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

Lu Lingxi slowly opened her eyes. She felt that the spiritual energy in her body was more abundant and purer than before, and there were faint signs of a breakthrough.

"Is everyone alright?" Lu Lingxi asked softly, looking around.

Zhuque, dressed in fiery red, patted her chest, saying with lingering fear, "Thank goodness, thank goodness, I was almost torn apart by those metal lumps. But that Phantom guy, he really scared me to death!"

Huan Yue also returned to human form. His face was pale and he still had several wounds on his body. He said with a bitter smile, "Yes, it's fortunate that we had the Flying Snow Sword, otherwise we would probably all have died here."

Lu Lingxi felt a pang of sadness. The phantom demon had gone out of control. Although it was temporarily sealed by the Flying Snow Sword, it had become a lingering shadow in her heart.

“Phantom…” Lu Lingxi Yao hesitated before speaking.

Suzaku sighed and said, "Master, you don't need to worry too much. Phantom just lost control temporarily. He'll be fine once he recovers."

Lu Lingxi nodded. She knew that Zhuque was trying to comfort her, but she knew in her heart that the situation of the illusion was probably not so simple. Demonization is not only an increase in power, but also a distortion of the mind. How easy is it to regain rationality?

Just then, a beam of light suddenly appeared in the center of the previously empty space. The light gradually condensed into a ball of light, within which an ancient key and a parchment scroll could be vaguely seen.

"This is……"

Lu Lingxi was taken aback. She sensed a familiar aura within the ball of light, an aura identical to the primal power of the Yellow Spring Tomb.

A hint of surprise flashed in Suzaku's eyes, "This must be the reward from the Tomb of the Underworld! We've passed three trials and finally obtained the key to unlock the final level!"

Lu Lingxi Yao reached out and the ball of light slowly flew over and landed in her hand. She unfolded the parchment scroll, on which was drawn a map. The map marked the various areas of the Yellow Spring Tomb and the location of the final checkpoint.

"The root of the underworld is in the final checkpoint!"

Lu Lingxi's gaze sharpened. She saw that the location of the final checkpoint on the map was marked by a special symbol, which was extremely similar to the pattern on the half of the ancient jade in her hand.

“It seems we are getting closer and closer to our goal,” Huan Yue said.

Lu Lingxi nodded. She put away the sheepskin scroll and the key. Just then, she suddenly felt an unusual aura coming from the Kunlun Ring. She probed with her divine sense and saw that half of the ancient jade in the Kunlun Ring was trembling slightly and emitting a soft light.

"Ancient jade..."

Lu Lingxi Yao's heart stirred, recalling the other half of the ancient jade in Bai Xiaochen's hand, and what he had said about the secret of the ancient jade. The two pieces of ancient jade were the key to opening and controlling the Yellow Spring Tomb. Only by collecting both pieces of ancient jade could one truly master the power of the Yellow Spring Tomb and stop the conspiracy of the Immortal Doctor's Dock.

However, when Lu Lingxi was about to ask Bai Xiaochen about the half of the ancient jade he had, she discovered that Bai Xiaochen had left sometime earlier.

"Where is Bai Xiaochen?" Lu Lingxi asked.

Zhuque and Huanyue then realized that Bai Xiaochen was missing. They looked around but couldn't find him anywhere, and clearly didn't know when he had left.

Suzaku said angrily, "Hmph, I knew he was up to something. Don't let me catch him, or I'll make him taste the power of my Phoenix Fire!"

A sense of foreboding welled up in Lu Lingxi's heart. Bai Xiaochen's disappearance was definitely not accidental. Zhuque's suspicions were indeed correct; there was indeed something wrong with Bai Xiaochen. Was he really the disciple of the Hundred Herbs Venerable? Was he really here to help them? What was his purpose in deliberately bringing them to the Yellow Spring Tomb?

Thinking of this, Lu Lingxi's gaze became firm. She had to find Bai Xiaochen as soon as possible, obtain the other half of the ancient jade, uncover the truth of the Yellow Spring Tomb, and stop the Hundred Herbs Venerable's conspiracy.

Just as Lu Lingxi was deep in thought, she suddenly felt a faint fluctuation of divine consciousness flash past her. She looked around sharply, only to find that there was no one there.

"Who is it?" Lu Lingxi was startled. She was certain that the fluctuation of divine sense just now was definitely not an illusion.

Zhuque and Huanyue were also startled by Lu Lingxiyao's reaction. They opened their eyes and looked around warily.

"Master, what's wrong?" Suzaku asked.

Lu Lingxi said with a solemn expression, "I just sensed that someone was watching us from the shadows."

"Spying?" Huan Yue's expression changed. "Could it be someone from Lord Baicao's faction?"

Lu Lingxi Yao pondered for a moment and said, "We can't rule out that possibility, but it could also be someone else."

"No matter who it is, we must be careful," Lu Lingxi said. "The road ahead will likely be even more dangerous."

Both Zhuque and Huanyue nodded, their faces showing solemn expressions.

"Let's go."

Lu Lingxi said, and she took the lead in walking towards the final checkpoint. Zhuque and Huanyue followed closely behind, their hearts filled with worry and doubt.
