The Cloud Glow Sect disciples' enthusiasm for cultivation grew by the day, and their strength increased ever faster.
Zhou Xue received considerable attention from the Limitless Immortal Sect, and she also had a master who wielded considerable influence within it.

She also gave Zhou Xue a jade talisman, telling her to use it only at a critical moment
