Background / History

The Martial Emperor Hall is the force associated with the Longevity Martial Emperor. Yang Xiansheng was said to have conflicts with it before Jiang Li became involved. 49

The Martial Emperor Hall intervened in the Palace Examination surrounding Jiang Li, prompting Qin Miaoyu to admit that she could not protect him from its involvement. Jiang Li regarded its suppression as a grievance to settle in the future. 124 125

By the time of Jiang Li's Palace Examination results, the Hall's authority was sufficient to settle disputes: the Nine Heavens Martial Venerable ended the controversy over Jiang Li's Palace Flag and Beast Cores, then ordered him to follow her. 147

The Hall maintains strict internal rules. When Ji Qingyue attempted to attack Jiang Li within its grounds, a Fourth Grade Great Grandmaster intervened; Yang Xiansheng subsequently apprehended her on the Hall's behalf. 230 231

The organization operates as Daxia's strategic reserve across its five battlefields. When Yun Province was nearly overrun, it rapidly dispatched Martial Venerables and martial artists to organize a counterattack. 350

The Hall's decisions have also drawn criticism from Jiang Li and the Military Department. During a later crisis in Yun Province, a Military Department report described the Hall's intended response as using soldiers' and citizens' lives to stall for time. Zheng Yue and Jiang Li subsequently disputed whether the Hall's leadership or generations of frontline fighters deserved primary credit for Daxia's survival. 421 494 495

Story Role / Major Arcs

Palace Examination intervention

The Hall's influence is introduced through the Palace Examination, which was arranged by the Nine Heavens Martial Venerable and broadcast nationwide. Its intervention becomes a major source of Jiang Li's hostility toward the existing martial order. 124 125

Jiang Li's visit to the Hall

After becoming Daxia Martial Champion, Jiang Li receives a Hall envoy carrying a scroll but refuses to bow, creating an open standoff. 220

Jiang Li visits the Hall to challenge the Divine Martial Grandmaster Ranking. His score exceeds fifteen million points, far above the previous leading scores, and Granny Yang leads him into the inner Hall to receive his ranking rewards. 224 228

Inside the Hall, Jiang Li confronts Ji Qingyue after challenging a Martial Venerable. The Hall's rules prevent the dispute from escalating, and Yang Xiansheng detains Ji Qingyue. 230 231

Martial Emperor's intervention at Immortal Ridge

The Longevity Martial Emperor leaves the Hall to intervene at Immortal Ridge, where he defeats a Second Grade Demon Venerable and three Third Grade Mountain Swallowing Eagles. 347

He later battles and defeats the Heavenly Thunder Demon Emperor, using ancient battle armor forged through Daxia's thousand-year collective strength and an ancient black longsword. 348

Jiang Li's imprisonment and tournament victory

After Wang Yu orders Jiang Li imprisoned, Chu Sun escorts him in Forbidden Martial Stone shackles. Chu Sun suggests that bringing Jiang Li's father and sister to the Hall may protect them, though he presents this as conjecture. 350

At the Martial Arts Tournament's coronation ceremony, Jiang Li takes the place intended for Wang Yunguan. Xu Guangcheng announces his victory and gives him the rewards originally prepared for Wang Yunguan; Zheng Yue then summons Jiang Li. 375

Internal investigation and the Ji Family

After Jiang Li's conflict with Ji Xiangwang, the Longevity Martial Emperor orders Xiao Ci to identify the Hall traitor cooperating with the Ji Family. He restrains Jiang Li from immediate retaliation, instead setting three tasks Jiang Li must complete first. 434

A later dispute over payment for Jiang Li's Huai River mines exposes opposition among Hall officials, who cite the organization's strained finances and argue that the ore should be surrendered for Daxia's benefit. 443

Conflict with Zheng Yue

After Jiang Li kills a Second Grade Demon King at the Mount Yan Space Channel, Wang Yu brings him to the Hall. Zheng Yue warns that Kunxu could retaliate against Daxia; Jiang Li rejects her conception of strategic balance as dismissive of frontline deaths. Their argument becomes a battle in which Zheng Yue manifests the Taiyin Origin Lord Martial Divine Body. 473 474

Jiang Li comprehends Divine Intent during the fight and manifests his Great Sage Equal to Heaven Martial Divine Body, overwhelming Zheng Yue. Wang Yu intervenes when demonic energy erupts from her. He later offers Jiang Li access to the Hall's methods and scholars if he joins, but Jiang Li refuses and returns to Beihe City. 475 476

Zheng Yue subsequently arrives as a Hall reinforcement at Linhai after Jiang Li defeats a major beast tide. Although she warns of retaliation for his killing of Tu Shan Guanguan, their discussion again turns to the Hall's role in defending Daxia. Jiang Li credits the sacrifices of ordinary soldiers and martial artists over the institution's leadership; the exchange contributes to his breakthrough in understanding the purpose of his Martial Path. 494 495

Relationships

• Daxia — the Hall is a central defensive institution capable of reinforcing all five battlefields. Its leadership considers national stability a primary responsibility, while its claim to decisive credit for Daxia's survival is disputed by Jiang Li. 350 494 495
• Longevity Martial Emperor — its foremost authority and protector; his absence leaves Xu Guangcheng in command. 340 371
• Martial Empress Zheng Yue — manages Hall affairs in Kyoto and guards against threats while the Martial Emperor is away. She has led its administration for many years. 340 348 444 494
• Jiang Li — initially opposed to the Hall's intervention in his Palace Examination; later receives items, conducts transactions, and is summoned by its leadership. His disputes with Zheng Yue culminate in a fight and in his refusal of Wang Yu's invitation to join, though Zheng Yue later comes to reinforce him at Linhai. 125 220 379 395 434 474 476 494
• Ji Family — implicated in cooperation with a traitor inside the Hall. Wang Yu weighs the family's long service to Daxia when responding to Jiang Li's demand for retaliation. 431 434
• Five battlefields of Daxia — defended through the Hall's capacity to rapidly deploy reinforcements. 350
