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

The battle was over, but the three of them dared not relax for a moment. Lu Lingxi quickly withdrew the aura of the Phoenix True Fire, redeployed the fire shield and wind shield, and urged, "The smell of blood here is too strong, which may attract something more troublesome. Let's leave quickly!"

They walked for an unknown amount of time in the boundless snowfield. Just when they felt they were about to give up, Lu Lingxi, who had been using spatial perception to find her way, finally showed a hint of joy in her eyes.

"There seems to be an ice cave ahead... where we can temporarily take shelter from the wind and snow!"

This news cheered Nalan Rongzhi and Di Lin up. Guided by Lu Lingxi Yao, they wandered around and finally found a cave entrance half-hidden by wind and snow at the bottom of an inconspicuous ice cliff.

The entrance to the cave is small, allowing only one person to bend down and enter, but inside lies a completely different world. It is a naturally formed ice cave, with a space of several meters in diameter. The cave walls are as clear as crystal, reflecting a faint light. Although it is still cold here, at least it is insulated from the blizzard outside.

"Pfft!"

The moment Di Lin entered the ice cave, he could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, his face deathly pale and his lips even slightly purple.

Nalan Rongzhi was also not in good condition. He slowly sat down against the ice wall, closed his eyes, and silently regulated his breathing, but his slightly trembling fingertips still betrayed his weakness at this moment.

Lu Lingxi was in the best condition among the three. Looking at Nalan Rongzhi and Di Lin, she was filled with worry. She walked to their side, took out several top-grade healing pills and Qi-restoring pills from her Kunlun Ring, and stuffed them into Nalan Rongzhi and Di Lin's mouths without saying a word. She also took one herself.

Then, she sat cross-legged beside Di Lin, her slender, fair hands gently resting on his back. A gentle yet vibrant wood elemental energy slowly flowed into Di Lin's body, nourishing his damaged meridians and depleted demonic power, and relieving the coldness in his body.

Di Lin's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed under Lu Lingxi Yao's treatment, and a trace of color returned to his pale face.

After doing all this, Lu Lingxi Yao came to Nalan Rongzhi's side, looked at his handsome but slightly pale face, and reached out her hand, wanting to transfer spiritual power to him.

Nalan Rongzhi suddenly opened his eyes, grabbed her wrist, and his deep eyes held an undeniable domineering yet tender expression. "Take care of yourself first."

He took Lu Lingxi's cold little hand in his own and carefully channeled a stream of pure magical energy into her body to help her regulate her disordered breathing.

Lu Lingxi felt a warmth in her heart and did not refuse, letting his warm energy flow through her body.

"How much longer... do we have to go?" Di Lin's voice sounded weakly.

Lu Lingxi looked at the blizzard outside, which showed no signs of abating, and said softly, "I don't know, but we've only just ventured into the edge of this frozen wasteland. The road ahead will probably be even more difficult."

Inside the ice cave, Nalan Rongzhi was the first to finish his practice. He glanced at Lu Lingxi and Di Lin, who were still meditating, then silently got up, walked to the cave entrance, and cautiously observed the still raging wind and snow outside.

Under the nourishment of Lu Lingxi Yao's wood spirit power, Di Lin finally caught his breath. He opened his eyes and saw Nalan Rongzhi guarding the cave entrance. He then looked at Lu Lingxi Yao, who was still recuperating, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

Lu Lingxi Yao took the longest to recuperate. She not only needed to recover her spiritual and mental strength, but also to deal with the backlash caused by forcibly activating the fragments of divine power. When she opened her eyes again, although there was still fatigue in them, they were much clearer.

“The wind and snow are still heavy outside, let’s rest some more…” Di Lin was about to suggest that they recover a little more when Lu Lingxi Yao suddenly frowned slightly. She listened attentively, then closed her eyes and focused her mind back into the Kunlun Ring.

"What's wrong, Yao Yao?" Nalan Rongzhi noticed her unusual behavior and immediately returned to her side.

Lu Lingxi did not answer immediately. With the amplification of the Kunlun Ring, her spiritual power penetrated the thick ice and the raging wind and snow, probing in an extremely hidden direction.

There, she sensed an unusually faint energy fluctuation, a fluctuation like a mark sealed by time, slumbering deep within this frozen wasteland.

“There seems to be something around here.” Lu Lingxi opened her eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in them. “A very ancient energy fluctuation, hidden by a powerful seal.”

"Which direction?" Di Lin asked anxiously, the mark between his brows seemed to sense something and began to heat up slightly.

Lu Lingxi stood up and pointed to an ice wall deep inside the ice cave: "Over there, you need to cross a section of glacier."

So the three of them stopped resting and followed Lu Lingxi's senses, passing through a glacier buried by a blizzard. Finally, on the leeward side of a steep ice cliff, they found a cave entrance that was almost completely covered by ice and snow.

The ice walls surrounding the cave entrance were covered with a layer of ancient runes that were visible to the naked eye and shimmered with a pale blue halo. A powerful icy barrier emanated from the cave entrance, sealing off all traces of life inside.

"It's right here. That energy fluctuation is coming from inside," Lu Lingxi said with certainty.

"Let me give it a try!" Di Lin stepped forward, channeled his demonic power, and condensed a nine-colored ball of light to try and bombard the layer of ice barrier.

"Bang!" The nine-colored light sphere crashed into the barrier and instantly dissipated. A powerful backlash suddenly came, causing Di Lin to stagger backward.

"Such a powerful restriction!" Di Lin's expression changed slightly.

Nalan Rongzhi frowned slightly. He raised his hand, and spatial power condensed at his fingertips, attempting to forcefully break open a passage. However, he quickly discovered that the space here was unusually stable, as if it had been reinforced by some more powerful force. Although his spatial power could shake the restrictions, it could not tear it open as easily as before.

“The restrictions here seem to be connected to the primordial power of this frozen wasteland. Forcibly breaking them could lead to unpredictable consequences,” Nalan Rongzhi said in a deep voice.

Lu Lingxi stepped forward and carefully examined the ancient runes on the restriction. After a moment, she said softly, "This is a restriction that combines elemental sealing and bloodline power. To open it, you must find the correct rune node and guide it with the corresponding elemental power. At the same time, you also need specific bloodline power as a key to resonate with it."

She looked at Di Lin: "Nine-Tailed Fox, test your bloodline power."

"Yes, Master!" Di Lin immediately focused his mind, and the nine-tailed fox mark between his brows lit up again.

Lu Lingxi took a deep breath and drew mysterious trajectories with her hands in front of her. Her ten fingers were like leaping elves, drawing upon the elemental power of heaven and earth.

"Golden Sharpness, Break!" She flicked a highly condensed golden beam of light from her fingertip, aiming precisely at a raised rune on the barrier.

"Wood's life, entanglement!" Emerald green energy threads spread out, entangling another shimmering rune, using softness to overcome hardness, slowly eroding its power.

"Water melts, transforms!" Gentle water elemental power seeped into the surface of the barrier, attempting to dissolve the frozen nodes.

"Fire's Scorching, Burn!" The blazing flames scorched the chilling power contained within the restriction.

"Solid earth, stabilize!" The power of the earth element stabilized the restless energy beneath the barrier.

Wind, thunder, light, darkness, space... Lu Lingxi Yao used all the elements of spiritual power to perfection, each power acting precisely on different rune nodes, peeling away the layers of the restriction's defenses.

Nalan Rongzhi watched quietly from the side, his eyes showing not only vigilance but also a subtle hint of appreciation and tenderness.

"Nine-Tailed Fox, inject your bloodline power into the third rune node at the bottom left!" Lu Lingxi Yao shouted.

Di Lin transformed the power of his condensed bloodline into a seven-colored beam of light, which he precisely shot towards the node designated by Lu Lingxi.

"Om-"

The moment the power of bloodline came into contact with the restrictive runes, the entire ice restriction trembled violently, emitting a low hum, and ripples spread across the solid barrier of light.

"Continue, maintain resonance." Lu Lingxi Yao quickened her hand movements, guiding more elemental power out to coordinate with Di Lin's bloodline power.

"Crack...knock..."

Fine cracks began to appear on the barrier, spreading rapidly like a spider web. Finally, with a crisp cracking sound, the ice barrier covering the cave entrance, like a shattered mirror, turned into specks of ice and dissipated into the air.

"Success!" Di Lin's face lit up with joy.

"Be on high alert."

Nalan Rongzhi reminded him and took the lead in stepping into the cave entrance, followed closely by Lu Lingxi, Yao Yao and Di Lin.
