“Uncle Cao Ya, the ‘Jiangdong Alliance’ was proposed by the Sage of Benevolence and the Sage of Numbers, and it is a manifestation of practicing the way of benevolence and righteousness. ‘The stronger the strength, the heavier the responsibility, and the more self-discipline is needed,’” Meng Qi explained.

With Meng Qi's introduction, Cao Ya finally gained a clear understanding of the "Jiangdong-ASEAN Treaty".

It's not appropriate to directly mention sages like Benevolence and Sagehood, or Sages of Numbers, otherwise it might be seen as self-promotion and could easily provoke resentment.

However, it was only because Meng Qi approved of this alliance that he didn't sign it, and he certainly wouldn't have explained it to his senior uncle Xuan Jie.

It should be known that in the [Peerless One] universe, martial artists become very destructive after reaching the Outer Realm, possessing the power to move mountains and fill seas. If they reach the Dharma Body Realm, even if they are human immortals, they have the ability to destroy a country if no one stops them!

As for celestial beings, there's no need to say more. Even if they can't destroy the real world, a prolonged and continuous attack could still cause a catastrophe that wipes out most living beings. Only some special places can be preserved.

Possessing the power to pluck stars from the sky and seize the moon, their unintentional clashes, whether with malice or not, can leave a devastating aftershock that can easily claim thousands of lives.

Such examples are countless throughout history.

Therefore, Ren Sheng believes that experts should be self-aware and, before engaging in battle, either fight in the outer realms, like Cao Ya and Ba Wang just now, or use spatial treasures such as the two-world separation talisman to divide the void and make the battlefield independent of heaven and earth, so as not to affect the surrounding creatures and damage the real world.

Through Ren Sheng's tireless efforts, he gained the support of all the saints. In the end, Ren Sheng joined forces with several saints to issue a proclamation, calling on all heroes to gather in Guangling and sign the "Jiangdong Alliance Agreement." They agreed to reduce their involvement in combat and, if they encountered enemies, to take care to avoid harming innocent civilians in the surrounding area.

This is the Jiangdong ASEAN Treaty!

A regulation specifically designed to restrain masters above the Dharma Body level!

Of course, if there is simply not enough time, and the enemy is imminent and launches a powerful attack, there is no way to force the high-ranking Dharma Master to comply with the restrictions stipulated in the covenant.

Otherwise, apart from a very few Dharma bodies like the Holy One, no one else would sign the "Jiangdong Alliance Agreement".

Unless Ren Sheng has the ability to suppress the entire martial arts world of the real world all by himself!

But clearly, Ren Sheng did not.

Even the most powerful overlord cannot single-handedly dominate the martial world.

He also did not sign the "Jiangdong-ASEAN Treaty".

However, unlike the arrogant overlord, Cao Ya was more in agreement with the alliance.

In the end, he signed the alliance and became the number one master of the righteous path!

The fact that Cao Ya fought to a draw with the Overlord was enough to make his name known throughout the Middle Ages and even influence future generations for tens of thousands of years.

Cao Ya gradually began to feel the illusory and ethereal nature of the river of time, the ruthlessness of time, and the vicissitudes of life.

But now is not the time to appreciate the passage of time.

The saints were delighted to have signed the covenant with Cao Ya, and were pleased that the righteous path had gained an even stronger force.

After a brief conversation with Cao Ya, they left one by one and returned to the real world.

Cao Ya, Meng Qi, He Qi, and Ren Qiushui landed in Luo City.

Ren Qiushui was curious about Cao Ya's swordsmanship and was somewhat tempted to exchange the "Immortal Sword Manual" passed down in her sect with Cao Ya.

However, this matter was of great importance, and even Ren Qiushui, the "Azure Moon Sword Immortal" whose fame would last for tens of thousands of years, could not make the decision on his own. He had to return to his sect and consult his elders.

The lineage she comes from is the legacy of Duobao Tianzun.

Finally, Ren Qiushui sighed regretfully.

Cao Ya glanced at Ren Qiushui and roughly understood what she was thinking.

To be honest, if Ren Qiushui were willing to exchange the "Immortal Sword Scripture" for the "Grass Character Sword Technique," Cao Ya would definitely not refuse.

The "Sword Scripture of Immortal Extinction" is one of the four great sword scriptures passed down by the Heavenly Venerable Lingbao, pointing directly to the other shore!

Cao Ya had considered proposing the deal himself, but after some consideration, he decided against it.

After all, Ren Qiushui has the lineage of Duobao Tianzun behind him. If he is misunderstood, who can he reason with?

【The Supreme Being】In the Taoist sect of the universe, there is a saying that there are nine Heavenly Venerables, who are almost the nine strongest people in the Taoist sect. As one of them, the Heavenly Venerable Duobao has great supernatural powers.

Among the nine deities of Taoism, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, the Moral Heavenly Venerable, and the Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Venerable are known as the first three, all of whom are from the other shore.

The latter six are not as powerful as the first three, but they are still great supernatural beings in the Creation Realm, especially the three: Duobao Tianzun, Zhenwu Dangmo Tianzun, and Taiyi Tianzun.

Among them, Zhenwu Tianzun is the Taoist incarnation of the Black Emperor, while Taiyi Tianzun is the Taoist incarnation of the Green Emperor.

Both of them were the Five Emperors of the ancient Heavenly Court, and were top-level supernatural beings who had achieved the perfection of creation!

Duobao Tianzun stood alongside them, slightly superior to the remaining three Tianzun.

Simply put, below the other shore, the Heavenly Venerable Duobao, the Heavenly Venerable Zhenwu, and the Heavenly Venerable Taiyi are the strongest!

Guangcheng Tianzun, Nanhua Tianzun, and Guangfa Tianzun are the last three of the nine deities of Taoism.

As Lingbao Tianzun's chief disciple, it is perfectly normal for Duobao Tianzun to know the "Sword Scripture of Immortal Extinction".

For this reason, Cao Ya had many concerns and dared not speak rashly about making a deal with Ren Qiushui.

Duobao Tianzun, one of the three central deities among the nine deities of Taoism, is definitely not dead; it is unknown where he is sleeping.

The Middle Ages were different from later times. Although the world had changed, it had not yet reached the point where the Dharma body was difficult to manifest. At least there were many celestial beings in this world.

The medieval period prohibited the appearance of legendary figures.

Therefore, if he attracts the attention of the Celestial Venerable Duobao and incurs his displeasure, he will strike down with his sword from afar. No matter how strong Cao Ya is, no matter how high his level of Celestial Immortal is, he will not escape the Celestial Venerable Duobao's sword and will surely die.

Ordinary fortunes cannot compare to those of the Celestial Venerable Duobao, let alone those of celestial beings.

Therefore, only Ren Qiushui could take the initiative to speak on this matter.

Furthermore, Cao Ya already possesses parts of the "Buddha's Palm," "Seven Swords of Heaven-Slaying," and "Nine Seals of Primordial Beginning," so his desire for the Lingbao Heavenly Venerable Sword Technique is no longer so strong.

Not long after, with Cao Ya's regret, Ren Qiushui left, leaving only the three people from the future in the private room of the restaurant.

He used his magic to isolate himself from the outside world, and Meng Qi used the rudimentary form of "cause of all effects" to prevent others from spying on him or discovering the content of their conversation by following the cause and effect.

Meng Qi and He Qi first recounted their experience of attending a banquet on Jin'ao Island, a world that resembled the primordial wilderness, a fragment of that primordial wilderness.

The island master of Jin'ao Island is Su Daji, behind whom stands a powerful being of great creative power—the Great Sage of Meishan, Yuan Hong. They have ruthless plans to control powerful beings from various worlds and then plot their grand scheme.

However, the appearance of a mysterious figure spurred Yuan Hong to awaken. Holding the core fragment of the Eastern Emperor Bell, he fought a great battle with it. In the end, in the aftermath of their battle, many Dharma Bodies from various realms either died tragically or were lucky enough to travel back to the Middle Ages.

Meng Qi and He Qi were staying in Luocheng, so they met up first.

However, they did not know where in the medieval real world Mr. Lu, Su Wuming, Daoist Chonghe, and others had ended up.

Finally, they asked Cao Ya how he had traveled back to the Middle Ages if he hadn't attended the banquet at Jin'ao Island.
