**Chapter 2467: What's the Use of Soul Transmission?**

A black shadow appeared in the sky, and the phantom of the King of the Realm Sea appeared above everyone's heads. His appearance was unclear, but it was evident that he was very powerful and terrifying. The King of the Realm Sea had many Dao Sovereigns under his command, and the fact that these Dao Sovereigns bowed to him indicated his immense strength. The principle of "the strong rule" applied in every corner of the Origin Continent.

The conscious individuals present bowed to the King of the Realm Sea. Even the proud dragons had to lower their heads. The disparity in strength was too great to be compensated by status.

The voice of the King of the Realm Sea slowly resounded, "Congratulations on returning safely. Please hand over the fish bones you have collected, and I will give you corresponding rewards."

Lin Moyu immediately realized that his guess was correct. The King of the Realm Sea already knew how many fish bones each person had. He did not take them by force but allowed them to be handed over voluntarily. This approach gave everyone face and ensured that no fish bones were missed.

Lin Moyu looked at the distant unconscious people lying on the ground. They were indeed not dead, but Lin Moyu instinctively felt that there was a difference between these unconscious individuals and those who were awake like himself. Activating the Eye of the Undead and observing closely, he gradually discovered some differences. The soul fires of the unconscious people seemed to have been injured.

"Their souls are wounded. Strange, how did their souls get injured?"

"Before they were swallowed by the whale, their souls were not injured. This means the injuries occurred after being swallowed."

"And we, the conscious ones, do not seem to be injured."

Lin Moyu couldn't figure out what had happened, but there was no time to think deeply. The few conscious individuals began to take out their fish bones. Almost everyone had obtained a fish bone, and each had only one. Only Lu Fengyao had two fish bones, one of which was given by Lin Moyu.

Lu Fengyao looked somewhat smug, having more fish bones than anyone else. The fish bones flew out of their hands and were collected by the King of the Realm Sea. After everyone handed over their fish bones, Lin Moyu also took out his fish bones. He chose not to hide them, unsure if his storage space could evade the King of the Realm Sea's search. For safety, he decided to hand them over. The fish bones were not currently useful to him, and it wasn't worth risking his life for them.

Three differently shaped fish bones appeared in his hand. Lu Fengyao's beautiful eyes widened, "You have so many!"

She then realized why Lin Moyu had been so generous in giving her a fish bone. It turned out he had four fish bones, giving her one and keeping three. Her earlier smugness vanished instantly.

As Lin Moyu took out the three fish bones, he felt a gaze fall upon him. The gaze was tangible, carrying an indescribable weight, pressing down on him. Lin Moyu seemed to hear a soft "hmm," as if the King of the Realm Sea was surprised.

"He can't detect my storage space!"

With just a small reaction, Lin Moyu immediately realized that even the King of the Realm Sea couldn't probe his storage space. This was why the King was surprised when he took out the fish bones. Perhaps the King had thought he didn't have any fish bones. Obtaining fish bones wasn't easy, and not having any was normal.

An invisible force descended, and the three fish bones with Dao Patterns slowly rose into the air, collected by the King of the Realm Sea. Simultaneously, several gems fell from the sky, each exuding a strong aura of origin.

"These are origin crystals!"

"No, they aren't origin crystals, but the aura isn't fake."

At first glance, Lin Moyu thought they were origin crystals, but upon closer inspection, he realized they were different. They resembled world crystals but were still distinct.

Among the crowd, Lu Fengyao, with the broadest knowledge, covered her mouth and exclaimed, "World Gems!"

Others also recognized these gems, becoming excited. Lin Moyu didn't know what World Gems were, but from everyone's expressions, he could tell they weren't ordinary items. Otherwise, someone as accustomed to good things as Lu Fengyao wouldn't be so excited.

Lin Moyu transmitted his voice to Lu Fengyao, "What are World Gems?"

Lu Fengyao replied, "They are valuable treasures. I'll explain later."

The voice of the King of the Realm Sea echoed, "These are your rewards. These World Gems are of excellent quality and extremely precious. I hope they will be of help to you."

As he spoke, the World Gems flew towards everyone. Except for Lu Fengyao and Lin Moyu, each person received one gem. Lu Fengyao received two, and Lin Moyu received three. Lin Moyu felt the envious and jealous gazes of others, including the two high-level divine dragons.

The King of the Realm Sea's voice sounded again, "Now, please swear a soul oath not to reveal today's events!"

Though the King of the Realm Sea seemed to be asking, his tone was firm, essentially a command. Anyone who dared not swear would not leave safely. Naturally, no one dared to defy him, and they all swore soul oaths. Lin Moyu followed suit, swearing not to reveal today's events.

Throughout the process, no one dared to fake it. With a Dao Sovereign watching overhead, doing so would be courting death. After the oaths were made, the King of the Realm Sea said softly, "Please rest aside. Once the others awaken, we will return together."

An invisible force enveloped the area, and the King of the Realm Sea moved to another region where the unconscious individuals were. It was clear that the treatment of the conscious and unconscious would differ. Lin Moyu wanted to see the difference between the two groups.

At this moment, a high-level human Celestial Sovereign approached Lin Moyu and bowed slightly, "I am Xiong Borong. Lin Xiaoyou, would you be willing to sell a World Gem? Name your price."

His words were polite, treating Lin Moyu as an equal. Before Lin Moyu could respond, Lu Fengyao intervened, "Not for sale. Xiong Tianzun, don't try to take advantage."

Xiong Tianzun smiled, "I will offer a fair price!"

Lu Fengyao replied, "Fine, one World-level sixth-grade origin crystal for one gem."

Xiong Tianzun smiled bitterly, "Fengyao Fairy, that's too much."

Lu Fengyao retorted, "You and I both know the value of these high-quality World Gems. One World-level sixth-grade origin crystal isn't too much."

Xiong Tianzun sighed and left without further argument. Lin Moyu was shocked, realizing the high value of the World Gems, comparable to World-level sixth-grade origin crystals. These were only slightly less valuable than World-level seventh-grade origin crystals and could even surpass ordinary seventh-grade origin crystals.

Lu Fengyao blocked Xiong Tianzun and handed Lin Moyu a jade token, "Drop your blood on it, essence blood!"
