The Calabash Kids' Separate Daos, Setting Out Once More

"Sixth Brother, are you leaving too?" Seventh Gourd's voice came from the Calabash Vine, carrying a trace of loneliness and desolation.

He looked at Liu Wa, his eyes full of reluctance. Now that Sixth Brother was leaving too, he felt unbearably miserable.

"Liu Wa, you should stay and keep Seventh Gourd company for now. Once Seventh Gourd takes form, the two of you can head out together and look after each other."

Seeing Seventh Gourd's lonely appearance, Xiao Teng felt somewhat reluctant to part with him and gently said to Liu Wa.

"Alright." Though Liu Wa felt somewhat disappointed, he readily agreed.

He knew Seventh Gourd would be lonely here by himself. As his older brother, he had a responsibility to keep him company.

"White Lotus, don't you think my children are adorable?" Xiao Teng turned toward the Pure World White Lotus in the nearby pool, a proud smile on his face.

For some unknown reason, perhaps influenced by Xiao Teng's special aura, the Pure World White Lotus had actually developed spiritual intelligence as well.

The Pure World White Lotus slightly raised its head and glanced at Xiao Teng, with no intention of speaking to him.

Seeing that White Lotus ignored him, Xiao Teng continued, "Don't be so cold. We'll be living together here for quite some time yet. At the very least, we'll have to endure a couple of kalpas together."

When White Lotus still refused to respond, Xiao Teng changed the subject. "Can you take form? If, after taking form, your personality is as your name suggests and you turn out to be some white lotus flower, that would be truly miserable."

White Lotus did not quite understand what Xiao Teng meant by "white lotus flower," but it could tell it was not anything nice.

Xiao Teng failed to get a response and did not force the conversation any further.

His eyes rolled, and he quietly extended his roots into the pool, secretly absorbing the Three Lights Divine Water.

The Pure World White Lotus noticed his little trick and unceremoniously kicked him out with its roots.

Xiao Teng said, "Ah, this Three Lights Divine Water truly is delicious."

Xiao Teng had Three Lights Divine Water himself, since the Calabash Kids had brought back quite a bit. But drinking it after sneaking it from someone else just felt different.

Pah, what a cheap thrill!

After the palace was built, the Calabash Kids settled down on Mount Kongtong.

Xiao Teng told them not to run around for the time being.

The Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, and Qilin were flourishing now, their presence spread across nearly the entire Primordial World. Offending them would be troublesome, so avoiding them was the best choice.

After entering the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm, the Calabash Kids each embarked on their own path in pursuit of the Great Dao.

Da Wa pursued the Great Dao of Strength, using one force to shatter ten thousand laws; Er Wa pursued the Great Dao of Insight, seeing all and knowing all; Third Baby pursued the Great Dao of Immortality, indestructible as vajra, eternal and undying.

Si Wa comprehended the Great Dao of Fire; Wu Wa comprehended the Great Dao of Water; Liu Wa comprehended the Great Dao of Shadow, shadowless and formless.

Other than Seventh Gourd, who had yet to take form, the Calabash Kids had each set foot upon different Great Daos.

Xiao Teng had thought the Calabash Kids would remain on Mount Kongtong for a while longer and cultivate in peace.

Yet, before long, they could no longer suppress the restlessness in their hearts and wanted to venture out.

Though Xiao Teng did not particularly want them to leave, he could not resist the five brothers and eventually agreed.

"If only I could go with my brothers too," Liu Wa said enviously.

"Sixth Brother, I'm sorry," Seventh Gourd said.

"It's alright. I chose to stay with you."

"Don't worry. It won't be long before Seventh Gourd can take form," Xiao Teng said.

Xiao Teng poured all his spiritual power into Seventh Gourd. He believed Seventh Gourd could take form in the shortest possible time.

After the five Calabash Kids left Mount Kongtong, they flew north.

This time, they were heading for the surviving ferocious beasts.

West of Mount Buzhou was Qilin territory, south of Mount Buzhou was Phoenix Clan territory, while the Dragon Clan occupied the Four Seas.

The only places they could go were east and north of Mount Buzhou.

To go east, they would have to cross Mount Buzhou, which was simply too far away, so they headed north.

There were few living beings in the north, and almost no outsiders entered it.

That was because the north had once been a place occupied by ferocious beasts. It had suffered devastating destruction during the Beast Calamity. Blessed grotto-heavens and sacred lands had shattered, and spiritual energy was scarce.

The north's spiritual energy was thin and desolate, while the traces of the ferocious beasts' past rampage remained clearly visible.

"This place looks gloomy. Stay alert, everyone," Da Wa said to his younger brothers.

Er Wa vigilantly swept his gaze across their surroundings. If there was any danger, he would know immediately.

There were indeed far more ferocious beasts in the north. Along the way, they encountered several Golden Immortal ferocious beasts.

However, those ferocious beasts were too weak. Any one of them could fight one alone, so there was little worth fighting over.

Only when a Late Primordial Unity Golden Immortal ferocious beast appeared before them did the Calabash Kids' expressions turn solemn.

"This fellow won't be easy to deal with. We must be careful," Da Wa warned.

After this period of tempering, Da Wa had become everyone's pillar.

Though the ferocious beast was somewhat dangerous, they had finally encountered a powerful opponent. How could they possibly give up so easily?

"Form the formation!"

The Calabash Kids swiftly assumed the formation they had carefully practiced before.

Da Wa and Third Baby handled close-range attacks, Si Wa and Wu Wa harassed and attacked from afar, while Er Wa provided support.

The Calabash Kids were linked in heart and mind. Their coordination was exceptionally good.

"Big Brother, watch out!" Third Baby used his golden body to block the ferocious beast's claw, but the immense force still knocked him to the ground.

"Third Brother!" Da Wa was furious at the sight.

Seizing the moment, he circled behind the ferocious beast, wrapped both arms tightly around one of its legs, and shouted.

"Up you go!"

Da Wa exerted all his strength and threw it over his shoulder. With a thunderous bang, the ferocious beast crashed heavily onto the ground.

Amid the fierce battle, Er Wa focused completely, his eyes fixed on every movement the ferocious beast made, not letting a single detail escape him.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up as he discovered the ferocious beast's weakness.

He immediately shouted, "Third Brother, attack its eyes!"

Hearing the order, Third Baby leaped into the air and charged at the ferocious beast's eyes alongside Da Wa.

Si Wa and Wu Wa immediately understood. They promptly cast their arts, gathering the powers of water and fire together.

In an instant, dense mist spread out, tightly shrouding the surroundings.

The ferocious beast was immediately trapped within the fog, its vision obstructed.

It angrily shook its head, searching everywhere for its enemies.

At that moment, Third Baby wielded the High-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure, the Vajra Soul-Piercing Spear, and burst fiercely from the mist, thrusting at the ferocious beast's eye like a bolt of lightning.

"Awoo!" The ferocious beast let out a pained howl as one of its eyes was pierced.

It clutched its eye and struggled madly.

"Now, brothers, get it together!" Da Wa shouted.

The Calabash Kids each brought out their magical treasures, attacking the ferocious beast from all directions.

With only one eye remaining, the ferocious beast's vision was blurred. Faced with the small, nimble Calabash Kids, it found it difficult to catch their traces for a time and could only blindly wave its claws.
