79 - Five Pillars of the World

I WOULD LIKE TO WISH YOU A HAPPY EID AL-FITR 1 SHAWAL 1442 H. MINAL AIDIN WAL FAIZIN. SORRY TO BE BORN AND TO THE MIND.

"Huh.", Han Liangyi let out a long breath. He looked at Liu Chen seriously. "All right, I'll say it. Anyway, I should have told you this"

"But we better not talk here" Han Liangyi continued.

Liu Chen's sight suddenly instantly changed. He wasn't in the corridor. But now it is in a strange place. The floor is like glass. While the sky or other parts are white. In front of him was Han Liangyi.

"Who are you really? And where are we?" said Liu Chen.

"This is my little world" Han Liangyi said.

Suddenly, in front of Liu Chen appeared a small table that was not too high.

"We chatted while sitting down" Han Liangyi said. He invited Liu Chen to sit down.

Liu Chen followed and sat down. While across the table was Han Liangyi sitting opposite to him.

Han Liangyi immediately took out an urn and two cups. He immediately poured the wine in the urn into two cups on the table. Afterwards, he thrust one at Liu Chen. "This is the best wine I have"

"I'm sorry I didn't drink" Liu Chen said.

"Alright, then what if this was it?", Han Liangyi took out another cup that appeared to be filled with white water. But this cup looks a little different.

Liu Chen's eyes twitched, "I'm not a child anymore! Also, how could you have prepared milk in a cup like this? But I don't think this looks like a regular cup"

"Yes, this is not a cup. This is a cat food container. I used to give milk to that cat in your base. So I've been providing milk in containers like this"

Liu Chen looked at Han Liangyi in annoyance, "You think I'm a cat, HUH?! If it's a container and a cat drink, why did you give it to me?!"

"out of.. I have no other drinks" said the innocent-looking Han Liangyi.

"No need, you just keep the milk for the cat. I don't need it", Liu Chen annoyed.

"Well.. Alright", Han Liangyi re-inserted the container for cat food into her space ring. He immediately drank his wine.

Liu Chen breathed out softly. He looked at Han Liangyi seriously, "Who are you really?"

Han Liangyi placed his wine cup onto the table. He looked at Liu Chen, "Not me. But who are we"

Liu Chen frowned. "What do you mean?"

Han Liangyi flicked his finger and instantly, there was a puff of smoke appearing and condensing behind Han Liangyi.

When the smoke started to dissipate, Liu Chen was surprised to see what was in front of him at this moment. He does not believe in his vision now. He pinched his cheek and felt that this was not a dream. "How is that possible?" muttered.

the 4 puffs of smoke had turned into 4 spirits that floated a few centi off the ground.

"Teacher" muttered Liu Chen.

One of the spirits there was Zhao Feng, Liu Chen's teacher. There was also his teacher's younger brother, Zhao Yu. The other two people were teachers from Zong Xian and Yang Jia Li.

"I'm glad to see you again, senior. But what's with the situation that we've become spirits?" zhao Yu said. It was great to see his senior again. However, he did not like to meet her with the state of being already a spirit.

"Where have you been all this time, senior? You didn't help us when fighting the demon emperor" the middle-aged woman said. He was Yang Jia Li's teacher. His name is Xia He.

"I didn't help you guys back then because I had business. I was recovering from being attacked by someone" Han Liangyi said, glancing back. Towards Xia He.

"Who attacked the senior so that it could make the senior hurt?" said the old man next to Xia He. He was the teacher of Zong Xian. The Wu Pen.

"Eitherway. I don't know who he is. But he snatched the fire phoenix sword that I carried back then" Han Liangyi said.

"Seniors.. Why are you calling us?" said Zhao Feng. Although he asked Han Liangyi, his gaze was still on Liu Chen.

"I called you here because I wanted to introduce you to her", Han Liangyi pointed at Liu Chen with her gaze. "I know, he must be the one you chose, junior Feng. I found out after he used one of your moves. The fire tulip"

Liu Chen became strange when his teacher called Han Liangyi with a senior. While Han Liangyi himself, called his teacher a junior. Wasn't his teacher older than Han Liangyi, judging by their appearance?

Zhao Feng smiled, "You're right senior. He was indeed my disciple and he was the one I chose to replace me with"

"Replace? What do you mean, teacher?" liu Chen said in confusion.

"I'll explain. But first, I will introduce you to the other three people" Han Liangyi said.

Liu Chen replied with a nod. He stared one by one at the spirits behind Han Liangyi.

"You must have known what your teacher's name was, he was Zhao Feng. He has the nickname 'The generator' because he can control corpses. It is a pillar of the northern continent.

Next to your teacher, there is Zhao Yu. He was the younger brother of junior Feng. Has the nickname 'Thousand swords'. He was a pillar of the central continent.

That granny-"

"Senior! Why do you call me Grandma?! I don't accept it!" xia He said with annoyance.

"What's really going on? That is indeed true" said Han Liangyi who seemed innocent.

"Of course because I am young and beautiful" Xia He said confidently.

"I want to vomit hearing that. Beauitiful? Hmph! What's so pretty?" said Wu Pen.

Xia He looked at Wu Pen in annoyance, "I don't need your opinion!"

"That's the truth. You're not a beautiful man. You don't even make me like you" Wu Pen said.

"Hey you guys stop arguing. You guys are like little kids. You guys are old, but you are still fighting" Han Liangyi said as he stared intently at Xia He and Wu Pen.

"Se. ni. or" Xia He said in a sinister tone. He looked at Han Liangyi coldly.

Han Liangyi blinked, "What?"

"Don't call me old. I am still young" Xia He said.

"You better not argue with this woman, senior. Women always win when it comes to arguing" Wu Pen said.

"It's already that I don't care", Han Liangyi continued his introduction. "The woman was named Xia He. Has the nickname 'Flower of death'. Beautiful, yet deadly. He can use a powerful illusion. It could also make its target kill itself. Frustrated by the illusions he saw.

I don't know why she's called a flower. Maybe because according to the person who saw it, she was very beautiful. It seemed like junior He was using his illusory abilities to look extremely beautiful in front of many people. He is a pillar of the eastern continent.

Next to junior He, there was Wu Pen. He had the nickname 'Iron bull', was a pillar of the western continent. Then, I was the pillar of the southern continent and because**they**.", Han Liangyi stared intently at the people behind her. He also emphasized the word 'them'.

"..the color of all of them, the inhabitants of the southern continent died. It happened because of the fight that was done with the Demon Emperor. Although the population in the southern continent is less and there are not many plants, but still they are human and they live.

If I hadn't recovered then I would have saved all the inhabitants of the southern continent. In any case, I am the one who should be protecting the inhabitants of the southern continent. Because it was my duty as a pillar of the southern continent", Han Liangyi still stared intently at his four juniors.

"Ma-sorry senior. We thought, when you didn't help us fight the Demon Emperor, you were evacuating the inhabitants of the southern continent" Wu Pen said, bowing his head.

"*I thought the southern continent had no inhabitants and I thought there were no plants at all. So that residents will not be able to live long if they live there. It turns out there are still residents and there are plants, although a little. So just then I agreed with the opinion of those who want to fight in the southern continent*" Zhao Fengs inner.

"Hmph! Because of you, the southern continent is destroyed" Han Liangyi said.

"Actually what did you say Liangyi? Pillars?" said Liu Chen who started to open his voice.

Han Liangyi looked back at Liu Chen. "I mean the 5 pillars of the world, the pillars of the western continent that are the protectors of the western continent itself, there are also pillars of the southern, northern, eastern and central continents. The advantage of being part of the 5 pillars of the world is that you can live forever"

"You mean?"

"If you die, then you can come back to life. As long as your head is not cut off. Also, your heart and dantian are still in place and not destroyed. When you get back up, your body will be the same when you're not dead. Surely, your Qi will be fully charged like you haven't used it at all. But if your hand is cut off while you're alive, then when you get up, you're like that.

Then, if you have become part of the 5 pillars of the world, then your face will look like when you get the title of one of the pillars of the world. For example, when you have studied all the knowledge given one of the pillars of the previous world and you have been awarded a title of part of the pillar of the world when you were 15 years old, so when your age is hundreds or even thousands of years, your face will not look as old. But you'll look like you're 20-25 years old.

That's what happened to me. In the past, I earned the title of one of the pillars of the world when I was 17 years old. But unlike my junior juniors, they got that title when they were old, so they had the same old appearance as now.

If one of the pillars of the world already has an heir or successor, even though they are still alive, then the title of one of their 5 pillars of the world will be revoked and given to their successors who already have all their knowledge. Meanwhile, people who have been revoked from the title of one of the pillars of the world, then the privilege of being a pillar of the world will be revoked from it.

The disadvantage when becoming one of the 5 pillars of the world is that if you are beheaded and die when you do not have a successor, then your spirit will not be able to ascend to the next realm. You have to find your successor so you can go to the next realm. So you won't be able to calm down before getting your successor to become one of the 5 pillars of the world.

Like my junior. They could not calm down and ascend to the next realm after dying. Because they had not obtained their successor at that time. But if they have lowered all the knowledge they have on someone, then they can calm down and go to the next realm. The task of being part of the 5 pillars of the world is to protect the five continents that exist in this world" Han Liangyi explained.

"That means I.."

"Yes, you're one of the 5 pillars of the world right now, Chen. You become a pillar of the northern continent" Han Liangyi said.

Liu Chen looked at Zhao Feng, "That's what the teacher said back then that your spirit won't last for 5 years after coming out of the spirit stone, isn't that the real reason you left? But that's because you've given me all the knowledge you have and you can go to the next realm?"

"Yes, Chen'er. I'm sorry the teacher didn't explain this and lied to you. Now you have a responsibility to the northern continent because of me" said Zhao Feng who felt somewhat guilty.

Liu Chen closed his eyes for a moment. He opened it and smiled at Zhao Feng, "It's okay teacher. I'm glad that teacher can calmly go to the next realm. The teacher wants to leave quickly. Trained me so hard"

"Chen'er, that's not really why the teacher trained you so hard. Even my training is harder than my other friends on his students. You could say, I trained you ruthlessly.", Zhao Feng was silent for a moment.

Liu Chen listened to his teacher carefully. As well as the others, they did not want to disturb this meeting between teacher and disciple.

"My reason is because I want you to be my successor soon to be one of the pillars of the world. If you are already a part of it, then you have the privilege that senior has already said.

The reason I want you to be a part of the pillar of the world immediately is so that you can withstand the twin dantian that has the opposite nature. If only you were still an ordinary human and held back the opposing elements themselves, then you'll die or you'll be tormented by the temperature changes you'll feel drastically and I don't want that to happen to you, Chen'er"

"What does teacher mean?"

"Actually, if you have different elements within you, then those elements will engulf each other. When that happens, then your body will get the impact.

It could be at night, you'll feel very cold. Whatever you do to warm yourself up, it won't be of any use at all.

Then, you can also feel the heat temperature is very drastic from your body. You won't be able to dissipate the heat in any way. When that happens, you will be very tortured.

Therefore, I want you to be part of the world pillar immediately so that the two opposing elements do not defeat each other" Zhao Feng explained.

"So.. All this time the teacher saved me and worried about me?"

Zhao Feng simply nodded, "How are you?"

Liu Chen felt overwhelmed by Zhao Feng's words that worried him. He didn't think his teacher cared much about him. His teacher also seemed to be very worried about him. She smiled, "I'm fine, teacher. I'm still alive today because of the teacher who trained me"

Zhao Feng sighed, "Thank God then"

"Ekhem! Sorry to interrupt your conversation. But junior Feng, did you choose him to be your disciple because you already know that he is the demon prince?" han Liangyi.

Zhao Feng looked at Han Liangyi. He frowned and looked confused, "What do you mean senior?"

"Chen is the reincarnation of the demon prince and the cause of the demon race attacking humans is because they think the demon prince was killed by humans "

Zhao Feng was wide-eyed at Han Liangyi's words. Not only him, but Xia He, Zhao Yu and Wu Pen were the same. They widened their eyes and were shocked. Simultaneously, Xia He, Zhao Yu and Wu Pen looked towards Zhao Feng. "Is that true? Your disciple is the reincarnation of the demon pangern?" say them simultaneously.

"I don't know that senior matter, I don't even know if the Demon Emperor has a child. All I know is that Chen is a member of the Liu imperial family in the northern continent" Zhao Feng said.

The three spirits who were beside Zhao Feng were again shocked. Other than the demon prince, it turned out that Zhao Feng's disciple was also a family member of the Liu empire that existed in the northern continent.

"So the teacher already knew that I was from a member of the empire? Since when?" said Liu Chen who looked in disbelief. He didn't know it when he was a child.

"I've known it since you said your clan is Chen'er and what I do know is that the Liu clan is a member of the snow-white imperial family and why don't you say that you are the son of the demon emperor, Chen'er?" zhao Feng said in a slightly raised tone.

Liu Chen scratched his non-itchy back head and said, "I also just found out back then, teacher. At first I had no memory of the first life when I met you"

"So, I understand now. Junior Feng, you have saved the entire human race from destruction because you have taken care of Chen'er" Han Liangyi said as he looked at Zhao Feng.

"Hey, can you just call me Chen?" the Liu Chen Protest.

"What's really going on? I'm older than you"

"How old are you really? So the teacher called you senior"

Han Liangyi smiled at Liu Chen, "My life is 1,800 years"

Liu Chen was surprised. He had indeed known that Han Liangyi was over 1,000 years old. However hearing it himself from Han Liangyi's mouth made him very surprised, "Excellent. You are living proof of one of the pillars of the world", Liu Chen clucked in awe.

"Sister, you're amazing! You educated the demon prince?!", Zhao Yu clucked in admiration. He did not expect his brother would get this amazing student.

"I didn't know that at first either" Zhao Feng said.

"Tck tck tck, you're so great Feng. Because of you, humanity is not destroyed and destroyed" Wu Pen said.

"Then what does that boy have to do with the war 1,000 years ago, senior?" said Xia He.

"The "weakness of the demon race was the Emperor and the first descendant of the Emperor. If the Emperor was killed and there were no first descendants to take the place of Emperor, then the power of the demons would be reduced drastically.

The demon race would experience a slowness in the increase in their strength. So their cultivating speed would be just like humans. Although they live in a place that has a Qi thicker than the human world. Also, their age will be the same as humans.

Therefore, the demon race was furious when they found out their prince was dead. No human knows the weakness of the demon race, other than me and Chen who are half human" Han Liangyi explained.

The four juniors were again surprised by Han Liangyi's explanation. It was only fitting that the demon race wanted to eliminate humans.
