The Western Teachings, within Spirit Mountain.
Jieyin sat cross-legged, facing Zhunti.
When the Chat Group had first appeared, Zhunti had volunteered to enter and inspect it, out of caution.
Later, when he learned that answering questions came with rewards, Jieyin had regretted missing out terribly.
But the two brothers were as close as flesh and blood. Once the Chat Group had opened, Zhunti had specifically called Jieyin over and told him everything about the members' conversations and actions, without missing a single detail.
The group was discussing Human Race Golden Immortals when Jieyin suddenly furrowed his brow.
He formed a hand seal, and in an instant, wisps of Pure and Turbid Qi began to swirl around his fingertips.
Vaguely, countless strange beings could be seen, along with wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, mountains, rivers, and seas.
"Stay!"
Countless densely packed threads surrounded them. Jieyin reached out and pinched one between his fingers.
Zhunti couldn't help praising him. "Senior Brother, your skills are impressive. Your cultivation has advanced considerably in such a short time."
"When fate is silent, only karma holds sway. The Karma Great Dao is the foundation upon which our Western Teachings were established! Unfortunately, I've only just touched its threshold."
After speaking, Jieyin replied with a strange expression, "Junior Brother, this Karma Thread only appeared recently. How curious."
"Have you discovered something, Senior Brother?"
Jieyin shook his head. "I'm not sure yet, but this thread of karma somehow feels ominous."
Zhunti was just about to answer when his expression changed. "All right, Senior Brother, we'll talk about it later. For now, let's see what Di Jun and Taiyi reveal!"
Jieyin snorted. "Junior Brother, I've got your back. Don't let our Western Teachings lose face in the group!"
Zhunti cackled. "Heh heh, don't worry, Senior Brother. When it comes to arguing, all ten people in the group couldn't beat me combined!"
In the group, Di Jun was silent for a while before replying, "When we met that Human Race Golden Immortal earlier, he addressed us as seniors at every turn. Before doing anything, he bowed and saluted. He was truly refined and exceptionally courteous."
Taiyi agreed. "If everyone in the Primordial World were like that, how could so many conflicts have broken out?"
Di Jun: "Exactly. When we parted, I even gave him an exceptionally precious treasure!"
Qin Feng was curious. "What treasure? Don't tell me it was an Innate Spiritual Treasure?"
Di Jun: "You really are a vulgar group leader. Innate Spiritual Treasures are precious, but what doesn't our Demon Race have? For a Human Race Golden Immortal, breaking through to the next realm is what matters most."
Taiyi: "Exactly. We gave him a Three-Rank Golden Elixir of Thirty-three Layers!"
Qin Feng: "Huh? Just a pill? I thought you'd given him some rare treasure!"
Taiyi: "Hmph, what do you know? If we'd given him a spiritual treasure, how could he keep it with his Golden Immortal cultivation? Someone would have stolen it from him sooner or later."
Di Jun: "Exactly. This pill is extraordinary. It can increase his cultivation by at least several hundred years!"
Kunpeng showered them with praise. "Demon Emperor, Demon Emperor, that's truly generous of you!"
Qin Feng curled his lip. "Maybe he didn't dare take your pill, or didn't want it, and just threw it away."
Taiyi: "Then he's blind to its value. He deserves to be stuck at the Golden Immortal realm!"
Nuwa: "Enough. How did we get onto this? Didn't you say this had something to do with the Western Teachings?"
Zhunti: "Hmph, you two great Demon Race figures gave him nothing but an ordinary pill? You're unworthy of being great powers of the Primordial World. Our Western Teachings may be impoverished, but we'd never be as stingy as the two of you."
Di Jun: "Has anyone noticed that Zhunti has been targeting me from the start? And the questions that followed were all related to the Demon Race. The final question was even answered by the one who asked it."
Taiyi: "Exactly. If Hong Yun hadn't seen through their scheme and answered first, who knows how long they would have kept us in the dark!"
Di Jun: "Zhunti, stop pretending! I've already seen through your scheme. Confess everything!"
Taiyi: "You shameless Taoist! Do you want the armies of the Demon Race to trample Spirit Mountain?"
Hiss!
The many great powers immediately felt the accusation made sense. There were still a few things they couldn't explain, but all the clues pointed to the two Western Taoists. They couldn't help but suspect them.
Di Jun: "Besides, we followed the tracks and sensed their auras all the way to the West. Then, strangely, every clue disappeared!"
Zhunti: "???"
Zhunti and Jieyin stared at each other. How had they suddenly been framed by the West?
Your things went missing in the West. What did that have to do with us?
Zhunti was completely bewildered.
Nuwa: "Then how do you explain the fact that someone could force down Heavenly Punishment, and even deduct Mana and merit?"
Tongtian: "Exactly. Even the three of us brothers couldn't do that!"
East Prince Gong: "Perhaps it was the Great Dao? I've heard that Jieyin and Zhunti are studying the Karma Great Dao. Maybe they've made some progress?"
Zhunti: "East Prince Gong, you've got some nerve! You're pinning every accusation on me!"
Houtu pondered. "It's possible. They say the Karma Great Dao is mysterious and unfathomable. It could explain these astonishing feats."
Zhunti was furious. "If you fellow Daoists keep slandering me, I'll start saying things that hurt!"
The great powers in the group argued back and forth, turning what had been a simple matter into an intricate mystery.
As a result, every great power became wary of the others, and no one trusted anyone anymore.
They were all suspicious and on guard.
Qin Feng secretly reveled in the chaos. The more disorder, the better!
Only in the chaos could a little Golden Immortal like him fish in troubled waters.
Only then might he have a chance to steal a chicken right under the noses of a group of Quasi-Saint great powers!
At the same time, Qin Feng hoped the system would hurry up and give them another question, so he could keep harvesting leeks.
No—keep learning historical facts about the Primordial World.
Before long, more than half a day had passed.
Finally, the second day arrived. The great powers were still chatting enthusiastically, but inside, they were all growing anxious. Why hadn't the group leader posted a question yet?
Still, no one felt comfortable speaking up first.
In the end, Zhunti, the least concerned about his dignity, spoke. "Mysterious and powerful group leader, are you there? Why have you remained silent?"
The great powers cursed Zhunti for his shamelessness. He was openly sucking up to the group leader!
Qin Feng was just as anxious. The system had long since taken control of everything. It held all the permissions now, and he was nothing but a puppet group leader.
But the great powers knew nothing about the system's existence. They still thought Qin Feng was the one setting the questions.
Di Jun: "You shameless old thief! We'll settle things with you later. For now, I want to see what tricks you're up to!"
Taiyi: "Exactly. I suggest no one answer first!"
Everyone: "Got it +8"
Taiyi was secretly pleased. Now that everyone had agreed not to answer, let's see how the group leader could continue!
[Quiz begins!]
[The rules remain unchanged. You must pay a price to qualify to answer. Those who answer incorrectly will have a random item deducted.]
[Correct answer reward: Great Dao Laws*6, Innate Spiritual Treasure*1, merit*1000000]
[Question 1: Who won the First War Between Witches and Demons?]
When the great powers saw the rewards, their hearts were already ablaze, and they were rubbing their hands together in anticipation.
The moment the question appeared, they didn't even bother to read it.
They immediately brought out the spiritual treasures, Innate Spiritual Roots, divine abilities, and cultivation techniques they'd prepared in advance, and scrambled to answer!
[Zhunti failed to answer!]
[Nuwa failed to answer!]
[Hong Yun failed to answer!]
[Taiyi failed to answer!]
Di Jun was in Heavenly Court, his face full of indignation as he ground his teeth. He felt like he had a whole string of curses he didn't know whether he should say!
Di Jun: "??? Didn't we agree not to answer? How did each of you answer even faster than the last?"
Houtu: "Hmph, you should keep an eye on Taiyi. Even he tried to answer!"
Taiyi awkwardly replied, "I hit it by accident, by accident!"
Qin Feng replied with a beaming smile. "Your mouths may be resistant, but your hearts are honest. Let's see which idiot—er, which adorable little cutie managed to answer first!"
