He stopped pestering the Black Tortoise, which also let the Black Tortoise breathe a sigh of relief!
But a trace of disappointment still flickered across his face.
Nu Wa noticed and, an idea arising in her heart, smiled and said:
"Wu Tian, don't you want to take on a disciple?"
"What's so difficult about that?"
As she spoke, Nu Wa gracefully extended her slender hand. A transparent spirit pearl appeared in her palm.
"This spirit pearl is something I obtained after the world was created. It belongs to the same category as the Innate Five Elements Spirit Pearls, except it has no elemental attributes..."
In other words, it was a spirit pearl without any attributes.
Within the transparent spirit pearl, wisps of something like black smoke suddenly appeared, then vanished in an instant!
Everyone frowned in puzzlement at the sight.
Nu Wa sighed as well and said:
"Unfortunately, this spirit pearl has been tainted by baleful energy..."
Perhaps it was precisely because of that trace of baleful energy that, after being nurtured in Empress Wa's Palace for a long time, the spirit pearl gave birth to a spark of sentience. Nu Wa named it Spirit Pearl Child.
Nu Wa opened her hand, and Spirit Pearl Child shot out with a whoosh.
It darted around everywhere!
Nu Wa continued:
"Now that the human race is facing a great calamity, I was thinking of sending this spirit pearl into the human race to be reincarnated as a human..."
"Wu Tian, are you willing to guide him onto the path of cultivation and become his teacher?"
How could Wu Tian possibly refuse?
He nodded without hesitation!
"I'm willing!"
"I'm willing!"
Nu Wa smiled and nodded, then glanced at Hong Yun.
With a wave of her hand, she sent out a streak of light.
