My Martial Path in the Starry SkyBiodata
| Feature | Value |
|---|---|
| Name | Martial God Hall (武神殿) |
| Affiliation | One of the Four Great Martial God Halls; operates branches, the Ziwei Fighting Arena, Martial God City, and Martial God Mountain 228 259 264 |
| Occupation/Role | Martial-arts organization that evaluates, recruits, trains, and deploys cultivators across the universe 228 259 261 |
| Status | Active |
| First Appearance | Chapter 228 |
Organization
The Martial God Hall recruits talent through its Fighting Arena rankings, Martial God Tower trials, and other assessments. High-ranking competitors may be recruited by major forces, while entering the top 100 of a rank can create an opportunity to join the Hall itself 228.
Its internal structure is implicitly divided into two branches:
| Division | Responsibilities |
|---|---|
| Martial Department | Handles martial power; its core members are subject to internal competition 371 |
| Civil Department | Handles non-martial affairs, including commerce and technological research and development 371 |
Membership and Recruitment
External Forces
Applicants unwilling to accept full internal restrictions may join as external forces. They receive fewer rights than core members but may purchase cultivation resources at internal prices and are only required to answer occasional summons, at least once every ten years 258 261.
Xu Qing chose this arrangement after declining immediate entry into the core, intending to retain the Hall identity and access to its resources without becoming bound by its rules 258 261.
Internal and Core Members
The Martial God Tower Trial provides a direct route into the Hall's headquarters:
| Tower result | Membership outcome |
|---|---|
| 36th floor | Internal member of the Martial God Hall headquarters 259 |
| 45th floor | Core member of the Martial God Hall 259 |
The tower has 81 floors. Many Radiant Rank King-ranked fighters can reach only around the 30th floor, making the internal-member threshold highly selective 259.
Core members receive separate rights, benefits, and further classification by the Core Member Manager 260. At one point, only the top hundred core members qualified for an especially rare treatment; the Martial Department's core membership was correspondingly compressed to one hundred people 371.
Ziwei Fighting Arena
The Ziwei Fighting Arena is a Martial God Hall facility within the virtual network. Though its entrance resembles a small bar, its interior is a city-sized complex with circular bars surrounding the first-floor hall and extensive training-room floors above 228.
Facilities
| Facility | Function |
|---|---|
| Training Rooms | Customizable virtual training spaces with selections for training type, opponent number, and opponent race 228 |
| Battle Arena | Matches users against random opponents and ranks them by combat ability; major forces use these rankings to identify recruits 228 |
| Trial Tower | Stage-based combat against randomly generated enemies of different species and types; high rankings grant Fighting Arena points, which function as currency 228 |
| Martial God Tower | A costly challenge tower based on virtual data from the universe's top 100 Martial Artists and top 100 Mental Power Masters at each level 228 |
The Arena supports targeted practice against specific enemy types and weapons, allowing fighters to test combat styles and equipment before making purchases 228.
Ranking Battles
The Battle Arena includes placement matches and ranked tiers. Xu Qing won his first ten placement matches to enter Silver Tier 1, then advanced through Diamond Tier 4 and reached Master rank after defeating a Tier 8 opponent 256.
The Arena also offers a Cross-Rank Challenge Mode, allowing competitors to challenge stronger ranked opponents directly 256.
Martial God Mountain
Martial God Mountain is the Hall's principal training site for young disciples and core members. It is regarded as a sacred place by many geniuses, but its training environment is intentionally harsh and emphasizes independent survival and cultivation 260 264.
A proposed immediate core-member intake required Xu Qing to remain on the mountain for at least 300 years. He refused because he would be separated from his mortal family and friends for longer than their expected lifespans 260.
Lan Ye later clarified that joining the Hall did not inherently require immediate entry to the Core Martial God Mountain; a buffer period was available, and Xu Qing could join later when prepared 261.
Mountain Gate
The Mountain Gate is administered under strict safety rules. An administrator barred a Cosmic Rank Martial Artist who attempted to enter with companions, then banned him after he reacted violently and invoked his father's status 275.
The gate administrator also warns prospective climbers about the Mountain Climbing Ladder, advising them not to sustain injuries before its appearance 277.
Training Grounds
- Martial God Statue area — A site for enlightenment and cultivation; Xu Qing, Thomas Barker, and Se Lei each used it for breakthroughs or insight 276.
- Mountain Climbing Ladder — A recurring mountain challenge for which entrants must prepare physically 277.
- West Mountain — A dangerous region inhabited by monsters with Cosmic Rank physical attributes. Their energy can accelerate soul transformation for Realm Rank experts 286.
- Wind Thunder Valley — A multi-stage assessment featuring opponents associated with different Laws. Clearing its stages draws the attention of Hall administrators and senior officials 280 281.
- Aurora Universe Statue trials — Virtual-network assessment levels held in a lightning-filled canyon 279.
Notable Personnel
- Lan Ye — Martial God Hall branch head who recruited Xu Qing through the Fighting Arena and recommended him for the Martial God Tower Trial 258 259.

- Pity Flower Saint Lord — Senior figure who rebuked Xu Qing for hesitating over the 300-year Mountain commitment 260.
- Tie Yuan — Administrator involved with Wind Thunder Valley assessments; informed Xu Qing that he could select an Eternal Life Rank teacher 280 281.
- Kuruo Elder — Elder associated with the Martial God Statue area and a mentor figure to Xu Qing 276 349.
- Qi Lin — Leader of the Martial God Envoy's security team, which apprehended members of an organization suspected of targeting Xu Qing 349.
