The Woman in White, Xiao Teng Finally Takes Form

The flawless white lotus transformed beneath the nourishment of spiritual energy, taking the form of a woman beyond worldly grace.

She wore a pure white dress, spotless as snow, its hem swaying gently in the wind. Her skin was fairer than snow, smooth and delicate like suet jade. Her features were exquisitely peerless, every inch of her seeming like a work of art painstakingly carved by Heaven itself.

Xiao Teng stared at her blankly. This woman's beauty seemed to transcend everything in the world. Even Nuwa, whom he had seen before, appeared somewhat inferior in comparison.

Her lively eyes resembled clear autumn waters, and with every glance, they seemed capable of ensnaring one's very soul.

Her feet were slender and white, as though carved from fine jade. She lightly tapped the void, like a dragonfly skimming the water, before drifting gracefully down to the ground.

Xiao Teng was by no means a frivolous, lustful man. His gaze was filled only with pure appreciation, as though he were admiring a rare treasure meticulously sculpted by nature's uncanny craftsmanship.

"Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on successfully taking form."

A trace of undisguised envy lingered in Xiao Teng's voice. He even secretly imagined that once he took form, he would surely become a dashing and handsome young man. Standing shoulder to shoulder with White Lotus, they would make a breathtakingly beautiful sight.

After taking form, White Lotus did not leave immediately.

Her realm had yet to stabilize, and she needed to cultivate in seclusion on Mount Buzhou for a while.

White Lotus had now stepped into the Early Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm. With her profound foundation and innate roots, attaining the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm was only a matter of time.

Xiao Teng suddenly hoped that he could successfully take form before White Lotus departed.

Thus, he focused wholeheartedly on absorbing spiritual energy.

At this time, the Primordial World had been turned upside down by the conflict among the Dragon-Phoenix-Qilin Tribes.

At first, the ancestors of the three tribes had entered this conflict largely against their will.

However, when their realms rose to Perfect Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, they realized that if they wished to break through their shackles and advance to a higher realm, they could only utterly defeat the other two tribes and become the one and only ruler of the Primordial World.

At once, they led their clans into this earth-shattering struggle for supremacy.

As the war grew increasingly intense, dense killing intent filled Heaven and Earth. That aura seemed almost tangible, eroding every inch of space and setting the fighting spirit of the three tribes ablaze like raging flames.

At this point, even those who wished to retreat had already sunk deep into the mire of slaughter, unable to pull themselves free. Their path of retreat had long been ruthlessly severed, and they could only stake everything on one desperate gamble for final victory.

Yet they had no idea that all three tribes would emerge as losers from this war.

Although the Calabash Kids had already reached the Late Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm, they were still no match for the top experts of the three tribes.

Therefore, Xiao Teng told them to stay far away from where the three tribes fought, lest they be dragged into it.

With Er Wa's divine ability, they could avoid danger in advance and find treasures.

What surprised Big Bear was Seventh Gourd's ability.

He himself possessed no particularly remarkable abilities, but the calabash in his hand was extraordinarily powerful.

Once anything was taken into the calabash, it could never come back out.

Although Xiao Teng warned them not to approach the three tribes, the seven Calabash Kids still often went to places where small-scale clashes broke out among them.

They quietly concealed themselves and waited patiently in the shadows.

Once both sides had fought until they were exhausted, they would swarm in and reap the fisherman's profit.

Along the way, they picked up quite a few treasures.

Si Wa even seized his chance when a fire phoenix had exhausted its strength and successfully snatched the Fire Spirit Pearl from its grasp.

With that, only the Wood Spirit Pearl remained to complete the Five-Element Spirit Pearls.

If they could gather all five Five-Element Spirit Pearls, it would be equivalent to gaining another top-grade spiritual treasure.

The flames of war among the three tribes burned ever fiercer, plunging the entire Primordial World into endless chaos. Mountains and rivers shattered, living beings suffered, the earth trembled, and the sky wept.

Seeing this miserable scene, Xiao Teng felt a surge of unease. For safety's sake, he had all the Calabash Kids return to Mount Buzhou.

With the Primordial Array guarding it, Mount Buzhou could still be considered safe.

When the transformed White Lotus appeared before the Calabash Kids, their eyes were filled with amazement and curiosity.

Seventh Gourd skipped over, his little face blooming with innocent delight, and shouted, "Big sister, you're so pretty!"

Xiao Teng corrected him, "What big sister? Call her auntie!"

White Lotus shot Xiao Teng a glance, then gently picked up Seventh Gourd.

She pinched Seventh Gourd's cheek. It was soft and squishy, and felt wonderfully good to pinch.

Seventh Gourd nestled comfortably in White Lotus's arms and said, "Big sister, your embrace is so comfortable."

Watching from the side, Xiao Teng could not help feeling a wave of envy.

If only I were Seventh Gourd.

Suddenly, an idea struck him, and he secretly rejoiced. Even if I can't become Seventh Gourd, I can use his perspective.

"Hehehe!"

After several long kalpas, Xiao Teng finally reached the crucial moment of taking form.

At that moment, he could clearly feel that the spiritual energy within him was no longer leaking away as it had in the past. Instead, it surged through his entire body like a rushing river.

The Calabash Vine began growing wildly, tender green leaves sprouting endlessly like bamboo shoots after spring rain.

The vine twisted and stretched, gradually transforming into a human shape.

A young and handsome man stood proudly there, dressed in a green robe adorned with seven-colored hues.

Though the robe shone brilliantly, it was neither ostentatious nor dazzling to the eye.

Xiao Teng looked at his brand-new appearance, unable to contain his excitement. He threw back his head and roared, "Hahaha! I've taken form!"

This cry echoed between Heaven and Earth, declaring that he had escaped the fate of being divided up and embarked upon a brand-new future.

At the moment Xiao Teng took form, Hongjun, far away in the west, faintly sensed something.

He performed a calculation with his fingers, yet calculated nothing at all.

A trace of foreboding suddenly rose in Hongjun's heart. He had already collected most of the Jade Butterfly of Creation. By all reason, there should have been nothing in the Primordial World that he could not calculate.

After fruitlessly calculating for a long while, he temporarily set the matter aside.

Following a thorough investigation, Hongjun finally discovered Luo Hou's earth-shattering plan.

At this time, Hongjun was preparing to persuade the other innate mighty beings to join forces against Luo Hou.

"Daddy, Daddy."

The Calabash Kids swarmed forward and surrounded Xiao Teng, chattering all at once, "Congratulations, Daddy, on taking form."

Looking at these adorable children, warmth welled up in Xiao Teng's heart, yet he also found the scene somewhat strange.

It was as though the sons had come first, and only then had I, their father, been born.

Xiao Teng turned and looked toward the Calabash Vine that had once nurtured the Calabash Kids. The once vibrant vine had now lost all life and vitality. Its tendrils had withered, and its leaves had fallen.

However, the Calabash Vine itself was an exceedingly rare treasure. Xiao Teng directly refined what remained of it into a long whip.
