Gu Qingfeng's gaze was deep, filled with countless runes flickering in and out, as he frantically deduced and calculated.

"The Star Ancient Banner before me carries remnants of the Dao Rhythm of an Immortal Heavenly Venerate from the past. To truly control it is no simple task; I must start anew and forge a set of array banners completely within my grasp!"

With this thought, Gu Qingfeng did not hesitate any further.

However.

The first step in crafting the Star Ancient Banner was not forging, but deconstruction and analysis.

He pointed his fingers like a knife, making a gesture in the air. One of the most tattered ancient banners suddenly emitted a radiant light, with the star Dao Patterns on it flowing as if brought to life.

Immediately after, with a slight hum, the entire ancient banner began to disassemble from its most fundamental structure, inch by inch.

This was not a physical destruction but an analysis on the level of the Great Tao.

Countless runic units finer than dust, Star Cores condensed over thousands or even tens of thousands of years, and the unique prohibition sequences infused by the Chaos Great Heavenly Venerate during its creation all appeared clearly in Gu Qingfeng's Divine Thought perception, as if being dissected by a master butcher.

This process was extremely taxing on the mind, causing even Gu Qingfeng, with his current Divine Thought intensity, to sweat slightly on his forehead.

He needed to penetrate its most core secrets without completely destroying these samples.

"So that's how it is... Using the Chaos Stone as the foundation, smelting Star Cores as the ink, drawing Power of All Heavens as the fire, engraving 3,600 core star prohibitions, and then infusing a trace of Chaos Origin Dao Rhythm as its 'spirit'... A brilliant method!"

Gu Qingfeng's eyes sparkled as he muttered to himself continuously.

After nine years, he finally completely analyzed one ancient banner.

Then came the second, the third... As more ancient banners were analyzed, the speed gradually picked up because he had mastered the common rules and core prohibition models within them.

Eight hundred years passed.

When the last sample ancient banner was fully analyzed.

Gu Qingfeng closed his eyes.

In his sea of consciousness, countless torrents of information converged into a complete and clear crafting blueprint.

This blueprint was not a copy of the original array banner but an optimized version based on his understanding of the All Heaven Dust Array, retaining the essence while incorporating his own Dao Rhythm insights.

"The original had 365 pieces, conforming to the number of All Heavens, grand and magnificent, yet lacking flexibility, and imposing a great burden on the main array wielder.

I shall go the opposite way, crafting 108 Star Ancient Banners, corresponding to the number of Heavenly Spirits and Earthly Fiends. Though the coverage is slightly lesser, they are more agile, with more complex and sharp formations, and they mesh better with me!"

Gu Qingfeng mused, his eyes gradually brightening.

Now.

The mysteries of the Star Ancient Banner were already analyzed, and next was the crafting stage.

For this.

Gu Qingfeng briefly emerged from seclusion.

"Father!"

In the Immortal Palace, Gu Yang rushed over upon hearing the news.

Gu Qingfeng said, "This time, I have been studying the All Heaven Dust Array, wishing to reforge the Star Ancient Banners. These are the materials I need, make sure to gather them all in the shortest time possible!"

As he spoke.

Gu Qingfeng pointed a finger; immediately a divine light of the Great Tao descended upon Gu Yang, who absorbed this information thoroughly and promptly bowed.

"Rest assured, Father, I shall gather them as quickly as possible!"

"Hmm—"

Gu Qingfeng nodded.

Then.

Gu Yang respectfully took his leave.

Watching him depart, Gu Qingfeng closed his eyes again, silently continuing to comprehend and analyze the mysteries of the Star Ancient Banner to ensure no issues occurred in the subsequent crafting process.

On the other side.

After receiving Gu Qingfeng's instructions, Gu Yang proceeded with full effort.

Under the current Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty, which governed numerous Immortal Domains, even though the materials needed by Gu Qingfeng were rare, gathering them was not overly challenging.

In less than a hundred years.

All the materials required by Gu Qingfeng were gathered completely.

For this.

Gu Qingfeng entered seclusion again.

In the void, massive amounts of materials piled up like mountains, radiating boundless and immense energy fluctuations.

These items.

Any single one would be a top-tier existence in the outside world.

But here.

They were just one of the many materials for crafting the Star Ancient Banner.

Yet this is also normal.

To craft a Creation Spiritual Treasure, how could it be an easy task?

...

"Refine!"

Gu Qingfeng spat out a surge of Life Essence Qi, transforming into Chaos Dao Fire, instantly devouring countless Divine Materials and Immortal Materials.

This was not Mortal Fire, but Supreme Immortal Fire ignited by his understanding of his own Great Tao through Dao Rhythm.

Under its burn, even Star Divine Iron and Chaos Stone melted and were purified at a visible rate, with impurities completely incinerated, leaving only the most essential parts.

Subsequently.

Gu Qingfeng formed seals with his hands, invoking the power of Earth Fire Wind Water, like four giant hammers, beginning to temper the fused material liquid mass.

Each strike contained Supreme Dao Rhythms, tightening the internal structure of the liquid mass, birthing Dao Rhythms naturally.

Finally, these materials, tempered to their limits, under Gu Qingfeng's Divine Thought manipulation, gradually stretched and shaped into banners about a zhang high, entirely in dark silver, mirror-smooth surfaces yet to have any runes inscribed.

As the first banner embryo was crafted successfully.

Gu Qingfeng quickly set about crafting the second, third one.

Time passed bit by bit.

Thirty thousand years later.

All materials were completely consumed.

At the same time.

One hundred and eight banner embryos hung silently, already emanating a heavy and sharp aura that made one's heart tremble.

Then.

The inscription of the Great Dao Prohibitions.

This was the most crucial and time-consuming step.

Gu Qingfeng, with a solemn expression, used his fingers as a pen, Divine Will as a carving tool, and mixed refined star essence with his own Longevity Chaos Blood as "ink", starting to engrave the newly devised star prohibitions on each banner embryo.

Every touch of his fingers resonated with the Power of All Heavens, causing countless astral projections to appear and fade in the void.

Each prohibition inscribed increased the aura of the Star Ancient Banner, making its sensation with the stars in the void stronger.

This process allowed for no mistakes; any deviation in a prohibition could greatly diminish the power of the entire array or even render it useless.

Gu Qingfeng immersed himself fully, his mind completely absorbed, forgetting the passage of time.

Inside the cave heaven, who knows how many lunar cycles passed.

When the final prohibition, the last stroke of Dao Patterns, was perfectly engraved on the 108th Star Ancient Banner—

"Buzz!!!"

All one hundred and eight Star Ancient Banners simultaneously shook violently, bursting with dazzling starlight.

They were no longer lifeless objects, as if they suddenly possessed life, with their energies perfectly connected, forming a cohesive whole.

On the banner surfaces, star Dao Patterns flowed autonomously, creating visions of endless star rivers, star vortices, and star explosions.

A formation wave far more profound, agile, and powerful than the previous incomplete array burst forth, even causing the Qi Fortune Green Lotus of the entire Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty to sway slightly, dropping billions of threads of Qi Fortune light to correspond with it.

Gu Qingfeng looked at these 108 brand new Star Ancient Banners, circling him as if with spiritual awareness, and finally showed a trace of a satisfied smile.

"Most of it is completed now, there is only one final step left!"

Gu Qingfeng raised his head to look at the void, there he saw tribulation clouds already forming, for the emergence of a Creation Spiritual Treasure destined to undergo Heavenly Tribulation baptism.

If it cannot withstand the Heavenly Tribulation's tempering, it ultimately cannot be considered a Creation Spiritual Treasure.

Otherwise.

The All Heaven Dust Array deployed by such Star Ancient Banners would have its power significantly reduced.

Reaching the level of Eleventh Rank Sixth Grade would be absolutely impossible.

Therefore.

Enduring the Heavenly Tribulation was inevitable.

With a thought, Gu Qingfeng directed the 108 Star Ancient Banners to break free from the bonds of the Immortal Palace, swiftly penetrating the Nine Layers Heaven, instantly appearing in the outer chaos.

The next moment.

The vast Heavenly Tribulation thunderously crashed down, its extreme terror instantly drew the attention of many powerful beings.

"Is this the Creation Heavenly Tribulation!?"

"One hundred and eight Creation Spiritual Treasures, whose work could this be—!!!"

Many powerful beings, upon witnessing this scene, had pupils suddenly contract, as if seeing something inconceivable.
