After the Embroidered Uniform Guards cleaned up the blood and mud on the floor, only Xing Jue, the Emperor, Marshal Xiao Ding, and the five lords were left in the hall.
At this moment, Xing Jue's face was filled with confusion. He still had not figured out what was going on. He clearly saw Marshal Xiao Ding being poisoned and on the verge of death.
Furthermore, he also did not understand how the Emperor was able to reach the level of a high-level Wargod at such a young age. Furthermore, the five lords were clearly not as talented as Wang Qiang, yet they were able to reach the level of a high-level Wargod in such a short period of time. This was truly puzzling. However, Xing Jue had a feeling that this had something to do with the Vein of Dragon that the Emperor had mentioned earlier.
"Xing Jue, you're really not bad. You managed to reach the level of a beginner level Wargod in such a short amount of time. You're truly the number one genius of our Starfall Empire."
"I've decided to appoint you as the General of the Divine Secret Battalion and give you control over a million soldiers!"
Marshal Xiao Ding sized up Xing Jue with a face full of smiles. His attitude towards Xing Jue was completely different from before. If he was purposely making things difficult for Xing Jue before, he was now filled with undisguised admiration.
"Xing Jue thanks the Marshal!" Seeing this, Xing Jue hurriedly bowed and thanked him.
The General of the Divine Secret Battalion, with control over a million soldiers, represented Xing Jue. He had become the person with the highest position in the Divine Secret Battalion after the Marshal, with control over a million soldiers. How could Xing Jue not be happy about this? However, Marshal Xiao Ding's next sentence made Xing Jue unable to feel happy anymore.
"Xing Jue, there's no need to be so courteous. You are the most outstanding genius in the history of our Starfall Empire. A talent like you will naturally be nurtured by our Starfall Empire."
"Furthermore, seeing that you and Xin Xin are in love, the Emperor and I have decided to grant your wish. You and Xin Xin will be married, and you will become the emperor's son-in-law!" Marshal Xiao Ding squinted his eyes, stroked his beard and smiled at Xing Jue.
However, after hearing Marshal Xiao Ding's words, Xing Jue's expression changed drastically when he glanced at the smiling faces of the Emperor and the five officials.
Xing Jue only treated Princess Xin Xin as his sister and had no feelings for her. Furthermore, there was only one woman in Xing Jue's heart, and that was his wife, Li Xiaohan. Other than Li Xiaohan, Xing Jue would not marry another woman.
"What? Don't tell me you're unwilling? " Seeing Xing Jue in such a state, Marshal Xiao Ding, who had been smiling earlier, instantly turned gloomy.
"Xing Jue, is there something that you can't tell me? If you have something to say, just say it! "At this moment, the Emperor also noticed that Xing Jue's reaction was not right, so he asked with a smile.
"I, Xing Jue, thank Your Majesty and Marshal for your love. However, I, Xing Jue, am not talented enough to marry Xin Xin."
Seeing this, Xing Jue suddenly stood up, cupped his fists, and said to the two of them with a guilty expression, "Because there is a woman waiting for me in the Mortal Realm. I, Xing Jue, will not let her down ~!"
"I was wondering what it was. So this is the reason. Xing Jue, I don't want to criticize you, but the Mortal Realm and this place are two different worlds. The Receiving Platform is from ancient times, and no one knows the meaning behind it. It can only receive people from the Mortal Realm, but it cannot make them return. "
"So, don't think about your wife in the Mortal Realm anymore. Now that you're here, you have to start a new life!" After hearing Xing Jue's words, General Xiao Ding's gloomy expression changed again. He actually smiled and tried to persuade Xing Jue.
"Marshal, even if there is no one waiting for Xing Jue, Xing Jue will never marry Xin Xin. In Xing Jue's heart, Xin Xin is his younger sister, and a younger sister and a lover are completely different."
"If I marry Xin Xin, it will be irresponsible to her. In my opinion, Xin Xin is only a sister to me, so I hope that Marshal will not make things difficult for Xing Jue." Xing Jue firmly refused.
"How dare you!"
"Xin Xin is the princess of the dynasty, the only daughter of the Emperor. Is she not worthy of you?" Seeing Xing Jue's expression, Marshal Xiao Ding suddenly stood up and pointed at Xing Jue. He was completely enraged.
At that moment, everyone present had ugly expressions on their faces. Even the Emperor was the same. They kept sending meaningful glances at Xing Jue, but no one dared to step forward to persuade him. In the Starfall Dynasty, Marshal Xiao Ding was not only a marshal, he was also the Emperor's father-in-law. He was also someone the Emperor feared.
"Let me ask you again, Xin Xin. Are you going to marry him or not?" Marshal Xiao Ding stared sharply at Xing Jue and questioned him. His tone made it seem as if he would kill Xing Jue if he refused.
"I'm not marrying him!" However, to everyone's surprise, Xing Jue spat out the answer right after Marshal Xiao Ding finished speaking. It was just two short words, but they were powerful and filled with Xing Jue's determination.
"Very well. I see that you still don't understand the situation. Then I will confine you and let you reflect on yourself. If you don't reflect well, I will confine you for the rest of your life."
Suddenly, Xiao Ding's palm reached out and grabbed onto the executioner's shoulder. The thick and strong hand firmly gripped onto the executioner's left button, like an irresistible giant lock, firmly locking the executioner in place.
At the same time, waves of boundless pressure poured into Xing Jue's body, causing him to lose the ability to resist. Under the devastation of such power, Xing Jue gradually found it difficult to breathe. His vision darkened and in the end, he fainted.
Xing Jue didn't know how long he slept for, but when he opened his eyes again, he was shocked to find that he was no longer in the Fallen Star Hall. Instead, he was in another hall. This hall was much larger than the Fallen Star Hall.
The surrounding walls were made of special materials. They were impenetrable and extremely hard. On the walls, there were no longer majestic golden dragons and jade phoenixes. Instead, there were all kinds of strange runes.
The runes seemed to form a formation that enveloped the entire hall. Although they didn't emit any energy, one could feel an indescribable pressure just by being in it!
"Where is this? Could this be the Imperial Prison? "Xing Jue mumbled to himself as he looked at the majestic and strange hall.
Buzz!
At this moment, a rune in the corner of the hall suddenly shone with a dazzling light. Following that, a figure appeared. Looking at the figure, Xing Jue couldn't help but be overjoyed. It was the current Emperor.
When Xing Jue saw the Emperor, he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart. He quickly walked forward and asked the Emperor, "Your Majesty, where is this?"
Buzz!
However, the Emperor didn't answer Xing Jue's question. Instead, he waved his sleeve. With a flash of light, a big table appeared in front of Xing Jue. On the table, there were all kinds of fragrant snacks, wine, and delicacies.
Apart from the big table, there was also an exquisite big bed. On the bed, there were soft bedding arranged neatly.
After taking out the things, the Emperor sat on the bed and said to Xing Jue with squinted eyes, "Xing Jue, I really don't have any way to deal with my father-in-law. It seems that you can only stay here for the time being."
"Your Majesty, you won't blame Xing Jue, right?"
Seeing this, Xing Jue already understood what the Emperor meant. He was indeed locked up. However, when Marshal Xiao Ding was mentioned, Xing Jue would think of the marriage between him and Princess Xin Xin proposed by Xiao Ding. Thinking of the marriage, he felt a little ashamed to face the Emperor who loved him so much.
"Heh, the relationship between a man and a woman is about mutual love. Otherwise, how can we talk about happiness?"
"Although I like you very much, I don't want to see my Xin Xin unhappy!"
"Don't take this matter to heart. My father-in-law's temper is like that. He will get better after a period of time."
"Actually, he still likes you very much. Otherwise, he wouldn't have locked you up here." The Emperor waved his hand and gestured to Xing Jue not to think too much about it.
"Your Majesty, then where is this place?" Seeing how open-minded the Emperor was, the boulder in Xing Yi's heart was instantly lifted, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face.
"Here? Xing Jue, do you know why those five ministers were able to break through to the advanced wargod level in such a short amount of time despite being stuck at the intermediate wargod level for dozens of years? "The Emperor squinted his eyes and asked with a smile.
"Could it be because of this place?" Xing Jue asked in surprise.
"Smart. That's right. This is the place where the Dragon Vein of our Starfall Dynasty is located." The Emperor revealed a look of admiration.
"But, Your Majesty, what's different about this place? Why don't I feel anything? "
After receiving the answer from the Emperor, Xing Jue was overjoyed. He once again examined the vast palace. However, other than the strange runes, he didn't feel anything special.
"Xing Jue, don't underestimate this place. This is the Dragon's Vein of the Starfall Dynasty. Forget about the five ministers, even I have to rely on the power of the Dragon's Vein to break through to the level of a high-level Wargod."
"Every hundred years, the Dragon Vein will emit godly energy. Under the cover of this godly energy, one can refine holy stones and obtain unexpected results. However, the godly energy of the Dragon Vein doesn't appear often. Sometimes, it will appear every few hours or even every few days."
"However, this year happens to be the year when the Dragon Vein emits the most godly energy. If this godly energy is absorbed by one person, the effect will be even better. Therefore, my father-in-law locked you up here to train you."
"You should know that this godly energy is limited. The more people there are, the less effect it will have. However, the less people there are, the more effect it will have. Back then, when I was training here alone, I deeply understood this. Therefore, if you train here alone, with your talent, you will definitely improve at lightning speed. "The Emperor explained with a smile.
"Heh, to think there's such a strange effect. Once every hundred years, I actually managed to catch up to it. I sure am lucky." After hearing the Emperor's explanation, Xing Jue more or less understood the profound meaning behind it. Then, a joyous expression appeared on his face.
Xing Jue used the Soul Devouring Art to refine holy stones. His training speed could already be said to be terrifying. If the so-called godly energy of the Dragon Vein was added, perhaps it would be even more terrifying. Xing Jue was very much looking forward to what level he would reach. It would be best if he could reach the level of a high level wargod.
Back then, the Soul Elder had told Xing Jue that when his strength reached the level of a high level wargod, he would tell Xing Jue his location. At that time, Xing Jue could go and rescue him.
With Xing Jue's aptitude and the Soul Devouring Asura, a high quality spiritual weapon, after reaching the level of a high level wargod, Xing Jue believed that no one in the Asura Continent would be his match. Therefore, rescuing the Soul Elder would naturally not be a problem.
At that time, under the guidance of the Soul Elder, he would be able to break through to the legendary level and leave this place. He would then head towards the mysterious and unfathomable Soul Source World and search for his father's whereabouts.
