at the bottom of the Eternal Ocean, making it feel dead.

Shang just kept walking through the darkness and pressure.

It was like he had been transported to a different world.

When he reached a crevice, Shang jumped down and inspected the entire thing.

Some crevices were small, while others were huge.

Yet, everything seemed to be the same, and Shang found no traces of strange fluctuations.

But he also hadn't expected to. After all, the Deep Crevices was a huge wilderness, and Shang's Spirit Sense wasn't that big right now.

The Early Ancestral Mage from earlier had probably known about the location of the trial before she had even jumped into the ocean.

The Clouds weren't stupid, and they even used information as resources.

Just pay a couple of Mana Crystals, and we will tell you where you can find one of the trials in the Deep Crevices. If you get lucky and get sent to the Deep Crevices, you will earn far more, and if you don't, there's always next time.

No one wanted the others to earn money without them getting a cut themselves.

As for people that weren't willing to purchase the locations of trials, they had to search for them on their own, and the chances of them finding one weren't very high.

After all, the trials were well hidden, and the wilderness was vast.

Nevertheless, Shang continued slowly searching through the crevices.

He moved methodically and efficiently.

Several days seemed to pass in the blink of an eye.

The surroundings hadn't changed.

However, Shang had changed.

Shang's body was losing a bit of blood through a couple of cuts, and his skin didn't seem as healthy anymore.

It looked like Shang's body couldn't permanently stay at the bottom of the Endless Ocean without slowly deteriorating.

But Shang didn't seem to mind.

A couple more days passed, and Shang's body released a bit more blood than before.
