 Chapter 2490: The Beginning and End of the Technological Cultivation Path

In different sea regions, even the waters of the Sea of Realms differ.

The waters of this sea region emitted a faint blue glow.

According to Water Stop Celestial Lord, the closer one gets to the Origin Continent, the bluer the waters of the Sea of Realms become.

Soon, a cluster of fluorescent light appeared in Lin Moyu's sight. This was the good thing Water Stop Celestial Lord had mentioned.

The source of the fluorescent light was a metallic sphere, emitting a faint glow and a special aura, different from the treasures Lin Moyu had encountered before.

Water Stop Celestial Lord quickly swam over, a suction force emerged, directly pulling the metallic sphere into Lin Moyu's hand.

The metallic sphere felt cool to the touch. Lin Moyu asked, "A technological treasure?"

Water Stop Celestial Lord nodded, "Yes, it's a technological treasure, and it's a Celestial Lord-level technological treasure that hasn't been damaged much."

Lin Moyu asked, "What is its use?"

Water Stop Celestial Lord rolled his eyes, "How would I know? You're the one holding the treasure, not me."

Lin Moyu couldn't help but laugh, "I thought you knew everything."

"Cut the flattery. If you want to know, figure it out yourself." Water Stop Celestial Lord's tone carried a hint of disdain, as if saying, "With your level of cultivation, you're far from flattering me."

In the past ten-plus years of fishing in the Sea of Realms, Lin Moyu hadn't encountered a single treasure.

He had thought that despite the many opportunities in the Sea of Realms, he hadn't encountered any.

Unexpectedly, he encountered one now.

Using his soul to communicate with the treasure, Lin Moyu immediately understood its purpose.

This technological treasure was called a "Bee Core," one of the core components of a Dao Lord-level battleship.

The Dao Lord-level battleship had a total of one hundred identical Bee Cores, forming the control center of the battleship.

The battleship's appearance resembled a giant bee, hence its name.

Lin Moyu suddenly thought of the battleships in the Great World, which also seemed to have some technological influences, likely influenced by similar sources.

"The Human Emperor has integrated a technological treasure. I wonder if this Bee Core can be of use to him."

"When I reach the Origin Continent, I'll give the Bee Core to the Human Emperor to try. It might be useful."

As the Great World's Origin continued to strengthen, even after integrating into the rule world, its evolution continued.

The Great World was expanding, but the Human Emperor's control area hadn't grown much due to limited power.

Gradually, the human star regions were surpassing the Human Emperor's control area.

Lin Moyu had thought about helping the Human Emperor increase his power, but it wasn't easy.

He didn't understand the cultivation methods of technological treasures.

Water Stop Celestial Lord asked, "So, have you figured it out?"

Lin Moyu nodded, "More or less. This Bee Core is part of a Dao Lord-level battleship."

Water Stop Celestial Lord chuckled, "Part of a Dao Lord-level battleship? You're quite lucky. If you take it to the Lu Feng Merchant Association, you could sell it for a good price. Technological treasures aren't cheap."

Lin Moyu asked, "Are technological treasures rare?"

Water Stop Celestial Lord replied, "They used to be common, but now they're rare. The cultivation methods of technological treasures were once very popular, causing quite a stir, but later they declined."

Lin Moyu thought about Water Stop Celestial Lord's age and figured he must know something, so he asked, "Can you tell me about it?"

Water Stop Celestial Lord said, "I don't know much, but since we're idle, I'll tell you what I know."

"The cultivation methods of technological treasures first appeared in a Sea of Realms world."

"There was a Sea of Realms world different from others. During its evolution, a unique cultivation method emerged."

"The Celestial Lord of that world applied this cultivation method to himself and won many world battles."

"Eventually, he successfully elevated his world to the seventh level and became a Dao Lord."

"After that, he returned to the Origin Continent and founded a sect, spreading the cultivation methods of technological treasures."

"Later, the sect expanded continuously, and the Dao Lord's realm kept increasing, becoming more and more arrogant."

"One day, he offended someone he shouldn't have, and the sect was destroyed."

"The ancestor escaped with his fleet to the Sea of Realms."

"But the pursuit didn't stop. They fled and eventually disappeared in the Sea of Realms."

"Maybe they found a new place to settle, or maybe they were destroyed. The cultivation methods of technological treasures still exist on the Origin Continent, but they are not mainstream, only side branches."

Water Stop Celestial Lord finished recounting what he knew about the rise and fall of the technological cultivation path, and Lin Moyu listened attentively.

Lin Moyu thought of the Origin Realm and felt that the root of everything should be there.

Lin Moyu asked, "Do you know where the Origin Realm came from?"

Water Stop Celestial Lord shook his head, "I don't know. I only know that the Origin Realm comes from a very mysterious place, accessible only to Dao Lords. Even among Dao Lords, not everyone is qualified to enter."

"There are only two ways to obtain an Origin Realm: either have a powerful Dao Lord in your family or buy it from someone else."

No wonder everyone who comes to the Sea of Realms for world battles has a background, either backed by a powerful Dao Lord or with substantial financial resources.

Ordinary cultivators have almost no chance of participating in world battles.

The two continued chatting as they crossed one sea region after another. The waters of the Sea of Realms gradually turned bluer, and the dark clouds in the sky became sparser.

Three days later, they occasionally saw bright light piercing through the thin clouds, shining on the blue sea.

The waves were much calmer here. The closer they got to the Origin Continent, the calmer the sea became.

They were approaching the southern continent of the Origin Continent, where the human population was the largest. The Origin Continent was vast, and just the southern continent alone was so large that most cultivators couldn't traverse it in their lifetime.

Along the way, Water Stop Celestial Lord and Lin Moyu discussed some matters to be aware of on the Origin Continent.

Lin Moyu estimated that the southern continent alone was equivalent to an area of 100,000 light-years in the Great World.

Moreover, space gates couldn't be used here, and speed was restricted by the Great Way's rules. Even at full speed, it would take a Celestial Lord at least a hundred years to fly from one end of the southern continent to the other.

And they couldn't encounter any incidents along the way. The southern continent wasn't safe and had many dangers.

Some places that were safe today might not be safe tomorrow.

The dark clouds were almost gone, and the sky was bright. Water Stop Celestial Lord looked ahead and said, "We're almost at the Origin Continent. You should soon see the fish people!"

Lin Moyu was slightly taken aback, "Fish people? There are fish people on the Origin Continent?"

Water Stop Celestial Lord chuckled, "What's so strange about that? You know the uses of the fish in the Sea of Realms."

"Those fish people catch fish, some for themselves and some to sell."

Lin Moyu asked curiously, "If they want fish, can't the Celestial Lords catch some themselves?"

Water Stop Celestial Lord replied, "There are rules. Celestial Lords who don't participate in world battles aren't allowed to fish in the Sea of Realms. Even those who do participate can't fish indiscriminately."

He rolled his eyes at Lin Moyu, "You weren't a Celestial Lord back then, so you weren't restricted by the rules."

Lin Moyu finally understood. After he became a Celestial Lord, Water Stop Celestial Lord turned a blind eye, as rules were flexible.

Lin Moyu finally saw the so-called fish people: several human cultivators at the Transcendent Realm, each holding a fish spear, fishing in the Sea of Realms from a special small boat.

Above them, a Supreme Being followed, ready to rescue them at any moment.

After all, if a Transcendent Realm cultivator fell into the Sea of Realms, they could easily die if they were unlucky.

Lin Moyu was amazed by their fish spears. He had seen such spears before; the Ghost Clan and Luo Shen's parents had used them, identical to these.
