**Chapter 2393: If You Can't Play, Don't Play**
Because of a battle, the relationship between Lin Moyu and Shuizhi Tianzun underwent a subtle change.
Shuizhi Tianzun seemed to regard Lin Moyu as a comrade-in-arms and shared with him matters related to cultivation.
The cultivation methods in the Sea of Realms and the Origin Continent differ somewhat from those in the Great World.
Although both involve comprehending the laws of heaven and earth, in the Great World, one relies on oneself to comprehend, while in the Origin Continent, people directly comprehend through the origin.
Origin items, origin crystals, origin power—anything containing origin can be used for comprehension.
According to Shuizhi Tianzun, people in the Origin Continent use special means at the beginning of their cultivation to determine which laws they are suited to cultivate. Then, they choose the corresponding origin crystals for cultivation.
Depending on one's cultivation aptitude, the same amount of origin crystals can yield different results.
For those with good aptitude, one piece of first-tier origin is enough to cultivate to the Transcendent realm.
For those with poor aptitude, it might take two or even three pieces.
Shuizhi Tianzun explained the cultivation process in great detail.
Lin Moyu finally understood a principle: he no longer needed to deliberately comprehend the laws of the Sea of Realms. The laws of the Sea of Realms are the same as those of the Origin Continent, and everything in the Origin Continent is related to origin crystals.
Origin crystals are the product of the laws of the Origin Continent. As long as he integrates origin crystals into his techniques, his techniques can function in the Origin Continent.
Moreover, the better the integrated origin crystals, the stronger the techniques.
Shuizhi Tianzun, while drinking, said, "I suggest you first adapt to the laws here; there's no rush to improve your realm."
"There are many origin crystals in the Sea of Realms. Although their grade is a bit low, they can still be used."
"Let your techniques absorb the power of origin so that they can function outside the Sea of Realms."
"I'll see if I can get you some origin crystals too."
Lin Moyu asked, "According to my predecessors, there are many treasures in the Sea of Realms."
Shuizhi Tianzun replied, "Indeed, there are many. Collapsed Sea of Realms worlds and deceased cultivators in the Sea of Realms leave behind some things, but they are hard to find."
Lin Moyu was puzzled, "Shouldn't they sink to the bottom of the sea?"
Shuizhi Tianzun suddenly asked, "Does the Sea of Realms have a bottom?"
Huh?
This question stumped Lin Moyu. Instinctively, he asked, "Doesn't it have a bottom?"
Shuizhi Tianzun said, "Maybe it does. I've seen it a few times, but it's not the real bottom."
Lin Moyu was speechless. What does it mean to have seen it a few times but not the real bottom?
Since Shuizhi Tianzun said so, there must be a reason.
Thinking back to his own attempts to find the seabed, it seemed laughable.
Lin Moyu asked, "Haven't you tried to find it?"
Shuizhi Tianzun shook his head, "Can't go. The Sea of Realms beyond 500,000 meters is very dangerous. Old Turtle hasn't lived enough yet."
Lin Moyu knew that, in most cases, the danger level of the Sea of Realms could be distinguished by depth.
Depth is like a territory range. Within 10,000 meters of the sea surface is the activity range of Other Shore and Saint Supreme fish schools.
Between 10,000 meters and 500,000 meters is the activity range of Supreme fish schools.
Beyond 500,000 meters, Tianzun-level fish schools appear.
However, this distance is currently beyond Lin Moyu's exploration capability, so he doesn't care.
Tianzun-level fish schools rarely swim up, and under normal circumstances, Lin Moyu wouldn't encounter them.
Shuizhi Tianzun claims to be the manager of this sea area, but it actually only manages the area above 500,000 meters.
The area below is not under its control, nor does it have the ability to manage it.
After all, it is just one, while fish schools come in groups.
According to it, hunting Tianzun-level fish schools might yield fourth-tier origin crystals.
However, the danger is too high and not worth it.
...
In a certain place in the Southern Continent, a purple glow descended from the sky like a waterfall, enveloping a mountain range and making it look resplendent.
Within the mountain range, peaks floated in mid-air, also bathed in the purple glow.
This was the location of the Luozi Sect, a well-known sect in the area, attracting many who wished to join.
A giant whale flew in from the distant sky. The Southern Continent was sunny and open, unlike the Sea of Realms, which was perpetually shrouded in dark clouds.
The whale, over a million meters long, descended from the sky, seen by many.
Curious onlookers wanted to investigate, but before they could get close, they were repelled by the whale's pressure, retreating in fear.
Even Tianzuns were no exception.
The whale's pressure surpassed that of a Tianzun, reaching the Daoist level.
Although they couldn't get close, many followed from afar, wanting to see where the whale was headed.
Soon, someone deduced that the whale was heading towards the Luozi Sect.
The whale's speed was deceptively fast, and in the blink of an eye, it arrived above the Luozi Sect.
The whale descended, and the million-meter-long behemoth pressed down from the sky.
Purple light surged from the Luozi Sect, activating countless formations, but they were ineffective. Before the whale, all formations crumbled upon contact.
Peaks suspended in mid-air fell, and the once majestic and splendid Luozi Sect was instantly in ruins.
"Scoundrel!"
Amidst the roars, terrifying auras soared into the sky, and countless Tianzuns rushed out from the sect.
The whale let out a piercing scream, and screams followed as people fell like rain.
The Tianzuns who had just rushed up all fell without exception.
This scene made the distant onlookers' hearts pound.
The power of a Daoist was fully displayed.
No matter how strong the Tianzuns were or how many there were, they couldn't withstand a Daoist.
"Stop!"
Amidst the roars, the Luozi Sect's Sect Master, dressed in a purple robe, charged towards the whale.
He wielded a purple whip, striking at the whale.
Everyone knew that the Luozi Sect's Sect Master had half-step Daoist cultivation and was unrivaled in this area.
It could be said that without a Daoist, he was the strongest.
Unfortunately, no matter how strong he was, he was still a Tianzun.
The whale nonchalantly flicked its tail, creating countless tail shadows in the air, sending the Luozi Sect's Sect Master flying back at an even faster speed.
He crashed into a mountain range, causing the ground to shake and the mountain range to collapse.
In an instant, the Luozi Sect was reduced to ruins.
The Luozi Sect's Sect Master flew out from the ruins, looking extremely disheveled. His luxurious purple robe was tattered.
It was a good treasure robe, but it couldn't withstand a casual strike from a Daoist.
He no longer had his previous imposing manner, his eyes showing a hint of fear, "Senior Daoist, why such heavy-handedness against my Luozi Sect?"
The whale's cold gaze swept over, "By the King's order, to teach the Luozi Sect a lesson. The King has a message for you."
The King of the Sea Race, the Luozi Sect's Sect Master was shocked, "It's that being!"
He dared not show any disrespect, "I am all ears."
The whale's deep voice echoed, "In the world competition, life and death are determined by fate. No outsiders are allowed to interfere. This is ironclad law."
"Since your Luozi Sect has chosen to participate in this game, you must abide by the rules."
"This is your first offense, a minor punishment as a warning. If it happens again, your sect will be annihilated!"
The whale's words were heavy and oppressive, each word like a heavy punch on everyone's heart.
Even the distant onlooking Tianzuns felt extremely uncomfortable.
They knew this was the Daoist's Dao Law, akin to an oath.
Only now did they understand that the whale came because the Luozi Sect had violated the rules of the world competition.
The whale was clearly saying, if you can't play, don't play. If you play, you must follow the rules.
After delivering the message, the whale turned and left, quickly disappearing into the horizon.
The Luozi Sect's Sect Master looked at the devastated sect, his voice filled with anger, "What happened while I was in seclusion?"
