Shennong Sequence

Chapter 374 The Mystery of the Physical Body, the Gate to the Divine Treasury, and a Bountiful Harvest!

Those who cultivate themselves are unaware of the passage of time.

Ten days or half a month pass in the blink of an eye.

Zhao Yun and Xin Ruyin were immersed in the mysteries of cultivation.

Enjoy every bit of power increase, magical power growth, realm advancement, and so on, immersing your mind and body in a powerful and joyful state.

However, the private soldiers and guards, isolated in another corner of the divine realm, were waiting anxiously.

Unfortunately, the primordial weak waters outside, though no longer as raging as they were in the early stages, were still flowing slowly.
Even more so, the sunlight shining on the water's surface and the light refracted to the bottom became weak and hazy, like a candle flame about to go out... Therefore, the depth of the great flood continued to increase, as if it would completely submerge heaven and earth.

Also, has the hole in the sky that was torn open by the battle between immortals and demons been repaired?

Because it cannot be seen, it is unknown...

Therefore, the information Zhao Yun could obtain when observing the outside world through his divine spiritual realm was ultimately pitifully little.
He was powerless to help the soldiers who were anxious.

However, some disciples from aristocratic families suggested trying a special method of communication to see if they could call for help.

Although Zhao Yun knew the chances were slim, he was still willing to give it a try!
Subsequently, these scions of the seven surnames and ten royal families, using flying swords, mechanical devices, or magical artifacts, escorted themselves out of the protection of the divine spiritual realm and into the primordial weak waters of the Great Flood...

These messengers of hope, before they could even touch the surface of the Great Flood's primordial weak water, were eroded and dissolved into ashes by the terrifying, all-consuming power contained within it...

Therefore, the harsh reality is that the threat of the Primordial Weak Water cannot be resolved in the short term.

Like caged beasts, everyone could only helplessly wait for the raging flood to recede, leaving them with no idea when it would finally break and allow them to see the light of day again...

Of course, during this time, Zhao Yun also had these scions of noble families, and even the soldiers below them, try out their own methods of transmitting information, asking for help, or some ingenious ways of self-rescue.

After the soldiers' numerous attempts failed one by one, the situation of this group, who had been trapped in a corner of the divine spiritual realm for more than half a month, was completely put an end to their wild thoughts and even their complaints.

After all, Zhao Yun was annoyed by these people's commotion over the past two weeks, so he decided to use the power of the great flood to dampen the soldiers' strong desire to save themselves.

Fortunately, this small space of the Divine Spirit Realm was not eroded by the Great Flood and the Weak Water of the Primordial Embryo outside. Instead, it received the fortune contained within and was able to grow rapidly!
Therefore, as long as the divine spiritual realm can exist stably, everyone will ultimately only be trapped and will still retain their lives!

In this way, while Zhao Yun was cutting off the soldiers' desire to save themselves, he also instilled in them the belief that they would be saved when the great flood truly receded.

Amidst much disappointment, a glimmer of hope has been sown.

This prevents soldiers whose beliefs have been shattered from instantly losing their faith, becoming truly self-destructive, and then engaging in extreme depravity or seeking revenge.

Other than that,

Zhao Yun also saw the great flood outside, which was getting deeper and deeper, and he became even more worried.

However, apart from confining himself to the divine spiritual realm, actively transforming the resources he had previously acquired into his own strength, and absorbing the creations from the weak waters of the Great Flood Primordial Embryo, he had no other good options.

In essence, they are the same as these soldiers.

Furthermore, seeing that the soldiers were having trouble saving themselves and had nothing to do, Zhao Yun instructed them to use their free time to cultivate and improve themselves, as that was the true way to go!
In addition, Zhao Yun did not take on all the responsibilities himself; instead, he was assigned to be the Minister of Agriculture to oversee the planting of grain for everyone.

Zhao Yun chose to have these idle soldiers help sow the seeds of the spirit grain. While the spirit seeds were germinating, they also spurred the growth of some fast-growing grasses in the fields. He then left the task entirely to the soldiers to weed and loosen the soil every day.

At least I have something to do; it's better than having nothing at all.
It also allows these soldiers to expend some energy while hoeing the ground, and to vent some of their frustrations and anxieties.

To avoid bottling it up for too long and causing something bad to happen...

In addition, Zhao Yun also separated a small number of female soldiers, about twenty, from the majority of male soldiers and made separate dormitories for them.

Lest something out of line happen, it would be bad for the whole team...

Therefore, these kinds of things need to be gradually changed through this process of adjustment and compromise.

then,

Another half month passed,

The land had been tilled, a batch of spirit grains had been harvested, and the spirit grain seeds had been extracted... So when the soldiers were bored again, Zhao Yun summoned them once more.

This time, whether it was his own 80 personal guards or the remaining 600-odd private soldiers from aristocratic families, he made them train in military formations together!
Let's get back into the practice we lost and fell behind on because of our previous laziness!

Since we're all bored anyway, why not use this opportunity to train, improve our teamwork, enhance our skills, and kill some of our excess energy that's wasting on random thoughts...?

Furthermore, in such military formation training, those who follow the military lineage can digest the power of the lineage and enhance their cultivation.
Those who follow the path of martial arts can also strengthen their bodies through such training, and can also refine the power of the Daoist tradition, increasing the strength of their qi, blood, and physical body...

In short, Zhao Yun had only one standard: these energetic soldiers couldn't be too idle.

Otherwise, it could easily lead to a bad situation for Zhao Yun's side!

In a hurry,

We have been trapped under the flood for two months.

Zhao Yun and Xin Ruyin also made significant progress during this period!

First, with Zhao Yun's help, Xin Ruyin brought together many dragon beasts from the True Dragon World, as well as the demonic beasts and spirit pets that were driven to the brink of death by the aftermath of the Immortal War on the Canglan Grassland. All of these were brought under Xin Ruyin's care.

So during the two months she was trapped, the herding allowed Xin Ruyin to quickly digest the power of the ninth-order Dao lineage in her dantian!
Now only a tiny bit of the tail remains. It is estimated that in another two days, it will be able to digest it completely and obtain a perfect thousand strands of magical power!

Furthermore, the 'Spring Order Law' that Xin Ruyin comprehended in the past shadow of the ancient Banyan Tree, the oldest tree in the True Dragon World, can command various creatures such as birds, beasts, and spiritual plants to grow and develop rapidly, and even cause these creatures to undergo minor mutations and bloodline awakenings during their growth. This can be considered one of the innovative methods in the ritual for advancing from Sequence Nine to Sequence Eight. Other ritual conditions for sequence advancement are also being rapidly improved recently…

Therefore, Xin Ruyin is also about to reach the process of advancing from Sequence Nine to Sequence Eight!

However, there is another problem: the maximum amount of mana.

That is, the problem of intelligence and refinement.

The numerous spiritual essences Zhao Yun had previously gathered from the dragon beasts and the true dragon world, plus the little spiritual essence he had left over from the Yan Gui Spirit Mountain, were all just enough to cover the energy required for Zhao Yun to advance from Sequence Eight to Sequence Seven.

However, in the Donglai Pool of the True Dragon World, Zhao Yun, in order to condense the Pure Yang Thunder, consumed a portion of the spiritual essence while digesting numerous spiritual resources... This resulted in a shortage of the spiritual essence that was previously sufficient!
Furthermore, even if Zhao Yun has no shortage of spiritual talent and has met many of the conditions for advancement, he still cannot advance his own sequence at the bottom of the Great Flood Yuan Tai Weak Water.

Because the final step in this advancement process requires the addition of the Earth Spirit to refine the crucial Daoist Pill, Zhao Yun not only failed to collect the Earth Spirit from his own cultivated spiritual field, but he also lacked the skill to refine pills…

That's the crux of the matter.

Therefore, Zhao Yun thought for a moment and then asked his lucky general, Xin Ruyin, to refine a portion of the spiritual essence first, so that the sequence could be promoted.

Then, after this great flood disaster is truly over, selling the resources I bought from the True Dragon World will be enough to exchange for the lost spiritual resources.

Therefore, Zhao Yun's desire to advance in the sequence and become stronger remained unchanged, so he continued to cultivate diligently in the midst of the great flood, laying a more solid foundation for his subsequent advancement from sequence eight to sequence seven.

Furthermore, we should strive to acquire resources after escaping this predicament and immediately begin the process of advancing through the ranks!
Furthermore, during these two months,
Zhao Yun himself also underwent an amazing transformation!

During the two months of being immersed in the Great Flood, the divine spiritual realm grew to a size of thirty miles in diameter.

This is more than six times larger than the previous surface area, which was 12 miles in diameter.

As for the divine spiritual realm, its combined volume of heaven and earth is even greater!

Besides that, there was the time when Zhao Yun and Xin Ruyin bathed together in the great flood, absorbing its power of creation.
Zhao Yun had already evolved the 206 bones in his human body, from the initial 64 upper limb bones to golden bones. After bathing in the great flood, he further advanced this process, transforming 29 skull bones, 51 trunk bones (spine, ribs, sternum), and 49 lower limb bones into golden bones.
Now, with only 11 lower limb bones remaining, it is possible to transform this ordinary mortal body into a state of golden bones.

When the golden bones are combined, it will be comparable to the level of a martial artist of Sequence 7: Copper Skin and Iron Bones.

If more of the transformative substances are added, the indestructible power within these golden bones will gradually permeate and infiltrate more flesh, tendons, internal organs, and so on.

When the entire physical body has completely evolved into an indestructible golden body state,

In terms of physical strength alone, Zhao Yun can rival the powerful strength of the sixth-level martial artist in the strongest body-refining sequence: Martial Intent Spiritual Aspect!

Therefore, this great flood,
Zhao Yun now sees,

retreat?

Or not to retreat?

In truth, Zhao Yun no longer wanted the great flood, which represented a great opportunity, to recede too quickly!

They even hoped that the great flood would last longer, preferably half a year or a year, so that the four thousand acres of spiritual fields could be cultivated, the spirit of the earth element could be extracted, and the physical body could be completely transformed into an indestructible body!
However, after the physical body undergoes transformation, there is still the replacement of the marrow, blood, and other substances within the bones. In short, the journey of life evolution is still very long...

In addition, there is the cultivation of magical skills, and basic archery has been pushed to its limit. The spiritual eye derived from it is also exceptionally strong. Even Zhao Yun's superior talent 'eye' has never been used...

Therefore, in this divine realm, growth, divinity enhancement, magical power increase, spell maturity, and physical transformation all occurred rapidly within these two months!
And when all this growth is added to the physical body, the gate to the Power Treasure, one of the nine great treasures of the physical body, has gradually emerged from the mist of the physical body and revealed its complete outline!

Furthermore, over the past two months, the outline of this complete Gate of Power has gradually taken on a physical form, emerging from the bronze frame at the bottom of the gate!
The manifestation of this gate of power corresponds precisely to Zhao Yun's state of immense strength, reaching 30,000 jin, after he mastered all his power.

It can be said that, at this level of power, some unruly and arrogant dragon beasts that are thirty or forty meters tall would sink to the ground if they were slapped by Zhao Yun, or even let out a few pitiful howls.

In addition, Zhao Yun gradually cultivated spiritual soil in some barren lands within the divine spiritual realm, relying on the creative substances within the great flood.

Then, after repeatedly cultivating the spiritual soil, a spiritual field is created.

The process of cultivating a spiritual field from scratch is far more difficult than the process of upgrading a spiritual field to a spiritual soil that has accumulated for hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years on a spiritual vein and has long been imbued with spirituality.

Therefore, this process of creating something from scratch is destined to be a very slow one.

Therefore, during the two months he was trapped under this great flood, Zhao Yun, using his current physical strength of 30,000 jin, could only cultivate and nurture 1000 mu of spiritual fields!
“Spirituality is ultimately the foundation for cultivating spiritual fields, but this is much slower than the speed at which I cultivated spiritual fields on soil that contained spirituality before…”

This also shows that the foundation of my divine spiritual realm is severely lacking!

In addition, the spiritual veins within the divine realm provide nourishment, which is also an important factor in ensuring that the quality of these cultivated spiritual fields does not decline.

On the other hand, the resources of creation contained within the Primordial Weak Water, which was transformed after the Primordial Weak Water was born, further ensure that Zhao Yun's current process of cultivating spiritual fields will not harm the origin of the spiritual veins.

Furthermore, due to the abundant filling of creative substances, the spiritual veins, spiritual fields, spiritual treasures, spiritual plants, and demonic beasts will all receive certain benefits!

Therefore, during the two months that Zhao Yun was trapped at the bottom of the Great Flood Yuan Tai Ruo Shui, his own transformation was truly rapid!

Even more so, these are merely physical transformations.

The magical power gained from absorbing the power of the Daoist tradition in those cultivated spiritual fields has once again accumulated three hundred strands of magical power.

Of course, the increase in magical power is not very significant.

The one that truly experienced the greatest increase was the divinity within Zhao Yun's sea of ​​consciousness!
After all, divinity and this divine spiritual realm originate from the same source, and both are under Zhao Yun's control, so the connection between them is naturally even more profound.

The growth of one will naturally drive the growth of the other!
