The Immortality Peach Tree is something like "Medicinal Human Material", yet it is not as easily acquired as the Medicinal Human Material.
Its cultivation requires the expenditure of your power and the accumulation of Yang Qi, and even if you try your best to hasten its maturity, it still takes two to three years for the Immortality Peach Tree to mature.
There are no seeds for the Immortality Peach Tree; it might not necessarily be an "Immortality Peach Tree". If the "Spirit of Mountains and Rivers" is willing, it could be a "Plum Tree" or an "Apple Tree". Nevertheless, ordinary fruits contain the power catalyzed by the exertion and time of the Spirit of Mountains and Rivers.
This gave Song Cheng a deeper understanding of the previous Mountain God of Accumulating Thunder Mountain.
It was clear that the Mountain God weakened itself as an "Immortality Peach Tree" to lure the newborn Zhan.
Unfortunately... man’s calculations are inferior to heaven’s.
The Mountain God never expected that someone else was covetously eyeing it from the side.

Tonight’s dinner was unprecedentedly lavish.
However, Song Cheng couldn’t eat. He just watched as the five women ate happily.
Ting looked at Song Cheng in surprise.
Song Cheng also looked at his eldest daughter, who was now forty-six years old.
Perhaps because he spent such long periods of time in cultivation, fusion, and battle, even though Ting had the appearance of a grandmother, in his heart, she was still the little girl in the snowy courtyard of the An Residence, who, with her baby voice, called out "Daddy".
After dinner, he sat by Ting’s bed and began to seriously teach her the Fusion Secret Technique.
Ting didn’t have much time left, and her energy was dwindling; he wanted to give her this chunk of Ice Fire Mountain.
After cultivating the Wood Spirit Evergreen Scripture to Great Perfection, combined with the notes of the previous Mountain God of Accumulating Thunder Mountain, he could roughly guess the process of the "Zhen Town" fusion.
His Divine Soul was bound in the center of Ice Fire Mountain; he needed more Divine Soul nourishment.
On the other hand, Zhan was the exact opposite.
Zhan was a powerful Divine Soul, carefully surviving within the mortal shell, and Zhan needed a stronger body.
Thus, this fusion was Zhan heading towards the core of the town.
If Zhan could reach it successfully and still had the strength to swallow the town, then it meant Zhan had managed to fuse with the town.
However, before entering that core, Zhan would continue to "melt", and the town would continue to absorb its nutrients and grow stronger.
In this process, "Zhan" was the attacker, while "town" was the defender. The final battlefield was the place where the soul of the mountain and river’s body was stored, akin to the Purple Palace located between human eyebrows.
The struggle was brutal.
But not so for Song Cheng.
He was not incapable of escaping the mountain and river’s physical shell; he simply had not sacrificed the Ninefold Ghostly Tower and the Eight Ghosts.
So, Ting’s fusion was like "attacking a defenseless nation". As long as Ting reached the core successfully, Song Cheng would leave swiftly, and during his departure, he would use the Yin Qi of the Eight Ghosts to replenish Ting’s Divine Soul power.
That was Song Cheng’s plan.
He had thought it over and over again, and now he looked down at his daughter tenderly, with a hand made of leaves, gently caressing her cheek as he softly explained the process.
Yet, he couldn’t ensure absolute success, for Ting was not truly Zhan.
"You are the Nine Yang Mysterious Spirit. Your fusion process will be more difficult than others, but this is normal... If you encounter obstacles, no matter how huge, never give up, because this is normal."
"I know, Daddy." Ting obediently responded.
In front of Song Cheng, she was always so well-behaved.
After more than a month of preparation, Song Cheng sent the other four daughters to the edge of Ice Fire Mountain and then took Ting to the weakest spot of the Earthfire in Ice Fire Mountain.
This place was equivalent to the weakest spot of his physical shell. In a normal "Zhan Town" fusion, no matter where Zhan was, it would invariably be moved by the town to the most intense spot of the Earthfire to be maximally consumed.
But Song Cheng intended to give Ice Fire Mountain to Ting.
"Let’s start."
He looked at Ting and then grabbed her hand, manipulating Yang Qi to begin invading Ting.
Ting immediately became drenched in sweat, but the Yin Qi deep within her soul burst forth quickly to counteract.
Song Cheng was nervous, yet he still carefully guided her step by step.
For a long time...
And longer still...
Ting’s body grew limp, and she entered the core, instinctively starting to fuse and cocoon the white light connecting the mountains and rivers, while Song Cheng quickly summoned the Ninefold Ghostly Tower, pulling seven ghosts with him from the first to the seventh level, along with his "Great Dark Heaven" to the ninth level, before he leapt out and became a division of dark multiplex evil spirits, rushing out quickly.
He deliberately headed to places with abundant Yang Qi, causing the evil spirits wrapped around him like armor to transform into Yin Qi.

It was an unprecedented fusion.
By the time he leaped out, Song Cheng felt that the seven ghosts were significantly weakened, while he rapidly burrowed back to his True Self.
In an instant, he returned to his True Self, and upon checking the interface,
The data fell back; he had reverted from "Earth-level Grade D" to "Xuan-level A".
"It worked!"
Song Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.
But now, he could no longer ascertain Ting’s situation.
Man proposes... God disposes.
What was left was in the hands of fate.
Because the fusion process went smoothly, Ice Fire Mountain did not exhibit the conditions experienced during the previous fusion of "Accumulating Thunder Mountain Mountain God and the Physician".
After observing for several more days, Song Cheng decided to continue deeper into this land, seeking a second "Land of Ruin", and then to hand it over to Mo in the same way.
Ding Yuan did not leave with him but stayed behind, waiting for Ting, no matter how long it took...
Mo, Ling, and Ying did not leave, either.
