Even though neither of them were ordinary people, the concept of becoming a King still felt somewhat distant and unfamiliar to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, it wasn't just them; for anyone in this Great Xia, becoming a King was perhaps something that would make them feel as if they were looking up at a towering mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the founding of Great Xia, the number of powerful individuals who have achieved the rank of King in history can be counted on one's fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nowadays, the only King-rank powerhouse visible on the surface is likely that rarely seen Dean of the Saint Profound Star Academy...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, although Li Luo and Jiang Qing did not know how many obstacles lay on the path to becoming a King, they could imagine how attractive the secret of becoming a King, held by Li Taixuan and Tantai Lan, must be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps that is why the mysterious black hand has set its sights on them and the Luo Lan Mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is getting interesting. Not only did Father and Mother come from outside Great Xia, but they also possessed such a rare treasure; their origins do not seem simple at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo felt that there were likely many secrets hidden within his parents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uncle Biao chose this moment to tell us these secrets—is there some special reason for it?\" Jiang Qing asked calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qing'er is as sharp and intelligent as ever.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Niu Biaobiao smiled, but his smile was a bit heavy. He said slowly, \"The protective miraculous array of the Luo Lan Mansion has likely had its secrets uncovered by that mysterious black hand over these years. Because the situation at the Luo Lan Mansion has been unstable these past few years, I estimate that in half a year, the miraculous array will enter its weakest phase.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That mysterious black hand will likely not let this opportunity slip... At that time, they might mobilize their entire force, break directly into the Luo Lan Mansion headquarters, find the location of the underground palace, extinguish the life-bound flames of Li Taixuan and Tantai Lan, and seize the 'Divine Essence Substance'.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To be honest, once the situation reaches that point, I am afraid I will not be able to stop them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo and Jiang Qing’s expressions changed instantly. In half a year, the protective miraculous array will enter a period of weakness? If that is truly the case, wouldn't the Luo Lan Mansion become extremely dangerous at that time?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, in these six months, I hope you can stabilize or strengthen the Luo Lan Mansion as much as possible. If so, we will be able to handle things more calmly when the time comes,\" Niu Biaobiao said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo and Jiang Qing looked at each other, both seeing the heaviness in the other's eyes. They had originally thought they still had time, but looking at it now, this time was truly too tight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half a year...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It really makes one feel breathless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, no matter how tight it is, this matter must be done. After all, if other Marquis-rank powerhouses were to break into the underground palace, extinguish the life-bound flames, and snatch away the \"Divine Essence Substance,\" that would be a consequence they could not accept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uncle Biao, you don't need to worry too much. Although the origins of that mysterious black hand are unknown, they have only been watching from the shadows all these years, which shows that they also have many fears and constraints. Once they take major action, they will inevitably expose themselves. At that time, I believe the top forces of Great Xia, such as the Saint Profound Star Academy, the Golden Dragon Bank, and the Royal Court, will also take notice...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although I don't know if these top forces are aware of the existence of the 'Divine Essence Substance,' if the situation becomes more chaotic because of this, it may not necessarily be a bad thing for us,\" Jiang Qing said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Niu Biaobiao nodded. Jiang Qing’s words made some sense. That mysterious black hand force is powerful and must contain more than one Marquis-rank powerhouse. The fact that they have never launched an all-out offensive against the Luo Lan Mansion these past few years might be because they wanted to keep the secret of the Luo Lan Mansion hidden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, regardless, we cannot pin our hopes on the outside. Strengthening the Luo Lan Mansion is our top priority,\" Jiang Qing added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo and Niu Biaobiao both agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After telling Li Luo and Jiang Qing these secrets, Niu Biaobiao was clearly much more relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Li Luo smiled and said, \"Uncle Biao, you should have told me this sooner.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Niu Biaobiao chuckled, \"What would have been the point if the Young Mansion Master had known earlier?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo’s smile froze, his eyes filled with resentment. Wasn't this just saying he was too weak before and completely useless?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Niu Biaobiao’s gaze suddenly rested on Li Luo, looking him up and down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo felt uncomfortable being watched by him and said, \"Uncle Biao, what are you looking at?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Niu Biaobiao glanced at him and said slowly, \"Although the affairs of the Luo Lan Mansion are urgent, Young Mansion Master, you also need to pay attention to your own lifespan issue.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo looked at Niu Biaobiao in shock. He actually knew about his lifespan issue?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had had a slight suspicion when Niu Biaobiao vaguely said he was weak before, but he hadn't dared to be sure. But now, Niu Biaobiao had clearly laid it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What lifespan issue?!\" Beside him, Jiang Qing was stunned. Her beautiful face showed some confusion, and then her suspicious gaze rested on Li Luo’s face, her expression gradually turning extremely cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is wrong with Li Luo’s lifespan?!\" Her eyes were filled with sharpness and scrutiny, and her voice sounded calm, yet it contained waves of shock and anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don't know? He didn't tell you?\" Niu Biaobiao rubbed his smooth head and then gave Li Luo a simple, apologetic smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did I let something slip...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo gave him a smile that was uglier than crying: \"Uncle Biao, please, just stop talking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He strongly suspected that the other party had done it on purpose!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Li Luo, explain this to me clearly!\" Jiang Qing said angrily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo whispered, \"Actually, it’s nothing... I paid a small price to solve the problem of the empty resonance before, which is that I only have... five years of life left.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Astonishing light resonance power erupted from Jiang Qing’s body at this moment, and the brilliant resonance power swirled around her delicate body like flames of light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the result of emotional fluctuations being too great, causing the resonance power to go out of control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Qing bit her silver teeth, her golden eyes looking at Li Luo with extreme shock and anger. She simply could not believe what she had heard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five years of life?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo only has five years of life left?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her so distraught, Li Luo quickly said, \"Don't be anxious, it's only temporary. As long as I can step into the Marquis realm within five years, the lost lifespan can be filled back in!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These words had some effect; the light resonance power on Jiang Qing’s body gradually subsided, but her beautiful face remained ice-cold: \"Marquis in five years?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In five years, Li Luo will be twenty-three. It seems unheard of in Great Xia to reach the Marquis realm at this age; after all, even Li Taixuan and Tantai Lan did not achieve this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Qing herself might have a chance to break this record, but she, after all, possesses a ninth-grade light resonance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Li Luo possesses dual resonances, whether he can achieve this feat is truly unknown...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo nodded quickly and said, \"Don't worry, I will definitely be able to do it in five years! And there was no other way; to resolve the empty resonance, I had to pay this price.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Qing was silent for a moment, then finally took a deep breath. The deed was done and could not be changed, so she had to accept it. However, she still turned her head away with a cold face, not wanting to pay any more attention to Li Luo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was clearly angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason she was angry was that Li Luo had kept such an important matter from her all this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Li Luo could only offer an awkward, apologetic smile, and then cast a resentful look at Niu Biaobiao. Uncle Biao, we have no grudges, why are you doing this to me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Li Luo’s gaze, Niu Biaobiao chuckled twice and then turned and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo and Jiang Qing followed him, and eventually, they exited the underground palace. However, when they came out, they were not in the kitchen, but in a secluded corridor somewhere in the Luo Lan Mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Keep the secrets of today to yourselves; do not let anyone else know. As for how to stabilize and strengthen the Luo Lan Mansion, that is for you to worry about.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good luck.\" Niu Biaobiao waved his hand and then left, shaking his smooth head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching his departing figure, Li Luo glanced at Jiang Qing, who had been silent beside him, and said cautiously, \"Sister Qing'er, are you still angry?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Qing turned and walked forward, her calm voice coming back: \"Come with me to the training room.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo’s body trembled, his heels felt weak, but in the end, he followed with the expression of someone going to their death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Training room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo put on his protective gear and held a wooden sword, looking forward with a sorrowful expression. He saw that Jiang Qing was also wearing protective gear, her slender, graceful body extending in perfect curves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that her expression was a bit too cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed she really intended to beat him up to vent her anger... However, Li Luo also understood that Jiang Qing was in a state of extreme shock and anger at this moment. If just getting a beating could make Jiang Qing feel better, he felt it was quite worth it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once ready, Jiang Qing’s slender figure shot out directly. The wooden sword in her hand pierced the air, and before Li Luo could even blink, he saw her figure appear before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wooden sword slashed down!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The speed was too fast; there was no way to block it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo simply couldn't be bothered to make any futile efforts; he closed his eyes and waited to be beaten, like a salted fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few seconds later, a gust of wind arrived. However, just as Li Luo gritted his teeth to endure it, he discovered that the wind suddenly weakened and finally landed gently on his shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened his eyes in confusion and saw Jiang Qing standing in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was holding the wooden sword, which was resting on Li Luo’s shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At such a close distance, Li Luo could feel that Jiang Qing’s body seemed to be trembling slightly, and her usually calm and composed golden eyes were rippling with fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was somewhat heartbreaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo sighed inwardly and said, \"Sister Qing'er, I’ve made you worry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Qing leaned in, her smooth forehead gently touching Li Luo’s. Their eyes seemed to be pressed together, reflecting each other’s faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She slowly closed her golden eyes and said softly, \"Li Luo, promise me, you must do it. Otherwise, I will be very disappointed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo understood what she meant; she wanted him to be sure to reach the Marquis realm in five years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, a soft smile appeared on his face, and he nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry, I will do it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is my promise to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1984,"2026-06-20T03:27:18.369Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","1d88a34f8a4ea514c75c6edb149c4426380d775fee285bc23ca7006833d4bc91","king-of-all-manifestations-chapter-193","king-of-all-manifestations-chapter-191",999,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fking-of-all-manifestations-cover.jpg"]
