Chapter 2135
While Lin Mu could read what the skill in the jade slip was and what its quality was, he didn't know anything about the origins ofthe skill. It wasn't mentioned in the jade slip and left him wondering why the others were surprised.
"What is the Eight Valleys Immortal Sect?" Lin Mu questioned.
"The Eight Valleys Immortal Sect was one of the top sects of the Eastern Immortal Court about two hundred thousand yearsago." Crown Prince Feng Shun answered. "They were massively successful and were quite widespread, having control overeighty Immortal worlds and having their branches in over a thousand Mortal worlds." He added.
"What? That's a lot." Lin Mu couldn't help but be surprised.
He knew that bigger Immortal Sects often had branches in Mortal worlds, but it was rare for them to be spread in so manyworlds. Even a hundred worlds would be a big number, not to mention a thousand of them. Then there was also the fact that theyhad control over Eighty Immortal Worlds too.
That was an even bigger achievement than the thousand Mortal World.
After all, to have control over a mortal world, all they needed to do was establish a branch and keep on supplying them with goodresources to maintain their superiority. But doing that in the Immortal realm wasn't exactly easy since other powers would alsohave access to such resources.
Then there would also be resistance from the powers of the Immortal realm, making it harder for them to spread their influence.As such, the only way one could spread their influence over Immortal worlds would be to take it slow and grow their ranks thereor support existing powers on those worlds before taking over them, eventually. Doing anything forcefully was not a good optionfor them either, as it would easily bring the ire of the other powers of the Immortal realm as well as the Immortal Court itself. TheImmortal court had their own allies too and if some Immortal worlds asked them for help, they would be obliged to help up toacertain extent.
“How is there one of their skills here?" Crown Princess Shang couldn't help but ask. "| thought they had been destroyed longago." It was clear that other than Crown Prince Feng Shun and Ziran, others also seemed to know of the Eight Valleys ImmortalSect.
"| don't know." Crown Prince Feng Shun replied. "But if their skill is here, it means this place has been here since before thedestruction of the Eight Valleys Immortal Sect." He added.
"What happened to them?" Lin Mu wondered. "If they had such great influence, it wouldn't have been easy for them to bedestroyed." He added.
"It was a tragedy." Crown Prince Feng Shun spoke. "The Eight Valleys Immortal Sect became the target of someone that wasvery dreadful. He was known as the Great Domain Violator and had destroyed many sects and powers before.” He explained.
"The Great Domain Violator?" Lin Mu couldn't help but find the name a bit irksome.
“He would infiltrate the powers and destroy them from within... Sowing discord and distrust among their members, which lead togreat malice spreading in their ranks. This would then further turn into conflicts that could not be resolved easily.
Over time, they would only grow until a war would breakout within their branches. Elders would fight elders and disciples wouldkill other disciples." Crown Prince Feng Shun explained.
His voice held a certain level of dread for it all, showing that it was certainly not something that was easy to talk about. It showedjust how much fear that person had sowed into the history, causing it to be passed down to people in the future.
"The abbot once spoke about this too." Monk Hushu said, his brows furrowed in displeasure. "He said that the Great DomainViolator had tried to do the same with a few of the Buddhist powers, too. If | recall correctly, the Qingmeng Buddhist Sect and theChrysanthemum Arhat Island perished in the actions of the Great Domain Violator too.
This caused great distress to the Buddhist Alliance and the Great Domain Violator was deemed as a sworn enemy of the entireBuddhist alliance. His future attempts at infiltrating the powers of the Buddhist Alliance were foiled, but came at a great cost.
The people he corrupted could not be redeemed and had to be killed." He explained.
Hearing Monk Hushu's words, Lin Mu now understood that the fear caused by the Great Domain Violator was something deeperthan just a threat. It was the man's ability to destroy the very origins of a power.
“How did he do all that?" Lin Mu questioned. "And did he do it alone?" he asked since their worlds made it seem like it was alldone solo.
“He had many methods, but the most common ones were temptations." Crown Prince Feng Shun answered this time. "TheGreat Domain Violator had access to unorthodox techniques and skills that, of course, offered a shortcut to breakthroughs.
It was easy to tempt those of weak hearts and allow them to fall for his ploys. But it was all a trap, as the techniques and skills heoffered were nothing but curses. They would bound those that use them to him, eventually.
We don't have the details, but the powers that he offered did not come a simple cost... it came at the cost of one's soul. It wouldburn the essence of the soul in exchange for a stronger cultivation base.
And when they were doing this, a lot of side effects would pop up. Side effects that could only be suppressed by the GreatDomain Violator. As such, even if one was a Transcendent Immortal, they would be a slave to his whims unless they wished todie in the end." He explained in detail.
Lin Mu listened to it carefully, and realized that there were still some things that did not exactly add up.
“Wait... Considering he's done this multiple times, how did others not realize it?" Lin Mu questioned. "And he was manipulatingthe different people within the sects, right? Would they not eventually realize they were using the same kind of techniques andskills?" he expressed his doubts.
“Most of the time they were too blinded by power, while in some cases they only realized too late." Crown Prince Feng Shunreplied.
"That's not all. The Great Domain Violator was also a master of disguise. Not just in terms of appearance, but even thetechniques and skills themselves. somehow he was able to change the outward aspects of the techniques, making one thinkthey did not match.
But in reality, the core of the technique and skills would remain the same." Ziran chimed in. "It took them a long time to figure outthat the Great Domain Violator was also well versed in formations, being able to freely modify techniques as he wished.” Herevealed.
Lin Mu obviously knew that in order to make a new cultivation technique, some level of mastery of the formations was neededsince cultivation techniques often relied on the creation of Qi circuits and channels that determined how the technique wouldwork. And the application of these would be used to create Qi skills.
But he also knew that to modify thecultivation techniques to the extentthat the Great Domain Violator didwas also not eed Ieeded amaster ofmnbre than formations...one would have to have studiedhundreds of thousands of cultivationtechniques and skills, throughlyunderstanding them and theirworkings before being able to makeany changes.

“But they didn’t manage to kill him?" Lin Mu understood from his words.
