Chapter 1275: God Moon in the Sky

Mù Huànzhī nodded and said, "This trip to the Moon God Realm might be the only chance you'll ever get in this life. Remember to be cautious in your words and actions, and do not make any improper moves. Otherwise, even if the Sect Master were here, they wouldn't be able to save you!"

The disciples of the Ice Phoenix responded, their faces alight with poorly concealed excitement. To them, the King Realm was like a celestial palace, visible but unattainable. Now, not only were they fortunate enough to enter the Brahma Heaven Realm due to the Profound God Convention, but they were also invited into the Moon God Realm. This was truly an immense stroke of luck.

"Will Master go?" Yun Che whispered.

Mu Bingyun replied, "Your Master avoided the Profound God Convention because she didn't want to expose her current cultivation level. Naturally, she won't enter the Moon God Realm either."

Yun Che looked disappointed and said softly, "Unconsciously, it's been so long since I left the sect. I miss Master a bit. Once I enter the Brahma Heaven Pearl, I won't be able to see her for another three thousand years."

Mu Bingyun glanced at him, her icy eyes filled with poorly concealed complex emotions. Then, she suddenly paused, "You said you're going to enter the Brahma Heaven Pearl?"

"Yes," Yun Che nodded. "She enlightened me. The 'tremors' I caused during the Conferred God Battle were far more serious than I imagined. My current situation isn't about whether I *want* to enter the Brahma Heaven Pearl, but that I *must*."

Mu Bingyun fell silent, then nodded slightly. "She's right. Your Master will certainly agree with your decision. As for your 'homeland'..."

Yun Che had been brought away from the Azure Cloud Continent by Mu Bingyun, so she naturally knew about the "five-year pact" he had made with the Little Demon Empress and the others. She pondered for a moment, then said gently, "I'll find a way to inform them."

In the distance, one pillar of light after another glowed. The Moon God Realm's wedding ceremony, which seemed almost intended to shock the entire world, made the scale of this spatial teleportation extremely vast. Although led by the Brahma Heaven God Realm, the energy consumption for the spatial teleportation would naturally be borne by the Moon God Realm.

Even for a King Realm like the Moon God Realm, such a large-scale teleportation was a significant expense.

After a relatively short wait, Mù Huànzhī led the Snow Song disciples into one of the dimensional profound formations and were teleported to another King Realm in the Eastern Divine Region.

Moreover, this time, they weren't teleported to the outskirts of the Moon God Realm, but directly inside it, right in front of the Divine Moon City, the core royal city of the Moon God Realm.

The aura of each King Realm was different, but the spiritual energy was always incredibly rich and pure, incomparable to ordinary star realms. Standing before Divine Moon City, gazing at the enormous city gates, tens of thousands of feet high and radiating a brilliant moonlight glow, countless profound practitioners from the Eastern Divine Region stood dumbfounded, their shock immeasurable.

Compared to the Star God Realm and Brahma Heaven God Realm that Yun Che had visited, the lighting in the Moon God Realm was noticeably dimmer by several shades, yet this made the moonlight radiating from all the buildings appear even more sacred and dazzling. The ground was paved with moonlight stones, and each step traversed a dreamlike field of light.

While the Star God Realm was filled with countless shimmering starlight, the Moon God Realm seemed perpetually bathed in the purest and brightest moonlight. Those who first arrived in the Moon God Realm would instinctively believe they had suddenly stepped into a mysterious illusion.

"So this is the Moon God Realm..." Yun Che couldn't help but exclaim. "It's like entering a world from an entirely different dimension."

"The Moon God Realm believes in the power of the Divine Moon," Mu Bingyun explained to Yun Che. "The core reason it became a King Realm is its 'inheritable' Moon God power."

Yun Che said, "When I was in the Star God Realm, I heard her mention that the Star God Realm believes in the power of the stars, and most importantly, the 'inheritable' Star God power. In this respect, the Star God Realm and the Moon God Realm are very similar."

It was perfectly normal for Jasmine not to attend this wedding. Her birth mother had died because of the Moon God Realm. Consequently, Jasmine harbored a deep hatred for the Moon God Realm.

"The Star God Realm and Moon God Realm are similar in more ways than just that. Many aspects of the two realms are almost identical."

Yun Che: "Huh?"

Mu Bingyun recounted, "According to records, during the Era of Gods, both the Star Gods and Moon Gods were conferred by Mò'è, the Heaven Punishing God Emperor and chief of the Creation Gods. There were twelve Star Gods and twelve Moon Gods, all under his command. Their status in the Era of Gods was extremely high, and the divine power they left behind was naturally immense, capable of being 'inherited' through compatible 'vessels' across generations."

This was the first time Yun Che had heard any of this.

"The Star God Emperor was one of the Star Gods, and the Moon God Emperor was also one of the Moon Gods. Each Star God had their Star Guardians, and similarly, each Moon God had their Moon Guardians. The method and manner of succession for each generation of Star Gods and Moon Gods were also identical."

In other words, apart from their core powers being different—one being "Star God power" and the other "Moon God power"—the Star God Realm and Moon God Realm were practically indistinguishable.

"Two King Realms so similar, yet instead of loving each other like siblings, they became sworn enemies," Yun Che shook his head, looking regretful.

"Power and structure can be similar, but human hearts can never be identical. Conflicts at the King Realm level are not for us to comment on," Mu Bingyun said calmly. "Let's go in."

As soon as Mu Bingyun finished speaking, the surroundings suddenly brightened. A layer of radiant light, seemingly from nowhere, cascaded down, covering the entire world in a brilliant, shimmering glow.

Yun Che instinctively looked up. Around him, a chorus of gasps and exclamations arose at that moment, long and unbroken.

In the distant sky, a luminous white moon had appeared at some unknown point. It hung directly above Divine Moon City, its moonlight pale, rich, and gentle, illuminating the entire city, transforming it into a fantastical Moon City, as if in a deep dream.

"The Divine Moon hangs high! It's the Divine Moon hanging high!"

Countless identical exclamations reached Yun Che's ears. Beside him, Mu Bingyun gazed at the moon in the sky and softly murmured, "The Divine Moon hangs high..."

"What is 'the Divine Moon hanging high'?" Yun Che asked.

The Divine Moon in the sky continued to rise slowly, but its glow, instead of weakening, grew even more intense. Standing beneath this divine moon, the entire world became mysterious and ethereal.

Yun Che didn't know that the moonlight from this divine moon not only enveloped Divine Moon City but also bathed tens of thousands of miles of surrounding starfields in its glow.

Nearby star realms began to perceive the change in light. They looked up and immediately saw the divine moon in the sky. Gradually, eventually, almost every star realm and every corner of the Eastern Divine Region could see a divine moon hanging high in the direction of the Moon God Realm, emitting a moonlight more pristine and dreamlike than that of a real moon.

It seemed to be announcing to the Eastern Divine Region, and even the entire God Realm, that something major was about to happen in the Moon God Realm.

"The 'Divine Moon hanging high' has only appeared twice in history," Mu Bingyun said, withdrawing her gaze and whispering to Yun Che. "The first time was when the Moon God Realm was established."

"The second time was when the Moon God Realm announced its status as a King Realm of the Eastern Divine Region."

"This is the third time."

Yun Che turned his gaze, a look of astonishment on his face.

"The moonlight from this divine moon, capable of covering the entire Eastern Divine Region, requires the combined power of all twelve Moon Gods to achieve. Records show that it only appears when a major event concerning the Moon God Realm's destiny occurs, serving to announce it to the world. Both previous instances of the 'Divine Moon hanging high' were for such occasions."

"And today, on the day of the Moon God Emperor's wedding, 'the Divine Moon hanging high' has actually appeared." Mu Bingyun's gaze became solemn. "This wedding was already exceptionally high-profile, drawing countless whispered discussions. Now, it appears to be even more extraordinary than anyone previously imagined."

"The core of all this, without a doubt, is that mysterious Divine Empress who has never appeared before."

"The Moon God Emperor seems to wish that every living being in the world knew about this new Divine Empress he's marrying," Yun Che remarked, clicking his tongue.

"Not only that," Mu Bingyun continued, "if 'the Divine Moon hanging high' truly only appears when a crucial turning point in the Moon God Realm's destiny occurs, then this new Moon God Divine Empress..."

Mu Bingyun did not continue, instead falling silent. Even she couldn't imagine what kind of woman could cause such a world-announcing change in the destiny of the Moon God Realm, a King Realm of the Eastern Divine Region, a change significant enough to be heralded by the "Divine Moon."

Even if the Moon God Emperor had married a Dragon Empress or a Divine Maiden, even if both were Divine Empresses, it would absolutely not warrant such an event.

The atmosphere grew heavy. All the profound practitioners from the Eastern Divine Region who had been teleported there stood still, gazing at the divine moon in the sky. Their hearts were stirred with the same doubt and shock as Mu Bingyun's, momentarily forgetting to step into the nearby Divine Moon City.

"Even I'm starting to get curious about this Moon God Divine Empress," Yun Che said. As someone who had only been in the God Realm for three years, with virtually no understanding or interest in the Moon God Realm, Yun Che could actually be considered the calmest one facing "the Divine Moon hanging high." He casually guessed, "Palace Master Bingyun, is there a female Realm King of a King Realm in any divine region? Could the Moon God Emperor be marrying a King Realm's Realm King?"

"A marriage between two Realm Kings of different realms... that should certainly be a major event capable of changing a King Realm's destiny."

"We'll know soon enough," Mu Bingyun said. "Let's go in. Great Elder, please make sure to protect the disciples. This is the Moon God Realm, not an ordinary place."

Mu Xuanyin's task for Mu Bingyun had always been to look after Yun Che alone.

Divine Moon City was not particularly large, but it was the core city of a King Realm, a holy land among holy lands in the God Realm. Walking through it, even Realm Kings who had experienced countless changes and eras would instinctively slow their steps and moderate their breathing, let alone the young profound practitioners who had never before dared to dream of entering the Moon God Realm.

All the Snow Song disciples clung closely behind their respective elders and palace masters. They constantly peered around, filled with both excitement and trepidation. In the Snow Song Realm, they were elite Divine Phoenix disciples, admired and envied by all profound practitioners. But they knew very well that entering Divine Moon City in the Moon God Realm, even just breathing its air, was like a divine blessing to them.

Bathed in the Divine Moon's glow, the Snow Song contingent arrived at the wedding venue. The two individuals greeting guests at the very front wore similar light silver armor. Their seemingly calm eyes, however, exuded a terrifying keenness. As their gazes swept over the disciples, an unnerving majesty, not deliberately released yet still horrifying, made all the Snow Song disciples stiffen, their blood almost ceasing to flow.

"These two are the Moon Guardians of the Moon God Realm," Mu Bingyun whispered.

Moon Guardians belonged to the various Moon Gods or Moon God Envoys. Although they were merely guards, they held extremely high status. In the Moon God Realm, they were second only to the Moon Gods and Moon God Envoys, equivalent to the Star Guardians in the Star God Realm.

To be a Moon Guardian, one's cultivation had to be at least at the Divine King Realm, equivalent to a Realm King of a lower realm. High-ranking Moon Guardians capable of serving close to the Moon Gods were all Divine Sovereigns! Any one of them could rival a Realm King of a middle-tier star realm.

Such was the terrifying power of a King Realm.

Given the Moon God Emperor's status, it was naturally impossible for him to personally greet guests. Sending two major Moon Guardians to welcome guests was already enough to make most profound practitioners tremble in fear or even feel overwhelmed with honor.

Mu Bingyun stepped forward, bowed slightly, and presented both the invitation and the gift to the two Moon Guardians.

The Moon Guardians accepted the gift, scanned the invitation with their divine sense, their expressions unchanged. "Welcome, esteemed guests from Snow Song. Please feel free to take any available seats inside."

When guests from King Realms and Upper Star Realms arrived, Moon Guardians would announce them loudly, and special attendants would escort them. Guests from King Realms were welcomed into the main hall, where the Moon God Emperor personally greeted them. Guests from Upper Star Realms could enter the outer hall, where two Moon God Envoys would receive them.

As for guests from Middle and Lower Star Realms, they would neither be announced nor allowed into the main or outer halls; instead, they were free to take seats outside the outer hall.

Such blatant preferential treatment never caused any resentment or complaints, because the strong were entitled to the treatment of the strong, and the weak were expected to endure the treatment of the weak. This was the most fundamental rule of survival in the God Realm, and in any plane of existence.

Mu Bingyun nodded slightly and led the Snow Song group inside. At that moment, one of the Moon Guardians' eyebrows suddenly twitched: *Snow Song Realm?*

"Wait!" The Moon Guardian turned around, a hint of urgency in his voice, his gaze falling directly on Yun Che. "Is this Young Master Yun Che?"

Yun Che turned, nodded, and said, "That is me. How may I help you?"

Upon confirming his identity, the two Moon Guardians, who had previously been indifferent, quickly stepped forward and bowed deeply. "The Divine Emperor personally instructed that Young Master Yun is an esteemed guest and should enter the main hall."
