Background

Song Zhong returned home after his cousin Song Yichen absorbed his cultivation, finding both of his parents severely injured. His cultivation then recovered at an unprecedented pace, allowing him to protect his family and overturn the pressure imposed by Song Dingfeng's branch of the Song family 2.

He entered the Hundred Peaks Sect and became a disciple of Prison Suppressing Peak. His rapid cultivation, repeated victories on the Peak Rankings, and extraordinary ability to resonate with Divine Weapons made him a central figure within the sect 22 36 114.

During the Sealed Ruins and later conflicts, Song Zhong developed a lasting enmity with the Blood Fiend Demonic Sect and Daoxuan Sect. He repeatedly targeted Blood Fiend cultivators, destroyed the Daoxuan Sect single-handedly, and became powerful enough that other sects sought him as the leader of an alliance against the Blood Fiend Demonic Sect 215 216 284.

The Mountain Guardian Elder entrusted him with the Mountain Guardian Token before entering sleep, formally naming him the Hundred Peaks Sect's Mountain Guardian despite Song Zhong then being only in the Golden Body Realm 236.

Personality

Song Zhong is confident, ambitious, and unusually direct. He expects fair compensation for his help in capturing Divine Weapons and refuses requests he considers exploitative, even when pressured by disciples from other peaks 97 101.

He is fiercely protective of his family and allies. He prioritized his parents' safety during Yao Beichen's attack, saved Song Shilian from Star River Realm cultivators, rescued Tang Qianzi in battle, and intervened to save the Lord of Cherished Flowers 151 156 270 647.

His confidence can become casual irreverence: upon obtaining the Wrathful Thunder Dragon Blade, he immediately tested it against the ground and complained that its result was too weak 38.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Early cultivation and Hundred Peaks Sect entry

Song Zhong recovered from having his cultivation absorbed, rapidly climbed from Body Tempering to Qi Control, and defended his family against internal Song family pressure 2. He then excelled in the Hundred Peaks Sect assessment, entered the Heavenly Character First Courtyard, and displaced every other candidate by one placement 22.

Peak Rankings and Divine Weapon acquisition

He rose to first place on the Qi Transformation and Qi Guiding Realm Peak Rankings, then repeatedly obtained Divine Weapons from Hundred Peaks Cliff. These achievements established his reputation as an unusually fortunate and dangerous new disciple 36 41 88.

Sealed Ruins and sect conflicts

Song Zhong entered the Dual Sealed Ruins, killed cultivators who harassed Fan Meier, and became a target of Jian Kong's schemes over the Wind Sparrow Wings 46. His enemies later included five sects demanding that Hundred Peaks Sect surrender him, as well as the Blood Fiend Demonic Sect and Daoxuan Sect 97 115.

Golden Body Realm and Blood Fiend campaign

After advancing through the Golden Body Realm, Song Zhong actively absorbed Blood Crystals, slaughtered alien beasts, and relentlessly hunted Blood Fiend Demonic Sect disciples. His actions made him feared throughout the battlefield and directly threatened Jin Ranhuan's ambitions 214 215 216.

Mountain Guardian and alliance leader

The Mountain Guardian Elder named Song Zhong the sect's new Mountain Guardian 236. After Song Zhong destroyed the Daoxuan Sect, representatives of multiple sects sought an alliance under his leadership to eliminate the Blood Fiend Demonic Sect 284.

Later cultivation and cosmic conflict
