Lin Moyu asked, “What is its use?”
Heavenly Venerable Shuizhi rolled his eyes at him. "How would I know? You're the one holding the magical artifact, not me."
Having been snapped at, Lin Moyu couldn't help but chuckle. "I thought you knew everything."
"Hmph, don't try to butter me up. If you want to know, look for yourself." Heavenly Venerable Shuizhi wore a look of disdain, as if to say that with the kid's level of cultivation, he was still far from being able to flatter him.
He had spent over ten years fishing in the Boundary Sea before, yet he hadn't encountered a single magical artifact.
At the time, Lin Moyu had been thinking that although they said there were many opportunities in the Boundary Sea, he hadn't encountered a single one himself.
Unexpectedly, he had encountered one now.
Communicating with the magical artifact using his soul, he immediately learned its purpose.
This technological magical artifact was named Bee Core, and it was one of the core components of a Dao Venerable Realm warship.
That Dao Venerable Realm warship contained a total of one hundred identical Bee Cores, which formed the control center of the warship.
The warship's exterior resembled a giant bee, which is how it got its name.
Lin Moyu suddenly thought of the warships in the Great World. The Great World's warships seemed to have some traces of technological magical artifacts; they must have been influenced by them.
"The Human Emperor has fused with a technological magical artifact. I wonder if this Bee Core can be used by him."
"When I reach the Origin Continent, I'll hand the Bee Core to the Human Emperor to test. Perhaps it will have an effect."
As the origin of the Great World continued to grow stronger, even after merging into the Rule World, its evolution continued.
The scope of the Great World was becoming increasingly vast, but because the Human Emperor's power was limited, the area he controlled had not grown much.
Gradually, the human race's star territory was exceeding the Human Emperor's control area.
Lin Moyu had also thought about helping the Human Emperor increase his power, but that was not easy.
Lin Moyu did not understand the human race's technological cultivation methods.
Heavenly Venerable Shuizhi asked, "How is it? Have you figured it out?"
Lin Moyu nodded. "I've mostly figured it out. This Bee Core is part of a Dao Venerable Realm warship."
Heavenly Venerable Shuizhi chuckled. "Part of a Dao Venerable Realm warship? Not bad luck. If you take it to the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce, you can sell it for a good price. Technological magical artifacts are not cheap."
Lin Moyu asked, "Technological magical artifacts are very rare, right?"
Heavenly Venerable Shuizhi said, "They used to be quite common, but not anymore. At one time, technological cultivation methods were glorious for a while and caused quite a stir, but later they declined."
Thinking of Heavenly Venerable Shuizhi's age, Lin Moyu figured he must know something, so he asked, "Can you tell me about it?"
Heavenly Venerable Shuizhi said, "Actually, I don't know too much, but since we have nothing to do, I'll tell you."
"Technological cultivation methods actually first appeared in the Boundary Sea World."
"There was a Boundary Sea World that was different from other Boundary Sea Worlds. During its evolution, a type of cultivation method never seen before appeared in that Boundary Sea World."
"The Heavenly Venerable who was the World Master applied this cultivation method to himself and kept winning in one World Dispute after another."
"Eventually, he successfully elevated his world to the seventh rank, and that Heavenly Venerable also became a Dao Venerable by relying on that seventh-rank world."
"Afterwards, he returned to the Origin Continent and founded a sect, and thus technological cultivation methods were spread."
"Later, that sect continued to expand, that Dao Venerable's realm continued to rise, and his actions became increasingly arrogant."
"Finally, one day, he provoked someone he shouldn't have, and the sect was destroyed."
"That ancestor escaped, taking his fleet and fleeing to the Boundary Sea."
"But the pursuit did not stop. They fled and fled, eventually disappearing into the Boundary Sea."
"Perhaps they found a new place to settle, or perhaps they have already been wiped out. Technological cultivation methods still circulate on the Origin Continent, and technological magical artifacts exist, but they are not orthodox; they are merely a branch."
Heavenly Venerable Shuizhi finished telling everything he knew about the history of technological cultivation methods, and Lin Moyu listened very carefully.
Lin Moyu thought of the Primordial World. He felt that the root of everything should be in the Primordial World.
Lin Moyu asked, "Do you know where the Primordial World came from?"
Heavenly Venerable Shuizhi shook his head. "I don't know. I only know that the Primordial World comes from a very mysterious place, and at least a Dao Venerable can enter it. Even for a Dao Venerable, not everyone is qualified to enter."
"There are only two ways to obtain the Primordial World. One is to have a powerful Dao Venerable in your family, and the other is to buy it from someone else."
It was no wonder that everyone who came to the Boundary Sea to play the World Dispute had a background; either they had a powerful Dao Venerable behind them, or they had sufficient financial resources.
For ordinary cultivators, wanting to come and engage in the World Dispute was almost impossible.
The two chatted along the way, crossing one sea area after another. The water of the Boundary Sea gradually turned blue, and the dark clouds in the sky became increasingly sparse.
Three days later, they could occasionally see bright light passing through the scattered dark clouds and spilling onto the azure sea surface.
The wind and waves here were also much smaller. The closer they got to the Origin Continent, the calmer it became.
The place they arrived at was the Southern Continent, where the human race was most numerous on the Origin Continent. The Origin Continent was very large; just a single Southern Continent was something most cultivators could hardly travel across in their entire lives.
Along the way, Heavenly Venerable Shuizhi told Lin Moyu about some things to pay attention to on the Origin Continent.
Lin Moyu roughly estimated that the scope of the Southern Continent alone was equivalent to one hundred thousand light-years in the Great World.
Moreover, one could not use the Space Gate here, and speed was restricted by the Great Dao rules. Even flying at full speed at the Heavenly Venerable level, it would take at least a hundred years to fly from one end of the Southern Continent to the other.
Furthermore, one could not encounter any trouble along the way; the Southern Continent was not safe and had many dangers.
In some places, just because it was safe today did not mean it would be safe tomorrow.
The dark clouds were becoming fewer and fewer, and the world was already bright. Heavenly Venerable Shuizhi looked forward and said, "We are almost at the continent. I reckon you will soon see fishermen!"
Lin Moyu was slightly stunned. "Fishermen? Are there still fishermen on the Origin Continent?"
Heavenly Venerable Shuizhi chuckled. "What's strange about that? You're not unaware of the purpose of the fish in the Boundary Sea."
"Those fishermen catch fish; some are for their own consumption, and some can be sold for money."
Lin Moyu asked curiously, "If they want fish meat, wouldn't it be better for a Heavenly Venerable to come over and catch some?"
Heavenly Venerable Shuizhi said, "There are rules. Heavenly Venerables who do not participate in the World Dispute are not allowed to go into the Boundary Sea to catch fish. Even Heavenly Venerables who participate in the World Dispute cannot catch them indiscriminately."
As he spoke, he rolled his eyes at Lin Moyu. "You weren't a Heavenly Venerable at that time, so you weren't within the scope of the rules."
Lin Moyu finally understood. As for after he became a Heavenly Venerable, naturally Heavenly Venerable Shuizhi turned a blind eye; after all, the rules were flexible.
Lin Moyu finally saw the so-called fishermen: several human cultivators in the Other Shore Realm, each holding a fish spear, sitting in a special type of small boat, fishing in the Boundary Sea.
Above them, a Supreme was following, ready to take action and save people at any time.
After all, once someone in the Other Shore Realm falls into the Boundary Sea, if they are unlucky, it is very easy to die.
Lin Moyu looked at their fish spears in surprise. He had seen these fish spears before; the Ghost Race and Luo Qitian's parents had used them. It was this type of fish spear, exactly the same.
Chapter 2491: Giving Face to the Green Robe Elder
This sea area was not far from the Origin Continent, and it had already left the area of the World Dispute.
Here was a small sect called the Sea Patrol Sect. The sect was not large, there were not many experts, and fishing was their main business.
Their disciples fished while cultivating, selling the fish they caught to cultivators on the Origin Continent in exchange for various resources.
Besides this, the Sea Patrol Sect also sold a type of fish spear. This fish spear was very peculiar; it could automatically search for fish kings in the Boundary Sea, pierce through the barriers of Boundary Sea Worlds, and at the same time, repair the barriers.
Sometimes, some World Masters would come to buy these fish spears to allow the cultivators in their own worlds to fish within the world.
As everyone knew, fish in the Boundary Sea could accelerate cultivation speed.
With the successes and failures of the World Dispute, many fish spears had also fallen into the Boundary Sea, becoming ownerless items.
Lin Moyu finally knew where the Ghost Race's and Luo Qitian's fish spears came from.
Heavenly Venerable Shuizhi said, "Actually, there are quite a few such fish spears in the Boundary Sea, and many have also fallen into various Boundary Sea Worlds."
"It is not just the Sea Patrol Sect that sells fish spears; there are many other sect forces that also sell them."
The Southern Continent region was too large; how many islands were there along the coastline, and how many forces, no one could say for sure.
These sects were all doing similar business: fishing and selling fish.
Regarding the arrival of Heavenly Venerable Shuizhi, those fishermen turned a blind eye, and some even avoided them from afar.
The Supreme standing in the air directed the Other Shore Realm disciples not to approach.
He knew very well the identity of Heavenly Venerable Shuizhi: a Heavenly Venerable from the Sea Race, whom they could not afford to provoke.
However, when he saw Lin Moyu standing on the back of Heavenly Venerable Shuizhi, the Supreme clearly showed a look of shock.
But they dared not look too much. Staring at a Heavenly Venerable for a long time as a Supreme was very impolite and could even lead to being blamed by the Heavenly Venerable.
Heavenly Venerable Shuizhi carried Lin Moyu and swam past island after island.
There were many houses on the islands, as well as magnificent palaces. Lin Moyu felt a different aura; this was the aura belonging to the Origin Continent.
Finally, Lin Moyu saw the coastline from afar; they were almost there.
Lin Moyu's gaze narrowed. "Why is General Whale there?"
Heavenly Venerable Shuizhi also saw it and gave a light exclamation. "Yes, why did General Whale come!"
In the sky above the coastline, General Whale was floating there.
In a slightly further place, there were some people watching from afar, but they did not dare to approach.
General Whale had already restrained his aura, but the power of the Dao Venerable Realm was still not something that Supremes could approach.
The mere pressure of a Dao Venerable was enough to crush the souls of Supremes.
Heavenly Venerable Shuizhi accelerated and rushed over, greeting, "General Whale, why have you come over?"
"The King ordered this general to come and deliver something!"
General Whale was still quite polite to Heavenly Venerable Shuizhi; in terms of age, Heavenly Venerable Shuizhi was still his senior.
Heavenly Venerable Shuizhi turned his head and looked at Lin Moyu. "It's for this kid, right?"
"That's right!" General Whale opened his mouth and spat the item out; it was another box, which landed directly in Lin Moyu's hands.
Lin Moyu took the box and bowed to General Whale. "Many thanks, General Whale. Please trouble the General to tell the King for me that Lin will never go back on what he promised."
General Whale nodded. "The item has been delivered; this general is leaving."
After saying this, it flew towards the Boundary Sea. Its speed seemed slow but was actually fast, and in the blink of an eye, it had disappeared on the horizon.
Lin Moyu was a bit puzzled. "Why send me something again?"
Heavenly Venerable Shuizhi squinted his eyes. "It seems the King sensed that 'that person' had been here. An existence like the King of the Boundary Sea would not do meaningless things."
Everything has a cause, and Heavenly Venerable Shuizhi's words let Lin Moyu understand this cause.
It was precisely because of the Green Robe Elder's arrival that the King of the Boundary Sea had sent another gift.
This gift was actually not for him, but for the Green Robe Elder. One would imagine that this gift would not be too light.
Lin Moyu did not check it immediately. This was no longer the Boundary Sea, and there were many eyes around. Lin Moyu naturally understood the principle of not flaunting wealth.
Heavenly Venerable Shuizhi sent Lin Moyu to the shore. "The path ahead is for you to walk yourself."
Lin Moyu said, "Thank you. If there is a chance, I will come to see you."
Heavenly Venerable Shuizhi scoffed. "When you come, remember to bring good wine."
Lin Moyu laughed and took out a storage jade stone. "The wine here is enough for you to drink for a while."
Heavenly Venerable Shuizhi took the jade stone and glanced at it, his eyes immediately bursting with bright light.
Inside the jade stone, it was filled with fine wine, as many as one million jars, and each jar contained ten thousand catties.
With so much fine wine right before his eyes, he was naturally excited, but on the surface, he still feigned calmness. "Not bad, not bad. You kid are quite sensible; it was not in vain that this old man escorted you all the way."
"Alright, drink this wine first. Remember to bring more next time."
Lin Moyu laughed. "Okay, I'll bring you more next time."
Heavenly Venerable Shuizhi left, turning and sinking into the water, departing from the bottom of the water.
Lin Moyu officially stepped onto the land of the Origin Continent. The moment he stepped onto the land, a strange aura rose from the soles of his feet, surged into his body, and dispersed into his limbs and bones.
At the same time, from all directions, invisible forces also surged over, and the connection between him and the Origin Continent seemed to become closer and more harmonious.
Strictly speaking, he was not a native creature of the Origin Continent.
He was born in the Boundary Sea World and grew up in the Boundary Sea World. Stepping onto the Origin Continent for the first time, the Origin Continent would naturally imprint him with a new mark.
