"Boom!"

The heavenly tribulation relentlessly bombarded down, as if intent on thoroughly annihilating the tribulation-transcending supreme treasures.

But just like the last tribulation, no matter how fierce it was, it couldn't destroy this array.

The array remained intact.

Thus it posed no threat to the Star Ancient Banner.

Once the heavenly tribulation dissipated.

Gu Qingfeng waved his sleeve.

All the Star Ancient Banners disappeared into the chaos.

At the same time.

Within the Imperial Palace Immortal Hall.

The one hundred and eight Star Ancient Banners, after being baptized by the heavenly tribulation, with their starlight introverted and Dao rhythm formed, quietly floated in front of Gu Qingfeng.

"Two sets of Star Ancient Banners, two hundred sixteen Creation Spiritual Treasures, now I can be considered an Eleventh Rank Refining Master!"

Gu Qingfeng smiled slightly.

In fact.

Normally speaking.

With his current artifact refining techniques, truly crafting Creation Spiritual Treasures was still far beyond his reach.

However—

The Star Ancient Banners were different.

This kind of supreme treasure successfully transcending tribulation had a great deal to do with the array's Dao rhythm it carried.

If not for benefiting from this array's Dao rhythm, it was estimated that none of the one hundred and eight Star Ancient Banners could have succeeded in tribulation transcension.

Therefore.

Saying he is an Eleventh Rank Refining Master, but in reality, Gu Qingfeng was very clear that his title of Refining Master was rather inflated.

However.

These are not important.

What is important is.

The supreme treasures are successfully crafted.

"Two sets of Small Circulation Stars Array mean that the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty now has two powerful trump cards!"

Gu Qingfeng waved his sleeve, and another set of Star Ancient Banners appeared as well.

The two arrays appeared here, both emitting a breathtaking Dao rhythm aura.

He gently stroked an Ancient Banner with his fingertips, feeling the immense power within its cold touch.

After tens of thousands of years and the expenditure of immense divine materials, two sets of Eleventh Rank Sixth Grade Small Circulation Stars Array finally took form.

The power of this array, he understood well, is enough to become the cornerstone of the Immortal Dynasty.

"But the expenditure is astonishing as well."

Gu Qingfeng shook his head slightly, the once mountainous Chaos Stone, Star Core, and other supreme divine materials all transformed into these Ancient Banners before him.

If he wished to refine a third set, he would have to gather resources anew, which would be no easy task.

...

"Gu Cang."

Gu Qingfeng's voice was calm, yet it penetrated layer upon layer of void with the aid of the law.

After a moment.

The hall door opened silently.

Gu Cang swiftly entered, bowed, and saluted, "Your Majesty, this subject is present."

Gu Qingfeng said, "Transmit my decree: from this day forth, let the Ministry of Works, the Immortal Dao Department, and the Evil Suppression Bureau suspend all non-essential expenditures and dedicate all resources to collecting spiritual materials and divine materials as per this list, with top priority."

Inform Nan Haoran and Xia Zhu that I don't care what methods they use, but within a millennium, I want the materials for the third set of Array Banners to be prepared."

With that said, he flicked his finger, and another prepared Jade Scroll fell into Gu Cang's hand, listing the requirements even more stringently than before.

Gu Cang's heart trembled, and he bowed deeply, "This subject shall obey the decree!"

"Go ahead."

Gu Qingfeng waved his hand, and Gu Cang respectfully withdrew.

These matters could have been entrusted to Gu Yang, but Gu Qingfeng thought it better for Gu Cang and the others to handle them.

These trivial matters.

There was no longer a need to waste Gu Yang's time on them.

For Gu Qingfeng, Gu Yang's advancement in cultivation was more significant.

It was only during his own seclusion that he required Gu Yang to preside over state affairs, but for matters that were not urgent, he still preferred not to waste Gu Yang's time.

...

The next day.

On the court throne.

Gu Qingfeng, clad in an Imperial Robe, sat upright on the Emperor's Throne, with numerous Immortal Officials standing to his sides below.

"Luo Tian!"

"This subject is present!"

As Gu Qingfeng's words fell, Luo Tian, clad in black court attire, stepped forward and saluted.

Gu Qingfeng looked at him and said indifferently, "How many Immortal Domains does the Immortal Dynasty currently control, and what is the situation?"

"The Immortal Dynasty presently holds eighty-five million Immortal Domains, here is the Immortal Domain Star Map for Your Majesty's review!"

As Luo Tian spoke, he offered up a Star Map Compass, from which immortal light emanated, transforming into an endless star map projected in the grand hall.

The regions of the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty's eighty-five million Immortal Domains shimmered with steady golden light, yet beyond this golden light, especially to the north and west, were vast swathes of ominous, writhing, expanding dark red, resembling festering wounds on the skin of chaos, exuding ominousness and desolation.

Countless light points of Immortal Domains flickered on and off, everywhere exuding a precarious decline.

"What Your Majesty sees in those dark red areas are the places where the Immortal Dynasty borders the Evil God Clan.

Currently, the Immortal Dynasty faces not only the Dark Moon Divine Country, but also several other Evil God Divine Countries, all of which in strength are not inferior to the Blood Shadow Divine Country of yore.

Yet, despite bordering the Evil God Clan, the Immortal Dynasty is not the sole power, so the pressure from the Evil God Clan isn't too severe.

However, even so, the borders of the Immortal Dynasty's territory are precarious, and even with the court's full support, maintaining stability is no easy task!"

Luo Tian's voice was steady but could not hide his fatigue.

As the National Marshal, most of the pressure faced by the Immortal Dynasty now fell on his shoulders.

This pressure.

One can imagine how immense it is.

Other Immortal Officials now also looked at the situation on the star map, their expressions uniformly heavy.

Many Immortal Officials had always stayed in the Mystic Sky Immortal Realm, and although they had some understanding of the frontier affairs, their understanding was extremely limited.

No one really knew.

Now the Immortal Dynasty's territory had reached such a critical stage.

"In the Northern Black Wind Immortal Domain, Han Chuan has fought bitterly for sixty thousand years, severely injured, yet fights on without retreat.
