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

As you proceed along the secret passage, the surrounding stone walls are inlaid with unknown, dark blue minerals that emit a faint light, barely illuminating the path ahead.

A putrid, chilling aura permeated the air, mixed with a faint smell of blood, making one feel extremely uncomfortable.

"This place... is too eerie." Huan Yue followed closely behind Lu Ling Xi Yao, her voice trembling slightly.

"Be careful, this is the Tomb of the Dead, not a peaceful place," Lu Lingxi Yao warned, her divine sense already spread out, vigilantly observing everything around her.

Zhuque looked excited, licking her lips and eager to try: "I think it's quite interesting. It's been a long time since I've encountered such an exciting place."

Phantom remained silent, walking quietly at the back of the group. His face was pale, and his brows were furrowed, as if he was trying to hold back something.

"Phantom, are you alright?" Lu Lingxi Yao noticed Phantom's unusual behavior and asked with concern.

“Master, I’m fine.” Phantom forced a smile. “It’s just that the demonic energy here… makes me feel a little uncomfortable.”

Lu Lingxi's heart sank. She knew that the phantom was a demonic blood vine, which was extremely sensitive to demonic energy. The demonic energy inside the Yellow Spring Tomb was so dense that it was undoubtedly a huge test for the phantom.

"Bear with it for now. Once we get the Yellow Spring Root, we'll leave immediately," Lu Lingxi Yao comforted her.

"Hmm." Phantom nodded and continued walking silently.

Bai Xiaochen walked at the front of the group, leading the way. His expression was somewhat complicated, showing both fear of the Yellow Spring Tomb and worry for Lu Lingxi and the others.

"The entrance to the inner part of the Tomb of the Underworld is just ahead," Bai Xiaochen suddenly stopped and pointed ahead.

Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing and saw a vast open area ahead. In the center of the open area was a huge vortex, which was slowly rotating and emitting a ghostly blue light, like an entrance to hell.

"Is this the entrance?" Lu Lingxi Yao looked at the vortex in front of her and felt a chill run down her spine.

“That’s right.” Bai Xiaochen nodded. “This vortex is formed by special energy inside the Tomb of the Underworld. Once you enter it, you will be transported to the interior of the Tomb of the Underworld.”

"This vortex looks terrifying. Could there be any danger?" Huan Yue asked timidly.

“There are definitely dangers,” Bai Xiaochen said. “The interior of the Yellow Spring Tomb is an independent secret space, filled with all sorts of unknown dangers and trials. However, as long as you are careful, there shouldn’t be any major problems.”

He paused, then added, "Moreover, the spiritual energy inside the Yellow Spring Tomb is extremely rich, making it a rare and precious cultivation ground for cultivators."

"A cultivation paradise?" Suzaku's eyes lit up. "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go in!"

"Don't rush." ​​Lu Lingxi stopped Zhuque's impulsiveness. "Bai Xiaochen, how much do you know about the situation inside the Yellow Spring Tomb? Is there anything we need to pay special attention to?"

Bai Xiaochen pondered for a moment and said, "The situation inside the Yellow Spring Tomb is very complicated. Although I have been there a few times, I have only been on the outer perimeter and dare not go deep. However, I once heard my master mention that there are three trials inside the Yellow Spring Tomb. Only by passing these three trials can one reach the core area where the Yellow Spring Root is located."

"Triple trials?" Lu Lingxi frowned slightly. "What exactly are these trials?"

"The first trial is the 'Netherworld Cold Pool,' which tests the purity of spiritual energy; the second trial is the 'Mirror of Rebirth,' which tests one's state of mind and will; and the third trial is the 'Blood Fiend Puppet,' which tests one's combat power," Bai Xiaochen said.

"That sounds interesting." Suzaku rubbed his hands together, eager to try it out.

"Don't let your guard down," Lu Lingxi reminded her. "These trials will definitely not be easy."

She turned to look at Phantom: "Phantom, how are you feeling? Can you hold on?"

Phantom took a deep breath, suppressing the discomfort in his body, and said, "Master, I can hold on."

“Okay.” Lu Lingxi nodded. “In that case, let’s go in.”

Lu Lingxi Yao took the lead and walked towards the vortex, followed closely by Zhuque, Huan Yue and Huan Ying. Bai Xiaochen hesitated for a moment and then followed.

As the group approached the vortex, a powerful suction force pulled them in instantly.

After a dizzying spin, the group found themselves in a completely new space. The sky was gray, devoid of sun and moon, with only some unknown luminous plants emitting a faint glow. The air was thick with a gloomy and deathly aura, creating an extremely oppressive atmosphere.

"Is this the interior of the Tomb of the Underworld?" Lu Lingxi Yao looked around, her brows furrowed.

“That’s right,” Bai Xiaochen said. “We should be in the outer area of ​​the Tomb of the Underworld right now.”

"So what should we do next?" Suzaku asked.

"First, we need to find the Netherworld Cold Pool to pass the first trial," Lu Lingxi said, then looked at Bai Xiaochen: "Bai Xiaochen, do you remember the location of the Netherworld Cold Pool?"

"I remember." Bai Xiaochen nodded. "Come with me."

Bai Xiaochen led the group in one direction. Along the way, they encountered all sorts of dangers, including poisonous snakes that suddenly sprang from the ground, traps hidden in the shadows, and strange monsters. However, they managed to overcome all of these dangers one by one.

Lu Lingxi Yao was the strongest. Wielding the Flying Snow Sword, she cut through all obstacles and was unstoppable. Zhu Que, dressed in a fiery red dress, controlled the Phoenix Fire, burning the surrounding monsters to ashes. Huan Yue and Huan Ying also used their supernatural powers to protect everyone. Bai Xiaochen assisted from the side, providing some information and help.

After a difficult journey, the group finally arrived at the Netherworld Cold Pool...
