Shennong Sequence

Chapter 238: The super-boundary array that covers every inch of the inner continent and monitors all living beings, the spirit of the array

"Also, these formations spread over every inch of land in Inner Continent can detect and record the information of every person born in Inner Continent. The information will then be directly uploaded to the formation spirits in the centers of each city to generate relevant files and specially make an identity token."

"This identity token is proof that this person has traveled to various places in the Inner Continent throughout his life. It can also record every detail of a person. It is also an important certificate for issuing certificates in various places..."

"That is to say, every time you go to a place, it will be recorded in detail in this identity token. Moreover, this identity token is a guarantee of one's life!"

"Because in the Inner Continent, it is strictly forbidden to kill individual lives at will. Even if it is a death sentence, it needs to go through special procedures before it can be carried out by a butcher at the market."

"So, as long as you walk around in the Great Zhou with your identity token, once you die, it will be recorded by the formation that covers every inch of the land, and then there will be special government officials to investigate..."

"This is the Great Zhou government's guarantee for the lives of every citizen, so that every ordinary person can live in peace on this land and feel meticulous care... But for cultivators, it is constant surveillance."

Zhao Yun listened to Qu Feiyu's story and was quite interested in the teleportation array and passenger boat in Neizhou.

After all, in Zhao Yun's opinion, a prosperous world of cultivation should not be like the Beiliang border island, where traveling is so inconvenient that people have to rely on horse-drawn carriages.

But I didn't expect that the inner continent of the Great Zhou was such a prosperous place.

However, when I heard that every place in the inner continent, even every inch of land, was covered by formations, and every city was the processing center of the formations for a large area, and even every person's life from birth to death was clearly recorded by the formations...

This made Zhao Yun frown.

These things are undoubtedly good things for ordinary people. At least they don’t have to worry about sudden death and no one will care about it, and their life safety is effectively guaranteed.

But for someone like Zhao Yun who pursues unfettered practice, the strict review mechanism really makes people feel uneasy!

This feels even more difficult than in the previous life when there were surveillance cameras everywhere in the streets and alleys, and mobile phone apps shamelessly asked for various permissions such as location permissions.

In the Great Zhou, your information is anchored directly from the moment you are born. Every place you go will leave a systematic record, which goes deep into every moment of your life...

Therefore, the monks in that inner continent seemed to have their hands and feet bound by an invisible shackle!

However, Zhao Yun had to admit that this was indeed a good thing for ordinary people at the bottom of society. At least it could deter those who engaged in robbery and arbitrary killing.

In addition, Zhao Yun thought about those truly wealthy families. Could they rely on their power to break the privilege of this shielding array surveillance?

"Haha, Brother Zhao is so dazed, but you are thinking about the formation that can monitor everyone's whereabouts. Is there any way to block it? After all, you live in a border island, and people here have much more freedom than those in the inner island." Qu Feiyu saw through Zhao Yun's thoughts at a glance and said frankly with a smile.

Seeing that Qu Feiyu had spoken directly, Zhao Yun had no choice but to nod. After all, it was indeed a bit embarrassing to say out loud the idea of ​​destroying the official monitoring system of the Great Zhou Dynasty and evading surveillance.

But since it has already been said, there is no need for him to hide it anymore.

"The method of hiding that Brother Zhao is thinking of does exist, but it can only be done in the areas specifically designated by the Divine Dynasty government."

"And it must be some spiritual land outside of the major cities or a place with special earth vein power, and a place where cultivation families of various levels are stationed, and the official formation monitoring of this area will be specially removed."

“And these places are the safe havens for the cultivation families.”

"However, the number of practitioners in each family's base is controlled by each family. If there is a problem, they will be held accountable and punished."

"In addition, as long as you leave the area outside the family residence of the cultivation family, you will be directly monitored by the formation. Just like a bird flying out of a cage, it will immediately be spotted by the hunter..."

"In addition to this, no place in each city that can block the operation of the formation is allowed."

"If there is, it won't be the usual police officers who keep the city running to come and patrol, but the city guards will directly attack."

"If the city guards can't solve the problem, we will send the corps in charge of the nearest area to directly clean up the situation..."

"So, as long as you live in a city in the inner continent, your safety is guaranteed, but your freedom will be relatively limited. And you can only move within the framework of the rules..."

Zhao Yun listened quietly and gained a deeper understanding of the rules of this inner continent.

"In addition, within the inner continent of the Great Zhou, even a sapling in the wilderness will be accurately locked by the spirit of the formation in the center of each city the moment it breaks through the soil and takes root and sprouts, and detailed growth information will be fully recorded."

"Therefore, in the inner continent where formations are spread over every inch of land, even a spiritual plant in the wilderness will be deeply branded with the mark of the country of the Great Zhou Divine Dynasty from the moment it is born! The blind cultivator who picked it will be fined..."

"However, ordinary people are treated preferentially. Generally, no one will interfere or stop them when they go up the mountain to chop some firewood. But if they covet those precious spiritual plants and try to pick them, they will be fined an astonishing amount. This is completely different from the situation in other continents."

"In the outer continent, there are no formations that cover every inch of the mountains and rivers. People can freely travel and explore in the vast mountains and forests, and even pick spiritual herbs..."

After listening to Qu Feiyu's story, Zhao Yun couldn't help but feel awe for the profound heritage of the Great Zhou Divine Dynasty.

In some of the deep mountains and old forests in the inner continent, the spiritual plants that grew in the ownerless land were all marked without exception by the formations that were interwoven throughout the mountains, rivers and land...

This kind of monitoring ability is like a pair of invisible but extremely sharp eyes, penetrating into the details of every inch of the mountains and rivers, observing every move of all things in the world, and even the smallest change cannot escape its "eyes".

Moreover, such a huge and complex formation covers every corner of the inner continent of the Great Zhou Divine Dynasty, and can monitor the information of every life in an all-round and no-blind angle manner. This is undoubtedly a shocking and magnificent project.

This kind of formation provides solid and reliable protection for the lower-class people... but for monks, it is a disaster!
'Perhaps this is the key to the long-term survival of the Great Zhou Dynasty and its endless luck?'

'Generally speaking, as long as the lower-class people can live and work in peace and the society can remain relatively stable, there will be no large-scale rebellion, unless some families are blinded by greed and ambition and deliberately provoke in an attempt to disrupt this seemingly peaceful but actually turbulent situation...'

'In addition, this can continuously monitor the identity information of every living being, and can also accurately detect whether the death of living beings in each place is within the normal standard range. Once an abnormal increase in the number of deaths in a certain area occurs, it means that something unusual must have happened there. The relevant departments only need to conduct a little investigation to unravel the truth.'

"We need to stop hiding underground..."

"Such a powerful monitoring capability can be regarded as a real monitoring of the world. If you think about it carefully, it is really powerful!"

'But from a certain perspective, this may also be a manifestation of relatively equal rights...although it is not as ideal as the universal peace.'

"But for the lower-class people, having land and property in their hands is equivalent to holding the key to a long-term stable life, and being able to reproduce and live peacefully on this land..."

"As for those who have nothing and no industry, according to Qu Feiyu's description, in the social system of the Great Zhou, where the class divisions are clear and the interest structure has long been solidified, if they want to improve their living conditions and change the trajectory of their fate, they can only work hard to learn a skill to make a living and work in the service industry in the prosperous and noisy cities to make a living..."

'As for those who have no ancestral property or skills, I'm afraid they can only be assigned to various places to serve as servants, doing heavy physical labor and struggling to survive in a harsh environment...'

'However, compared to those feudal dynasties that treated slaves like grass and had no dignity at all, the system of the Great Zhou was undoubtedly much more advanced. It left a glimmer of hope for every life, allowing them to still feel a little warmth and respect in their difficult lives...'

Then, Zhao Yun couldn't help but feel a ripple of doubt in his heart. Why was it that such a perfect system of the Great Zhou Dynasty failed to take root and flourish in the land of Beiliang Border Island?

But then I thought about it and understood.

It's the butt that determines the position of the head.

I am also a cultivator now, how can I possibly hope that the formation that monitors the world is really spread all over the border islands of Beiliang?

However, Zhao Yun thought of Feng Shui Master Wang Xunlong and the official business he was going to do in the border island of Beiliang!
Zhao Yun asked Qu Feiyu cryptically: "Commander Qu, I heard that there are people coming from the Inner Continent who are going to start sorting out the land veins of the entire Beiliang Border Continent. Could this be the beginning of copying the system of the Inner Continent?"

"It shouldn't be. First, Beiliang Bianzhou was established very recently, only a hundred years ago at most. Moreover, it is located at the forefront of the conflict between the Great Zhou and the barbarians, and the situation changes rapidly. The facilities just built today may be destroyed in the baptism of war tomorrow. Destruction is always faster than construction. The implementation of this system is naturally full of difficulties."

"Also, I wonder if General Zhao has ever heard that if we want to connect the formations between the major cities to form an indestructible defense system, we need not only the cultivators from your farm and Feng Shui masters who have extraordinary sensing abilities for the spiritual veins of heaven and earth and the direction of the earth veins, but also special talents like them who can regulate the trajectory of the earth veins of the entire Beiliang Border Continent."

"It also requires the presence of a master of formations to coordinate and skillfully connect all the city's formations together to build a super-large formation to protect the border continent."

Zhao Yun did have some understanding of the contents mentioned by Qu Feiyu through Feng Shui master Wang Xunlong.

He only knew some basic concepts about matters such as exploring the earth veins, adjusting the direction of the earth veins, and establishing a large formation to protect Beiliang Binzhou, but he had never had the opportunity to explore the detailed details and subtleties involved.

"In addition, you also know that we are currently at our lowest point as our spiritual energy is fading. All the array formations that rely on spiritual power are like machines that have lost their power source and are temporarily unable to operate normally. In order to cope with this dilemma, the various dynasties and great powers have worked hard and finally developed a substitute that can perfectly adapt to the rise and fall of the spiritual tide... That is the earth energy surging deep in the earth, which is the key energy supply that can support the construction of special array formations."

"Therefore, the core purpose of moving various earth veins is to provide a continuous and powerful energy support for the formations between various cities to ensure their stable operation."

"And the crucial teleportation array that connects the various cities can also be used to teleport with the help of the earth veins..."

"However, before the ground veins of Beiliang Bianzhou are fully adjusted to the best state, the ground vein power that can be drawn by the formations in each city is like a drop in the bucket, which is extremely limited and cannot satisfy the further development of various powerful formations."

"Because there is no construction of these basic formations, the systems established under the supervision mechanism will be even more difficult to implement..."

Qu Feiyu shook his head slightly, with a look of relief on his face.

Naturally, he didn't want to set up a formation that could monitor the entire world.

Moreover, saying this to Zhao Yun, a man destined to take up the post of Minister of Agriculture, was also an invisible form of winning him over.

Lived in freedom.

Who would want to be watched all the time?

Unless he's a self-abusing pervert...

"In addition, I heard there is another crucial factor."

When Qu Feiyu said this, his voice unconsciously lowered, and there was a hint of awe in his tone.

But thinking about making friends with Zhao Yun, he continued: "The production methods of the formation cores and formation spirits in each city of each continent are all derived from the core secrets of the Divine Dynasty, and are produced separately from special departments in the Divine Capital and then transported to various places... Ordinary forces, even if they exhaust all their resources and means, cannot forge them at all."

There was a gleam of awe in Qu Feiyu's eyes.

But Zhao Yun was a little frightened when he heard it!

What Qu Feiyu said before, about some things in Neizhou, did make him curious.

Whether it is a flying boat, a teleportation array, or a formation that monitors the world.

These have been running for a long time and involve too many people, so they are still known to the public and are not secrets.

But what Qu Feiyu said later about the spirit of the formation, and the origin of the core of the formation that monitors the entire area... Could this be something that a person who couldn't make it in the inner continent and came to the outer continent to make a living would know?
I know too much!

Could this be a spy or a secret agent?
