Genius in the whole system: The useless young lady dominates the world

After Lu Lingxi entered the portal, the area in front of her seemed to be an endless void, with a faint mist all around. Every step she took felt like stepping into the edge of another world.

An indescribable sense of oppression filled the air, making her uneasy. Suddenly, the surrounding scenery began to distort, and illusions surged in like a tide, with familiar yet strange scenes intertwining before her eyes.

She saw the grief of losing her parents in her childhood, the frustration of countless failures on her cultivation path, and the dearest friends and dreams she had to give up due to insufficient strength... These illusions were like sharp blades, cutting into her heart and arousing the fear and unease deep within her.

The inner demon, the most cunning enemy in this trial, silently took root in her heart, attempting to devour her will.

Having previously fought against her inner demons in the Lost City, Lu Lingxi Yao's will remained strong, and she did not succumb to despair.

She closed her eyes tightly, took a deep breath, and let her mind return to peace. Deep in her heart, she told herself, "No matter how real an illusion is, it is not reality; no matter how strong the inner demons are, they originate from within; only by recognizing oneself can one break free from the cocoon and become a butterfly."

When she opened her eyes again, they were clear. She then began to observe the illusions carefully and found that although they were incredibly realistic, there was always a trace of unnaturalness in them. Whenever an illusion tried to deceive her, she used her inner conviction as a sword to cut it down one by one.

As the illusions shattered, she felt a warm power welling up from the bottom of her heart, as if the power within her was awakening.

Finally, amidst the chaos, she found the center of the illusion—a massive black sphere formed from countless illusions, the source of all these illusions, and the physical manifestation of her inner demons.

Lu Lingxi gathered all her strength, and the spiritual power in her hand transformed into a dazzling light, striking the center of the black sphere. With a deafening roar, the black sphere exploded, and the illusion collapsed, revealing the true third layer of space.

At the same time, the elder guarding the tower on the third floor suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes, a barely perceptible ripple appearing in his mind. A hint of surprise flashed through his heart. He hadn't expected that Lu Lingxi Yao would come out so quickly. She actually had such a strong will.

Just as his mind was racing, the tower gate opened slightly, and a graceful figure slowly walked out. It was Lu Lingxi Yao. Her face revealed an indescribable tenacity and composure. Her clothes swayed slightly, seemingly carrying the unique and mysterious spiritual energy fluctuations from the third level.

The elder guarding the tower's gaze instantly turned fervent. He stood up and approached the elder with an almost solemn demeanor, his voice trembling slightly.

"Truly a prodigy, little girl! You were able to comprehend the mysteries of the third level in such a short time. You are a rare genius in our tower!"

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Lu Lingxi's eyes. She bowed slightly to the tower-guarding elder, "Thank you for your praise, Elder!"

"Child, you have cleared the third level. If you wish to continue the challenge, simply proceed to the next level."

Upon hearing this, Lu Lingxi Yao's eyes sparkled with anticipation. She bowed deeply to the tower-guarding elder, then turned and walked towards the fourth floor.

The entrance to the fourth floor was still a door of light. Without the slightest hesitation or retreat, Lu Lingxi stepped inside.

Upon entering the portal, the scene before one's eyes suddenly changed, as if entering a bizarre and fantastical world. All around were flowing barriers woven from elements: a sea of ​​shimmering gold coins, a forest of towering green trees, a frozen wasteland, a volcano burning with flames, a desert with flying yellow dust, a storm eye raging with gales, storm clouds intertwined with lightning, a radiant holy realm, and a dark abyss. The nine elemental domains intertwined to form a complex labyrinth, each area radiating its own unique power fluctuations, both beautiful and dangerous.

At first, Lu Lingxi Yao tried to explore in a conventional way, but she soon discovered that blindly walking in this elemental maze would only make her go around in circles.

Each elemental region seems to possess its own consciousness, changing its layout according to the intentions and actions of those who enter, causing people to lose their way. Worse still, whenever she enters an elemental region, she will be tested and provoked by the power of that element, such as the biting cold of the ice region and the scorching flames of the fire region. If she is not careful, she will be severely injured by the power of the element.

Faced with this unprecedented challenge, Lu Lingxi took a deep breath and decided to change her strategy. She recalled the "Elemental Resonance" method taught by her master, a technique that allows one to perceive and harmonize the power of natural elements.

She began to try to communicate with the elements around her, listening attentively to the voice of each element and understanding their rhythm and patterns.

In the metal element region, she learned to gather the energy of metal; in the wood element forest, she used the pulse of life to establish a connection with the trees, guiding her to find the right path; in the opposition of ice and fire, she learned balance, unafraid of frost and blazing flames; the earth element made her grounded, the wind element gave her lightness and speed, the lightning element taught her how to find breakthroughs in adversity, and the light and darkness made her understand the true meaning of yin and yang harmony.

Finally, in the center of what appeared to be an ordinary open space, Lu Lingxi Yao discovered the "Heart of Elements," a sphere radiating a soft light that gathered the power of all elements and was the core of the maze.

The moment she touched the Heart of the Elements, a warm and powerful energy surged into her body. The power of all the elements seemed to merge at that moment. Now, she could manipulate the elements more easily, and her control over elemental fusion was greatly enhanced.

With the recognition of the Elemental Heart, all obstacles in the maze disappeared. This experience not only greatly increased Lu Lingxi Yao's strength, but more importantly, it broadened and deepened her mind.

As soon as she entered the fifth floor of the White Jade Tower, an ancient and wild aura rushed towards her, and the surrounding light instantly dimmed. Lu Lingxi was already standing in the center of a dense forest, and she could feel the danger lurking around her.

Lu Lingxi looked around warily, every sense of her being on edge. Suddenly, a strange heat wave broke the silence. Then, a huge fire lizard, its body enveloped in raging flames, leaped out of the dense bushes like a burning meteorite, instantly filling her field of vision.

Each of its breaths was accompanied by a deafening roar, and the blazing flames, like a volcanic eruption, carried temperatures high enough to melt steel, engulfing the surrounding trees one by one, turning them into ashes and charcoal.

Faced with such a terrifying opponent, Lu Lingxi Yao did not back down in the slightest. She quickly mobilized the spiritual power in her body, and a light blue spiritual power shield surrounded her.

Lu Lingxi Yao moved nimbly, wielding the Flying Snow Sword, instantly transforming into a streak of light, aiming straight for the Flaming Lizard's vitals.

However, the Flame Lizard is no ordinary creature. It has thick skin and incredible speed. Its huge tail is like a giant steel whip, sweeping across the ground and creating gusts of wind that snap the surrounding trees in half.

In their first encounter, Lu Lingxi's Flying Snow Sword, though sharp, only left a shallow mark on the Flame Lizard's scales. The Flame Lizard's flames forced her to dodge immediately, narrowly avoiding its fatal blow.

Faced with such a powerful monster, Lu Lingxi took a deep breath and then moved again. This time, her swordsmanship was no longer a simple attack, but incorporated elemental power. The sword shadows were numerous and difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion, forming a dazzling sword net that firmly trapped the Flame Lizard.

The Flame Lizard roared repeatedly, unwilling to be outdone. It opened its huge mouth, and a torrent of flames, even more violent and scorching than before, surged out, attempting to break through the sword net.

However, Lu Lingxi Yao's swordsmanship had already reached the seventh level of the Flying Snow Sword Technique. Not only was the sword net not destroyed, but it tightened up and compressed the flames, eventually turning them into a dazzling fireball that hung in mid-air.

At this critical moment, Lu Lingxi Yao suddenly leaped up, her longsword condensing all her sword intent and elemental power, transforming into an extremely dazzling sword light. Like lightning, it pierced through the fireball and also through the heart of the Flaming Lizard.

With a deafening roar, the once invincible Flame Lizard finally crashed to the ground, its massive body slamming into the earth and kicking up a cloud of dust. Its flames gradually died down and vanished into nothingness.

Lu Lingxi stood there, still catching her breath. Then, a series of low roars came from the depths of the forest, attracting more monsters. There were huge shadow bears, incredibly fast shadow leopards, and cunning shadow snakes that were good at hiding in the shadows.

These demonic beasts each possess unique skills, making Lu Lingxi Yao's situation increasingly difficult. She not only has to dodge the attacks of the demonic beasts, but also look for opportunities to fight back, while remaining vigilant to prevent being ambushed by other demonic beasts.

Faced with such a powerful horde of monsters, Lu Lingxi Yao used her keen sense of the surrounding environment to find a relatively safe refuge—a secluded valley covered with thorns.

Here, she was able to temporarily avoid the monsters' sight, and at the same time, she used the terrain advantage of the valley to set up some simple traps to delay the monsters' pursuit.

During her refuge, Lu Lingxi Yao discovered that although these demonic beasts were powerful, each of them had its weaknesses. For example, the Shadow Bear was incredibly strong, but relatively slow; the Shadow Leopard was fast, but lacked stamina.

Therefore, Lu Lingxi decided to exploit these weaknesses and defeat them one by one.

First, she used the Shadow Bear's sluggishness to set a trap and lure it into triggering it, thus easily defeating it. As for the Shadow Panther, she used her speed and agility to maneuver around it, eventually finding an excellent opportunity to kill it with a single blow.

After a series of arduous battles, Lu Lingxi not only successfully escaped the pursuit of all the monsters, but also collected rare materials from them.

In the end, Lu Lingxi successfully passed the test of the fifth floor of the Jade Tower, not only improving her strength but also gaining valuable practical experience.

The sixth level of the White Jade Pagoda is a strange illusion of time and space, surrounded by boundless void. Here, stars are like dust, and the light is dazzling, as if the entire universe has been compressed into this one space.

In this illusionary realm of time and space, the boundaries between time and space become blurred. Lu Lingxi felt a powerful pulling force, sometimes pulling her towards the distant past, and sometimes pushing her towards the unknown future.

She tried to calm herself, but found that her memories were becoming disordered, with past experiences and future illusions intertwined, making it difficult for her to distinguish between reality and illusion.

Worse still, she discovered that her body was also beginning to be affected by the temporal distortion, sometimes shrinking to the size of a child, sometimes growing to the size of a mountain, with each change accompanied by intense pain and discomfort.

In this chaotic spacetime, Lu Lingxi Yao seemed to be a lost boat, at any moment likely to be swept into an endless abyss.

In this moment of despair, Lu Lingxi Yao tried her best to calm herself down. She remembered that in the space, there was an ancient scroll that recorded the profound mysteries of the laws of spacetime: in order to return to the real world, one must find the correct node hidden in the illusion of spacetime.

She began to observe her surroundings, trying to find patterns in the changes of time and space.

Through repeated attempts and failures, she discovered that whenever the stars arranged themselves in a certain pattern, the fluctuations in spacetime would become particularly intense, as if it were some kind of hint.

So, using her limited knowledge of astrology, she began to try to predict and track the changes in these stars, hoping to capture that crucial moment in time and space.

After countless deductions, Lu Lingxi finally captured that subtle spacetime fluctuation during a major celestial event.

Without hesitation, she leaped into the light, merging herself completely into the dazzling glow.

At that moment, she felt as if she had traversed endless time and space, experiencing countless life and death encounters. Finally, when the light faded, she found herself standing at the exit of the sixth floor of the White Jade Tower, and everything around her returned to normal.

Inside the seventh level, there were no swords or shadows, no raging fire or freezing ice, only a vast and ethereal space. An indescribable sense of oppression permeated the air. This level was similar to the third level, mainly to help her find herself and stay true to herself.

Faced with those painful memories, Lu Lingxi closed her eyes, calmed her mind, and examined those emotions and memories one by one. She learned to understand her past self from an outsider's perspective, to use compassion and wisdom to resolve her inner pain, and to use firm faith to support her faltering will.

Through repeated inner dialogues, Lu Lingxi Yao gradually found her own answers. She learned how to remain calm in anger, find hope in sorrow, and embrace herself in loneliness. Her soul underwent unprecedented tempering in this endless furnace, becoming increasingly resilient and radiant.

Finally, when all the flames of emotion turned into starlight and vanished without a trace, Lu Lingxi opened her eyes, her eyes shining with an unprecedented firmness and clarity.

She passed the test of the crucible of the soul, which not only strengthened her willpower but also taught her how to control her emotions.

Upon entering the eighth floor, the surrounding air became heavy and sluggish, and invisible forces, like thousands of chains, instantly bound Lu Lingxi Yao.

Gravity, time, space... all sorts of supreme laws are as dazzling as stars, yet each operates independently, forming insurmountable barriers.

Lu Lingxi felt as if her body was being squeezed by countless invisible hands, making every step extremely difficult. Since she was bound and unable to move, she decided to calm down and think things through.

She sat cross-legged, closed her eyes and concentrated, recalling every detail of her cultivation journey. Under this extreme pressure and constraint, Lu Lingxi Yao's potential was fully unleashed. She began to try to touch the essence of those laws and understand the meaning behind them. She discovered that every law is a truth of heaven and earth. They are both a constraint on all things and the soil for the growth of all things.

Through repeated attempts, Lu Lingxi Yao suddenly realized that the true realm was not given by the outside world, but created by one's own mind, and was a profound understanding and mastery of the laws of heaven and earth.

Suddenly, her eyes snapped open, a resolute light flashing within them. In that instant, she seemed to see the essence of chaos—a being that transcended time and space, shapeless and colorless, yet brimming with endless possibilities and power.

As she deepened her perception, the chaotic scene began to become clearer. She seemed to see a void universe, in which stars dotted the sky like countless dazzling gems, while she herself was like a speck of dust in this universe, tiny and insignificant.

However, it was in this void of the universe that she sensed the true mystery of the power of chaos, a primal and pure force, unbound by anything, free and wild.

When she tried to touch this power, she found that her soul seemed to merge with the chaos and began to soar in the endless universe.

During her flight, she witnessed many strange sights: ancient chaotic demons wandering in the void, emanating a terrifying aura; mysterious chaotic lotuses blooming in the chaos, releasing dazzling light; and countless chaotic spiritual energies intertwining in the void, forming beautiful pictures.

Inspired by these visions, Lu Lingxi Yao gradually grasped the true meaning of the Chaos Realm. She understood that the power of chaos was not simply destruction and annihilation, but a power of creation and rebirth. Once she mastered this power, she would have the power to change the world.

With Lu Lingxi's sudden enlightenment, the laws that had originally bound her now became the source of her power. At the same time, the entrance to the eighth level appeared before her.
