Chapter 2137 The Shadow Gloom Bone Lord's Past

The Crown Prince's words were concerning to them while Lin Mu furrowed his brows in slight confusion.
"What do you mean by that? The Shadow Gloom Bone Lord has never targeted any Mortal world before?" he questioned.
"Indeed. Even if he was that powerful, he still has the same restrictions as us and cannot easily descend to the Mortal Realm." Crown Prince Feng Shun answered.
"Besides, he has no reason to do that." Monk Hushu chimed in. "From what I've been told by the Abbot, the Shadow Gloom Bone Lord's goal in taking over worlds was to absorb the power of the world itself. A Mortal world would not be worth his time and effort, not to mention descending to the Mortal World would greatly weaken its powers too." He added.
"That's strange… why did the Shadow Gloom Bone Lord come to my world then?" Lin Mu couldn't figure it out exactly. He knew that there was involvement of some smugglers in it as well as the merchant from the Indigo World Hegemony, but he didn't know if it was the will of the Shadow Gloom Bone Lord himself.
"If he had chosen to go to a Mortal World, it probably means he had no other choice left." Lady Kang guessed. "He has been targeted everywhere in the Immortal realm and cannot live freely within the influence of the Immortal Court. And with his powers running low, he probably had to pick a mortal world at that point." She explained.
"That does seem likely." Monk Hushu nodded before turning to Crown Prince. "The records show that his avatars significantly decreased from five thousand years ago right?" he asked.
"Yes." Crown Prince Feng Shun nodded. "After that there had only been three of his avatars being spotted and eliminated in the Immortal realm." He added.
But Lin Mu picked up that something was missing there. "What happened five thousand years ago?" Lin Mu questioned.
"The official records state that the Shadow Gloom Bone Lord's main body was destroyed five thousand years ago." Crown Prince Feng Shun ordered.
"Huh? The Immortal Court did it?" Lin Mu asked.
"No… The one above the Immortal Court did it." Crown Prince Feng Shun replied.
"What do you mean?" Lin Mu asked, slight dread rising in his heart.
"After the Great Domain Violator became the Shadow Gloom Bone Lord, he managed to survive at the expenses of losing his humanity and getting weaker. But this new form of his also granted him other abilities that he did not have in his human form.
It also added new conditions to his existence that demanded that he consume more than just Qi and vitality to survive… The Shadow Gloom Bone Lord needed the powers of the World itself to sustain itself. And when he started to consume the worlds, his power grew quite fast. Eventually it reached a point where he broke through his original limits and became a Celestial!" Crown Prince Feng Shun revealed, making Lin Mu shocked.
"He was a Celestial too?" Lin Mu hadn't expected that.
"Indeed. He moved onto the Celestial Realm, but his avatars were still spread around in the Immortal World, growing and expanding his influence while maintaining his power here." Crown Prince Feng Shun replied.
"He had absorbed over a hundred worlds in the Farlands particularly back then." Ziran chimed in. "There was an avatar that invaded one of the world's near my wife's worlds. But he was killed swiftly by the powers present there along with the Temple of the Four Guardian beasts." He added.
"The Shadow Gloom Bone Lord caused trouble for the powers of the Celestial Realm too, garnering enmity from them. Several Great powers were infuriated and couldn't take it anymore." Monk Hushu narrated. "His Growing Influence had to be curbed, and thus many celestial powers banded together to eliminated the main body of the Shadow Gloom Bone Lord, ending his influence in the Celestial Realm." He revealed.
"I see…" Lin Mu could now put together a decently large picture in his mind.
He understood the time line of it all and where it linked with his own events as well as what was the involvement of the Serpent Moon Sect in it.
'So the Saintess and the Serpent Moon Sect became enemies with him back then.' Lin Mu reckoned. Lin Mu could easily imagine the Shadow Gloom Bone Lord attempting to take over one of the worlds under the influence of the Serpent Moon sect and then offending them. From the Saintess's demeanor it certainly did not seem like she would be very forgiving with that which lead to him getting attacked.
Though it was a bit surprising to Lin Mu that it had happened only five thousand years ago.
It was a long time for him, but for most immortals it was not that much. To people like Lady Kang, Ziran and Crown Prince, it may as well have been fifty years of difference comparatively. Two of them were alive at that time and one of them had even seen the fragments of the Shadow Gloom Bone Lord in the past.
"Looks like we have some work to do after we get out of here." Daoists Chu stated. "We need to report the sighting of the Shadow Gloom Bone Lord to the Immortal Court." He spoke.
"I've killed him." Lin Mu stated. "He threatened my entire world and took control over many people…" he gave a short summary of what had happened in the Xiaofan world.
After hearing it, Monk Hushu nodded. "That does sound like what the Shadow Gloom Bone Lord has done in the past. It's his typical mode of operation." "At least it's good that Daoist Mu Lin managed to eliminated the avatar. Though it is surprising that you could do something like that in the Mortal World… Even with his powers suppressed he is not weak." Ziran spoke, feeling impressed.
"I had help… A lot of help from allies." Lin Mu said, fondly recalling the faces of all those that had assisted him.
