Ne Zha: The Spirit Pearl Guides the Lotus Heart

He roamed the nine heavens and forged a divine body. Master Taiyi stood atop the Glazed Pagoda on the Three Immortal Islands, gazing down at the figure taking shape on the lotus throne. Three years ago, Nezha had been given a body of lotus root. Now he was nearly grown, waiting only for his soul to return.

“Lingzhuzi, your path is destined to be fraught with hardships. In this life, you are destined for an extraordinary journey.” Master Taiyi sighed and swept a beam of golden light from his sleeve onto the lotus throne. In an instant, the lotus-root body blazed with radiance. The image of a divine being with three heads and six arms flickered into view, then settled back into the form of an ordinary young man.
