He currently had access to the Fifth Level Barrier’s related tomes, but for the Sixth Level, he would probably have to wait until becoming an Envoy at the Radiant Moon stage.

And the only way to have Envoy permissions at the Shining Star Level…

“Star Lord!” Su Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly.

In the past, while Su Yuan had considered the position of one of the Seven Star Lords, he had no determined ambition.

But now it was different. The Radiant Moon stage seemed far off, and the position of Star Lord concerned the development of his Power of Soul. He probably needed to plan early.

Otherwise, when he became a Fifth Level Barrier Master, without higher authority permissions from the Scripture Hall, wouldn’t he be stuck?

“It’s said the Star Lord evaluation happens every three years. The next one is next year.

In the last Star Lord evaluation, aside from two who inherited positions due to their predecessor’s promotion to Radiant Moon, the rest of the Star Lords retained their positions.

Looking at the past decade, it’s rare for a First Level Star to take a position from a Star Lord.”

Su Yuan understood this meant the strength of the Star Lords might be noticeably higher than that of a First Level Special Envoy.

Currently, the longest-serving Star Lord had been in office for three consecutive terms.

It might be because they hadn’t found an opportunity to break through to Radiant Moon, or perhaps deliberately stayed at the Shining Star Level.

For some tasks restricted by level, Shining Star Level was more suitable.

“To become a Star Lord, I need to first become a First Level Special Envoy…”

Su Yuan pondered; advancing to Second Level Special Envoy required accumulating 5,000 Battle Merits.

Su Yuan was halfway there, needing to become a Second Level Special Envoy to have more chances for Two Stars and Three-star tasks.

The last task given by Yang Aoshan was specially assigned by Xu Fengtian; otherwise, a Third Level Special Envoy couldn’t usually get a Three-star task.

Additionally, the array maps for the Fifth Level Barrier would require more Battle Merits.

For the array maps, he also needed to start taking on some tasks.

After a bit of contemplation, Su Yuan stood up and left the room.

Task Hall.

This hall saw considerable traffic within the Sky Patrol Department; Su Yuan had visited once after completing his last task.

At this moment, many Imperial Envoys were conversing in the hall.

Some were discussing tasks; others were talking about cultivation.

“It’s said Xia Xuan of Vermilion Bird Imperial has already completed her promotion task and became a First Level. In less than two years, really impressive!”

“A First Level Special Envoy isn’t the end; I think she’s aiming for Star Lord. If she wins the next year’s Star Lord contest, it will definitely cause a sensation throughout the Sky Patrol Department!”

“She’s already becoming well-known throughout the department; it’s no surprise she scored ‘excellent’ in the entrance assessment…”

“Excellent… speaking of which, Vermilion Bird Imperial had seven or eight new recruits in the past six months, one of whom also got ‘excellent’ in the entrance task?”

“Yes, I heard that. His surname is Su, but it seems he didn’t cause any further commotion. No one seems to talk about him anymore.”

“…”

As Su Yuan entered the Task Hall, he heard two Special Envoys from Vermilion Bird Imperial discussing Xia Xuan, eventually mentioning himself.

Shaking his head slightly, Su Yuan walked to the front of the hall to check the tasks listed on the projection.
