Chapter 2062 The Wisdom of Ancestor Bai Ze: The Strong Do Not Disregard Life

Facing Yin Jie's gaze, Meng De showed no fear, but rather a hint of madness.

“You are all geniuses, all strong individuals. You have come here only to prove yourselves.”

“But I’m different from you guys, I’m just a lucky little guy.”

"I came here only to live a good life and leave."

“I initially thought you were right, but after what has happened over this period of time, I realize how absurd you are.”

"Are we being ridiculous?"

Upon hearing this, Li Changsheng asked in confusion.

"For the sake of so-called empty fame, you're betting your lives on this gamble with no chance of survival. Isn't that absurd?"

"Which hero of the world didn't start from..."

"Let's not talk about the heroes of the world!"

Meng De interrupted Li Changsheng directly, saying contemptuously.

"The heroes in history books have indeed written many magnificent hymns."

"We look at the past from the perspective of the future, so we naturally believe that only by being fearless in the face of death can we achieve success."

"But have you ever considered that if they weren't forced by circumstances, would those heroes really want to risk their lives to accomplish something?"

"The strong never take their lives lightly, because such a person can never become strong."

Seeing that Mengde was getting more and more excited, Jianlai immediately spoke up.

"Bullshit, have you ever seen a strong person who is afraid of death? If you are afraid of death, you will never become a strong person."

"The strong are not afraid of death because they know they cannot die."

"Heroes are not afraid of death because there are things more important than their lives."

"If the world's strongest people are not afraid of death, then why are they unwilling to make a move easily?"

"If you don't understand, there are three powerful individuals here right now. You can ask them."

As he spoke, Mengde pointed to the three guardians present.

Facing Jian Lai's gaze, Ancestor Bai Ze pursed his lips and said, "He is right, high-level cultivators do not make a move easily."

"Firstly, because of concerns about my status, and secondly, because of fear of death."

"There are countless paths to enlightenment in the world, and no one dares to say that their own method is flawless."

"If others see through your true strength, you will easily become a target in the cultivation world."

"Furthermore, when fighting cultivators, the key is to kill with a single blow. The little phoenix that died in battle made this mistake, which is why it died."

"If she had used a deadly move against Ye Xuan the moment she made her move."

"Then Ye Xuan wouldn't have had a chance to kill her."

Upon hearing this, Jianlai was somewhat dumbfounded.

"Ancestor, why didn't anyone teach us these things?"

"I taught you this a long time ago, but you just didn't understand it."

“‘Even a lion needs to use its full strength to hunt a rabbit,’ and ‘To be merciful to the enemy is to be cruel to oneself’—you have all heard these principles before.”

“But none of you took it to heart and did it seriously.”

“In the past, reality would have made you understand the cruelty of the cultivation world.”

"But the times are different now. There are far fewer battles between cultivators, and the targeting of geniuses like you has disappeared."

"It is precisely this favorable environment that has led to your misunderstanding."

"This problem is not unique to you; all the powerful beings who have grown up over the past 100,000 years have had this problem."

“Fellow Daoist Yin is a typical example of this type.”

Faced with Bai Ze Patriarch's call to name, Yin Jie pondered for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "I am willing to listen to your guidance, senior!"

After glancing at Yin Jie, who was bowing and seeking guidance, and then at Meng De, whose eyes were slightly red, the Bai Ze Ancestor sighed softly and said:

"Actually, this isn't exactly a righteous way; it's just a little trick we old folks use to survive in chaotic times."

"Moreover, this kind of thing cannot be taught; you can only understand the principles when you truly think it through."

Upon hearing this, Jianlai said, "Ancestor, could you explain this more clearly?"

"I don't quite understand!"

Tilting his head to look at Jian Lai beside him, Ancestor Bai Ze clicked his tongue and said, "Alright, then I'll explain it more clearly."

"All of this boils down to one principle: a wise person does not stand under a dangerous wall."

"In our time, participating in a challenge of this level would be no different from courting death."

"Any genius with a sound mind would not choose to participate."

Sword comes: "......"

“Ancestor, your words are a bit too broad.”

Are we all fools?

"more or less!"

“Apart from Mo Bai, you little guys are no smarter than idiots.”

"Of course, we should also include our young friend Mengde as a smart person nowadays."

"why?"

"Because you're stupid, you rush forward recklessly when someone throws you even the smallest bit of benefit."

Bai Ze Patriarch glared at Jian Lai with disdain, then said, "It's fine for young people to want to climb the ranks, but you can't be brainless."

"The first hurdle is the cosmic black hole. Your respective strengths were already clearly demonstrated there."

"If you're already in such a sorry state after the first round, how do you think you'll survive the second?"

"If you can't even see your own strength, what are you if not stupid?"

Upon hearing this, Jianlai was so angry that he spun around on the spot.

"Ancestor, what you're saying is making me more and more confused."

"Before we came in, you told us to be fearless, but after we came in, you called us brainless."

"We can't advance, we can't retreat, what should we do?"

"To make you fearless is to prevent you from losing your reason because of cowardice."

"Although you have remembered this principle, you have not understood our second meaning."

"Everything should be done in moderation. If you go beyond this standard in your conduct and actions, then you become stubborn."

"You little rascals, always risking your lives, how many lives do you have to lose?"

Jian Lai was clearly somewhat unconvinced by his ancestor's reprimand.

Seeing this, Ancestor Bai Ze rolled his eyes and said, "You won't listen to reason, so let me give you a few examples."

"There was a guy named Feng Ran who came in with you."

"His protector is an unknown ninth-rank Immortal King."

"Actually, the moment I saw that guy, I knew he was a cultivator who had emerged from the flames of war."

"Because he possesses a calmness and ruthlessness that you lack."

"We've been in the second stage for a while now, and each team is facing different levels of danger."

"But have you noticed that Feng Ran is in danger?"

Upon hearing this, Jian Lai paused for a moment, then said, "It seems there really isn't."

"That guy not only didn't contact us, but he also didn't go live. It's like he's completely disappeared."
