The Legend Of Ice 21 Pangu

We walked to the place where Emperor Sun was fighting with one of his disciple while giving pointers about how to fight. When he spotted me, he said some words to his student and came forward to me.

"Hasan", he hugged me, "it has been a while."

"It is indeed, Emperor," I said.

"Oh please! Call me senior brother".

"As you wish, senior brother". We laughed and talked for some time before he asked me, "Tell me, have you succeeded?"

"Yes, but only in the first piece there."

"It would be a miracle if you gained the two in only a year and a half". We laughed and then he continued, "Did you improve?"

"I gained insights in both laws. Third divinity level in water, and peak second divinity level in wind".

"You impress me very much, brother. No one of my disciple can do such a thing in only a short period of time. Richard even told me that you have been cultivating for only three years! You are a pure talent".

"I am flattered, brother."

"I guess now you want to test yourself after closed-door cultivation?"

"I do."

"Then come. Let me give you some pointers". And with that we fought for two hours, and senior brother Sun would help me stabilize my movements every five min. My movements were slow, but also fast. You don't understand? I don't blame you. No martal brain can comprehend this without his sanity crumbling.

After we finished, the same young chinese man that was battling with Tulip earlier came.

When senior brother Sun spotted him he said, "Ah here you are. Brother, I want you to meet the most talented cultivator in our sect. Sister Tulip has already met him, but I will introduce him anyway. This Tai Yang, my direct disciple. Yang, meet your martial uncle Hasan."

"Martial uncle", he cupped his hands to me. I nodded.

"Yang is a peak second divinity stage in fire. Though he started cultivation before you in only one year, he is still a remarkable fellow".

"It is also remarkable that Richard hasn't taken notice of him before you, senior brother," I said.

"Oh yes, it is. Would you two like to spar with each other?"

"Maybe later", said Tulip, "we have come to you for an important matter."

The emperor frowned and said, "And what is this matter?"

"It is about my sword. Ever since I joined it with the second piece that I have, it talked to me", I said.

"Openly?"

"No, only in my mind. But the voice said something about taking a physical form again when all the pieces are reunited. It also said that more of its powers will be revealed."

"Has it revealed its ident.i.ty?"

"It refused. But the sword said to take it to Emperor Song."

"He has regained consciousness, hasn't he?" murmured senior brother Sun.

"Who?"

"Pangu of course".

"d.a.m.n it!" said the sword suddenly in my head, "Why does he have to reveal me?"

"So you are really Pangu? The Pangu?"

"Yes, man! How many Pangus you know?"

"None".

"Just shut up."

"Um... Hasan?" said Tulip, "why are you talking to yourself".

"Sorry. I was talking to the sword. Anyway, hadn't Pangu died while establis.h.i.+ng the world?"

"Yes", said the emperor, "But not directly after that. He waited for a chaos cycle, and had many children on Midgard. But these children have divided themselves into many civilizations. One of them was the China, the other was Greece, Rome, Norway, India, and other ones."

"When he said again, was he talking before he died?"

"No, he was talking about after he died".

"I don't understand".

"When someone puts a piece of the axe of Pangu in a weapon, he regains consciousness but be unable to talk with Pangu himself until he joins it with a second piece. This one that you gained was with junior brother Fárbauti when he inherited it from his wife Laufey The Just. Also he had another one, which also is the second one here in my sect, but he didn't know that."

" Why would he put them here?"

" Fárbauti doesn't have the bloodline of Pangu so he left them here for some lucky ones to find. And here you are."

"But this still doesn't explain why Pangu talked about a physical form".

"Before it belonged to your senior brother, it was in the hands of many people, but the only one that was capable of joining at least two pieces was the son of Emperor Song".

"Oh".

I then sparred with Tai Yang for a while, and the two of us benefited greatly. I stayed for some days, mostly spending time with Tulip, then returned to the stairs of inheritance.
