Inside Spirit Mountain, Western Teachings.

Jieyin was sitting cross-legged opposite Zhunti.

When the Chat Group first appeared, out of caution, Zhunti had volunteered to enter and investigate.

Later, upon learning that answering questions came with rewards, Jieyin regretted it immensely.

But the two fellow disciples were as close as brothers. After the Chat Group opened, Zhunti specifically called Jieyin over and informed him of everyone's chats and every move in the group, without missing a single detail.

The group was discussing matters concerning the Human Race's Golden Immortals when Jieyin suddenly frowned.

He formed a hand seal, and instantly, strands of Pure and Turbid Qi continuously flowed around his fingertips.

Faintly, one could see numerous strange myriad spirits, and even wind, rain, thunder, lightning, mountains, rivers, and seas.

"Still!"

Among the dense, countless threads surrounding them, Jieyin picked up one.

Zhunti couldn't help but praise, "Senior Brother has great skill. In such a short time, your cultivation has improved considerably."

"Destiny does not appear, only Karma is revered. The Karma Great Dao is the foundation of our Western Teachings! It's a pity that I have only just touched the threshold."

After speaking, Jieyin replied with a strange expression, "Junior Brother, this Karma Thread only appeared recently. How peculiar?"

"Could it be that Senior Brother has discovered something?"

Jieyin shook his head, "I don't know yet, but this Karma Thread feels inexplicably ominous."

Zhunti was about to reply when his expression shifted slightly. "Alright, Senior Brother, we'll talk about it later. For now, let's see what Di Jun and Taiyi will reveal!"

Jieyin snorted coldly, "Junior Brother, I have your back. Do not let our Western Teachings' prestige be diminished in the group!"

Zhunti chuckled sinisterly, "Heh heh, Senior Brother, rest assured. When it comes to arguing, ten people in the group combined can't beat me!"

In the group, Di Jun was silent for a moment before replying, "When we met that Human Race Golden Immortal earlier, he always called us 'senior' and bowed respectfully before acting. Truly refined and polite."

Taiyi agreed, "If everyone in the Primordial World were like that, why would so many conflicts and contradictions arise?"

Di Jun: "Indeed. When we parted, I even gifted him an incredibly precious treasure!"

Qin Feng asked curiously, "What treasure? It wasn't an Innate Spiritual Treasure, was it?"

Di Jun: "As expected of the group owner, you're so vulgar. Although Innate Spiritual Treasures are rare, what does our Demon Race not have? However, for a Human Race Golden Immortal, breaking through their realm is the most important thing."

Taiyi: "Precisely. We immediately gave him a Thirty-three Layered Nine-Rank Golden Elixir!"

Qin Feng: "Ah? Just one pill? I thought you gave him some rare treasure!"

Taiyi: "Hmph, what do you know? If we had given him a Spiritual Treasure, how could he, at the Golden Immortal realm, possess it? It would have been snatched away sooner or later."

Di Jun: "Indeed, this pill is extraordinary. It can at least increase his cultivation by several hundred years out of nowhere!"

Kunpeng repeatedly praised, "Demon Emperor, Demon Emperor, truly generous!"

Qin Feng pouted, "Perhaps he didn't dare to eat your pill, or disdained to, and simply threw it away!"

Taiyi: "Then he is blind to the jewel and deserves to be stuck at the Golden Immortal realm!"

Nuwa: "Hold on, why did this get sidetracked? Didn't you say it had something to do with the Western Teachings?"

Zhunti: "Hmph, two great Demon Race figures, only giving a common pill? Truly unworthy of being great powers of the Primordial World. Don't look at how barren our West is, we would never be as stingy as you two."

Di Jun: "Has anyone noticed that from the beginning, Zhunti has been targeting me at every turn? And the subsequent questions were all related to the Demon Race, even the last question was answered by himself."

Taiyi: "Exactly. If Hong Yun hadn't seen through their scheme and answered directly, who knows how long we would have been deceived by them!"

Di Jun: "Zhunti, stop pretending! I saw through your calculations long ago. Confess now!"

Taiyi: "Hmph! You Taoist priest, how despicable! Are you trying to provoke my Demon Race army to flatten Spirit Mountain?"

Hiss!

Many great powers suddenly felt that it made sense. Although there were still a few points of doubt, all the current clues pointed to the two Taoist priests from the West, leaving them no choice but to suspect.

Di Jun: "Moreover, we followed the traces and sensed their aura, pursuing them all the way to the West, only for all clues to mysteriously disappear!"

Zhunti: "???"

At this moment, Zhunti and Jieyin looked at each other, dumbfounded. Why were they being framed for no reason?

You lost something in the West, what does it have to do with us two?

Zhunti was utterly bewildered.

Nuwa: "And what about the ability to forcibly bring down heavenly punishment, and even deduct mana and merit?"

Tongtian: "Indeed, even my three fellow disciples couldn't do that!"

East Prince Gong: "Perhaps it's the Great Dao? Haven't we heard that Jieyin and Zhunti are comprehending the Karma Great Dao? Perhaps they have made some progress?"

Zhunti: "East Prince Gong, how dare you! You're trying to pin any blame on me!"

Houtu pondered, "It's possible. Legend has it that the Karma Great Dao is mysterious and unfathomable. It might be able to accomplish such incredible things!"

Zhunti said furiously, "If fellow Daoists continue to slander me, I will start speaking offensively!"

The great powers in the group, each speaking their mind, turned a simple matter into a confusing mess.

This way, the various mighty figures were all filled with unease, and not a shred of trust remained between them.

They were all wary and vigilant.

Qin Feng chuckled to himself on the side. Let it be chaotic, the more chaotic the better!

Only when things were in chaos could he, a mere Golden Immortal, fish in troubled waters.

Only then would he have a chance to snatch victory from the jaws of the Quasi-Saints and mighty figures!

At the same time, Qin Feng also looked forward to the System issuing prompts quickly so he could continue to harvest leeks.

Oh, no, he meant continue to learn about the historical knowledge points of the Primordial World.

Half a day had passed in the blink of an eye.

Finally, the next day arrived. Although the various mighty figures were still chatting animatedly, they were all secretly anxious, wondering why the group leader hadn't issued a prompt yet.

However, no one felt comfortable being the first to speak.

In the end, Zhunti, who had the thinnest skin, spoke: "Mysterious and powerful group leader, are you perhaps present? Why have you been silent all this time?"

The various mighty figures cursed Zhunti as shameless, openly flattering the group leader like that!

Qin Feng was equally anxious. He had long been sidelined by the System. Now, all permissions were controlled by the System, and he was just a puppet group leader.

But the mighty figures were unaware of the System's existence and had always assumed Qin Feng was the one issuing the prompts.

Di Jun: "Shameless old scoundrel! I'll settle the score with you later. I want to see what tricks you're playing!"

Taiyi: "Indeed. I suggest no one rush to answer!"

Everyone: "Received +8"

Taiyi secretly rejoiced. Now that everyone had agreed not to rush, how could the group leader continue to play his game!

[Answering session begins!]

[Rules remain unchanged. Paying a price grants the right to rush an answer. Those who answer incorrectly will have items randomly deducted.]

[Correct answer reward: Great Dao Laws * 6, Innate Spiritual Treasure * 1, Merit * 1,000,000]

[Question 1: In the First War Between Witches and Demons, which side won?]

When the mighty figures saw the rewards, their hearts were already burning with excitement, and they were itching to try.

The moment the question appeared, they didn't even look at it.

They immediately unleashed the Spiritual Treasures, Innate Spiritual Roots, and divine abilities/cultivation techniques they had prepared long ago, and rushed to answer!

[Zhunti's rush failed!]

[Nuwa's rush failed!]

[Hong Yun's rush failed!]

[Taiyi's rush failed!]

Di Jun, located in the Heavenly Court, had a look of rage on his face, even grinding his teeth. He felt like he had a thousand words he couldn't say!

Di Jun: "??? Didn't we agree that no one would rush? How is it that you're all faster than each other?"

Houtu: "Hmph, you should worry about Taiyi. Even he rushed!"

Taiyi replied awkwardly: "Accidental touch, accidental touch!"

Qin Feng replied with a smile: "Your mouths are very resistant, but your hearts are quite honest. Let me see, which silly... fool, oh no, which little cutie successfully rushed to answer!"
