Sword God in a World of Magic

After leaving the Isolation Barrier, Shang planned his next course of action.

He knew what he had to comprehend next, but it wasn't certain if he would actually succeed.

Luckily, for once in Shang's life, he wasn't under life-threatening longevity pressure.

Shang could feel that he had gained enough momentum to reach the Seventh Realm.

If he wanted to, he could reach the Seventh Realm within the next couple of minutes.

This was already far better than when he had needed to comprehend the Concepts of Purgatory and Twilight to reach the Void Break Realm.

Naturally, reaching the Void Break Realm had been comparatively more difficult for Shang than reaching the Seventh Realm right now.

There were two reasons.

First of all, by going from the True Path Stage to the Fusion Realm, Shang's maximum longevity had only doubled, while going from the Fusion Realm to the Void Break Realm had quintupled it.

So, even though Shang had started very late in his life, he still had a lot of time remaining.

The second reason was that Shang had already reached a sixfold Spirit Sense.

If Shang had simply needed to learn a normal level five Concept, he would have probably finished even earlier since Shang had already elevated his level of existence.

And now, after undergoing his Transformation, Shang's mind had become much stronger, and his Affinity with basically everything had increased.

This made it even easier to comprehend things.

Another reason was that Shang already knew so much that he was becoming very good at figuring things out.

Finally, Shang was now truly making progress on the actual Path of a warrior, something Shang was incomparably talented in.

Supreme talent, an elevated body, an elevated mind, infinite resources, constant battle against powerful opponents, and not having to work for others.

All of these things combined resulted in Shang comprehending things on the same level as level four Concepts in less than a century.
