If the matters of the All Beings Alliance are handled well, it will surely curb the casualties caused by the early stages of the Great Calamity to the greatest extent.

In this calamity, it occupies the upper hand.

But compared to the previous All Beings Alliance, which was merely established to curb military governors from wanton slaughter.

To play a role in the immeasurable Great Calamity, the All Beings Alliance can no longer be like a mere makeshift group, and it must have the Dao Alliance support it.

Otherwise, some Ancient Sect Nobility that haven't joined the All Beings Alliance will certainly not be restrained by it.

Primarily, it's that group still vying for the Imperial Throne!

...

"All Beings Alliance?"

In the Heavenly Mechanism Hall, Qinglian Sword Venerable, who was studying the Heavenly Dao List trying to find a method for overcoming calamities from it, slowly turned sideways.

A pair of eyes, starkly black-and-white, keenly majestic, slowly fell upon Dongfang Qing and Qi Xiu.

Feeling the gaze of this Dao Alliance leader, the world's first Sword Cultivator.

Qi Xiu instantly felt both shoulders sink, it was as if countless longsword tips were pressing against him, and at any moment, a single misstep would pierce him through instantly.

After gazing at Qi Xiu for two breaths, Qinglian Sword Venerable withdrew his gaze and continued to look at the Heavenly Dao List in front:

"If it truly can be so, it would also be a good thing for my Human Race.

This matter, I shall agree."

With that, Qinglian Sword Venerable casually waved, and a stream of light suddenly fell into Dongfang Qing's hand, transforming into a solid token engraved with a Qinglian.

"Hold my token, you can mobilize people from the Dao Alliance at will, Elder Sun is currently within the alliance, his Creation Medical Hall has no mountain gate, no need for any special arrangements.

Forming the All Beings Alliance, you may invite him for assistance.

He is of high seniority and well-liked, with his help, you can bypass many stages."

"Thank you, Sword Venerable."

Holding the Qinglian Token and leaving the Heavenly Mechanism Hall, only when standing outside the hall did Qi Xiu bewilderedly look at Dongfang Qing beside him.

"Is this... settled?"

He hardly expected this Dao Alliance leader to be so straightforward, the Sect Master merely explained the purpose of the All Beings Alliance, and this leader promptly dropped the token, permitting them to start forming.

Even assigned them a person to assist.

The smoothness of the entire process was almost bizarre.

Seeing Qi Xiu's face full of shock, Dongfang Qing shook the Qinglian Token in his hand with a smile:

"That's because you don't understand our leader.

He is from a Sword Cultivator background, his style has always been swift and decisive, never liking those convoluted matters.

And do you think having his token allows you to act freely?

Within and outside the Dao Alliance, there are countless eyes watching him.

Believe it or not, if we dare use this token for personal gain, within fifteen minutes, the details will be laid out before him completely.

By then, hoho... who can restrain the anger of the current world's first True Honor?"

Though he rarely visits the Dao Alliance, Dongfang Qing seems to understand Qinglian Sword Venerable well, his words all speak of the leader's strength and astuteness.

After gaining Qinglian Sword Venerable's consent, Dongfang Qing and Qi Xiu also found the old doctor of the Creation Medical Hall.

As one of the Twelve Members of the Dao Alliance, and the highest-ranked person in the entire Dao Alliance.

Though Sun Baicao's combat power is mediocre, he is indeed as Qinglian Sword Venerable said, very well-liked.

With his facilitation, the Primordial Spirit True Masters in the Dao Alliance all agreed to cooperate in forming the All Beings Alliance.

Of course, this also owed to the Qinglian Token.

Thus with the approval of these Primordial Spirit True Masters from various Ancient Sect Nobility, the vast momentum of forming the All Beings Alliance began to spread across the entire Central Earth.

With these Ancient Sect Nobility leading the way, those sect aristocracies already troubled by the constant growing strange events responded, joining the local All Beings Alliance.

The cultivation world's looseness has always been the norm.

The newly formed All Beings Alliance was evidently more rigorous in its various systems compared to the initial makeshift group, and under the Dao Alliance's scrutiny, some recently joining sect aristocracy even felt as if they were recruited.

An indescribable sense of restraint and lack of freedom began causing internal turmoil within the All Beings Alliance.

Yet as the All Beings Alliance started running smoothly.

The effect brought by the unified integration of the province's cultivation power evidently exceeded everyone's expectations.

Sects that were not adept at combat received protection and shelter from Fighting Sects, while those skilled in other areas like talismanic techniques, elixirs, magic artifacts and such, brought their skills forward, complementing the strong sects' weaknesses.

Complementing each other's strengths, relying on each other.

Each performing their duties, working with one heart.

Under the dispatch and coverage of the local All Beings Alliance, the power of the entire cultivation world faintly became unified, various sect worlds no longer only cared about themselves.

Fragmented pieces coexist reasonably.

Within the whole province, it was like a unified strength,

those constantly arising strange events were often just emerging, and were immediately discovered and reported by those responsible for inspection and patrol, soon specialized cultivators came to eradicate and suppress them.

Within a short time, the situation in various provinces continued to improve, the atmosphere of fear and anxiety after the opening of the Great Calamity gradually became more tranquil.

...

"The effect of the All Beings Alliance is even better than previously estimated, now each province reports back that compared to before the formation of the All Beings Alliance, the number of strange events occurring has increased, but the casualties have actually decreased.

All thanks to the All Beings Alliance.

Believe it or not, quite a few Primordial Spirit True Masters in the Dao Alliance have found me, hoping to express their gratitude to you."

In the Sect Master Hall of Shenxiao Sect, Dongfang Qing smiled and patted Qi Xiu's shoulder.

"Express gratitude to me, the formation of the All Beings Alliance was endorsed by Qinglian Sword Venerable, the specific matters were planned by you and Elder Sun, I merely initiated it."

Qi Xiu was also pleased that the All Beings Alliance could fulfill its purpose, he bore the Human Path Merit, this power has protected him since he was weak.

Hence having this opportunity, he naturally hoped to give back to the Human Dao.

Moreover, though his temperament was lazy and indolent, lacking any grand ideals of saving the world.

But facing the Great Calamity's turmoil, the cries and demise of countless human race, he still wanted to help if he could.

After all, they were of the same race.

"Initiating is the hardest part, without you starting it, the All Beings Alliance would have never existed.

Now the Ancient Sect Nobility managing the All Beings Alliance in each province have received abundant Human Path Merit rewards, this is all your achievement.

I've heard that group of old folks plan to collectively prepare a grand gift for you, to settle this cause and effect.

By then, don't forget your Sect Master."

Dongfang Qing joked with a smile, then collected his expression, solemnly saying:

"However, some may thank you, but some already hate you, you should not leave Shenxiao Sect recently, I fear someone will plot against you."

"Plot against me?" Qi Xiu's expression tightened.

"Yes, your All Beings Alliance is mighty, yet it's indeed some rejoice, some worry."

Dongfang Qing's words made Qi Xiu slightly frown, after pondering for a moment, he suddenly showed an enlightened look.

"Sect Master, are you referring to those... Military Governors?"

"Smart, the formation of All Beings Alliance melded the cultivation world in each province, once scattered like sand, into a unified strength, which is good for the Dao Alliance, also good for the common people.

But unfortunately, for those Military Governors, it's immensely bad.

Originally the sect aristocracy in each province guarded their own territory, detached from worldly matters, standing aloof.

The Military Governors could exert some deterrence over them.

But not anymore, with the All Beings Alliance formed, every move affects the whole body.

Even though Military Governors have armies, against the All Beings Alliance wielding the power of a province's cultivation, they are still disparate and weak.

Moreover, the key is.

Now each province is used to the model of the All Beings Alliance, it's almost equivalent to a relatively independent existence.

Reverting them to their original state would be difficult.

What are these Military Governors fighting over?

Isn't it just for the throne of Emperor?

But your maneuver almost cut off their hopes of becoming emperor.

Tell me, shouldn't they want to tear you apart to vent their anger?"
