Divine Lightning Formed from Thunderbolt Dao Patterns

Song Zhong gazed at the lightning before him, then looked toward the Mountain Guardian Elder and the current Hundred Peaks Sect Leader within the grand formation. He said, "These are treasures the Heavenly Dao has bestowed upon the Hundred Peaks Sect."

Before he could finish, the Hundred Peaks Sect Leader had already said, "Without you, our Hundred Peaks Sect would never have had even the slightest chance of becoming the Hundred Peaks Sect. We old fellows would all have died.

"You saved the Hundred Peaks Sect.

"Moreover, we can all see that these resources are rewards the Heavenly Dao specifically granted you. Naturally, you should take them."

As soon as the sect leader finished speaking, the Mountain Guardian Elder also said, "Do not stand on ceremony with us. Take whatever you can use."

After a brief pause, he added, "Besides, if you do not take these things, who can? Take this lightning, for example. Its power is so terrifying that we would likely be blasted into dust merely by approaching it, much less taking it away!"

All around them, the disciples of the Hundred Peaks Sect also began speaking up one after another. "We succeeded in overcoming this tribulation entirely because of Junior Brother Song."

"That is right. If not for Junior Brother Song, the Hundred Peaks Sect would have ceased to exist long ago."

"If Martial Uncle Song does not take them, no one can take these resources!"

Listening to everyone, Song Zhong visibly choked up. No, that was not what I was trying to say. I only wanted to remind you that, as for the other resources, you should see whether they can be exchanged for something else, or find somewhere to store them.

As for the lightning and that magic treasure, I was definitely taking those.

Song Zhong reached out and grabbed the lightning before him. In the next instant, an incomparably terrifying might of lightning surged into his body. This Lightning Power clearly contained endless sharpness and boundless tearing force. At that moment, he even felt as though his entire body had been forcibly torn apart and cast into two separate spaces.

Spatial Power!

He was now a True Lord Realm cultivator, and his fleshly body was far stronger than before. Yet the instant he touched this bolt of lightning, his body was blasted open, blood streaming out.

Fortunately, the Lightning Power within his body began to flow in the next moment, producing resistance against this kind of lightning. Only then was he able to slowly draw the lightning into his body.

At the same time, a sound that seemed to arise from lightning bolts colliding and grinding against one another rang out in his mind.

"When the Universe first divided, that terrifying roar transformed into Nine Heavens Divine Lightning and split open chaos.

"In the spatial rifts that formed, Thunderbolt Dao Patterns remained behind. By comprehending these patterns, one can simultaneously grasp the laws of space and lightning.

"Among them, three Thunderbolt Dao Patterns transformed into three bolts of lightning filled with Spatial Power and Lightning Power: Instant Space Divine Lightning, Space Severing Divine Lightning, and World Lightning Space Divine Lightning.

"This lightning is Space Severing Divine Lightning."

As the voice faded, spell techniques appeared in Song Zhong's mind—techniques corresponding to the Space Severing Divine Lightning!

Song Zhong instantly immersed himself in the spells.

After quite some time, he finally returned to his senses.

These spells were more exquisite than any spell he had cultivated before.

The lightning itself contained spells.

The lightning he had encountered before would never explain its own origins, nor would it contain spells.

This lightning felt like an inheritance.

Song Zhong did not completely absorb the lightning, but since it had already entered his body, he no longer needed to concern himself with it. Instead, he looked toward the other treasures.

He raised a hand and took the Heaven-Ranked Excellent Grade magic treasure into his grasp.

Unlike many magic treasures, whose names could be sensed upon taking them in hand, this treasure gave no hint at all.

"This is also a lightning saber containing Spatial Power. Then I shall call it the Space Severing Blade." Song Zhong casually gave the saber a name, then looked over the other rewards before him.

"This magic treasure is not bad. This one works too. This one is useful to me..."

Song Zhong did not stand on ceremony with the people of the Hundred Peaks Sect. He truly took away every resource he could use, though a vast quantity of resources still remained here.

"Sect Leader, Mountain Guardian Elder, I have finished choosing. Put the rest into our resource treasury."

The moment Song Zhong finished speaking, the Mountain Guardian Elder's voice rang out. "Why not take all of these things with you as well?"

"Take them?" Song Zhong shook his head as he looked at the remaining resources. "Why would I take them? I truly was not being polite with you. I naturally took everything useful to me.

"I genuinely have no use for the rest."

"You may not need them now, but perhaps you will need them in the future." The Mountain Guardian Elder looked at Song Zhong, who was still so resolute, and sighed inwardly. Song Zhong's cultivation was already at the pinnacle, but he was still young after all. There were many matters he had not fully considered.

Left with no other choice, the Mountain Guardian Elder sent him a voice transmission. "Our Hundred Peaks Sect is too weak. So many cultivators have seen these resources. What if someone grows greedy in the future?

"With our strength, we cannot protect these resources.

"That is why I want you to take them away."

Song Zhong immediately laughed upon hearing this. "Mountain Guardian Elder, if you cannot protect them, you still have me."

As he spoke, Song Zhong stopped transmitting his voice and deliberately said aloud to the Mountain Guardian Elder, "I will set up another grand formation at the mountain gate of the Hundred Peaks Sect.

"So long as any cultivator forcibly breaks through the formation, a beam of light will shoot into the heavens. No matter where I am in our Human Great Thousand World, I will be able to sense it."

He deliberately said those words for the surrounding cultivators to hear. Anyone who coveted the resources that had descended after the Hundred Peaks Sect became the Hundred Peaks Sect had better weigh whether they could storm into the Hundred Peaks Sect and seize those resources before he arrived.

All around them, although the cultivators knew Song Zhong's words were meant for them, they still spoke up one after another. "Fellow Daoist Song, rest assured. We will also help watch over the Hundred Peaks Sect. No, it should be the Hundred Peaks Sect now."

"I believe no one in our Human Race would be so bold as to come and seize the Hundred Peaks Sect's resources!"

"Fellow Daoist Song, there is no need for you to worry about the Hundred Peaks Sect. Our Human Race will surely stand united. And if outsiders come, our Azure Mountain Sect can leave several experts within the Hundred Peaks Sect to help them resist the foreign races."

As soon as one cultivator said this, the other cultivators also reacted.

"Our Mountains and Seas Sect can leave behind experts as well. By the way, the Hundred Peaks Sect has cultivators who cultivate the Dao of earth and the Dao of water, correct? They can also receive some guidance."

"Our Burning Flames Sect can leave behind cultivators as well..."

"Our..."

One great sect after another declared that they could leave cultivators behind to protect the Hundred Peaks Sect and provide guidance. On one hand, they could curry favor with Song Zhong, for Song Zhong was destined to be the future of their Human Race.

There was another point they dearly wished to make: Song Zhong, True Lord Song, with strength like yours, is it really appropriate for you to still be only a True Lord?

Please stop worrying about other matters. Let us handle all of this for you. Hurry and focus on cultivation, or on finding a solution. There is not even a hundred years left now.

Zhengyi Immortal Emperor's injuries have yet to heal. Whether our Human Race can survive still depends on you.
