Xiao Teng wanted to know how much time he still had before he could take form.

So he sent a voice transmission to Er Wa. "Er Wa, use your Clairvoyance at once and see what the Primordial World looks like now."

Er Wa obediently replied, "Okay, Daddy."

With that, Er Wa focused his mind and gathered his strength. Power surged around him as his Clairvoyance divine ability activated in an instant.

Stars seemed to shimmer within his eyes. As light flashed forth, everything in the Primordial World slowly unfurled like a painted scroll, entering his sight one by one.

Through Er Wa's vision, Xiao Teng saw the state of the Primordial World.

Upon the lands of the Primordial World, the dragon, phoenix, and qilin clans had already appeared, their numbers growing at an astonishing rate.

Xiao Teng observed carefully and found that there was not yet any tense, sword-drawn atmosphere between them. He let out a slight breath of relief.

Then his gaze continued to search, but he found no trace of the human race, nor any sign of the Shaman Race or Demon Race.

It seemed that the present time was before the Dragon-Han Tribulation.

And the time when he would be dismembered should be around Hongjun's first or second sermon.

By then, the Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation would have already passed, while the Shaman-Demon Tribulation was about to begin. By that reckoning, he still had some time.

At that thought, Xiao Teng let out a long breath. Fortunately, there was still enough time for him to take form.

At that moment, Er Wa's voice, brimming with curiosity and longing, reached him. "Daddy, the world outside Mount Buzhou looks so exciting. I want to go out and take a look."

Without hesitation, Xiao Teng refused. "No!"

"The world beyond Mount Buzhou is fraught with danger, far beyond what you can handle now. Until your cultivation breaks through to the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm, you are absolutely forbidden from stepping outside Mount Buzhou."

Although Mount Buzhou also contained many living beings, their strength was not particularly great, and most had gentle temperaments.

If they encountered an enemy, Er Wa and Da Wa joining forces would generally be enough to deal with it.

But once they left Mount Buzhou, with its sheltering power, dangers would lurk at every turn, impossible to predict.

In the current Primordial World, the most unruly and dangerous beings were the ferocious beasts.

They had absorbed the Killing Intent left behind after the creation of heaven and earth. Each was incomparably savage, having nearly lost all reason and acting purely on instinct.

Their combat strength was even more terrifying. Even the mighty dragon, phoenix, and qilin clans did not dare provoke them lightly, often choosing to take a detour.

What was more, the Primordial World contained reincarnations of the Chaos Demon Gods. Danger was everywhere, and Xiao Teng did not dare let them venture out.

Xiao Teng was also secretly glad that he had a place to settle within Mount Buzhou. Cultivating here was peaceful, free from disturbance.

Da Wa and Er Wa explored all around Mount Buzhou, and their days were quite fulfilling. Once they grew tired from playing outside, they returned to Xiao Teng's side.

On the cliff beside the Calabash Vine, they built a house.

The house had been constructed entirely according to Xiao Teng's instructions, and its appearance somewhat resembled the flat-roofed houses of later generations.

The materials used for the house were exceptionally hard stones and wood taken from within Mount Buzhou. They were so tough that ordinary methods could not process them; only top-grade innate spiritual treasures could cut them down.

Time drifted onward, and Xiao Teng discovered that the moment for taking form had arrived again.

But this time, he was very calm, because he knew it was not he who was about to take form—one of his children was.

Sure enough, before long, the spiritual energy within his body seemed drawn by some force and madly surged toward the third calabash.

A deafening boom rang out, like the thunderous roar from when heaven and earth first opened. Third Baby was born.

Third Baby shouted excitedly, "Daddy, Daddy, I'm out!"

Filled with curiosity and excitement, he bounced about, only to accidentally slam his body into a massive boulder beside him.

That enormous boulder, like a small hill, instantly shattered into pieces beneath Third Baby's seemingly casual collision, turning into countless fragments scattered across the ground.

Seeing this, Xiao Teng knew that it was Third Baby's divine ability—the Indestructible Vajra Body.

His Indestructible Vajra Body was extremely formidable. No matter what kind of magical treasure it was, it would be difficult for it to harm him.

Da Wa swung the Geng Metal Mountain-Splitting Axe at Third Baby with all his strength, yet failed to leave even the slightest mark on him. This showed just how powerful his defense was.

Da Wa now handled offense, Third Baby handled defense, and Third Baby also possessed detection abilities. If the three of them joined forces, even if a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal came in person, they would likely find it difficult to defeat them.

Days passed one by one, and Xiao Teng delightedly discovered that Da Wa's realm had already risen to Late Golden Immortal.

What surprised him even more was that Er Wa and Third Baby had also reached Late Golden Immortal at the same time.

He carefully studied the children and discovered that their realm advancements were actually synchronized.

Moreover, the more calabashes that took form, the faster their cultivation speed became.

If that was truly the case, then once all seven Calabash Babies were born and cultivated together, would their cultivation speed not become unimaginably fast?

At that thought, Xiao Teng's heart filled with anticipation.

Perhaps by then, even if he did not take form, his children would be able to resist the great powers who came to divide the calabashes.

"Daddy, I found several extremely good treasures. I plan to take Big Brother and Third Brother out to investigate them." Er Wa's voice interrupted Xiao Teng's thoughts.

Xiao Teng pondered briefly, then finally nodded in agreement. "You must be cautious on this journey. Do not let your guard down."

"Yes, Daddy."

After Er Wa took Da Wa and Third Baby away, Xiao Teng continued to immerse himself in cultivation.

He also knew that, given the current situation, he was afraid he would find it difficult to successfully take form before the calabashes did.

So he directly passed all of his cultivation gains to the remaining calabashes, helping them take form as soon as possible.

Not long after Da Wa and the others left Mount Buzhou, the heavens and earth of the Primordial World suddenly began to shake violently.

The tremors were like heaven collapsing and earth splitting apart, as the entire Primordial World was shaken by that tremendous force.

Xiao Teng was startled. He immediately used his mana to contact Er Wa. "Er Wa, quickly look and see what has happened!"

Er Wa did as told and activated Clairvoyance.

Following Er Wa's gaze, Xiao Teng saw several powerful figures radiating endless pressure surrounding an enormous ferocious beast.

The beast was as huge as a mountain, radiating dense Killing Intent. It was none other than the Beast God, Shen Ni.

Among those surrounding and attacking Shen Ni, Xiao Teng recognized Hongjun at a glance.

Hongjun's expression was cold and stern, divine power swirling around him. Together with several other powerful innate deities, he launched a fierce campaign against Shen Ni.

"Daddy, my eyes hurt so much!" Er Wa suddenly cried out in pain.

He closed his eyes, and the vision vanished along with them.

Xiao Teng's heart tightened. He knew that the combatants were far too powerful. Although Er Wa's Clairvoyance was strong, it still could not withstand the impact of such overwhelming power.

He hurriedly comforted him. "Er Wa, do not force yourself. Quickly find a place and get some proper rest."

Xiao Teng understood that he simply could not interfere in a battle of this level. His current strength was as insignificant as an ant before these mighty beings. He could only pray silently that the battle would end soon.

Once Shen Ni died, the ferocious beast race would likely be slaughtered to the last.

When that happened, it would not be long before the dragon, phoenix, and qilin clans became the new protagonists of the Primordial World.

That also meant that Hongjun's sermons were not far away. Though several aeons sounded exceedingly long, to innate beings like Xiao Teng, they would pass in the blink of an eye.

He had to seize this final stretch of time and let the calabashes take form as quickly as possible.
