How long has it been since the hundred Grand Venerables listed on the Honor Roll have changed?
This is information that the vast majority of cultivators have no way of knowing; only the Celestial Mechanism Order is aware of it, and a tiny handful of cultivators have discovered it by searching through historical records:
For tens of thousands of orbital years on life planets, the nearly solidified Honor Roll has remained unchanged.
Countless cultivators and powerhouses have treated the concise Honor Roll as their lifelong pursuit.
The Honor Roll circulates throughout the Lunyis Star System; everyone knows of it, and it symbolizes peak glory. Even ordinary members of a Grand Venerable's faction feel pride and receive elevated status because of it.
But now!
The Stellar Honor Roll, once held high in everyone's hearts, has seen more than half its names fall!
All defeated by Andrew Han alone!
This unprecedented event has caused an earthshaking uproar!
"Defeated."
"All defeated."
"It's one thing for the Jade Lake Grand Venerable to die, but even Grand Venerable Maylian lost? Grand Venerable Maylian is ranked forty-ninth on the Stellar Honor Roll—I'm sorry, I can't accept this."
"Heh, what's Grand Venerable Maylian to you? Facts are facts, no matter what you think. You have to believe it, whether you want to or not."
From Honor Roll rank one hundred all the way up to rank forty-six, not a single one could withstand that mysterious Grand Venerable.
Rumor has it that Grand Venerable Hauer, ranked forty-fifth on the Honor Roll, also lost. And he lost so thoroughly, without the slightest ability to fight back. It seems this mysterious, unknown Grand Venerable in Cyan Armor is about to overturn the entire Honor Roll.
Overturn the entire Honor Roll?
Before this, who would have dared believe it, or even say it aloud?
To question the Honor Roll is to disrespect the powerhouses of the cultivation world, to scorn the credibility of the entire cultivator society!
No one would even dare to imagine it, let alone speak of it.
Yet Andrew Han's sudden rise is like a stone thrown into the sea, stirring up endless waves! He has defeated the Grand Venerables listed on the Honor Roll one by one, with overwhelming strength.
During the challenges, two or three Grand Venerables were directly slain by Andrew Han.
There were many reasons for this—unexpected escalations, plans for revenge, an unwillingness to let matters rest... To minimize unnecessary trouble and uphold the principle of proper virtue, Andrew Han killed when killing was necessary.
No matter what the reason for enmity was.
Showing mercy to your enemies is cruelty to yourself.
......
In the vast, silent starry sky, a streak of cyan light cut through the cold darkness of outer space.
"Very good. Very good."
It was Andrew Han murmuring softly, his pupils flickering with cyan flames: "Tempering oneself in battle is indeed one of the easiest ways to grow stronger. My Stellar Palace-Tier Martial Arts have already reached the realm of Triple Mystic Palace."
As he soared, a slight movement of his fingertips reduced all cosmic dust to powder.
A careless flick of the finger—if it landed on a life planet, mountains would collapse, oceans would sink, and the planet's surface would suffer catastrophic upheaval in an instant.
"Not bad."
Andrew Han nodded quietly to himself: "Unfortunately, I have no clues yet about the final two Profound Traits—'Immortal Qi' and 'Solar Wheel.' Without these last two, I can't begin the martial arts deduction process."
Stellar Palace-Tier Martial Arts focus on cultivating Profound Traits; only by gathering all seven Profound Traits can one begin the crucial process of Profound Trait Fusion.
First, one must temper the source of each of the seven Profound Traits, extract their individual characteristics, absorb their mysteries, and then, through complex processes of harmonization and source modification, forge them into a unified whole. In the end, this produces one or more entirely new Profound Traits—
By this, one can ascend to Void Rift Tier!
By this, one can reach even higher levels of genius!
In short.
The fusion of Profound Traits is the most critical step in Stellar Palace-Tier Martial Arts. It determines whether the martial path can continue and whether one can climb higher.
Stellar Palace-Tier Martial Arts have finally reached the third level.
His soul-will has reached the third-level extreme state.
