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

Chapter 263 An Old Friend Arrives Through the Sky

"Om..."

A deep hum echoed between heaven and earth, the sound originating from the vibration of space.

Lu Lingxi felt a chill run down her spine. She keenly sensed that this was not a natural phenomenon, but rather some powerful force forcibly interfering with this space.

"This is... the power of space!"

Lu Lingxi exclaimed inwardly. She was no stranger to spatial power, as she herself possessed a spatial spiritual root, but she had never seen such powerful spatial power that could directly tear space apart!

"Click..."

With a crisp cracking sound, a pitch-black rift appeared out of thin air at the center of the spatial ripples. The rift grew larger and larger, like a gaping maw of an abyss, seemingly capable of swallowing everything.

Immediately afterwards, a phantom slowly emerged from the crack. The figure was initially blurry, but as it gradually stepped out of the spatial rift, it became more and more solid.

This is an elderly man with white hair, wearing a simple white Taoist robe. The robe has no decorations, yet it gives people a feeling of returning to simplicity.

The old man had white hair but a youthful face, skin as delicate as a baby's, and eyes as deep as the starry sky, seemingly containing endless wisdom and vicissitudes.

He was surrounded by a faint aura, which was not deliberately released but flowed naturally, like a celestial being descending to earth, with a powerful yet restrained presence.

The old man stood in the void, yet he gave people a sense of being grounded. His gaze immediately fell on Lu Lingxi Yao, or more accurately, on the Immortal-grade Demon-Purifying Pill in Lu Lingxi Yao's hand.

Lu Lingxi felt a jolt as the old man stared at her, as if she were locked in place by an invisible force and unable to move.

She was utterly shocked; the old man was incredibly powerful.

What surprised Lu Lingxi even more was that looking at this old man, she felt a strange sense of familiarity. This familiarity did not come from her memories of this life, but from the depths of her soul, from a more distant and vague memory.

"This...this feeling...I feel like I've seen him somewhere before..." Lu Lingxi Yao wondered. She tried hard to recall, but she still couldn't remember where she had seen this old man before.

She was certain she had never seen the old man before, yet the sense of familiarity was so strong that it left her utterly bewildered.

"Zheng!"

The Flying Snow Sword within Lu Lingxi Yao's body vibrated violently, its blade trembling incessantly, as if trying to break free from her control and fly towards the old man.

Feixue's voice echoed in her mind, filled with excitement and awe: "Master, it's him! It's him! The First Palace Master! It's the remnant soul of the First Palace Master!"

Feixue's voice completely snapped Lu Lingxi out of her shock. She looked at the old man in front of her in disbelief, her heart filled with turbulent emotions.

"The first Palace Master? A remnant soul?" These two words kept echoing in her mind, making it difficult for her to accept for a while.

The old man spoke slowly, his voice gentle yet weathered: "A descendant of the Flying Snow Palace, I am Ling Xuzi, the first Palace Master of the Flying Snow Palace."

Ling Xuzi's words exploded in Lu Lingxi Yao's heart like a thunderclap. She stared wide-eyed at the remnant soul of the man who claimed to be the first master of the Flying Snow Palace, her heart filled with doubt and shock.

The first master of the Flying Snow Palace was a legendary figure. How could he appear here, and in the form of a remnant soul?

"You...you are really the first Palace Master of Feixue Palace?" Lu Lingxi's voice trembled slightly as she tried to calm her excitement and remain composed.

Ling Xuzi nodded slightly, his gaze still gentle: "My remnant soul can sense the aura of the Flying Snow Sword, which is the best proof."

Lu Lingxi was a little confused, so she communicated with Feixue telepathically, "Feixue, haven't you been sleeping in the Kunlun Ring? Judging from this old man's tone, he seems to know you quite well."

Feixue slowly said, "Before my master disappeared, I often sneaked out. The longest I ever disappeared was with this old man. We had been through thick and thin together, so he was naturally very familiar with my aura!"

Lu Lingxi nodded. "So that's how it is!"

With her doubts resolved, Lu Lingxi looked at Ling Xuzi again, the image of the portrait hanging on the shrine of the Flying Snow Palace flashing through her mind.

The person in the portrait looked remarkably like Ling Xuzi before him, except that the person in the portrait was younger and more spirited.

She remembered her grandfather saying that this ancestor was the 103rd generation successor of the Flying Snow Palace, only two generations older than her grandfather. He was the most proud genius of the Flying Snow Palace, but he suddenly disappeared one day and could not be found, as if he had vanished into thin air.

"Are you... are you from the same world as me? Are you my... ancestor?" Lu Lingxi asked tentatively, a guess forming in her mind, but she wasn't sure.

A hint of reminiscence flashed in Ling Xuzi's eyes as he slowly said, "Indeed, you and I come from the same world. By seniority, I am indeed your ancestor."

While Lu Lingxi was shocked, she suddenly realized why the old man looked familiar – it was because they were related by blood! Her grandfather had mentioned this brilliant ancestor, but she never expected that he had also transmigrated! And even earlier than her!

Ling Xuzi noticed Lu Lingxi's confusion and answered her questions one by one: "I did indeed transmigrate here, but many years earlier than you. After arriving in this world, I founded the Flying Snow Palace and left behind a legacy, hoping that one day, a descendant will inherit my mantle..."

He paused, then continued, "As for those things similar to your world, they were all created by me based on my memories, hoping to leave some clues for future generations..."

Hearing this, Lu Lingxi Yao finally understood why those things that were the same as those in modern times appeared. Ling Xuzi had traveled to an era earlier than Lu Lingxi Yao, which is why the Flying Snow Palace came into being. This also confirmed Lu Lingxi Yao's shock when she first heard about the Flying Snow Palace. All her doubts were answered at this moment.
