Hadn't they been cultivating right on top of the Dark Cave all this time?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The role of the Resonance Power Tree is not just to provide you with cultivation.\" Instructor Xi Chan raised her face, her gaze fixed on the towering giant tree in the distance that blotted out the sky, her eyes filled with a hint of awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It also possesses the power to suppress the Dark Cave. If not for the existence of the Resonance Power Tree, the Dean alone might not have been able to suppress the depths of the Dark Cave for so long.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo swallowed a mouthful of saliva; so the Resonance Power Tree had such a function, it was truly breathtaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did that not mean that the greater reason for the Astral Sage College being founded here was the existence of the Dark Cave?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Li Luo thought of something, hesitated for a moment, and asked, \"Instructor, do other Sage Colleges... also suppress things similar to the Dark Cave?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Astral Sage College was founded because of this Dark Cave, then were other Sage Colleges founded for the same reason?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instructor Xi Chan glanced at Li Luo, smiled, and said, \"Your intuition is quite sharp. But you are right; it is not just the Astral Sage College that suppresses a Dark Cave. All Sage Colleges under the College Alliance are the same... this is considered one of the responsibilities of establishing a Sage College.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo sighed; the College Alliance acting in this way was indeed admirable. If these colleges did not suppress these spatial nodes connected to the Dark World, once these terrifying Otherkind escaped, it would inevitably cause great chaos and slaughter, which would undoubtedly be a catastrophe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While they were talking, the group gradually arrived at the location of the Resonance Power Tree. By this time, the spacious and massive plaza was already overcrowded, and the sound of noise was constant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dense crowd was clearly divided; Li Luo looked toward the right from afar, where the students of the Third and Fourth Star Halls were located.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the commotion and boiling atmosphere on the side of the First and Second Star Halls, that side appeared much quieter. Although many students had somewhat grave expressions, there was not much panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, they had already experienced many purification missions, so they were well-prepared for this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Li Luo suddenly heard some commotion coming from the Fourth Star Hall side. Looking over, he saw two figures arriving like stars surrounding the moon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were Gong Shenjun and the Princess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gong Shenjun was heroic and upright, with an extraordinary aura, attracting the gazes of many female students. After all, as the strongest of the Seven Star Pillars of the Astral Sage College, Gong Shenjun could be called perfect in terms of strength, status, and appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if Gong Shenjun was the male god in the hearts of many female students, then the noble and elegant Princess was the dream goddess in the hearts of many male students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for Jiang Qing'e's sudden rise in the college over the past two years, the Princess would likely have easily captured the hearts of all the male students in the Astral Sage College.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When the Dark Cave opens, the students of the Third and Fourth Star Halls will be the main force for purifying the inner layers, and whenever this time comes, even the Seven Star Pillars, who rarely show themselves, will come as much as possible,\" Instructor Xi Chan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Li Luo raised his eyebrows slightly. He was no longer a stranger to the title of Seven Star Pillar; it represented the highest achievement for a student of the Astral Sage College.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These seven students were also the seven strongest active students of the Astral Sage College.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All students of the Astral Sage College were chasing after them as their goals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that until now, the only Seven Star Pillars Li Luo had seen were Gong Shenjun and the Princess; he had only heard of the other five.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And according to what Instructor Xi Chan said, would these Seven Star Pillars also appear today?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was something to look forward to. Li Luo also wanted to learn about the other Seven Star Pillars, because at the end of the year, Jiang Qing'e might challenge one of them...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His wait did not last too long, because many gazes on the scene were curiously looking toward the Fourth Star Hall, so whenever there was movement there, it would cause a stir in the other Star Halls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Captain, another Seven Star Pillar has appeared!\" Bai Mengmeng, who was watching from the side, said in a low, envious voice, \"This senior sister has such a great figure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Li Luo immediately cast a critical gaze over, and then he saw a tall figure appear at the very front of the Fourth Star Hall, parallel to Gong Shenjun and the Princess, though he did not know when she had arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was a long-haired girl wearing black tactical gear; her figure, wrapped in the tight gear, was exceptionally hot, making many young girls' eyes fill with envy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl's facial features were quite sharp, but her expression was extremely cold, and her deep, dark eyes held little emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was quite different from the youthful vitality of the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of looks alone, she was not as good as Bai Mengmeng, but this figure was quite eye-catching; no wonder even Bai Mengmeng was exclaiming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Her name is Ye Chengying, from Lanling Prefecture. I heard she sometimes does some part-time work,\" Instructor Xi Chan said casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What kind of part-time work?\" Li Luo asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Being an assassin?\" Instructor Xi Chan smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"......\" Li Luo gave a dry laugh; this part-time job was too fierce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instructor Xi Chan tilted her head and looked at Li Luo, then suddenly laughed: \"Li Luo, you should be careful. Given the situation of your House Luolan, perhaps someone will really hire her to kill you in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"......\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo felt cold sweat appearing on his back and said, \"That wouldn't happen, right? We're classmates after all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hint of a smile appeared in Instructor Xi Chan's eyes as she said, \"Classmates are classmates, and business is business; they don't conflict.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Instructor, don't tease me, I'm timid,\" Li Luo wiped away a cold sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While they were discussing this girl named Ye Chengying, they didn't notice Xin Fu on the side, who slightly raised his head and, with his gaze under his hood, looked at the girl in black tactical gear from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was precisely this look that Ye Chengying seemed to notice; her slightly sharp, cold gaze was cast toward this side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xin Fu hurriedly lowered his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Ye Chengying's gaze still lingered on him for a moment from afar, and then she withdrew it with an expressionless face.\u003C\u002Fp>",1370,"2026-06-20T03:27:23.471Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","253da700e55a93df6bcb7942e1fd030dfe40bb23de5ca999de3f4c395d1eabb4","king-of-all-manifestations-chapter-236","king-of-all-manifestations-chapter-234",999,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fking-of-all-manifestations-cover.jpg"]
