Shennong Sequence

Chapter 405 The Heavenly Net and Earthly Net Formation System, the Luck System, the Yin-Yang Two Dynasties System, and the Entrance Palace
As Jing Yuchan carried Zhao Yun through the sky, the more Zhao Yun looked at the endless array patterns and light stretching across every inch of the Jade Gate Continent, the more alarmed he became about the terrifying nature of the Divine Dynasty's system. Under such close surveillance, everyone had no freedom whatsoever!

Of course, but it can also provide a way for people at the bottom to survive and reduce a lot of overt oppression and persecution.

Therefore, for the lower classes, the inner continent of the Great Zhou Dynasty was a paradise where as long as they were diligent, they could eat and drink their fill.

But for those at the bottom to rise to the top, it becomes an extremely difficult process, like a thousand troops crossing a single-plank bridge... Because of the extended lifespans caused by things like advancement through ranks, divine conferment of godhood, longevity elixirs, and the bestowal of lifespans by divine dynasties, the upper echelons have become solidified in the ceaseless flow of time!
However, within this all-encompassing surveillance network, the upper echelons are like birds trapped in a vast, monitorable world, yet they have no choice but to survive within this system... After all, the Divine Dynasty provides salaries, limits on embezzlement, and ample space for various forms of power manipulation!
Otherwise, I'm afraid no practitioner would want to be monitored at all times.

Furthermore, because every inch of the Divine Dynasty's land is inscribed with a Heavenly Net Formation, when foreign enemies invade, it will not be like the battles between the Northern Liang border states and the barbarian tribes of the Canglan grasslands.
Because most border areas are unguarded, the enemy can easily infiltrate and break through.

Within the Great Zhou Dynasty's inner continent, with its endless array formations, every inch of land can be transformed into a solid fortress, blocking the enemy's advance!

Moreover, the construction of each inner continent represents the outward extension and encroachment of the Great Zhou Dynasty's impregnable fortress!
Only then did Zhao Yun recall the reason why the Great Zhou Dynasty could wage war on all four sides simultaneously without fear of depleting its national strength.

The root cause lies in:
With the inland continent's vast and inescapable network of defenses as its foundation, the Great Zhou Dynasty could freely send out troops under such impenetrable protection!

However, if a powerful external enemy wants to invade, it must first find a way to dismantle the ironclad barriers of the formations in every inch of the land. This requires endless resources to advance little by little, thereby eroding the surveillance, defense, attack, and deception capabilities of the countless formations.

Not to mention, the land area of ​​each continent ranges from tens of thousands of miles to hundreds of thousands of miles.

Therefore, under the macro-control of the Heavenly Net Formation over heaven and earth, the immense logistical power that can be unleashed by integrating the means of production of the boundless land is absolutely unprecedented!

Furthermore, the sequence of Si Nong, with its extraordinary abilities in agricultural and livestock production, as well as the cultivation of spiritual plants and medicines, can make the powerful logistics even more rapid!

This is why the Great Zhou Dynasty was able to support the simultaneous outbreak of wars on all four sides without significantly weakening its national strength!
And this is only the information Zhao Yun sees on the surface at this moment.

The Divine Dynasty must have even more tricks up its sleeve!

It can only be said that the Great Zhou Dynasty's all-encompassing network of formations is truly formidable.

In addition, the Great Zhou Divine Dynasty is also known as the Fortune Divine Dynasty. Above this array system that covers the whole world, there is another layer of fortune system.

The more Zhao Yun investigated, the more he could sense the boundless depth of the Divine Dynasty system!
In addition, Zhao Yun also thought of the source of many Yin spirit stones and even top-grade Yin spirit stones in the Great Zhou Divine Dynasty. That was because an equal divine dynasty had been established in the Yin world, which was the opposite of the Yang world!
Yin and Yang complement each other; even if one side weakens, the other side can replenish it, which can be described as an ultimate foundation with a deeper level of foundation.

Therefore, any enemy facing such an impenetrable divine dynasty system would likely only be able to sigh in despair...

Half a day later, a streak of light that had set off at dusk landed in the Ministry of Agriculture of Yumen Island City in the dead of night.

Jing Yuchan, accompanied by Zhao Yun, paid their respects to Jiang Mingcheng, the Grand Minister of Agriculture of Yumen Inner Continent!

After that, the two of them stayed at the Ministry of Agriculture.

The next day at dawn, Jing Yuchan and Jiang Mingcheng took Zhao Yun to Lantian Academy to pay their respects to the headmaster, Jiang Tai. After they met and chatted, Jiang Tai instructed Lan Jing, an outstanding student from the Shennong Academy, to take Zhao Yun to complete the necessary procedures for entering and leaving the academy and auditing classes…

Once everything was settled, Zhao Yun decided to temporarily settle down at the Lantian Academy.

Furthermore, because Jing Yuchan knew Xin Ruyin's secret, Zhao Yun's eligibility to listen in on the proceedings included bringing a servant to take care of his daily life.

Therefore, Xin Ruyin was reassigned to the role of a servant, and was able to accompany Zhao Yun to his lessons on a daily basis.

Furthermore, the reason why Xin Ruyin was not given a temporary transfer to listen to the proceedings was not only because her special status should not be publicized, but also because of the relationship between Zhao Yun and her. If the two of them came to listen to the proceedings together, it would be easy for outsiders to seize on this as a handle to attack and frame her during the crucial period when the inner continent of Beiliang was established and officials were promoted.

However, it wasn't a big deal for Zhao Yun to bring a servant along to listen in.

So that's how it was done.

As for the more than eighty personal guards in Zhao Yun's divine spiritual realm.

Zhao Yun asked for their opinions again. Many of them were heartbroken and devastated by the death of their loved ones and wanted to leave the private army to find another way to make a living... but some were willing to follow him.

So Zhao Yun tallied the number of people and their names, and then asked Lan Jing to take him to the Ministry of War in Yumenzhou City, where he could directly process the discharge procedures for those who wanted to withdraw!

As for severance pay?
Just kidding, how could such a thing exist in a feudal dynasty... And it's good that Zhao Yun didn't ask about the training fees for the departing guards, such as military formation training!
Then most of them were cleared out at once, leaving only twenty-six personal guards: Tu Qi, Wang Qin, Wang Han, Wang Tang, Sheng Yunze, Bao Sicong, Lin Xiangwen, Yin Zeyang, Fan Jingyuan, Fang Liyang, Jiao Xingxuan, Yue Hanmo, Wei Youpeng, Li Feiyu...

Zhao Yun would certainly not mistreat those who didn't leave!

Tu Qi will still be in command, with Wang Qin and Lin Xiangwen as deputy captains. They will also accompany Zhao Yun to the Yumenzhou City government office to report for duty!

During his studies at Lantian Academy, all military pay was provided by the Yumenzhou City treasury, which greatly reduced Zhao Yun's financial burden!
In addition, Zhao Yun was particularly grateful for the special clause in the 1000 private soldiers quota that King Mu had given him: "The local government shall bear the costs of soldiers' salaries and weapons maintenance in the area where they are stationed." This clause was truly crucial!
With all these matters settled, Zhao Yun assigned Tu Qi to lead twenty-six personal guards to reside in the official residence in Yumenzhou City, which corresponded to the official duties required for Zhao Yun's official business as a sixth-rank official. The guards trained under Tu Qi's guidance on a daily basis, and did not need to do anything during their rest periods...

In this way, Zhao Yun, Xin Ruyin, and their 26 personal guards gradually integrated into the life of this Yumenzhou city.

Meanwhile, Zhao Yun and Xin Ruyin also began to extensively supplement their basic knowledge, seeking to improve...

In addition, during his spare time, Zhao Yun also contacted the merchant guild that had previously released pigeons at Yanmen Pass to resell resources and barely salvage some of his reputation.

Half a month later, Jing Yuchan delivered a top-grade Daoist Elixir.
Three months later, Zhao Yun, through these merchant guilds and the Lantian Academy, completely sold off the resources he had collected from the True Dragon World.
A total of 200 top-grade spirit stones were obtained, but most of them were yin, a few were of the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire and earth, and there were no other special top-grade spirit stones.
Of course, Zhao Yun also obtained a large number of spiritual resources!

There are 3247 low-level Spiritual Talents!
There are 974 medium-grade Spiritual Talents!
