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

Lu Lingxi and Zhuque traveled along the rugged mountain path. As the altitude increased, the air became increasingly thin. Zhuque narrowed her phoenix eyes and cautiously observed her surroundings. "Master, I sensed spatial fluctuations. We should be approaching the Star-Picking Cliff soon."

Before she could finish speaking, a piercing tearing sound suddenly came from ahead. The air shattered like a broken mirror, revealing a dark spatial rift. Lu Lingxi quickly retreated, gathering spatial spiritual power in her hands to form a barrier in front of her.

"Watch out!" Zhuque suddenly exclaimed, as the crack rapidly expanded, with countless tiny spatial rifts spreading outwards like a spider web.

Lu Lingxi reacted swiftly, her palm surging with lightning energy, transforming into a bolt of lightning that shattered the crack that was about to touch her.

“These cracks seem to follow a pattern,” Suzaku observed carefully, “expanding and contracting every so often.”

Lu Lingxi took out the Star Moon Mirror given to her by Zhu Qingying. Runes flowed on the mirror's surface, showing the distribution of spatial rifts in the surrounding space. "Found it," she said, pointing to a faint path in the mirror. "This is the only safe passage."

The two proceeded cautiously, with Lu Lingxi Yao holding the Star Moon Mirror and Zhuque on guard. Suddenly, a gust of wind swept in, stirring up dust that obscured their vision.

"Not good!" Suzaku's expression changed. "Someone is manipulating the wind element!"

Before the words were finished, a chilling laugh came from the wind, "I didn't expect anyone would actually dare to come to Star-Picking Cliff. Since that's the case, then don't blame me for being impolite!"

As the words fell, a figure emerged from the raging wind. It was an old man in a gray robe. He made hand seals, and countless wind blades condensed in the air, attacking the two of them like sharp swords.

Lu Lingxi gathered light spiritual power in her hands, transforming it into a light shield that blocked all the wind blades. At the same time, fire spiritual power surged beneath her feet, and she moved like lightning, instantly arriving in front of the old man and striking out with a palm.

The old man sneered, his figure flashing as he dodged the fatal blow. "You've got some skill, but on this Star-Picking Cliff, I'm invincible!"

As he spoke, he formed a hand seal, and the surrounding spatial rifts suddenly fluctuated violently, with countless black spatial fragments flying towards Lu Lingxi Yao like sharp blades.

"Master, be careful!" The Vermilion Bird spread its seven-colored wings, and flames erupted, burning the spatial fragments to ashes.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lu Lingxi Yao attacked, her lightning and wind spiritual power intertwining in her palm, transforming into a thunderstorm that enveloped the old man. The old man's expression changed drastically, and in haste, he summoned an ancient mirror in an attempt to block this terrifying attack.

With a loud "Boom!", the ancient mirror shattered, and the old man was forced to retreat repeatedly by the blow, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

"Who...who are you?" the old man asked in terror.

Lu Lingxi did not answer. She gathered dark spiritual power in her hand, which transformed into a jet-black longsword, the tip of which pointed directly at the old man's throat. "Where is the Taixu Star Dew?"

The old man suddenly grinned maliciously, "Want to know? Then die!" As he spoke, he pulled out a blood-red talisman and crushed it in his palm.

In an instant, all the surrounding spatial rifts erupted, and countless black spatial currents converged towards the center, forming a huge vortex. The old man laughed wildly, "Let's die together!"

A cold glint flashed in Lu Lingxi's eyes, and her long sword pierced out instantly. Dark spiritual power surged into the old man's body like a tide. The old man's laughter stopped abruptly, his body stiffened, and then he turned into a wisp of green smoke and dissipated in the air.

However, the spatial vortex did not disappear; instead, it became even more violent. Zhuque quickly spread its wings and shielded Lu Lingxi Yao behind it. "Master, we must leave here immediately!"

Lu Lingxi shook her head. She formed a hand seal, and the nine elements of spiritual power within her body surged simultaneously, forming a huge spiritual power barrier in the air, blocking all the turbulent spatial currents.

"Vermilion Bird," she said firmly, "let's keep going, the Dew of the Stars of the Void is just ahead!"

Zhuque nodded, and seven-colored flames swirled around her, protecting Lu Lingxi Yao. The two struggled forward through the turbulent spatial currents, heading towards the summit of Zhaixing Cliff.

The violent spatial turbulence continuously impacted Lu Lingxi Yao's spiritual energy barrier, producing a deafening roar. She frowned, and the nine elements of spiritual energy within her body circulated wildly to maintain the stability of the barrier.

"Master, there are unusual fluctuations ahead!" Zhuque narrowed her phoenix eyes and pointed to a distorted space in the distance.

Lu Lingxi gazed intently, and saw countless stars twinkling in the void, like stars in the night sky, breathtakingly beautiful. A thought struck her: "Could that be the place where the Taixu Star Dew gathers?"

Just then, a huge spatial rift suddenly appeared in front of the two of them, and countless sharp spatial fragments poured out of the rift, attacking them.

Lu Lingxi Yao brandished her Flying Snow Sword, shattering all the spatial fragments. At the same time, wind spiritual energy surged beneath her feet, propelling her towards the star-studded area.

Zhuque followed closely behind, her body surrounded by seven-colored flames that burned away the constantly attacking spatial turbulence.

As the distance closed, Lu Lingxi finally saw the true face of that area—it was a sea of ​​stars floating in the air, with countless starlight flowing within it, radiating a heart-palpitating energy fluctuation.

"There it is!" Zhuque suddenly exclaimed, pointing to the center of the Sea of ​​Stars, where a crystal-clear dewdrop was slowly condensing, radiating dazzling starlight.

A hint of joy flashed in Lu Lingxi's eyes. Just as she was about to step forward, she suddenly felt a powerful suction force coming from all directions. It turned out that the spatial rifts had suddenly erupted, forming a huge vortex that was trying to devour them.

"Master, be careful!" Zhuque hurriedly spread her wings, trying to protect Lu Lingxi Yao, but was repelled by a powerful force.

Lu Lingxi gritted her teeth, her internal spiritual energy surging wildly to form a barrier in front of her, barely resisting the suction force. She knew this was her last chance; if she missed this drop of Taixu Star Dew, she would have to wait another hundred years.

Thinking of Nalan Rongzhi suffering from the torment of the demonic poison, a resolute glint flashed in her eyes. She formed a hand seal, and the nine elements of spiritual power erupted simultaneously, forming a pillar of light that shattered all the spatial turbulence.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, she leaped into the air and landed above the Sea of ​​Stars, wielding her long sword to carve a path through it.

Just as the Taixu Star Dew was about to fully condense, Lu Lingxi Yao finally broke through numerous obstacles and arrived in front of the dewdrop. She carefully took out a jade bottle and put the drop of dew containing endless star power into it.

"We succeeded!" Suzaku exclaimed joyfully.

However, as the Dew of the Void Stars was harvested, the entire Sea of ​​Stars suddenly began to fluctuate violently, and countless starlight transformed into sharp blades, attacking the two of them.

Lu Lingxi Yao dared not delay, putting the jade bottle into her Kunlun Ring, while simultaneously brandishing her longsword and shattering all the starlight blades.

"Zhuque, let's go!" She grabbed Zhuque's hand, and the spatial spiritual energy surged, tearing open a rift in the void. The two quickly entered it and disappeared on the Star-Picking Cliff.

When they reappeared, they had arrived at the foot of the Star-Picking Cliff. Lu Lingxi took out a jade bottle and looked at the crystal-clear drop of Taixu Star Dew in the bottle, a trace of relief flashing in her eyes.
