• Da Wa killed the giant snake, crushed its head, and brought the Earth Spirit Pearl and other treasures back to Xiao Teng.
• Xiao Teng kept the Earth Spirit Pearl and used its earth spiritual energy to cultivate while Da Wa set out exploring again.
• After ten thousand years, Xiao Teng's attempt to take form was interrupted when the second gourd burst open and Er Wa appeared.
• Er Wa described seeing Da Wa fight a bear and asked to go out exploring, so Xiao Teng sent him off and instructed Da Wa to meet him.
• Er Wa used his Clairvoyance and Wind-Listening Ear to find treasures and avoid danger, while Da Wa fought through obstacles and secured the treasures they found.

Xiao Teng learned that the Primordial World was still before the Dragon-Han Tribulation, and Third Baby was born with an Indestructible Vajra Body. After Er Wa led the older siblings away to investigate treasures, Xiao Teng saw Hongjun and other powerful beings attacking Shen Ni and realized the calabashes needed to take human form before Hongjun's lectures began.

During the Beast Calamity, Xiao Teng and the Calabash Kids found a Twelfth-Rank Pure World White Lotus growing in Three Lights Divine Water on Mount Buzhou. Si Wa and Wu Wa later hatched and led the five older brothers to leave the mountain, while Xiao Teng discovered Liu Wa could vanish so completely that even he could barely sense him.

• Da Wa, Er Wa, and Third Baby found the Twelfth-Rank Pure World White Lotus in a hidden pool of Three Lights Divine Water, and Xiao Teng helped them collect the water and plant the lotus beside the Calabash Vine.

After leaving Mount Buzhou, the Calabash Kids defeated three dragons and traveled toward Phoenix Perch Mountain. There, they confronted a surviving fierce beast, and Third Baby and Da Wa struck the first blows before the battle continued.

• The Calabash Kids left Mount Buzhou and fought three Early Primordial Unity Golden Immortal dragons, killing them and destroying the evidence before heading northwest.
• The Calabash Kids traveled through the Primordial World, resolving several minor conflicts along the way.

• The Calabash Kids devised a battle plan, and Third Baby blocked the fierce beast's claw with his golden skin.
• Da Wa punched the fierce beast in the head, sending it crashing through the trees.

The Calabash Kids killed a ferocious beast and gained a small amount of Great Dao Merit before visiting Fuxi and Nuwa at Phoenix Perch Mountain. They left after Fuxi decided that he and Nuwa were not yet ready to venture beyond the mountain.

• The Calabash Kids worked together to restrain the ferocious beast, and Da Wa beheaded it with the Mountain-Splitting Axe.
• Each Calabash Kid received a small wisp of Great Dao Merit, and Xiao Teng told them to kill any ferocious beasts they encountered.
• Da Wa led his brothers to Phoenix Perch Mountain, where Fuxi initially refused them entry but opened the formation after Da Wa addressed him by name.
• Fuxi questioned how the visitors knew his identity, and Da Wa said their father had told him.
• Nuwa expressed interest in leaving the mountain, but Fuxi calculated that the time was not right, so Da Wa led the Calabash Kids away.

The Calabash Kids searched Mount Kongtong for a hidden treasure, then settled there and built Gourd Palace as their new Dao sanctuary. As the palace was completed, Liu Wa took form and joined Xiao Teng.

• Er Wa spotted a treasure's radiance on Mount Kongtong, but the Calabash Kids could not find it despite searching the mountain.

• Liu Wa emerged from the sixth calabash, playfully circled Xiao Teng, and greeted him as Father.

The Calabash Kids left Mount Kongtong to seek out surviving ferocious beasts in the north, where they encountered a powerful opponent. They wounded the beast and launched a coordinated attack, but the battle continued.

• Si Wa and Wu Wa cloaked the beast in mist, allowing Third Baby to pierce one of its eyes with the Vajra Soul-Piercing Spear.
• Da Wa called for the brothers to attack together as the wounded beast swung blindly at them.

The Calabash Kids traveled north, found the Gold Spirit Pearl, and followed Wu Wa’s sense of attraction into the North Sea. Wu Wa descended alone into a trench of Heavy Water and spotted what might be the Profound Origin Water-Control Banner, then prepared to try to obtain it.

• Da Wa and Third Baby killed a powerful beast, and Great Dao Merit descended upon the five Calabash Kids.
• The Calabash Kids found the Gold Spirit Pearl, which Xiao Teng suggested giving to Third Baby.
• After reaching the North Sea, Wu Wa sensed something drawing him into its depths, so the group flew out over the sea to investigate.
• Da Wa and Wu Wa dived down together, but Da Wa stopped when the pressure became too much, and Wu Wa continued alone.
• Wu Wa reached a trench filled with Heavy Water and saw a dark banner that Xiao Teng suspected was the Profound Origin Water-Control Banner.
• Wu Wa told Xiao Teng he would try to obtain the banner despite the danger.

Wu Wa obtained the Profound Origin Water-Control Banner from the Heavy Water, but Kunpeng ambushed him and stole it. The Calabash Kids tracked Kunpeng down and trapped him in a Heavy Water prison, where he struggled to survive and considered giving up the banner.

• Wu Wa endured the Heavy Water, reached the Profound Origin Water-Control Banner, and claimed it.
• Kunpeng struck Wu Wa and escaped with the banner, prompting the Calabash Kids to pursue him.

• Wu Wa attacked Kunpeng with the currents while Da Wa restrained his tail and Third Baby wounded him with a spear.
• Kunpeng transformed into a giant bird to flee, but Si Wa burned him and Wu Wa sealed him inside a Heavy Water prison.

• Kunpeng threatened to self-destruct, but Xiao Teng ordered the Calabash Kids to make him hand over the Profound Origin Water-Control Banner and let him escape.

• The Calabash Kids traveled east, defeated Taiyi Golden Immortal ferocious beasts, found several treasures, and returned to Mount Buzhou after one yuanhui.
• Xiao Teng discovered dense Primal Chaos Qi inside Seventh Gourd and realized it was preventing him from taking form.
• Xiao Teng proposed transferring Seventh Gourd’s true spirit into a new body and molded a clay Calabash Kid from Xirang Divine Soil and Three Lights Divine Water, but the result looked crooked and uneven.

After a kalpa of studying the Creation Great Dao, Xiao Teng formed a body for Seventh Gourd, who took form and received the Primordial Chaos Treasure Gourd. The Calabash Kids left Mount Buzhou to seek treasures, and the Pure World White Lotus began taking form beside Xiao Teng.

• Luo Hou secretly stirred up conflict among the Dragon-Phoenix-Qilin Tribes, triggering the Dragon-Han Tribulation across the Primordial World.
• After crossing the threshold of the Creation Great Dao, Xiao Teng molded a body from Three Lights Divine Water and Xirang Divine Soil and summoned Seventh Gourd into it.

• Da Wa led the Calabash Kids away from Mount Buzhou to search for treasures, leaving Xiao Teng alone with the Pure World White Lotus.
• The Pure World White Lotus drew in spiritual energy, bloomed, and began to take form.

White Lotus stabilized after taking human form while Xiao Teng and the Calabash Kids navigated the chaos of the tribal war from Mount Buzhou. Xiao Teng finally took human form, drawing a faint, unexplained reaction from Hongjun as he prepared to oppose Luo Hou.

• White Lotus took human form and remained on Mount Buzhou to stabilize her Early Primordial Unity Golden Immortal cultivation.
• The Calabash Kids secretly scavenged battlefields between the three tribes, and Si Wa stole the Fire Spirit Pearl from an exhausted Fire Phoenix.
• As the war intensified, Xiao Teng recalled the Calabash Kids to Mount Buzhou, where White Lotus met them and held Seventh Gourd.
• After several eras of cultivation, Xiao Teng took human form as a handsome young man in a green robe, and the Calabash Kids congratulated him.
• Hongjun sensed Xiao Teng's transformation but could not calculate its cause; after discovering Luo Hou's plan, he prepared to rally the innate great powers against him.
• Xiao Teng saw that the Calabash Vine had withered after producing the Calabash Kids and refined it into a long whip.

Xiao Teng named his new treasure the God-Striking Whip and studied divine abilities while staying on Mount Buzhou with White Lotus. He witnessed Hongjun defeat Luo Hou, ambush his allies through his Three Corpses, and merge with the Heavenly Dao as the three clans’ war neared its end.

• Xiao Teng named the long whip the God-Striking Whip, tested its power, and then stabilized his newly formed body.

After the three clans withdrew from the world, Xiao Teng moved with the Calabash Kids from Mount Buzhou to Mount Kongtong and established a new home there. The kids later set out to explore, while Xiao Teng stayed behind to cultivate and search for the Kongtong Seal.

• The three clans retreated to their territories as their fortunes collapsed; First Qilin sacrificed his cultivation and became Qilin Cliff to protect the surviving Qilin.
• Xiao Teng left Mount Buzhou with the Calabash Kids, while White Lotus chose to travel alone and promised she might visit them at Mount Kongtong.
• After flying for ten thousand years, Xiao Teng and the Calabash Kids found innate living beings occupying Mount Kongtong and fought them for control.
• Xiao Teng allowed the newcomers to live on the smaller peaks, then protected the main peak with a grand array centered on the Profound Origin Water-Control Banner.
• Xiao Teng agreed to let the seven Calabash Kids travel through the Primordial World, but his search for the Kongtong Seal on the mountain found nothing.

After a ten-thousand-year journey through the Primordial World, Xiao Teng watched a battle between the Three Pure Ones and the Golden Crow brothers before sensing the Calabash Kids nearby. He found them fleeing Qilin Cliff with Daluo Golden Immortals of the Qilin Clan in pursuit.

• Xiao Teng left Mount Kongtong to travel and seek an opportunity to break through his cultivation bottleneck.
• After searching for Fuxi and Nuwa at Phoenix Perch Mountain, Xiao Teng spent ten thousand years crossing the Primordial World and gathering several treasures.

• Da Wa warned Xiao Teng to run as Daluo Golden Immortals of the Qilin Clan chased the Calabash Kids.
• Third Baby admitted they had tried to borrow the Qilin Clan's treasures, while Si Wa said she had taken one of their flags.

After stealing the Wuji Apricot-Yellow Banner from the Qilin Clan, Xiao Teng and the Calabash Kids fled to the Phoenix Clan’s territory, where Di Jun and Taiyi were fighting.

• Yuanfeng sensed an intruder and unleashed her pressure, exposing Liu Wa; Xiao Teng led the Calabash Kids into the Phoenix Clan to reach him.
• Xiao Teng confronted an Ice Phoenix, which attacked him with a storm of sharp ice spikes.

Liu Wa returned with the Earth-Leaving Flame-Light Banner and Yuanfeng’s two eggs, provoking Yuanfeng’s furious attack before Xiao Teng and the Calabash Kids escaped. After assigning Si Wa to care for the eggs, Xiao Teng decided they would seek the Azure Lotus Treasure-Colored Banner next.

• Xiao Teng and the Calabash Kids trapped the Ice Phoenix in the Primal Chaos Gourd, but Yuanfeng’s spiritual image appeared and demanded her stolen belongings back.
• Liu Wa rejoined the group with the Earth-Leaving Flame-Light Banner and revealed that he had also taken two eggs, which Xiao Teng recognized as Yuanfeng’s Roc and Peacock children.
• The Calabash Kids formed the Seven-Colored Primordial Unity Heavenly Dipper Formation to withstand Yuanfeng’s attack, then escaped while she refrained from appearing in person and risking the heavenly tribulation.
• Xiao Teng assigned Si Wa to carry and hatch the eggs, scolded the Calabash Kids for taking such a risk, and announced their next goal was the Azure Lotus Treasure-Colored Banner.
