After all, the Li Luo of today was no longer the same person who had just arrived at the Dragon Tooth Lineage; he was now the newly elected Dragon Head and the top of the Evil Demon Cave rankings, two identities that established him as the undisputed number one of this generation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although this trip to the Spirit Phase Cave Heaven included members of the previous generation’s Twenty Flags, and even Li Wuyuan, the Dragon Head of the previous generation, Li Luo’s weight could not be ignored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Over here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fengyi’s voice came from the room. Li Luo looked over and saw the members of the Dragon Tooth Lineage gathered together, with Li Jingtao and Li Fuling beside Li Fengyi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then walked over quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way, he passed the Dragon Scale Lineage’s team, and seeing Lu Qingmei, he smiled and greeted her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qingmei nodded in acknowledgment, her intense gaze fixed on Li Luo appearing even more fervent than before; this was not because she had any feelings for Li Luo, but simply because she felt that the current Li Luo was more worthy of her challenge than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside Lu Qingmei stood a tall youth. He stared at Li Luo’s back and said to Lu Qingmei with a smile, \"Junior Sister Lu, is he the Dragon Head of your generation? A Pole Evil Realm cultivator actually managing to secure the position of Dragon Head—this is the first time such a situation has occurred in the history of the Twenty Flags.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The youth was named Li Guan, the former Great Flag Head of the Holy Scale Flag. His current strength was similar to Li Fuling’s, both being at the Seven-Star Heavenly Pearl stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qingmei said calmly, \"Li Luo possesses three phases. Although he is only in the Pole Evil Realm, in terms of the depth of his phase power, he is not inferior to a One-Star Heavenly Pearl stage cultivator with an eighth-grade phase. Moreover, he has mastered that suspected Heavenly Mandate-grade Marquis-sealing Art. With the two combined, he can fight a Two-Star Heavenly Pearl.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think that by the time he steps into the Heavenly Pearl stage, those at the four or five-star Heavenly Pearl stage may not necessarily be able to do anything to him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Guan raised an eyebrow. Lu Qingmei’s evaluation of Li Luo was extremely high, but... the fact that Li Wuyuan had suddenly summoned everyone today was likely aimed at Li Luo. After all, the four flags of the Dragon Blood Lineage had occupied the position of Dragon Head for several generations, and now that Li Luo had broken this pattern, it was bound to invite some countermeasures from the Dragon Blood Lineage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very least, they would want to dampen Li Luo’s spirit and slightly hinder his momentum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the five Dragon lineages belonged to the same family, the internal competition was equally intense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the gaze of the crowd, Li Luo arrived at Li Fengyi’s side, and just as he stood still, a laugh came from another direction: \"Is this the new Dragon Head?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo followed the voice and saw a youth in dark red battle attire on the side of the Dragon Blood Lineage team, his eyes extremely sharp and giving off a strong sense of aggression, staring at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Li Wuyuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo smiled and said, \"Greetings, Senior Brother Li Wuyuan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although according to seniority he should call him cousin, they were not close, so Li Luo could not be bothered to act familiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Junior Brother Li Luo, you arrived quite late. Is the conduct of the four flags of the Dragon Tooth Lineage always this casual? With a personality like yours, you will likely suffer if you enter the Dragon Tooth Guard,\" Li Wuyuan said with a smile, his tone carrying a hint of a lecture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Li Hongli stood with her arms crossed, watching with great interest as Li Wuyuan made things difficult for Li Luo; after all, Li Luo had been too prominent lately, and it was rare to see someone capable of suppressing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo said helplessly, \"Is Senior Brother Li Wuyuan so idle that he has nothing to do? You wasted time summoning our teams just to say these meaningless, empty words?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Wuyuan’s eyes narrowed slightly. He stared at Li Luo’s face for a few seconds with eyes like sharp blades, then smiled faintly: \"Junior Brother Li Luo, are you really so lacking in manners? In terms of protocol, the Twenty Flags are considered subordinates to the Five Heavenly Dragon Guards.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo thought for a moment, took out the token of the Great House Master of the Azure Underworld House from his spatial sphere, and flashed a gentle smile: \"I’m sorry, I also concurrently serve as the Great House Master of the Azure Underworld House. Although it is an acting position, if you want to talk about status and protocol, then please do not call me Junior Brother; just call me Great House Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere in the room suddenly stalled. Everyone looked with strange expressions at the token in Li Luo’s hand that represented the status of the Great House Master of the Azure Underworld House. Among the various lineages, the Great House Masters held high and powerful positions. Compared to such a status, let alone Li Wuyuan, even the various commanders within the Five Heavenly Dragon Guards would not dare to put on airs before Li Luo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just... Li Luo was only at the Pole Evil Realm, so why had Lineage Head Li Jingzhe given him the token of the Great House Master of the Azure Underworld House? And even let him act as the Great House Master of the Azure Underworld House?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How... how could this be such a farce?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Li Jingzhe was the Lineage Head of the Dragon Tooth Lineage; even Lineage Head Li Tianji of the Dragon Blood Lineage could not force him to change his decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, looking at the token in Li Luo’s hand, everyone could only swallow hard in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I originally intended to interact with you all as an ordinary person, but you insisted on lecturing me about status and protocol. Now that it’s come to this, how am I supposed to blend in with everyone?\" Li Luo sighed with some dissatisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The expression on Li Wuyuan’s face was slightly stiff. He had never expected that Li Luo would have such a formal status. Was the Dragon Tooth Lineage always this willful in their actions? That Lineage Head Li Jingzhe was simply too doting on Li Luo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo smiled and waved the token at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Wuyuan took a deep breath and bowed to Li Luo: \"Greetings, Great House Master Li Luo.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, his posture was as stiff as a corpse, and suppressed anger surged in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The expressions of Li Hongli and the others nearby became instantly fascinating; they wished they could turn around and disappear immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, seeing this, Li Luo slowly put the token away and said, \"Forget it, let’s just address each other as we were, lest others say that I, this Great House Master, am bullying my subordinates.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the crowd finally relaxed; otherwise, they had intended to leave quickly to avoid having to bow to Li Luo upon meeting, which would have lowered their seniority for no reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Wuyuan gave a muffled snort—why didn't you say that earlier, instead of waiting for me to finish bowing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at Li Luo, his expression calmed down, and he said indifferently: \"The reason I summoned the teams from each lineage this time is to discuss matters regarding our entry into the \"Spirit Phase Cave Heaven\" later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the Spirit Phase Cave Heaven, the various forces are intricate and complex, and there are many rogue cultivators, so even though we are a Heavenly King-level force, we must not be careless and need to work together. After all, there are geniuses from other Heavenly King-level forces eyeing us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since we have many teams, we must have a leader to integrate our strength, command the overall situation, and deal with any trouble.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had finally stated the purpose of this meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the crowd did not object to this. Each lineage had brought many people this time, and when combined, they formed a sizable team; sometimes, acting on their own was indeed a bit scattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since we need to choose a leader, we should naturally choose the one with the greatest strength. Therefore, I believe Cousin Li Wuyuan is the only choice for the position of leader,\" Li Hongli was the first to speak, strongly supporting Li Wuyuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people from the Dragon Blood Lineage also expressed their support one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph, I think we should choose based on status and position. Li Luo is the Great House Master of the Azure Underworld House, holding the highest status; it is only right and proper that he leads,\" Li Fengyi immediately objected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could she not see that the Dragon Blood Lineage wanted to recommend Li Wuyuan as the leader? If they really gained command of the team, and if they had any ulterior motives, they would assign dangerous tasks to their Dragon Tooth Lineage, and for the sake of the big picture, they would have to grit their teeth and endure it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Will the geniuses from other forces in the Spirit Phase Cave Heaven take this 'Great House Master' title as real?\" Li Hongli said unhurriedly, with a hint of mockery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone from the Dragon Bone Lineage also chimed in in agreement: \"Inside the Spirit Phase Cave Heaven, strength is king.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other lineages also nodded slightly; there were many strong enemies in the Spirit Phase Cave Heaven, and the consensus that strength was king could still be reached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fengyi gritted her teeth and wanted to argue, but Li Fuling pulled her back, stepped forward, and said calmly: \"If strength is king, we have to test it to know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fuling also knew Li Fengyi’s concerns, and as they were both from the Dragon Tooth Lineage, she naturally needed to stand up and support her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Wuyuan’s gaze rested on Li Fuling, a smile appearing on the corner of his mouth: \"Li Fuling, you and I have fought so many times, and you haven't won once. What else is there to test?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But if you really want to test it, I will naturally give you the chance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Wuyuan waved his sleeve, and a yellow light flew out, transforming into a large earthy-yellow cauldron. The cauldron was engraved with ten thousand mountains, seemingly exuding an incomparably heavy sensation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As this cauldron appeared, the expressions of many people present changed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is Li Wuyuan’s 'Ten Thousand Mountain Heavy Cauldron', a Purple Eye Treasure. This cauldron is extraordinarily heavy. If it is unleashed, anyone who is not at the Eight-Star Heavenly Pearl stage cannot withstand it. In the martial arts discussions of the Five Heavenly Dragon Guards, I don't know how many people were crushed by him with this cauldron,\" someone from the Five Guards said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Li Fuling, if you can catch this cauldron, then you have the qualifications to compete for the position of leader.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Wuyuan smiled faintly, and then the earthy-yellow cauldron immediately carried a massive gravitational force. Wherever it passed, even the void rippled, and it then directly suppressed the position where Li Fuling was standing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Li Fuling hurriedly pushed Li Fengyi aside. Her pretty face was solemn, she gritted her silver teeth, and the phase power in her body was unleashed without reservation. Seven brilliant Heavenly Pearls appeared behind her, swallowing and spitting out the energy of heaven and earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she pushed out a palm, and an energy palm print condensed and collided with the descending cauldron with a boom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hum!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A violent energy shockwave spread out, forcing the people nearby to retreat one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, their gazes did not shift, staring at the point where the energy palm print and the cauldron collided. They saw the cauldron descending continuously in a slow and firm manner, while the energy palm print was falling bit by bit, with cracks appearing on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, Li Fuling’s Seven-Star Heavenly Pearl stage strength could not block the suppression of Li Wuyuan’s cauldron at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the crowd did not find this scene strange, because Li Fuling had already been suppressed by Li Wuyuan’s heavy cauldron many times before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Wuyuan watched this scene leisurely, a faint smile on his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people from the Dragon Blood Lineage nearby also began to chat and laugh, praising Li Wuyuan’s extraordinary strength; he was worthy of being the previous Dragon Head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they were speaking, the heavy cauldron became increasingly heavy, and finally, the energy palm print could no longer withstand it and shattered instantly, turning into dots of energy light filling the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heavy cauldron, however, did not lose its momentum and descended directly toward Li Fuling, clearly intending to make her look even worse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, just as the heavy cauldron was about to collide with Li Fuling, a fair and slender jade hand suddenly reached out from behind, its five fingers curled into a fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It then slammed directly into the heavy cauldron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A crisp sound exploded, and a visible energy shockwave swept out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the crowd saw with shock that the heavy cauldron, which had suppressed Li Fuling until she had no power to resist, was actually sent flying by that fair and slender fist, finally smashing into the floor and creating cracks in the floor that was protected by energy light patterns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spacious cabin fell silent instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stunned gazes turned toward the person who had thrown the punch, and they saw a somewhat unfamiliar young woman gently rubbing her own fist, then revealing a shallow smile at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a heavy cauldron, it actually hurts a bit to hit it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",2394,"2026-06-20T03:27:27.871Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","d73999d0b9112c44e36a84507e62a17eea49a74da473c97291b520811874b2d5","king-of-all-manifestations-chapter-937","king-of-all-manifestations-chapter-935",999,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fking-of-all-manifestations-cover.jpg"]
