The Pill Region lay within Danta's sphere of influence.
As the holy land of Alchemists in the Central Plains, Danta held an unrivaled place in every Alchemist's heart.
Its management might have been loose, but its immense influence was undeniable.
A thousand years ago, Danta had reached its greatest height!
Back then, Danta had produced a Peak Nine-Star Dou Saint who had propelled it to the summit of the continent in one stroke.
Though Danta had declined since then, it remained the strongest power in the Central Plains outside the Eight Great Emperor Clans!
Even the Soul Hall might not have been able to suppress Danta without the Hun Clan's help.
Danta's internal structure was also rather complicated.
Besides establishing branches in various places, it was divided into an inner and an outer tower.
The inner tower, also known as the Little Pill Tower, was the very heart of Danta!
It was precisely because of the Little Pill Tower that the Soul Hall did not dare act too brazenly toward Danta.
The outer tower was the Danta known to the public.
With Pill City at its center, it encompassed the entire Pill Region.
Even the Pill Region's five great families—the Bai, Qiu, Cao, Dan, and Ye families—were part of Danta's forces.
But this structure meant the outer Danta was more like a loose alliance of Alchemists.
In practice, Danta placed almost no restrictions on the Alchemists within the Pill Region.
They did not even need to report to Danta if they wanted to join another power.
Individual Alchemists commonly joined other powers, but it was nearly unheard of for an Alchemist family like one of the five great families to do so.
The five families had been established in the Pill Region for hundreds of years.
