Try Tricking Me One More Time!

Peach Mountain.

Yu Zhenzi knelt before the South Heaven Gate, trembling and weeping, "Zhang Yang is too treacherous. He used some unknown Secret Method to steal all four Immortal Artifacts. This disciple is incompetent and begs the Ancestral Master for punishment. However, Zhang Yang's use of the Secret Method came at a great cost. Judging from his condition, he seems to have no strength left to use that Secret Method. This disciple begs the Ancestral Master to bestow upon me more Immortal Artifact. This time, I will surely slay that madman. If this is not possible, this disciple is willing to offer my head to the Ancestral Master as atonement!"

"..."

Outside the South Heaven Gate, a towering figure stood silently, yet his presence was as scorching and dazzling as the blazing sun.

Yu Zhenzi raised her head.

His face showed a mixture of fear and trepidation, yet also unwavering conviction.

The immortal shrouded in mysterious light outside pondered for a long time, seemingly hesitant.

Upon seeing this, Yu Zhenzi cried out in grief, "Ancestor, our Peach Mountain has invested so much in the mortal world, we must not give it away so easily!"

Ultimately, it was these words that moved the ancestral master.

Yu Zhenzi is right.

Peach Mountain located within the Lesser Shu Mountain Realm, and over the past 100,000 years, hundreds of thousands of Immortal Crystal have been deposited there.

If they give up now, Yu Zhenzi and the other cultivators and immortals Peach Mountain True Immortal Mountain will either have to escape from the Lesser Shu Mountain Realm or put up a stubborn resistance and ultimately be killed by that invincible figure in the Lesser Shu Mountain Realm.

Zhang Yang seized four Immortal Artifacts.

The marks left by it cannot be erased in a short period of time.

The immortal sensed that the Immortal Artifact was merely being suppressed by Secret Method, and that person was attempting to erase the mark.

Give him time, and he might actually succeed.

When that invincible figure named Zhang Yang comes to power and masters four Immortal Artifacts, who in the Lesser Shu Mountain Realm will be his match?

"We cannot give up."

"If Immortal Artifact is lost, it can be forged again."

"Even if True Immortal falls and is almost completely wiped out, as long as the Lesser Shu Mountain Realm is in hand, one or even more True Immortal can be created every five hundred years."

Having made up his mind, the Immortal of Peach Mountain Immortal bestowed upon him another set of Immortal Artifact, including ten top-tier Law Artifact. He also bestowed upon him hundreds of elixirs and immortal medicines to increase Law Power, strengthen the primordial Primordial Spirit, and nourish the physical body.

The original fifty-two True Immortal sent down were unable to form an effective fighting force in a short time, so they were dispersed to the lower realms to avoid any losses in the turbulent Peach Mountain at this time.

They thought that with the Immortal Artifact in hand, they could quickly resolve this crisis and find the fifty-two people without difficulty.

But the changes at this point were clearly beyond expectations.

Searching for each of the fifty-two True Immortal would be too time-consuming, laborious, and unreliable.

So be it.

The Peach Mountain Immortal summoned another fifty True Immortal, who passed through the Heaven Gate and arrived directly at Peach Mountain. With the help of those elixirs and immortal medicines, they could rapidly improve their abilities and, at most, form initial combat power within three months.

Outside of Peach Mountain.

After the third great battle, the number of Loose Immortal and demons on the Golden Peak Pavilion also decreased sharply, totaling only forty or fifty people.

As long as Zhang Yang is killed.

None of them amounted to anything.

True Immortal, Law Artifact, elixirs, and even Immortal Artifact were all bestowed upon him.

This time, they practically emptied Peach Mountain's coffers.

If there is any loss, the consequences will be severe.

However, as long as there is an immortal in charge, the foundation of Peach Mountain will not be shaken.

The Peach Mountain Immortal said coldly, "Prepare quickly! In three months, I want to hear the news that Zhang Yang is dead and the situation is settled!"

"Rest assured, Master, I will not fail you!"

Yu Zhenzi was overjoyed and patted his chest in celebration.

After the Peach Mountain Immortal departed.

After 'Yu Zhenzi' closed the Heaven Gate, he ordered his men to 'properly settle' all the True Immortal realm.

"Pattern-Viewing Sword".

As he played with the second Immortal Artifact bestowed upon him by the Peach Mountain Immortal, Yu Zhenzi smiled.

In no time.

Master Snow Ridge Kongjue, Patriarch Kongkong North Sea Hai Kong Kong, and Lord Heaven Mountain Jun Mowen arrived together, each holding an Immortal Artifact in their hands.

The four worked in perfect harmony.

They all burst into laughter.

Holding an Immortal Artifact in one hand, he flipped the other hand and another Immortal Artifact appeared in his hand.

"Great Mount Sumeru in the Snow Ridge: Demon-Subduing Golden Ring, Purple-Gold Alms Bowl".

Both the Great Mount Sumeru and the Upper Origin Palace the Four Sages Immortal Domain migrated from the Black Star Realm, and the Immortal Artifact and treasures within them are of the same lineage as the Great Mount Sumeru on Maple Moon Star.

However, on Maple Moon Star, the two treasures were only eighth-order Law Artifact.

Lu Qingfeng obtained it and bestowed it upon Zhang Yang, but it was destroyed under the Heavenly Tribulation of the Lesser Shu Mountain Realm.

Fate is mysterious.

Unexpectedly, as the old artifacts were gone, new ones arrived, and they were already at the level of Immortal Artifact.

Besides these two Immortal Artifact—

"Heavenly Mountain Jade Dragon Sect: Heaven-and-Earth Sword, Wavewatch Sword".

"Peach Blossom Sword Sect of Peach Mountain: Voidspace Seal, Pattern-Viewing Sword".

"North Sea Langhuan Heavenly Abode: Wishful Sword, Heavenly Abode Divine Arrow".

There are also six more Immortal Artifact.

Although they are all first-tier items, no one can ever have too many Immortal Artifacts.

Moreover, this is a case of enriching oneself at the expense of the enemy, which makes it even more satisfying.

"Two Immortal Artifact."

"One hundred True Immortal."

"And then there are the four sects of True Immortal in the Lesser Shu Mountain Realm."

Lu Qingfeng pondered for a moment.

In just a few months, he caused each of the four factions to lose over a hundred True Immortal and two Immortal Artifacts.

The two groups of over four hundred True Immortal from the four sects who had already entered the Lesser Shu Mountain Realm were like meat on a chopping block, at the mercy of others.

This time.

Even the Peach Mountain Four Sects, each with an immortal presiding over them, would be severely damaged.

"Many voices can melt metal."

"I'm not afraid of alerting the four sects of immortals."

"But after losing so many True Immortal and Immortal Artifact in a row, we've probably reached our limit."

After thinking for a moment, Yu Zhenzi finally decided, "Let's try tricking him again!"

Seven days later.

Wild and desolate mountains.

Inside the Black Mountain.

"Grandmaster!"

"Grandmaster!"

Jiao Yang, looking exhausted and disheveled, knelt before the Heaven Gate and cried out to the increasingly silent Immortal Ancestor outside the South Heaven Gate: "The treacherous villain has infiltrated Peach Mountain. Yu Zhenzi led the remaining fifty-six True Immortal in the mortal realm to fight to the death, but their Life and Death is now unknown. He secretly entrusted the Heaven Gate to his disciples and fled Peach Mountain as soon as possible. I have come to report to the Ancestor."

Outside the South Heaven Gate.

The immortal remained silent.

Jiao Yang, his face filled with sorrow, said, "The foundation of humanity has been destroyed. Please, Master, make a decision soon!"

The Peach Mountain Immortal remained silent.

Decision?

How to make a decision?

No Earth Immortal are allowed to set foot in the Lesser Shu Mountain Realm.

Sending True Immortal immortals down to the mortal realm now would be a case of too little, too late. Besides, even if those True Immortal were all fully grown, how could they possibly be a match for Zhang Yang, who was already invincible and now wields Immortal Artifact?!

"The tide has turned!"

"The tide has turned!"

The Peach Mountain Immortal sighed inwardly.

The world is full of countless changes, even for Earth Immortal being like an immortal. Within the Lesser Shu Mountain Realm, the four sects were initially in a favorable position; who could have imagined that it could be overturned so suddenly?!

It's a pity that he invested hundreds of thousands of Immortal Crystal in Peach Mountain, a pity that he had more than two hundred True Immortal experts, and a pity that he had spent many years refining the two Immortal Artifacts!

"Immortal Artifact!"

"Immortal Artifact!"

Even the Peach Mountain Immortal was heartbroken at this moment.

The thought of losing the two Immortal Artifact he had painstakingly crafted from the best of his ability caused the Peach Mountain Immortal to feel a pang in his heart.

It is not mentioned on the surface.

He then addressed Jiao Yang, a disciple of the True Immortal Sect who had descended to the mortal realm seven days prior, saying, "You should hold onto the Heaven Gate, find a hiding place, and await fortuitous opportunity in the future. It is not impossible to make Peach Mountain rise again."

The Peach Mountain Immortal finally understood.

With Zhang Yang around, the foundation of Peach Mountain in the lower realm is hard to stabilize.

But he was ultimately an Earth Immortal being.

He was already Changsheng being.

Watching the tides rise and fall, witnessing the myriad aspects of human life, cultivates a maturity and wisdom far beyond the ordinary. With a long-term vision, ten thousand or two hundred thousand years are nothing more than a blink of an eye.

And what about Zhang Yang?

Within the Lesser Shu Mountain Realm, no matter how powerful one's abilities, one is merely True Immortal. True Immortal have a lifespan of 129,600 years, but within the Lesser Shu Mountain Realm, due to numerous tribulations, they rarely live even an average of 10,000 to 20,000 years.

Even though Zhang Yang is powerful, he is not afraid of numerous tribulations.

But upon reaching the "Five Declines of Heaven and Man," one must either die or become an immortal. Whether one becomes an immortal or dies, there is no one else in the Lesser Shu Mountain Realm who is so invincible.

Peach Mountain may still be able to rise again.

That's where the fortuitous opportunity lies.

After all, there are still many immortals who have descended to the True Immortal hiding in various places in the Lesser Shu Mountain Realm, like a spark that will eventually spread like wildfire.

"This Zhang Yang, a mere mortal cultivator, possesses such strength. He must have entered the 'Five Declines of Heaven and Man and Man' level, where his strength fluctuates, and he is currently at his most powerful peak."

"So it seems so."

"This place is truly wondrous; we must not give up easily. If you cultivate diligently, you may very well achieve the Earth Immortal Dao Fruit."

Peach Mountain Immortal rushed to Jiao Yang Road.

Upon hearing this, Jiao Yang's expression immediately brightened, and he repeatedly said, "This disciple will certainly live up to the ancestor's high expectations!"

Then.

After being given a few more instructions by the Peach Mountain Immortal, he was urged to quickly close the Heaven Gate to avoid revealing his whereabouts.

Jiao Yang nodded in agreement.

Wait until the Heaven Gate is closed.

"It was originally thought that Zhang Yang had reached the level of 'the Five Declines of Heaven and Man'."

"So--"

"If we turn the tables and lie that Zhang Yang is facing a calamity and his strength has been greatly reduced, I wonder if we can trick another sect into giving us an Immortal Artifact?"

Jiao Yang thought to himself and made a plan.

Three months later.

It was still a barren mountain.

Jun Mowen, the leader of the Seven Swords of the Wuwen Sword Heavenly Mountain Jade Dragon Sect, along with the six True Immortal who descended to the mortal realm with him, bowed before the Heaven Gate. Jun Mowen, his expression impassioned, said, "Reporting to the Ancestor, the demon Zhang Yang is currently in the state of 'Five Declines of Heaven and Man and Man.' The other day, when he was chasing the Patriarch Kongkong of Langhuan Heavenly Abode Mansion, a foul stench suddenly emanated from Zhang Yang. His expression changed abruptly, and he turned and left."

The body smells foul.

It is said that the wondrous bodies of the heavenly beings are different, naturally fragrant and pure, but when their blessings run out and their lifespan ends, they suddenly become foul and filthy.

This is the fourth of the Five Declines of Heaven and Man.

Heaven Gate, upon hearing this, the Jade Dragon Immortal's voice was clear yet somewhat hesitant. "Did he see it clearly?"

"Patriarch Kongkong is absolutely certain: There is no mistake!"

Jun Mowen what is going on.

The Jade Dragon Immortal remained silent, seemingly lost in thought.

Seeing this, Jun Mowen said urgently, "Opportunity knocks but once! Please make a decision, Master!"

"Please make a decision as soon as possible, Master."

The six immortals who had descended to the True Immortal behind him also spoke in unison.

However.

Jade Dragon Immortal pondered for a long time, and finally shook his head, "Even if his strength is weakened, how confident are I in killing this Liao? Forget it! Forget it! Let's wait until he dies and is reincarnated, or ascends to heaven, before making any plans."

The Jade Dragon Immortal had unspeakable suffering.

He lost both of his Immortal Artifact in the Lesser Shu Mountain Realm. Even if there were an opportunity now, where would he find another Immortal Artifact to bestow upon him?

Go borrow it?

Putting aside whether we can borrow it or not, what if we lose it after borrowing it?

It's better to play it safe.

As Earth Immortal, he had plenty of time.

"Wait patiently."

Jade Dragon Immortal gave a word of advice, paused, then looked at Jun Mowen and asked in a sinister voice, "In your opinion, have the other three sects acted strangely these past few days?"

"Eccentric?"

Upon hearing this, Jun Mowen immediately understood the meaning behind the Jade Dragon Immortal's words.

This suggests that there is a mole among them.

After thinking for a moment, Jun Mowen shook his head and said, "The three sects fought with all their might, and almost all the True Immortal in our sects died in battle, so there should be no problem."

Upon hearing this, the Jade Dragon Immortal said nothing more and, unwilling to deal with these troublesome matters any longer, disappeared.

Jun Mowen closed the Heaven Gate and shook his head. "Once I leave the Lesser Shu Mountain Realm, it will be the death of the four sects 'Earth Immortal. There's no need to sow discord and create unnecessary variables."

If his strength is limited, this plan could be very effective.

However, given his current cultivation and combat strength, there's no need to overcomplicate things. If it were to truly cause suspicion among the four factions, it would be impossible for the four Earth Immortal to fight to the death in a short time.

On the contrary, we should worry that they will report this matter to higher authorities, attracting unnecessary attention.

After all.

The four factions scheme against each other, which is ultimately different from the situation in the mortal world where an invincible figure has emerged.
