Senior Sister's Request

"This was an eighth-rank high-grade Divine Weapon. Even among eighth-rank high-grade Divine Weapons, it was among the strongest."

Tang Qianzi had already guessed that this was a top-tier Divine Weapon, but upon hearing the Mountain Guardian Elder's words, she still became utterly unable to stay calm.

An eighth-rank high-grade Divine Weapon—the strongest Divine Weapon in their Hundred Peaks Sect was only eighth-rank high-grade.

Yet the Mountain Guardian Elder had added that Song Zhong's Divine Weapon was extremely powerful even among eighth-rank high-grade Divine Weapons.

Did that not mean it was even stronger than the Hundred Peaks Sect's strongest Divine Weapon?

As the Mountain Guardian Elder spoke, he let out another faint sigh. "Unfortunately, the Lightning Power contained within this Heavenly Fiend Thunder Blade was nearly depleted during that great battle. Afterward, the Grand Elder of the Absolute Thunder Demonic Sect also died in battle.

"No one replenished the Lightning Power within it.

"Its might has diminished considerably.

"If you wish to unleash its power, you will need to infuse it with Lightning Power anew.

"Moreover, the Lightning Power within it must be infused by the Divine Weapon's owner.

"So in the future, how much power this Divine Weapon possesses will depend on how much lightning you can master, and how strong your Lightning Power is."

Song Zhong immediately understood and asked, "So you mean that if the Lightning Power I infuse into it is stronger than that Grand Elder from the Absolute Thunder Demonic Sect—

"Then this Divine Weapon can become stronger as well?"

"In theory, yes. But obtaining stronger lightning will not be easy." The Mountain Guardian Elder gently shook his head.

"Right, what exactly was that Absolute Thunder Demonic Sect? How come I've never heard of it?"

As Song Zhong spoke, he began calculating in his heart. Thirty-six types of lightning?

But I have the Thunder of Azure Nothingness. My Thunder of Azure Nothingness can fuse with all lightning.

Couldn't I just use the Thunder of Azure Nothingness?

Its power would surely be greater than thirty-six different kinds of lightning, right?

"The Absolute Thunder Demonic Sect has already vanished." The Mountain Guardian Elder said solemnly, "Back then, the Absolute Thunder Demonic Sect was the only Demon Sect on the demonic path that cultivated the Lightning Dao.

"After that battle, some people from the Absolute Thunder Demonic Sect remained. Because their ideals differed, they each established their own sects.

"They became today's Devouring Thunder Demonic Sect, Fearful Thunder Demonic Sect, and Profound Thunder Demonic Sect—the three great Demon Sects of the demonic path that cultivate the Lightning Dao."

Song Zhong nodded lightly. Now he understood why he could resonate with this Divine Weapon through spiritual energy.

After all, he had inherited the legacy of True Lord of Dark Thunder. True Lord of Dark Thunder had been the sect master of the Devouring Thunder Demonic Sect.

Song Zhong still wanted to ask more questions when voices suddenly rang out in the distance.

He grabbed the Divine Weapon and directly stored it in his Universe Ring. Raising his head, he saw figures flying to the outskirts of Hundred Peaks Cliff. Of course, they merely landed beside Tang Qianzi.

"Tang Qianzi?"

"A disciple of Prison Suppressing Peak?"

"Could the person Tang Qianzi brought be that Song Zhong?"

"It's him. I've seen him before."

"What Divine Weapon did he get? He put it away?"

For a moment, everyone felt terrible. Why was it him again?!

This fellow had come three times and obtained three top-tier Divine Weapons!

Song Zhong no longer questioned anyone and instead walked toward Tang Qianzi.

As for the people around them, what did they have to do with him?

His master was still looking for him. He needed to go back and see his master.

Yet Tang Qianzi remained where she was.

"Junior Brother, my good Junior Brother, help Senior Sister with a favor." Tang Qianzi narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Song Zhong with a smile brimming in them.

"What favor?" Song Zhong looked at Tang Qianzi's smile, and the more he looked, the more something felt off.

"Junior Brother, Senior Sister still has a Peak Cliff Token.

"I'll give it to you. Junior Brother, how about you help Senior Sister try to pull up a Divine Weapon?"

Tang Qianzi looked at her Junior Brother expectantly. Her Junior Brother's luck was simply heaven-defying—he had come three times and obtained three top-tier Divine Weapons. The last time, he had even pulled up an eighth-rank high-grade Divine Weapon.

What was there to think about? Naturally, she had to have her Junior Brother help her.

"Um..." Song Zhong pointed at himself and said, "Didn't they say that when Divine Weapons resonate, what you pull up are Divine Weapons that resonate with you?

"Senior Sister, aren't you afraid that I'll pull up a Divine Weapon suitable for me but not for you?"

"Not afraid." Tang Qianzi pointed at Song Zhong, then at herself. "We're both disciples of Prison Suppressing Peak, and we both cultivate the Lightning Dao. What do I have to fear?

"If you pull up a Divine Weapon of the Lightning Dao, how could I possibly be unable to use it?"

"That does seem to make some sense." Song Zhong nodded, then thought of something else and said, "But I might not necessarily pull up a hammer."

Though they had not known each other for long, Senior Sister had truly been helping him all along.

Besides, his cultivation was still weak for now, and he needed time to grow.

There were only four people in their lineage including him.

Senior Sister was now one of his backers. If he did not help Senior Sister, who would he help? In any case, he had nothing to lose.

"It's fine. Senior Sister doesn't have to use a hammer." Tang Qianzi took out the Peak Cliff Token and handed it to Song Zhong.

If he really pulled up a top-tier Divine Weapon, who cared whether it was a hammer or not!

All around them, people's eyes widened.

Prison Suppressing Peak could have benefits like this?

Still, Tang Qianzi's method really did seem feasible.

If someone from their own peak obtained top-tier Divine Weapons three times in a row, they would do the same!

Unfortunately, Song Zhong was not from their peak.

Song Zhong accepted the Peak Cliff Token, turned, and once more walked before the Mountain Guardian Elder. Looking at the mountain cliff below, an idea struck him, and he asked, "Elder, I suddenly seem to be afraid of heights.

"Could you let my Senior Sister come over? I'll hold Senior Sister's little hand, then release spiritual energy?"

If Senior Sister came over and secretly released a little spiritual energy into his body, then he went to pull... he wondered whether he could pull up a Divine Weapon suited to Senior Sister.

The people around them instantly fell speechless. Afraid of heights?

You had already pulled up three Divine Weapons without saying you were afraid of heights, and now you were afraid?

You even dared to make demands of the Mountain Guardian Elder. Didn't you see that they were all standing far away, not daring to approach? Did you think the Mountain Guardian Elder was so easy to talk to?

You...

The Mountain Guardian Elder was also slightly stunned. In all these years, no one had ever made such a request of him.

He could guess what Song Zhong wanted to do.

Song Zhong's approach was actually somewhat against the rules, but...

The Mountain Guardian Elder glanced into the distance, then nodded faintly. "Little girl Qianzi, come over."

As the Mountain Guardian of the Hundred Peaks Sect, he too hoped that the disciples of the Hundred Peaks Sect could obtain more—and better—Divine Weapons.
