Sword God in a World of Magic

He was dead set on comprehending Void Casting before his longevity would end, which was in about 280 years.     

Shang was around 720 years old now, which was very old already for someone in the Fifth Realm.     

Someone of such an age would normally be considered as someone whose Path had come to an end. They would only continue coasting along until their longevity ran out, never reaching the next Realm.     

Sadly, spending so much time in each Realm was the only way for Shang to get a solid foundation.     

If Shang's Path had already been planned out in the beginning, he could have done a couple of training exercises for his body while comprehending the Concepts of Addition and Subtraction.     

Additionally, there would have probably also been better methods for warriors to comprehend Void Casting.     

However, Shang was the strongest warrior.     

There was no Path he could follow.     

He had to create his own.
