The golden dragon opened its mouth and shouted, "Stone City Du Shaofu, talented and brave, is conferred the title of 'Brave Marquis'."
His voice was like thunder, accompanied by an oppressive might that resounded throughout the Imperial Capital.
"This is the title of Brave Marquis. Du Shaofu has been conferred the title of Brave Marquis."
"Usually, only kings are conferred the title of Emperor. This is the first time a Marquis has been conferred the title of Emperor!"
"Du Shaofu doesn't seem to be a Martial Marquis yet. To be conferred the title of Marquis before becoming a Marquis, what a great honor!"
"Being conferred the title of Marquis is enough to be called the leader of all Marquises. Even the talent of the Du family doesn't seem to have the title of Brave Marquis."
"..."
Within the Imperial Capital, there was a hubbub of discussion.
In an instant, many forces were moved. What was the Imperial Palace planning to do with the title of Brave Marquis? Were they going to support Du Shaofu?
In the Du family, many auras fluctuated and many gazes flickered.
"Stone City Du Shaofu, is the Cheng Family doing this on purpose? Are they finally starting to act against the Du family?"
...
"What is the Imperial Palace trying to say? Are they explaining to Tianwu Academy, or does it have something to do with the Divine Light Court? "
"Could it be that Du Shaofu has already made the Imperial Palace make a decision..."
"Stone City's Du family and Duke Du's residence are going to be lively this time."
"..."
Within the imperial capital, sighs could be heard from the various Duke's residences.
In the main hall, Du Shaofu raised his head and was shocked when he heard the thunderous voice. He then lowered his head and saw a token in the shape of a ferocious tiger within the small golden box. It was shining brightly and looked ferocious.
"This is your identity as the Brave Marquis. From today onwards, other than the forbidden area for women and my Golden-dragon Palace, you can come to the imperial capital whenever you want. I've already arranged a residence for you in the imperial capital," Emperor Cheng said to Du Shaofu with a smile.
"Emperor Cheng, I …" Du Shaofu frowned slightly. He was rather surprised by this.
"What are you worried about? Don't worry, as the Valor Divine Marquis, all you need to do is listen to orders. Just be a good Valor Divine Marquis. Unless the Stone Dragon Empire is in danger, you don't need to do anything. Moreover, you have a special status in the imperial capital. With the identity of the Valiant Marquis, it will be beneficial to you. At least from today onwards, some people who want to make things difficult for you will have to ask for the imperial palace's opinion. "Emperor Cheng said to Du Shaofu.
"Thank you, Emperor Cheng."
Du Shaofu nodded. This matter had already been settled and he couldn't change it. At least for now, having the title of Brave Divine Marquis didn't seem to be a bad thing. Stone City still belonged to the Stone Dragon Empire in name. As a citizen of the Stone Dragon Empire, he naturally had to help when the Stone Dragon Empire was in danger.
"Alright, it's getting late. You should head back first."
Emperor Cheng looked at Du Shaofu and said, "Two days later, there will be a competition between the younger generation of the Tianhu Empire and the Stone Dragon Empire. You should go and take a look. I will send someone to pick you up."
"Tianhu Empire …"
Du Shaofu's eyes widened. When his master's Revered Weapon Abode opened, people from the Tianhu Empire appeared in the Dark Forest. He seemed to have killed a few of them.
Du Shaofu nodded to Emperor Cheng and left the Golden-dragon Palace.
As soon as Du Shaofu stepped out of the Golden-dragon Palace, Du Xiaoqing happily pulled Du Shaofu's arm and said, "Big Brother, are you the Valiant Marquis we were talking about?"
"I guess so. Let's go back first."
Du Shaofu nodded. Looking at the distant moonlight, there seemed to be a tall and slender figure approaching. He immediately said to the Second Princess Cheng Yan beside him, "Is there any other way out of the palace? I need to hurry back."
"Yes, come with me." Cheng Yan nodded and led Du Shaofu and the others away ….
Inside the main hall, the Imperial Palace's Dragon Qi was dense. Golden dragons circled around the stone pillars as if they were alive.
"Father, you have bestowed him the title of Divine Courage Marquis. The Du household and Divine Hall will most likely be dissatisfied with us."
Cheng Sheng-nan's beautiful figure appeared in the main hall. She originally wanted to look for that guy, but she didn't expect that guy to run away so quickly. In the blink of an eye, he had disappeared.
Emperor Cheng clasped his hands behind his back. He looked at Cheng Sheng-nan with a faint smile on his face. After a while, he smiled and asked, "Shengnan, how long have you known Shaofu? The last time you went to the Savage Beast Mountain Range, the Stone City was at the edge. Have you been to the Stone City? "
"Father, I don't know that bastard … I don't know him. I'm not familiar with him." Cheng Sheng-nan's delicate face blushed for no reason.
"Is that so …"
Emperor Cheng smiled lightly, and then he said in a low voice, "He's not bad. Little girl, you're not young anymore."
When they left the Imperial Palace, it was already late at night. However, many streets of the Imperial Capital were still quite lively.
"Brother Qingchun, what is the Imperial Palace's Dragon Qi?" Du Shaofu asked Zhen Qingchun, who was in the small pagoda in his arms, when there was no one around.
"The Imperial Palace's Dragon Qi is where the Dragon Vein is. The emperor of the human world is protected by the Imperial Palace and can practice the Emperor's Law. Didn't you find anything special in the Imperial Palace?" Zhen Qingchun's voice sounded in Du Shaofu's ears and into his mind.
Du Shaofu thought for a while and said, "The huge Imperial Palace is located in the center of the Imperial Capital. The four symbols are connected and the eight directions are connected. It's like a huge tactical matrix."
Zhen Qingchun's voice continued, "I didn't teach you for nothing. The royal palace is indeed a huge matrix. This matrix encompasses the entire empire, but this matrix is different. It's not an offensive or defensive matrix, but a matrix that gathers the dragon veins and forms the dragon veins. It uses the power of faith of hundreds of millions of people in the empire to transform into dragon qi. The emperor oversees the dragon palace, and the dragon qi of the royal palace protects him. If one's cultivation isn't high enough, no one can do anything about it. If you want to break the dragon qi of the royal palace, you have to destroy the entire empire and break the dragon veins."
"So, the Imperial Palace's Dragon Qi is really terrifying."
Du Shaofu secretly clicked his tongue. No wonder he felt the terrifying aura in the Golden-dragon Palace.
Outside the Guest Inn, late at night, a tall and sturdy young man stood quietly at the entrance of the inn. No one knew how long he had been standing there. He was dressed in a blue and white robe and his eyes were slightly closed. He was not as domineering as he used to be, but he was more steady and restrained.
Suddenly, the tall and sturdy young man opened his eyes. There was a slight fluctuation in his gaze as he looked towards the distant street. Under the night sky, a young man in a purple robe and a young woman in a green robe were slowly walking over.
As the young man in the purple robe and the girl in the green robe walked in, a little golden macaque stood on the young man's shoulder with a broadsword on its back.
Behind the two of them was a black kitten. In this dark night, the black kitten's eyes were unusually frightening.
"You're here?"
When Du Shaofu and Du Xiaoqing arrived at the entrance of the inn, they saw the tall and sturdy young man. It was Qian Jiu Yu, who was supposed to be the bridegroom today. He was supposed to be in the bridal chamber at this time.
"I want to embark on martial arts again, so I'm here."
Qiang Guyu raised his head slightly and looked at Du Shaofu. His seemingly calm eyes hid a fanatical expectation.
In the past half a year, Qiang Guyu had thought that he had completely given up. However, when Ouyang Shuang left today, he realized that he had never given up. He had never given up on martial arts.
"I only have a thirty percent chance of opening a new martial path for you. Maybe not even thirty percent. I don't know how far you can go on that path, and I don't know what will happen in the end. But it's very dangerous, and it's extremely painful. Ordinary people can't bear it. Think about it carefully," said Du Shaofu.
"There's no need to think about it. I've already made up my mind. I'm willing to try. Even if there's only a ten percent chance, I'm willing to try. There's nothing wrong with living an ordinary life, but it's not what I want," Qiang Guyu said without hesitation.
"Alright then, but I'm very tired today. I need a few days to prepare. Come find me in seven days. You can think about it carefully during this time," Du Shaofu said to Qiang Guyu.
"Alright, I'll come find you in seven days."
Qiang Guyu nodded and turned around to leave. After a few steps, he turned around and said to Du Shaofu, "Thank you." Then, he turned around and left.
"This guy's temperament seems to have improved a lot during this period of time." Du Xiaoyao stood on Du Shaofu's shoulder and looked at Qiang Guyu's back.
"Looks like we'll have to stay in the capital for a few more days."
Du Shaofu smiled as he looked at Qiang Guyu's back. "If he really succeeds, he'll be able to open a new path in the future. His current temperament is exactly what he needs."
"His Divine Gate is already broken. There's nothing he can do. Do you really have a way?" Zhen Qingchun asked doubtfully in Du Shaofu's ear.
"Only 30%. I still have to do an experiment on myself first. Hopefully, it will succeed," Du Shaofu said softly.
The two men and the two beasts returned to the inn. It was already late at night.
Du Shaofu sat cross-legged on the bed. He formed a seal with his hands and a faint white light enveloped his body. An ancient aura spread out …
That's right, a faint moon in the sparse forest. A faint moon gradually rose into the sky against the curtain of night.
Above the bamboo forest, the clouds drifted away. It was as if a cloud of smoke had formed. It was like a dream.
"What do the Radiant Shrine, Tianwu Academy, and the imperial palace want to do? Are they still wavering? If they want to use my cheap grandson, even though I don't have many days left to live, I won't agree to it."
In the bamboo forest, the North Vanquishing King was looking at the moon. He was wearing a plain long robe, causing his skinny chest to stick to his long robe. It looked like strips of blinds.
