Chapter 1037: Moon Goddess Scandal

A scandal?A scandal involving the Realm King of a King Realm?Could someone of his stature really be involved in a scandal?

Mu Xuanyin, her eyes like cold stars, recounted, "The Moon God Realm King has been in power for many years, with numerous women and descendants, yet he has never had a formal wife."

Yun Che nodded, fully understanding. For a figure like the Moon God Realm King, who stood at the pinnacle of the entire Chaos, his consort, if not his equal in status, should at least be very close. However, given the Moon God Realm King's supreme position, such a woman would be incredibly difficult to find.

"Decades ago, rumors suddenly began circulating in the God Realm that the Moon God Realm King was about to take a wife. Later, these rumors became reality, and the Moon God Realm began sending out invitations to the various Realm Kings of the God Realm for the Realm King's grand wedding."

"Decades ago?" Yun Che was startled. "He announced his marriage and sent out invitations decades ago... So what was happening now?"

"It was also after that," Mu Xuanyin asked, turning to Yun Che, "that the entire God Realm learned the Moon God Realm King was to marry a woman possessing an immaculate divine body! Che'er, have you ever heard of an immaculate divine body?"

Yun Che shook his head. "To be chosen as the formal wife by the Moon God Realm King, and for the news to spread so early, it feels like there was an intention to show off... This immaculate divine body must be an incredibly remarkable physique."

"Hmph, you're absolutely right. Back then, the Moon God Realm King indeed intended to show off. Because this immaculate divine body hadn't appeared in the God Realm for over 150,000 years. How could the Moon God Realm King not boast after acquiring such a treasure?" Mu Xuanyin said coldly.

"..." Yun Che's mouth hung open.

"Do you know what Primordial Aura is?" Mu Xuanyin suddenly asked.

Yun Che nodded. "This disciple knows. Primordial Aura is the most primitive and powerful spiritual energy in the Chaos, and also the source of power for the ancient gods."

"Correct." Appearing slightly surprised that Yun Che, originating from the lower realms, knew about Primordial Aura, Mu Xuanyin glanced at him for a moment before continuing, "The greatest reason the ancient gods and devils were so powerful is that they were born at the dawn of Chaos, at the very beginning of the Primordial Era. Being born amidst the purest and densest Primordial Aura granted them true divine power and divine physiques, which are now extinct."

"After the extinction of the gods and devils, there were no longer any true gods in the world. The reason for this is that the Primordial Aura gradually became thinner and more turbid, making it naturally impossible for the era of true gods to ever reappear in the Chaotic World."

"However... although it has become extremely rare, in the vast Chaos, there are still traces of pure Primordial Aura. This pure Primordial Aura is attracted to the life essence of newborns in their most pristine state. Therefore, if a lucky individual happens to come into contact with pure Primordial Aura within a hundred breaths of birth, that wisp of pure Primordial Aura will merge with their body, thus forming an immaculate divine body!"

"Ah... I see." Yun Che was stunned. No wonder it was called a 'divine body'—it was formed by the purest Primordial Aura, the very same energy that nurtured true divine power in ancient times. "So, if one could sense or locate pure Primordial Aura in advance and then have a baby born nearby, could this immaculate divine body be created?"

"Hmph, what a joke," Mu Xuanyin scoffed. "Leaving aside the extreme scarcity of pure Primordial Aura in the current Chaotic World, how could power of that level be sensed by a mortal body?! Even the Dragon Monarch of the Dragon God Realm, universally acknowledged as the strongest in Chaos, cannot possibly sense the existence of Primordial Aura, let alone its pure form."

"Oh, I see."

Yun Che suddenly remembered that Jasmine had once mentioned, during one of his breakthroughs with the Great Way of the Buddha, that if he could cultivate it to the tenth stage, he would absorb not ordinary spiritual energy, but — Primordial Aura!

However, Jasmine had also said that even her elder brother had only cultivated the Great Way of the Buddha to the sixth stage, which was already the limit attainable by humans.

Therefore, the idea of absorbing Primordial Aura... was merely a fantasy.

"Such immaculate divine bodies are always a gift from heaven. Throughout the vast God Realm, their appearance is exceedingly rare and becoming even rarer. Initially, one might appear every ten thousand years in the God Realm, but later, it became every tens of thousands of years."

"And before the woman the Moon God Realm King was to marry, an immaculate divine body hadn't appeared in the God Realm for a full 150,000 years. For a figure like the Moon God Realm King, she was a heaven-sent treasure. Although her origin was humble, her selection as the Moon God Realm King's formal wife surprised no one. Hmph, I imagine the Kings of other King Realms were quite envious."

"So, this immaculate divine body must be extraordinarily powerful. Is it because her inherent talent far surpasses that of ordinary people, or..." Yun Che's voice softened, "is it suitable for dual cultivation?"

"Neither. Possessing an immaculate divine body doesn't significantly alter one's physique, nor does it greatly aid in cultivation. However, it can considerably extend one's lifespan. As for dual cultivation, it's entirely useless."

Mu Xuanyin's answer stunned Yun Che.

"How could power of the Primordial Aura's level, which cannot even be sensed, be absorbed by a mortal body?" Mu Xuanyin continued. "An immaculate divine body only exists in females. Although its power is not absorbed by the bearer, any child conceived within her body, from the very first moment of their existence, is immersed in pure Primordial Aura... While they cannot compare to the gods born in Primordial Aura at the dawn of Chaos, their nature is similar."

Upon hearing this, Yun Che finally understood. "So, the descendants of a woman with an immaculate divine body will possess extremely high talent?"

"More than just extremely high talent," Mu Xuanyin replied. "Even if it's just a faint wisp, it is still pure Primordial Aura. A child conceived within it and born will have their life, body, and profound veins influenced by it, not only possessing supremely high talent but also having a high probability of developing unique physiques—possibly even bringing forth unique physiques that have long been extinct."

"Just like the gods who developed various divine powers and divine bodies from the Primordial Aura in ancient times."

"Unique... physiques?" These words went beyond Yun Che's comprehension.

"Especially the first child born, whose talent and physique are bound to be world-shattering. Although these qualities will diminish with each generation as the Primordial Aura gradually dissipates, they will still be far beyond what ordinary people can achieve."

Mu Xuanyin glanced at Yun Che and uttered a shocking statement: "In the history of the God Realm, every first-born descendant of a woman with an immaculate divine body—excluding those who died prematurely due to various accidents—eventually reached the Divine Master Realm. Moreover, half of them achieved strength comparable to that of a King Realm King—without exception!"

"..." Yun Che was stunned. Her words made him fully understand why the Moon God Realm King would "show off."

Furthermore... it had been a full 150,000 years since one last appeared.

The vast God Realm itself had a history of less than a million years.

"So what happened next... why did it become a scandal?" Yun Che already had some suspicions. "If it was called a scandal, could it be...?"

"The woman with the immaculate divine body was rumored to have been born in a lower star realm located on the edge of the Eastern Divine Region. Her original name was unknown, but upon entering the Moon God Realm, the Moon God Realm King personally bestowed upon her the name 'Yue Wugou.'"

"For that grand wedding, the Moon God Realm sent invitations to all King Realms and high-level Star Gods in the Eastern Divine Region, and even to some King Realms in other divine regions. The preparations were incredibly grand, and several times, the entire Eastern Divine Region was informed with sky-shaking announcements. At that time, no one in the Eastern Divine Region was unaware that the Moon God Realm King was about to take a woman with an immaculate divine body as his wife."

"However, with less than ten days remaining until the wedding, and many Realm Kings from high-level star realms already having arrived early at the Moon God Realm... Yue Wugou insisted on personally escorting her birth parents to the Moon God Realm. But an accident occurred on the way; all the Moon God Envoys protecting her were killed, their bodies left behind, while Yue Wugou herself vanished."

"Ah?" Yun Che gasped softly. "Someone actually dared to provoke the Moon God Realm in such a way?!"

"Undoubtedly, the Moon God Realm King was furious. However, the corpses of the tragically killed Moon God Envoys showed no clues; even with the Moon God Realm's power, they couldn't ascertain what force had killed them. Yue Wugou had vanished without a trace, and after a long search, the Moon God Realm King finally gave up hope. This grand wedding, which had shaken the entire Eastern Divine Region, directly came to nothing. In its rage, the Moon God Realm quickly pointed its finger at the Star God Realm—because only the Star God Realm, with its long-standing enmity, could have committed such an act."

"It wouldn't be too surprising for the Star God Realm to send assassins after Yue Wugou. If anyone is to blame, it's the Moon God Realm King for being too arrogant and careless."

Mu Xuanyin said coldly, her tone clearly indicating her belief that the Star God Realm was responsible.

"But at most, this is a tragedy, not even a joke. How could it be called a scandal?" Yun Che asked, puzzled.

"That's because—everyone thought Yue Wugou was dead. But seven years later, Yue Wugou returned, coming back to the Moon God Realm herself."

"However..." Mu Xuanyin's eyes narrowed slightly. "Although the returned Yue Wugou was unharmed, her primordial yin energy had vanished, and the immaculate aura unique to her divine body had weakened to less than twenty percent. The reason, of course, was obvious—during the years she was missing, her primordial yin had not only been taken, but she had also given birth to children, possibly more than one!"

"..." Yun Che's mouth dropped open. "Unbelievable! It was really like that!"

The woman the Moon God Realm King had invited the whole realm to witness him marry... had been slept with by someone else! And had even given birth to children!

The dignified Moon God Realm King, standing at the apex of Chaos, the most terrifying figure in the world... had actually been cuckolded!

For the Moon God Realm King, it would have been better if Yue Wugou had simply died.

"Then... who was that man?" Yun Che asked, eyes wide.

"Hmph, the Moon God Realm King wants to know who that person is even more than you do. But, interestingly, Yue Wugou would rather die than tell. It's said that the reason the Moon God Realm couldn't find her was because, although she miraculously survived, she was severely wounded and lost all her profound energy during those seven years, leaving no trace to track. She only returned to the Moon God Realm voluntarily because her profound energy suddenly recovered, and she feared being found by them."

"So, she actually returned to protect that man... and the child, or children," Yun Che said.

Good heavens! Who *was* that man? Not only did he cuckold the Moon God Realm King, but he also made Yue Wugou willing to face death alone and remain silent to protect him... That man was absolutely incredible!

"Indeed! Although the Moon God Realm King was enraged, he seemingly still held some lingering affection and didn't kill Yue Wugou. Instead, he imprisoned her, vowing to keep her locked away forever unless she revealed the identity of that man."

"This Yue Wugou truly is a woman of strong character and deep affection," Yun Che sighed inwardly.

"Yue Wugou's return, and the fact that she had lost her primordial yin, should have been an absolute secret, forbidden from outsiders. But for some reason, the matter quickly spread. Hmph, a scandal, of course, only grows with each telling. Within three months, it had spread throughout almost all the other divine regions. After that, although the Moon God Realm and the Star God Realm continued to clash openly and secretly, the Moon God Realm King himself never appeared again."

Knowing the full story, Yun Che actually felt a touch of sympathy for the Moon God Realm King... He had found a woman with an immaculate divine body, proudly announced it to the world with great fanfare, and was about to have a magnificent wedding, only to be utterly cuckolded. And Yue Wugou, for the sake of the man who had wronged him, was willing to be imprisoned forever, never to see the light of day. This would be an unbearable humiliation for any man... let alone the dignified Realm King of the Moon God Realm!
