The Heavenly Tribulation Avatar calmly looked at the White Tiger and said, "I am the Heavenly Tribulation Daoist, in charge of the Heavenly Tribulation Punishments of the Primordial World, patrolling the Primordial World and judging sins. I see that you are in dire straits but remain unyielding and righteous, and that we are destined to meet. Would you be willing to become my disciple, follow me to travel the world, judge sins, and protect the Primordial World?" His voice was not loud, but it was like a great bell, striking the White Tiger's heart.

"Become...become a disciple?" The white tiger's massive body trembled violently. Due to its poor background and bloodline that was neither pure golden tiger nor pure white tiger, it had been treated coldly and lacked resources since childhood.

This training expedition nearly cost it its life, and now such a powerful figure is willing to take it as a disciple? This is an incredible opportunity that I never dared to dream of.

"Disciple...disciple White Tiger, willing, disciple is willing." Its voice trembled, and tears glistened in its huge tiger eyes.

The white tiger struggled to its feet, ignoring the excruciating pain from its wounds. With its forelimbs on the ground, it solemnly kowtowed nine times to the Heavenly Tribulation clone, each kowtow resounding loudly.

"Good." The Heavenly Tribulation clone nodded slightly, a faint look of satisfaction on its face.

"When you enter my sect, always remember to protect the primordial world. You must not destroy mountains or sever veins without cause, or harm the very foundation of heaven and earth. You must not slaughter living beings without cause, or accumulate karma. Otherwise, when heavenly calamity strikes, I will not spare you lightly."

"Disciple will obey Master's orders and will never forget them," the White Tiger roared excitedly. The Heavenly Tribulation clone flicked its finger, and two beams of spiritual light entered the White Tiger's brow.

"This is the supreme profound technique of 'Pangu Nine Revolutions' and the method for refining your 'natal immortal weapon.' Cultivate diligently and solidify your foundation. Once your cultivation has improved, I will impart other supernatural abilities to you."

After saying this, the Heavenly Tribulation clone sprinkled down a shower of life-giving rain that healed the White Tiger's injuries.

And so, the Heavenly Tribulation Avatar gained a loyal disciple, and the two continued their journey through the prehistoric world.

After that, the Heavenly Tribulation Avatar rescued a sea turtle in the extremely cold North Sea that was being ostracized by its own kind and struggling to survive under the glacier. The Heavenly Tribulation Avatar named it Xuanwu.

He rescued a blue sea serpent with mutated bloodline, which was regarded as a "hybrid" by the dragon clan, on the shore of the East China Sea. The Heavenly Tribulation clone named it Azure Dragon.

He took away a red bird abandoned by the Phoenix Clan because of its impure plumage from the edge of the immortal volcano on the southern continent. The Heavenly Tribulation clone named it Vermilion Bird.

Although these four disciples came from humble backgrounds, they all possessed extraordinary talent and unwavering character. Under the meticulous guidance of the Heavenly Tribulation Avatar and nurtured with abundant resources, their cultivation progressed rapidly.

Furthermore, because it is connected to the fortune of the Heavenly Tribulation Avatar, it enjoys part of the Heavenly Tribulation Great Dao fortune's protection.

It is foreseeable that when the four disciples grow up, they will become an indispensable and powerful force under the Heavenly Tribulation Avatar, and will be the four pillars that will protect the prehistoric world in the future.

In a secluded valley in the primordial wilderness, the Heavenly Tribulation Avatar sat cross-legged on a chaotic-colored stone. There were no earth-shattering phenomena around him, only a natural Daoist rhythm that seemed to blend into the surrounding mountains, rivers, vegetation, and withering and flourishing.

Below, the four disciples—White Tiger, Black Tortoise, Azure Dragon, and Vermilion Bird—are positioned in the east, south, west, and north directions, holding their breath and listening intently to their master's sermon.

The Heavenly Tribulation Avatar's preaching was not a rote recitation, but rather a teaching tailored to individual needs. His voice was not loud, yet it directly pointed to the origin of the Great Dao.

He started by discussing the four basic elements that constitute the world: earth, fire, feng shui, and so on, explaining their mutual generation and restraint, and their endless cycle.

This leads to the various fundamental principles that evolve from these four elements: the earth's capacity to bear, the fire's destruction and rebirth, the wind's transformation and propagation, and the rivers' nourishment and erosion. The four disciples, with their different backgrounds and natures, were all immersed in this and gained their own insights.

The White Tiger, representing metal and the element of slaughter, originally only knew how to display its sharpness. Upon hearing the words, "The wind has no form, yet it can transmit the benefits of Geng metal, accelerating the breaking through the void," its mind suddenly opened. The pair of small, decorative bone wings on its back involuntarily emitted sharp, azure whirlwinds. Borrowing the wind's power, its speed and sharpness more than doubled. It had actually grasped the basics of the Great Dao of Wind, and began to merge it with its own Dao of Metal.

Xuanwu, belonging to the water element and representing defense, is naturally inclined towards stillness. Upon hearing the saying, "Water is the softest, yet dripping water can wear away stone. The earth is the thickest, capable of bearing all streams," the innate Bagua patterns on its tortoise shell suddenly shone with a heavy, earthy-yellow light. From the earth beneath it, waves of powerful earth vein energy emanated, merging with the vast water element within its body to form a majestic aura that is both strong and gentle, as stable as Mount Tai. It had clearly grasped the profound mysteries of the Great Dao of Earth through analogy.

The Azure Dragon, belonging to the Wood element, symbolizes vitality and is brimming with life. Upon hearing the saying, "Wood withers without water, and water overflows without the nourishment of wood," drops of life-giving dew naturally condensed on its emerald scales. It was as if the abundant Wood energy within its body naturally attracted and gathered the water essence of heaven and earth. Its affinity for the Dao of Water was instantly activated.

The Vermilion Bird, of the fire element, is the master of destruction and possesses a violent nature. Upon hearing the saying, "Fire burns all things to ashes, yet from the ashes, new life can be born," the ever-burning Southern Bright Flame on its tail feathers unexpectedly became restrained and gentle. At the center of the flame, a faint, vibrant crimson light flickered. It seemed as if everything was about to be burned away, yet it also seemed to be preparing for the next rebirth. From the extreme of destruction, it glimpsed a trace of the profound mystery of the Great Dao of Nirvana.

The four fundamental principles of earth, fire, wind, and water quietly converged during the lectures of the five masters and disciples. Furthermore, they began to form a mysterious connection and resonance with the fundamental principles of the four disciples themselves.

The Heavenly Tribulation Avatar witnessed all of this, a barely perceptible hint of satisfaction flashing in its indifferent eyes.

A vague thought gradually became clear in the mind of the Heavenly Tribulation Avatar: "When the Four Symbols gather, they can stabilize the earth, fire, wind, and water, and solidify the universe. Perhaps when they first achieve their Great Dao, they can emulate the actions of Pangu, the Father God, who 'suppressed the world with the Four Symbols and supported the heavens,' using this supreme merit as the opportunity and foundation for their attainment of the Primordial Dao." A great opportunity and grand plan concerning the future path of the four disciples began to quietly brew in the mind of the Heavenly Tribulation Avatar.

Meanwhile, the primordial northern continent has undergone countless changes over millions of years. Today, the northern continent is no longer the devastated and malevolent place it was after the great calamity of the ferocious beasts.

Looking up, the sky was a clear, deep blue, dotted with auspicious clouds. The mountains on the earth rose and fell like dragons, lush and verdant, with endless innate spiritual roots, rare flowers and exotic herbs covering the mountains and fields, breathing in the pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Rivers and lakes flow like glistening jade ribbons, their misty spray nourishing all things.

The air was filled with the refreshing fragrance of grass and trees and the aroma of earth, and there was no trace of the violent, deathly stillness.

This earth-shaking miracle was created bit by bit by the twelve ancestral witches over hundreds of millions of years.
