Martial Emperor Hall

Biodata

Background / History

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

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

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

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

Relationships
