Faced with Lu Ya's aggressive aura, Qin Feng didn't even lift his eyelids. He just played with the empty wine glass in his hand, his tone as lazy as if he had just woken up.
"Where did this pheasant come from? It certainly has a loud voice."
"When did Yaochi turn into a chicken farm?"
puff.
Taibai Jinxing, who had just swallowed his tea, almost spat it out again.
pheasant?
That was the Essence of Li Fire, the Great Sun Tathagata, and the former Crown Prince of the Demon Court!
Lu Ya's arrogant face twisted instantly, his Solar True Fire surged violently, and the Immortal Slaying Flying Knife in the gourd hummed loudly, as if it was about to turn around at any moment.
However, before he could even make a move...
Smack
A jade whisk appeared out of nowhere, effortlessly scattering the fiery inferno.
Zhen Yuanzi stood in front of Qin Feng, his once kind and gentle face now chilling to the bone.
" Lu Ya, do you want what's in my arms?"
Immediately afterwards.
"Presumptuous!"
With a wave of her Queen Mother of the West robe, the Yaochi Array roared into operation, and countless terrifying metal-elemental laws locked onto Lu Ya's brow.
Let's look behind Qin Feng.
Yun Xiao's Primal Chaos Golden Dou Cauldron shone brightly, Shi Ji drew her sword, and even Long Ji, who was obediently massaging his legs, silently took out the Five Fire Seven Bird Fan.
A terrifying pressure, powerful enough to overturn the entire Primordial World, directly slammed into Lu Ya's face.
Lu Ya froze.
He looked at the room full of big shots who were ready to devour him alive at any moment, and his Adam's apple bobbed with difficulty.
Especially Zhen Yuanzi's murderous gaze—he's the kind of person who would even bite a saint to protect his food.
"Misunderstanding... misunderstanding."
Lu Ya's flames instantly went out, and he forced a smile that looked more like a grimace. He smoothly put away the gourd and turned to dart into a corner.
"I'm just... trying to liven things up."
"I just saw an empty seat over there, I'll go over there right now."
He slunk away and sat down next to Kunpeng.
The two once- Great Powers demon clan members stared at each other, then sighed simultaneously, displaying a poignant sense of shared misfortune.
After this little "pre-dinner interlude," the atmosphere of the banquet was actually pushed to a climax.
"Play music!"
With a command from the Queen Mother of the West.
This time, it really began.
Immortal Music music played, but it was no longer the decadent kind of music; instead, it was a profound melody filled with the Great Dao Charm.
A procession of graceful fairy maidens, carrying Dragon Liver Phoenix Marrow and Nectar and Jade Liquid, and fine wines only found in legends, moved like butterflies among flowers between the seats.
As the Dao Master, the Queen Mother of the West slowly rose to her feet.
The moment she stood there, the clamor in the hall seemed to be choked, instantly vanishing.
Everyone straightened their backs, especially the male immortals who wanted to become familiar with the Empress. They held their heads high, as if they wanted to have the words "I am excellent" engraved on their foreheads.
Haotian, seated in the second seat, straightened his clothes, picked up the wine glass that had been prepared beforehand, and wore a reserved yet dignified smile.
As is customary.
After the Queen Mother of the West delivers her address, the first cup of wine will inevitably be offered to the Heavenly Emperor, the true ruler of the Three Realms.
This is a matter of rules, and also a matter of face.
Even though there was a slight unpleasantness just now, Haotian believed that the Queen Mother of the West was still sensible in this important situation.
"Today, at the Jade Pond Grand Gathering, all the wise men have gathered."
The Queen Mother of the West's voice was clear, cold, and majestic, echoing throughout every corner of the Yaochi.
"I am very pleased."
As she spoke, she picked up the crystal-clear jade cup and slowly walked down from the Phoenix Terrace.
It's here!
Haotian took a deep breath, turned slightly to the side, and prepared to stand up and return the greeting.
It's getting closer.
Closer now.
A fragrant breeze wafted by, and the hem of the Queen Mother of the West's skirt brushed against Haotian's desk.
Haotian's buttocks had barely left the chair an inch, and the smile on his lips had only just begun to bloom.
call--
The fragrant breeze swept past him without lingering for a moment.
It's like passing by a rock that's barely noticeable.
Haotian's smile froze on his face. His half-squatting, half-standing posture looked like he was practicing some unknown evil skill, which was extremely comical.
All eyes in the room followed the figure of the Queen Mother of the West.
The high and mighty Head of Female Immortals walked straight to the main table and stopped in front of the white-robed youth who was being fed grapes by Chang'e.
Her originally aloof face melted away like ice and snow, revealing a smile that would put Baihuaxiu.
"It is an honor for Yaochi to have such a distinguished figure Alliance Leader Qin here today."
The Queen Mother of the West held her cup with both hands, leaning slightly forward. At this moment, her beautiful eyes reflected only the image of Qin Feng.
"I will first offer a toast to the Alliance Leader."
boom!
In that instant, all the immortals present seemed to hear the sound of Haotian's heart breaking.
Ignore it!
Utterly ignore it!
They ignored the Heavenly Emperor as if he didn't exist, yet showed the utmost respect to a gigolo.
This isn't just a slap in the face; it's like rubbing the Heavenly Court's face on the ground until sparks fly!
The Ancestor Minghe in the corner shrank his neck and muttered under his breath:
"Luckily, I didn't think too highly of myself, otherwise I'd probably want to crawl into a hole right now."
Faced with the Queen Mother of the West's generous offer of wine, Qin Feng naturally wouldn't be presumptuous.
He patted Long Ji, who was still massaging his legs, signaling to stop the service, then slowly stood up and picked up his wine glass.
" Your Empress is too kind."
Qin Feng smiled, his gaze sweeping unabashedly over the Queen Mother of the West's stunningly beautiful face.
"It's my honor to be able to come here and freeload, and even have beautiful women by my side."
The two men's glasses clinked lightly, producing a crisp sound.
He drank it all in one gulp.
I thought this was just a polite opening remark.
But the Queen Mother of the West had no intention of leaving.
Then, a clever fairy maiden immediately stepped forward with a wine jug and refilled their cups.
" Alliance Leader Qin."
While pouring the wine, the Queen Mother of the West moved even closer, her phoenix eyes slightly narrowed, revealing a hint of inquiry and probing.
"I heard that the Immortal Alliance has been active in the Netherworld recently, and even the Empress Pingxin has shown favor to the Alliance Leader."
She asked, seemingly casually:
"I wonder what insights Alliance Leader Qin has regarding this Dao of Reincarnation?"
Upon hearing this, the Great Powers who had been eavesdropping all around turned solemn.
This is a test!
It's also a test!
Everyone knows that although the Queen Mother of the West is in charge of female immortals, she has always longed for the mysterious and unpredictable Dao of Reincarnation, but has never been able to enter it.
This is them trying to find out Qin Feng's strength!
If the answer is poor, it's just a pretty face with no substance; if the answer is too profound, it easily reveals one's lack of knowledge.
Qin Feng swirled his wine glass, looked at the amber liquid rippling within, and smiled.
Reincarnation?
He's never died, so what does he know about reincarnation?
But that doesn't stop him from acting like a big shot.
"Reincarnation, huh..."
Qin Feng raised his head, his eyes becoming incredibly deep at that moment, as if he could see through countless ages.
It's just a circle.
"Life is the beginning of death, and death is the continuation of life."
"Just like this glass of wine."
He pointed to the wine glass, his tone becoming elusive and unpredictable:
"You drink it, and it's gone. But it transforms into the aroma of wine, into pleasure, into the cause and effect of our present moment."
"You say it's there, but it's no longer in the cup; you say it's not there, but it's eternal in this moment."
"This is reincarnation."
Follow your heart, follow your nature, follow fate.
quiet.
You could hear a pin drop at that scene.
All the Great Powers gaped, their minds buzzing.
I didn't quite understand it, but it sounded really impressive!
The saying "Life is the beginning of death, and death is the continuation of life" is particularly profound, pointing directly to the Great Dao Origin Tao!
Even Zhen Yuanzi's eyes lit up, and he stroked his beard, nodding repeatedly.
"Wonderful! Wonderful!"
" The Great Dao is Simple! Brother Qin's words may seem simple, but they contain profound wisdom!"
The Queen Mother of the West's beautiful eyes sparkled repeatedly.
Looking at the man before her, who was speaking so eloquently, she felt as if he were shrouded in a mist, becoming more and more captivating the more she looked at him.
" The Alliance Leader's insights are profound; I have learned a great deal."
The Queen Mother of the West raised her cup again, her gaze even more fervent.
"Then I will toast the Alliance Leader once more."
He downed it in one gulp again.
This time, the Queen Mother of the West didn't beat around the bush; instead, she directly posed the ultimate question that had troubled everyone.
" Alliance Leader Qin is so young, yet he possesses such cultivation, a rare Chaos Treasure, and even his insights into the Dao are so unique."
She leaned forward, her breath sweet as orchids:
"May I ask, Alliance Leader... who your master is?"
This question truly resonated with everyone.
Even Haotian, who was pretending to admire the scenery but whose ears were actually perked up like a rabbit's, unconsciously held his breath.
Is it Dao Ancestor Hongjun?
Is it the Great Immortal Yang Mei?
Or is it some ineffable, ancient existence within this chaos?
Despite being the center of attention, Qin Feng remained calm and composed.
Apprenticeship?
My master is the system, but can I tell you that?
He put down his wine cup, his gaze passing over the dome of Yaochi and looking into the endless void, a lonely yet arrogant expression on his face.
I have no master.
Qin Feng said calmly.
The entire audience erupted in uproar.
No master? How is that possible!
"Everything in heaven and earth can be a teacher."
Qin Feng's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears.
"The wind is my teacher, the clouds are my teacher, the wine in this cup is my teacher, and the person before me... is also my teacher."
At this point, he suddenly turned his head, looked at the Queen Mother of the West who was so close to him, and a wicked smile appeared on his lips:
" Her Empress's hospitality today has taught me a lesson."
The Queen Mother of the West asked instinctively, "What's the reason?"
Qin Feng leaned close to her ear and said in a flirtatious tone, in a voice only the two of them could hear:
"Being a kept man is definitely much better than working hard to cultivate oneself."
boom!
The Queen Mother of the West's elegant and beautiful face instantly turned bright red.
Looking at Qin Feng's teasing gaze, her heart fluttered, and she was momentarily lost in thought.
This person...
How could this person say such things with such confidence and such captivating emotion?
"You..."
The Queen Mother of the West glared at him reproachfully, her eyes no longer displaying the majesty of the Head of Female Immortals, but clearly those of a little woman caught in the throes of love.
This scene was witnessed by everyone.
That is, after their "discussion on the Dao," the two achieved a kind of spiritual resonance and were engaged in a deep Spiritual Sense exchange.
"High!"
"That's brilliant!"
Many male immortals roared in their hearts, their admiration for Qin Feng flowing like a never-ending river.
With just a few words, he not only defused all the probing, but also effortlessly made the Queen Mother of the West blush.
This is a role model for us all!
And Haotian was sitting over there.
Watching the two whispering intimately, and then looking at the glass of wine in my hand that had completely gone cold.
Click.
The fourth Glazed Goblet was gloriously sacrificed.
Taibai Jinxing looked at the shards of glass scattered on the table, silently took out a new handkerchief from his sleeve, and covered the glass with it.
It's unbearable to look at.
It's unbearable to look at.
This is hardly Peach Banquet!
This is clearly His Majesty's day of suffering!
