The system gave me immortality, and I survived everyone

Chapter 2132 Mo Bai's Two Paths, the Rules of the Dan Era!

Upon hearing Xiong Da's reply, Mo Bai frowned and said, "Senior, I don't quite understand what you're saying."

"You don't understand because you don't know the rules of the Dan Era."

"In this place, you can choose to engage in a battle of wits or a battle of wits."

“A literary contest is very simple; it involves setting a certain method for both sides to compete.”

"At the same time, because alchemy is prevalent here, cultivators usually use alchemy competitions to determine the winner."

"But I don't know how to make pills."

Mo Bai voiced his doubts, and Xiong Da said, "So, there's still martial arts in the Pill Era!"

"The meaning of combat is very simple: it means that the two sides fight, the winner gets everything, and the loser loses everything."

"But there are usually rules for fighting, which means that it can only be carried out in designated places and on designated occasions."

"When I arrived in the Dan Era, no one invited me to a duel."

"Martial arts are aimed at aristocratic families and geniuses like you, and usually do not include cultivators below you."

"What wrong did the younger generation do?"

"Those cultivators attacked me first, and I retaliated to protect myself. What's wrong with that?"

Seeing Mo Bai's puzzled look, Xiong Da said, "It's fine for you to fight back, but you shouldn't have vandalized their territory."

"As far as I know, you and that Shadow Fiend destroyed several of the Li and Zheng families' strongholds."

"This behavior not only slapped the faces of the Li and Zheng families, but also the entire Dan Era aristocratic families and clans."

"It would be a miracle if they let you go."

Upon receiving this answer, Mo Bai's lips twitched, and he said, "The rules of the Pill Era are truly perplexing."

"In this situation, I won't fight back. I can't just surrender without a fight."

"You really can just surrender!"

Xiong Da took a bite of the delicious honey and said, "You are the son of the Qilin, the winner of the first trial, and now you even represent the Longevity Era to some extent."

"Even if you surrender, the powerful families and clans of the Dan Era won't do anything to you."

"However, if they don't resist at all, they probably won't escape being placed under house arrest."

"I don't really recommend that you do that either."

"To sum it up, the two of you went too far and left yourselves no room for maneuver whatsoever."

After listening to Xiong Da's words, Mo Bai thought for a moment and said, "May I ask, senior, do I still have a way to break this deadlock?"

"no!"

"You now only have two paths in front of you."

"First, hand over all the rewards you have, then publicly admit defeat and go back to the Era of Immortality."

"Second, we must withstand the onslaught from powerful clans and families until they shut up."

"Will defeating those prodigies shut up the powerful clans?"

"will not!"

Xiong Da shook his head and said, "The talent pool in the Dan Era is enormous, and the relationships between aristocratic families and clans are even more intricate."

"For example, the Cui family is currently the largest of the five surnames."

"On the surface, you only need to defeat one of the Cui family's prodigies to shut the Cui family up."

"But in fact, there are many talented members of the Cui family that you need to defeat."

"Because the Cui family is divided into the Boling Cui family and the Qinghe Cui family, if you defeat the Boling Cui family, the Qinghe Cui family will not stand idly by."

"In the words of the aristocratic families, it means that you can't write two 'Cui' characters in one stroke."

"In addition, the power distribution within the aristocratic families is also very complex. On the surface, the patriarch is in charge of everything, but in fact, the heads of each branch of the family have a lot of say."

“In addition, aristocratic families also have ancestral tombs.”

"Although ancestral tombs have to some extent dominated everything in aristocratic families, in recent years there seems to be a lot of conflict between ancestral tombs and aristocratic families."

"Based on this calculation, if you want to defeat a powerful family, you will most likely face geniuses nurtured by the ancestral tomb, geniuses nurtured by the family, and geniuses nurtured by the more powerful branch of that family."

Upon receiving this answer, Mo Bai's lips twitched, and he said, "If I defeat all these people, will I be able to shut up a powerful family?"

"Still not!"

"Once you defeat all the carefully nurtured prodigies of a prestigious family, they will target you even more fiercely."

"The four sects, the Pill Domain, and even other aristocratic families all have connections with the Cui family."

"If you defeat the main body of the Cui family, these forces will also start targeting you."

“People with the surname Cui will beat you, people without the surname Cui will beat you, and even people who have no relation to the Cui family will beat you.”

"Why is this again?"

Faced with the intricate relationships within the Dan Era, Mo Bai was somewhat dumbfounded.

"It's easy for people with the surname Cui to beat you up, because their surname is Cui."

"If someone who doesn't have the surname Cui hits you, it's most likely because they have a marriage alliance with the Cui family."

"People who have no connection with the Cui family hit you because they want to form a marriage alliance with the Cui family."

"You suffered this fate for messing with the Cui family, and you'll suffer the same fate if you mess with any other powerful family."

Mo Bai: "..."

After listening to Xiong Da's words, Mo Bai remained silent for a long time.

"Senior, from what you're saying, aren't the aristocratic families the masters of this Pill Era?"

"That's right, the powerful clans are the masters of the Dan Era."

"Without the approval of powerful clans and families, any outside forces entering the Dan Era will find it extremely difficult to make any progress."

"Does the Tiger Warriors also need the approval of powerful clans?"

Looking directly into Xiong Da's eyes, Mo Bai asked a question, unwilling to give up.

Seeing this, Xiong Da laughed and said, "Of course, the Tiger Warriors don't need the approval of aristocratic families, but that doesn't mean they don't need the endorsement of aristocratic families."

"The current commander of the Tiger Guard is Cui Tianrui, and the deputy commander is Cui Haoyu."

"Both of these Cuis are from the Cui family."

"Furthermore, the current leader of the Tiger Guard is the Immortal Emperor, and the previous leader was Mr. [name omitted]."

"You should know who the Immortal Emperor is, and I need to explain your identity even less."

"If you were a master or an immortal emperor, you naturally wouldn't need to care too much about the influence of powerful families and clans."

"But the problem is, you are not them."

Xiong Da's words left Mo Bai speechless for a moment.

Seeing Mo Bai's expression, Xiong Da took out a jade slip and handed it over, saying, "This is a map of the Dan Era, which shows the distribution of various forces."

"Judging from your disheveled appearance, you definitely don't have a map of the Dan Era."

"Considering that you brought good fortune to these bear cubs, this is my reward to you."

"You need to leave the King Kong Bear clan's territory within the next five days."

Looking at the jade slip in his hand, Mo Bai raised his head and said, "Senior, please speak frankly."

"Wouldn't my staying here bring disaster to the King Kong Bear clan?"

"It won't be a disaster; it's just that the King Kong Bear clan doesn't want to get involved with your troubles."

“The powerful clans have been looking for you. Whoever takes you in will become an enemy of the powerful clans.”

"Although the Golden Bear clan has some resources, they are not yet qualified to participate in the competition for such a great opportunity."
