Qin Feng screamed inwardly: Holy crap! So this is what a true Primordial World powerhouse is like? This young master is about to piss himself!
Di Jun and Taiyi were both at the Quasi-Saint realm.
Golden Immortals were already undying and indestructible beings, while Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals were even stronger, beginning to grasp the Great Dao Laws.
As for those closest to sainthood, the might of Quasi-Saint powerhouses was easy to imagine.
In fact, even a single strand of hair or a drop of blood from a Quasi-Saint contained terrifying power.
Moreover, Di Jun and Taiyi, as the Demon Emperor and Demon Sovereign of the Demon Race, had long held high positions of authority. The supreme divine might they naturally exuded was far beyond what an ordinary Golden Immortal could withstand.
Normally, Di Jun wouldn't have suspected Qin Feng. His mind was still immersed in various matters from the Chat Group.
But Qin Feng's calmness in facing both of them at once was just a little too excessive.
"Ah, seeing you two with such imposing bearing and kingly divine majesty, could you be Quasi-Saint powerhouses?" Qin Feng forced calmness and feigned surprise.
"Hm? You're from the Human Race?" Di Jun asked suspiciously.
The Human Race had no great powerhouses to pass down teachings, so breaking through to the Golden Immortal realm should have been extremely difficult.
Why would they encounter one here out of nowhere?
Qin Feng smiled and cupped his hands: "To be honest, This Humble One was trapped in a secret realm for hundreds of thousands of years before barely breaking through and escaping."
He then shook his head repeatedly, sighing with emotion: "Who would've thought that the moment I emerged, I'd run into two seniors!"
Taiyi nodded lightly. This human was polite and well-mannered: "Enough. Since you've just come out of seclusion, we won't make things difficult for you. Leave on your own."
"Thank you both for your magnanimity." Qin Feng breathed a quiet sigh of relief and was about to turn and leave.
"Hold!" Di Jun barked sharply: "Stop! Confess honestly! Who are you! The Human Race has only been around for a little over a hundred thousand years—how could you have been in seclusion for hundreds of thousands?"
Qin Feng broke out in a cold sweat but replied steadily: "Strange to say, after I left, that secret realm collapsed in an instant, and it seemed the flow of time inside was a bit faster than the outside world."
Taiyi shook his head: "Di Jun, no need for suspicion. A mere Golden Immortal like him, facing us with such calm—there's no way it's fake."
"Besides, my Divine Sense has been monitoring him constantly. There's no other disturbance in his heart."
Di Jun nodded. Actually, he hadn't really suspected Qin Feng of anything, but suddenly, the aura that his spiritual treasure should have sensed had vanished completely.
And running into Qin Feng just then made it all seem odd.
"Then let me ask you—have you seen any other powerhouses nearby?" Di Jun asked casually.
Qin Feng's eyes darted: "I did run into two slovenly Daoists. Just as I was about to break out of the secret realm, I heard a voice say, 'This treasure is fated for me!'"
"Oh?" A sharp glint flashed in Di Jun's eyes.
"Then before I could even check, my vision blurred, and I was teleported straight to this area."
"About a dozen breaths later, those two Daoists headed west."
"And then I saw you two seniors!"
Taiyi looked thoughtful: "Could it be the Western...?"
"Fine, I understand. Take this pill!" Di Jun casually tossed out a pill. "Leave quickly!"
Qin Feng pretended to fumble as he collected it, then swiftly departed.
He flew for tens of thousands of miles before gradually picking up speed, then zigzagged for millions more in one breath before finally feeling a bit at ease.
Not long after Qin Feng left, Di Jun spoke coldly: "Taiyi, it must be those two shameless Daoists from the West!"
Taiyi mused: "Indeed. This bizarre quiz group is full of cunning at every turn, with tricks that catch you off guard. Looking across the Primordial World, only those two Western Daoists would stoop to such despicable acts."
"Right. This place is close to the West, right in their territory. Besides, Zhunti has been joking around in the group, while Jieyin hasn't shown up at all—that makes it even clearer!" Di Jun slowly laid out his speculation.
"So what do we do next?" Taiyi asked.
Di Jun snorted coldly: "If we go straight to Spirit Mountain to confront them, we'll inevitably be at a disadvantage. Better to leak the information to the many Dao friends in the group first, so they can be on guard."
"If everyone is outraged, we can take the chance to ally with them and directly attack Spirit Mountain!"
"Good idea. Let's test the waters in the group first!"
Afterward, Di Jun and Taiyi silently returned to the Heavenly Court, anxiously waiting for the quiz group to open again.
On the other side, Qin Feng flew out tens of millions of miles in one go.
Looking into the distance, all he saw were endless deep mountains.
Not only did he find no trace of Human Race tribes, but even tribes of the Wu and Demon Races were rare.
He sighed inwardly—the Primordial World at this time was truly vast.
Still, this place was suitable enough. He could find a random cave, give it a quick clean, and use it as a dwelling.
"System?"
"What does 'shielding for three years' mean?"
[Based on the power from the host's sacrificed lifespan, the system can keep the host from being detected by others.]
"Not even the Heavenly Dao or saints?"
[No one can detect you!]
Qin Feng counted on his fingers. Three years?
That was way too short!
"Is there a way to increase the time?"
[Offer an Innate Spiritual Treasure to add ten years!]
Dark!
Dark, dark, dark!
This system was damn dark!
An Innate Spiritual Treasure just to buy ten years of concealment time?
Even if Qin Feng was a total rookie in the Primordial World, he knew how precious Innate Spiritual Treasures were by now.
Di Jun was pretty impressive, right?
As the mighty Demon Emperor of the Demon Race, the best he'd tossed out to deal with Qin Feng was just some trash pill.
Having consumed an Innate Spiritual Root and an Epoch Pill, Qin Feng looked down on such ordinary goods.
Besides, he wouldn't dare eat something of unknown origin!
Just as he was thinking, the system chimed.
[Unmuted!]
At the same time, the ten great beings who had been waiting for a while all spoke up.
East Prince Gong: "Fellow Daoist Hong Yun, are you still at Fire Cloud Palace?"
Hong Yun: "Thanks for your concern, fellow Daoist. If you're thinking of visiting, it might be bad timing—I'll head to Five Village Temple another day."
Haotian: "In seclusion, everyone chat first."
Kunpeng: "It seems all you fellow Daoists are hypocrites, saying you don't want it while eagerly waiting."
Tongtian: "Hmph, you're no different!"
Qin Feng: "Greetings, fellow Daoists!"
Taiyi: "Quiet, I think I've found this group's secret!"
Everyone: "???"
Nuwa: "Spit it out!"
Di Jun: "Earlier, weren't we stripped of four spiritual treasures by the group leader? Then we suddenly sensed them being activated. Taiyi and I tracked them down—guess who we ran into?"
Sss!
Qin Feng grew anxious. Could it be that Di Jun had suddenly wised up and was about to expose his identity publicly?
Houtu: "Hurry up, stop beating around the bush and wasting everyone's appetite!"
Di Jun: "We ran into a human, and a Golden Immortal Great Perfection human at that!"
Nuwa: "Impossible. As the Human Race's Holy Mother, if any human broke through to Golden Immortal, I'd sense it instantly."
Houtu sneered too: "Di Jun, you're spouting nonsense again. The Human Race has no one to pass down teachings—reaching True Immortal is already impressive!"
Zhunti: "Everyone, pay attention. Di Jun and Taiyi are probably scheming again!"
Taiyi: "Well, well, Zhunti, you've finally slipped up and shown your true colors!"
Zhunti: "??? Taiyi, are you crazy?"
Di Jun replied coldly: "Listen up, everyone. This group is a secret plot by Zhunti and Jieyin!"
Those words stirred up a storm in the group!
Many great beings were shaken!
Nuwa was calmer: "First, tell us about this human Golden Immortal you encountered. Right and wrong, we'll judge for ourselves!"
Di Jun: "Fine, then fellow Daoists, listen as I explain in detail!"
Qin Feng: "??? There's always some traitor trying to harm Imperial We!"
"Di Jun, be careful—words can bring disaster!"
Taiyi immediately grew displeased: "Group leader, compared to that human Golden Immortal, you're worlds apart!"
Qin Feng was stunned. Was that an insult or a compliment?
He replied with sudden interest: "Oh? Then please, Di Jun and Taiyi, tell us in detail what happened back then!"
