The Martial Imperial Manor was very big, and Shi Chen was not familiar with some places. At that time, the Divine Martial Hall was the largest building in the Martial Imperial Manor, so no matter what, as long as one was not an idiot, they would be able to find that place.
Along the way, the servants had already heard of Shi Chen's performance in the clan competition and had received the recognition of the Martial King. After looking at Shi Chen, they immediately lowered their heads and spoke.
"Young Master Chen!"
As for Shi Chen, this was the first time he had received the respect of everyone in the Martial Imperial Manor. He could not help but secretly rub his nose. All of this was because of the strength he had displayed previously.
If he was still the same as before, these people would probably roll their eyes at him!
With a light laugh, Shi Chen ignored them and walked away!
Very quickly, Shi Chen arrived at the Martial Imperial Manor's largest Divine Martial Hall. It was also the Martial Imperial Manor's most prestigious hall.
Although the Martial Imperial Manor was called a mansion, the entire Martial Imperial Manor was built according to the imperial palace. There was a pavilion that was thirty feet tall, a pavilion that was fifty feet tall, and more than five great halls. The Divine Martial Hall was where Martial Kings lived, and it was only slightly smaller than the Stone Emperor's Taiji Hall.
This was enough to prove the supreme status of a Martial King in the entire Stone Kingdom.
Looking at the magnificent hall in front of him, Shi Chen felt a little dazed. Without the permission of a Martial King, even the Princess Consort was not allowed to enter this hall, but he had come here today!
There were two giant dragons carved in front of the Divine Martial Hall. The dragon heads faced outwards, and the dragon tails were inside. There were ninety-nine steps in between, and Shi Chen walked up step by step!
He climbed all the way to the highest step. On a flat ground in the main hall, there was a horizontal board with the words 'Divine Martial' written on it. It was extraordinary. White bricks, golden tiles, and purple beams were carved with all kinds of flowers, birds, fish, and insects!
Shi Chen took a deep breath. At this moment, he could faintly feel how powerful his father was. In the entire Stone Kingdom, other than the Stone Emperor, who else could enjoy such treatment?
Only Martial Kings!
Pausing for a moment, Shi Chen directly walked into the Divine Martial Hall!
The interior of the Divine Martial Hall wasn't bright. Four huge golden pillars supported the entire hall, with carvings of dragons and phoenixes on them. Shi Chen walked in directly. Under his feet was an extremely bright red carpet with purple-gold edges. There were also True Dragons, Divine Phoenixes, Qilins, and other divine beasts on it!
This hall represented the power and strength of a Martial King!
At the end of the hall, a figure sat on the dragon throne. That person was wearing a purple python robe! Extremely honorable!
This was a Martial King, the most legendary Martial King in Stone Country!
Due to the rules of etiquette, even if a Martial King was a King, he could only pass on the python robe, not the dragon robe like the Stone Emperor.
It was said that the Stone Emperor wanted to help the Martial King forge a dragon robe, but he was stopped by his ministers. Even the Martial King felt that it was inappropriate, so in the end, he could only let it go!
However, this indirectly meant that the Martial King simply did not want it. If he wanted it, the Stone Emperor had to give it to him!
Regardless of whether it was in his previous life or this life, this was the first time Shi Chen had seen such a scene. He could not help but be slightly shocked. At this moment, he finally recognized his identity. The person on the dragon throne was his father!
It was a pity that he hadn't felt anything for the past 16 years, so he couldn't help but feel resentful. He didn't say anything, nor did he greet him!
The first time the father and son met, they spent it in this depression!
"You're here."
The Martial King was the first to speak, and the hall echoed, appearing vast and magnificent!
"Yes, I'm here!"
Shi Chen puffed out his chest and raised his head. He did not have a trace of fear as he looked at the person on the dragon throne!
"Go closer!"
The Martial King spoke!
Shi Chen frowned, but he still slowly approached the Martial King.
When he got closer, Shi Chen officially met his father. Although he looked extremely noble, the aura of a Martial King was extremely weak. If it was not for the python robe, outsiders would think that he was a scholar!
The Martial King's appearance was very similar to Shi Chen's. They were both rare handsome men. They had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. Their long black hair was tied up, giving people a very clean feeling. Their fingers were slender as they tapped the dragon head on the dragon throne.
However, the temperament of the two was very different. One was noble, while the other looked like an ordinary person!
Clothes make the man.
Shi Chen couldn't help but sigh!
This was also the first time the Martial King had seen his son other than when he was young. To be honest, among the three sons, Shi Chen was the most similar to him. He sized up Shi Chen as if he wanted to see through him!
"When did it start?"
The Martial King asked. What he meant was when Shi Chen's cultivation began. This was the first time he was concerned about Shi Chen's cultivation!
"Is it important?"
Shi Chen said indifferently. He had no intention of answering the Martial King, causing the Martial King to rub his head.
"I was wrong in this matter!"
If outsiders heard the Martial King say such a thing, the entire Stone Kingdom would definitely be stirred up. A dignified Martial King actually said that he was wrong!
Shi Chen sneered after hearing this.
"You should say that to my mother!”
Shi Chen's mother had died a few years ago, so what Shi Chen meant was that this sentence was useless. Why should he accept the Martial King's apology?
"I did it to protect you!"
The Martial King frowned.
"You couldn't cultivate before. If I were too close to you, with your aunt's mind, do you think you could survive? That's why I can only ignore you. Only then can I protect you. You've suffered a lot in the past ten years.”
The Martial King said directly. Originally, he did not bother to explain this. However, after seeing how outstanding his son was today, and the child he had with the woman he loved the most, even an expert like the Martial King was moved by his son!
He knew that he owed Shi Chen too much, and he did not expect Shi Chen to understand him in one go. It was already very rare for a proud person like him to say so much, because the person in front of him was his child!
