The entire sect is obsessed with love, but I'm the only one who's truly insane.

The so-called secret realm could be either the former residence or grotto of a powerful being, or another degenerated or newly born small world that was accidentally discovered by cultivators because of the intersection of spacetime and time with this world of Zhongzhou.

This secret realm is a small, degenerated, and collapsed world.

After Lin Du stepped into the boundary gate, everything went black. When he opened his eyes again, all he saw was a desolate desert with withered trees.

There was no one else around.

Lin Du has a good memory, but she still took out the ancestral map and glanced at it.

Very well, the Heavenly Dao of this collapsed little world threw her into the most vast endless desert. It is called endless because this desert occupies nearly a third of the area of ​​this little world. Shifting sands and sandstorms are common. Most importantly, no one has ever really explored what is in this desert.

Because of its extreme desolation, legend has it that some people have been trapped in the desert for seven days without ever leaving. Therefore, the map is marked with a circle of doubt and a question mark, along with a line of small print: whoever completes the map will receive a surprise!

She gave a cold laugh, feeling like she wanted to kill someone.

"You translate this for me, what the hell do you mean by 'surprise'?"

At that moment, the system popped up.

[Host, Du Shao and her fiancé are also in the secret realm this time. There's only 10% left. Completing the mission should completely heal your lungs and internal organs.]

Lin Du lowered his eyes, a mocking smile playing on his lips, but in an instant, a fan appeared in his drooping hand.

With a whoosh, the heavy iron folding fan suddenly unfolded, revealing a gleam of snow.

"They say the world changes like the sea turning into mulberry fields. The Sahara Desert used to be a sea. System, do you think I could just turn this into the Ice Age?"

She looked up. "I also want to see how big my life can be."

The system sensed something was wrong.

Something's wrong with the host. Could it be that this host has gone crazy from studying like a graduate student in the cultivation world?

That's not impossible.

Lin Du sensed the system's intentions.

Although the system seemed to exist almost non-existent for a long time, for some reason, she could sense the system's thoughts even when it didn't speak.

Rather than saying she was implanted with a system, it would be more accurate to say that their minds were inherently connected.

"Everyone goes crazy eventually, I'm just putting on a brave face."

She uttered those words softly, and then her spiritual energy surged forth, flowing wildly from her dantian, along her meridians, to her palms, and then being poured into Fusheng.

The fan drew a dazzling arc in the air before disappearing into the dust and smoke.

A faint sound of icing filled the air.

The menacing quicksand, along with the dust-laden winds, was quickly frozen, covered with a fine layer of icy white frost.

The young man in the blue robe and white fox fur closed his folding fan, calmly watching the rapidly advancing frost, and then moved.

This is her world, meaning she can certainly appear in any area.

Under the watchful eye of the heavens, this scene was laid bare.

The room was filled with the sound of gasps.

They weren't unfamiliar with ice spirit roots; Lin Du's master was rumored in the cultivation world to be able to freeze the entire Central Continent with a single sword strike. But for a thirteen-year-old child to so casually raise her hand and freeze something at least three zhang away, that talent was truly terrifying.

It should be noted that for ordinary sword cultivators with a Qin-like mindset, even wielding sword energy three feet is considered a sign of talent.

They had all seen the disdain the disciples outside showed when they first met Lin Du. If someone were to witness it now, they would surely understand what it meant to be number one in talent.

Heaven never misjudges a child's talent, because that talent is innate and nurtured by nature.

Someone sighed softly, "It's truly enviable. I've studied swordsmanship for three hundred years, and my sword energy might not even be this far."

It makes people jealous, and even the heavens are jealous.

Ju Yuan tried to salvage the situation, saying, "It's probably because of the spiritual treasures. After all, our Supreme Sect is poor and can only give each child one spiritual treasure for protection."

The leaders of several minor sects exchanged glances. "Listen to this, is this even human language?"

It's better not to explain.

Everyone knows that although the Supreme Sect consumes cultivation resources rapidly, it also gathers them rapidly; otherwise, how could it have produced such infuriating geniuses?

They didn't dare to snatch it. First, spiritual treasures are selective, so even if they were snatched, they might not be useful. Second, anyone who dared to snatch something from the Supreme Sect was truly asking for trouble.

After beating the young, the old ones come; they'll wipe out your entire nest.

Lin Du found this fleeting life somewhat interesting; wherever she moved, the frost would extend further.

So when she passed by the two people whose feet were frozen, she felt a little guilty.

But once she saw his face clearly, her sense of guilt vanished.

What's frozen isn't a person, it's scum.

Scumbags are probably best left alone.

Lin Du asked the system, "This guy isn't very talented, how did he get here? I remember small sects only have one or two spots at most."

How else could we get through this?

Lin Du understood immediately; it turned out that she had already climbed up to the sect leader's daughter.

She was about to leave without blinking when someone called her back.

"Lin Du, are you Lin Du?"

Lin Du paused, his gaze falling on the woman not far from the scumbag. "I'm not."

……

The woman spoke up, "My name is Ni Si, and my father is the head of the Hongzhen Sect."

"Oh, my father was a wandering ghost."

Lin Du lifted her foot and continued walking. She moved silently, and even the wind was still. The only sound was the ice condensing as it continued to freeze forward and upward.

The voice sounded pleasant to Lin Du, but to the two of them it was nothing short of a death warrant.

"Fellow Daoist Lin Du, I know you are the most talented in Zhongzhou. You are not affected by this strange frost. You must have a way to save us, right? I can't move right now."

Ni Si hurriedly tried to call out to her.

Lin Du turned his head. "You can't move? This ice is thinner than the sugar coating on my candied hawthorns, and you can't move?"

Her words were purely questioning, as if she were asking a question she couldn't understand at all.

Ni Si fell silent. She couldn't very well say it was because she was too incompetent. Her feet were frozen solid, and even if she used her spiritual power to free them, she would freeze again before she could even take out her flying artifact.

Moreover, the ice didn't just start from the feet; strangely enough, as long as it was in this area, the ice seemed to keep growing until it froze everything.

It was so cold that her meridians felt sluggish and she was frozen stiff.

This is clearly a desert, so how can there be ice and snow?

"Please, fellow Daoist, save my life! I, Ni Si, will repay you handsomely."

Ni Si was one of the cultivators who was initially impressed by Lin Du's appearance, but she looked down on his frail appearance. However, she didn't expect that this number one talent was indeed quite something.

Lin Du didn't answer her question. Instead, he asked her a question, "I have a question. Everyone who enters the boundary gate is randomly teleported. Although the Heavenly Dao rules in this secret realm have collapsed, it shouldn't be impossible to separate two people. How did you two end up together?"

They've only been here for about half a cup of tea's time. The fact that they've managed to get together means either Heaven is truly courting death, or they have some kind of magic trick up their sleeves.

Ni Si was taken aback, not expecting Lin Du's focus to be so off-topic.

"It was made from the seeds of a twin lotus. We took it together, and even the heavens could not separate us."

Lin Du let out a long "oh" and looked at Li Dong.

She had exceptionally beautiful features, with perfectly sharp brow bones, thick, jet-black eyebrows, and eyelids without a single blemish. Her double eyelids were long and deep, pointing downwards, while her eyes themselves were slightly upturned, giving her a melancholic and subdued look.

Lin Du still had his back to them, but turned around and stared at the somewhat stiff young man. He chuckled and repeated, "So it's a twin lotus. I thought the last sentence meant a love knot."
