Zhou Family Juniors

Back in the Cultivation World of the Northern Court Continent, in order to evade Yu Long Xingyu's pursuit, Zhou Yang had specifically asked Nie Yushuang to vouch for him and borrowed a special artifact, the Kongxuan Pearl, from a major sect there, agreeing to return it after three hundred years.

Now that Yu Long Xingyu had already fallen and more than half of the three-hundred-year agreement had passed, there was no need for Zhou Yang to keep the item on him any longer.

But if he made the trip solely to return one item, he would be wasting several years on the road. That was rather uneconomical.

Thus, after hearing his Dao companion Xiao Ying mention that her disciple Lu Xuewei was preparing to form her Nascent Soul, he had this idea: he would have Lu Xuewei return the Kongxuan Pearl in his stead, then attempt her breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm in the Cultivation World of the Northern Court Continent, where the environment suited her best.

Of course, considering the great distance involved and the need to cross the incomparably dangerous Boundless Snow Plain, he naturally would not let Lu Xuewei travel alone. Instead, he arranged for the Water-Repelling Golden-Eyed Beast, which had traveled that route before, to escort her.

Lu Xuewei's cultivation technique was exceptionally suited for traveling and surviving in a place like the Boundless Snow Plain. With Bi'er, a Sixth-Rank Demon King, accompanying and protecting her, even if they encountered another Sixth-Rank Demon King, she would still have a strong chance of escaping alive.

This could also be considered a trial for Zhou Yang's disciple.

What gratified Zhou Yang was that Lu Xuewei showed no dissatisfaction or resistance toward this trial he had arranged. Instead, she decisively accepted the task on the spot.

"Very good.
