# Chapter 1285: Stainless and Boundless
"In the eyes of the world, Father loved pleasure and had countless concubines, yet he never established an Empress. Until one year, roughly a hundred years ago, while passing through a mid-rank star realm, he encountered a woman who touched his heart at first glance."
"He concealed his identity as the Moon God Emperor and remained in that star realm. He originally thought it was just a whim, but the closer he got to that woman, the more deeply he was drawn to her. Days passed... over ten days passed... months passed... and he still didn't want to leave."
"He was the Moon God Emperor. Even while hiding his identity, he could not erase his innate nobility. Everything about him also deeply attracted that woman. They fell for each other, and both fell deeper and deeper..."
"It was from that time onward that Father never again took a concubine... up until now."
The Dun Yue Immortal Palace moved with breathtaking speed, yet inside it was incomparably quiet — not even the slightest sound of air being cut could be heard. Yun Che gazed at Xia Qingyue's breathtakingly beautiful profile, silently listening to her dreamlike narration.
He had guessed who the "woman" Xia Qingyue referred to was.
After that, the Moon God Emperor never again took a concubine... Yun Che fully believed these words. Because the Moon God Emperor's two youngest sons, Yue Huan and Yue Jinxi, were both over a hundred years old. That is to say, the Moon God Emperor might not have merely stopped taking concubines — he might not have touched another woman at all...
"After they had been together for several decades, they each learned the other's greatest secret... She learned that Father was the Moon God Emperor, and Father was startled to discover that she actually possessed a 'Stainless Divine Body' that could shake the world."
So it really was Yue Wugou... Yun Che murmured inwardly.
But... it turned out that the Moon God Emperor hadn't wanted to make her his Empress because she possessed a "Stainless Divine Body" — he had fallen in love with her first, and only then learned of her Stainless Divine Body.
"Later, Father brought her back to the Moon God Realm and announced to the world that he would establish her as the Moon God Empress."
"However, establishing an Empress for a God Emperor was no ordinary matter. As the Emperor of the Moon God Realm, concubines could be taken at will, but the Empress did not belong solely to him — her position also concerned the face of the Moon God Realm. If she were merely an ordinary woman from a mid-rank star realm, forcing her to become Empress would surely be opposed by the entire Moon God Realm, from top to bottom. So Father publicly revealed that she possessed a Stainless Divine Body and renamed her 'Yue Wugou'."
Yun Che's heart trembled violently... So back then, when the Moon God Emperor announced to the world that he would establish a woman with a "Stainless Divine Body" as his Empress, it wasn't to show off — it was... a necessity.
He was not the God Emperor of himself alone, but the God Emperor of the entire Moon God Realm.
"Do you know why Father renamed her 'Yue Wugou'?" Xia Qingyue suddenly asked softly.
Yun Che was startled, then thought and said, "Could it be... not just because of her Stainless Divine Body?"
Xia Qingyue gently shook her head. "The world all believes that the name 'Yue Wugou' was only because she possessed a Stainless Divine Body. But they don't know that the word 'Wugou' (stainless) was Father's way of telling her that his feelings for her had no benefit, no stain — no impurities whatsoever. He wanted to make her his Empress simply because she was who she was, not because of her Stainless Divine Body."
Yun Che: "..."
"Father's original name was 'Yue Wuyai' (boundless). The two names combined together became 'Wugou Wuyai' — Stainless and Boundless — signifying that their feelings had no impurities and would never come to an end."
Stainless and Boundless... Yun Che was deeply shaken. So the Moon God Emperor and Yue Wugou had loved each other that deeply. Their union had nothing to do with "God Emperor" and nothing to do with "Stainless Divine Body."
And yet in the eyes of the world, the Moon God Emperor would only establish a woman from a mid-rank star realm as his Empress because of her "Stainless Divine Body."
This was not unreasonable, after all — the world only wanted to believe what conformed to their own understanding and what they thought.
But if this was the case, then the "tragedy" that followed must have wounded the Moon God Emperor far more deeply than anyone could imagine.
"What happened later, perhaps... you must have heard of it."
Xia Qingyue's chest rose and fell gently. Back then, the "scandal" of the Moon God Realm had swept through the entire God Realm. And behind their relish, schadenfreude, mockery, and ridicule of this "scandal" lay the pain and even despair of her family and the person she respected most...
Yun Che nodded. But even now, he still didn't understand why Xia Qingyue wanted to recount this matter, and how she knew it in such detail.
"Father built the Empress Hall for Yue Wugou and invited guests from all over the world, wanting to give her the most magnificent crowning ceremony. And then... just ten days before their wedding, Yue Wugou returned to the star realm of her origin, intending to personally bring her parents to the Moon God Realm — but was vilely ambushed along the way."
"At that time, to ensure Yue Wugou's safety, Father had not only dispatched a large number of Moon Guards to escort her, but also two powerful Moon Divine Envoys by her side... But those people were too terrifying. All the Moon Guards, and the Moon Divine Envoys as well, were killed."
Moon Divine Envoys were second only to the Moon Gods in the Moon God Realm. To become a Moon Divine Envoy, one must first achieve Divine Lord. In the vast Moon God Realm, there were currently only thirty-six Moon Divine Envoys.
Defeating and killing were two entirely different concepts. To kill two Moon Divine Envoys required at least the level of Star Gods, Moon Gods, or Guardians — and likely more than one.
Thus, this could only be the work of a King Realm. The one with the most reason and motive would be the Star God Realm.
The Moon God Emperor's subsequent mad and deranged vengeance was also directed at the Star God Realm.
Mo Li's mother died because of this...
"Their original intention should have been to capture Yue Wugou alive. But Yue Wugou carried many of the Moon God Realm's most top-grade protective treasures on her person. She escaped their grasp several times and nearly got away. Finally, they decided to kill her... But the fatal blow that should have ended her life was blocked by the 'Moon Heart Disk' that Father had personally worn around her neck. And inside the Moon Heart Disk was a Void Stone."
Even the power that could kill Moon Divine Envoys was blocked by the "Moon Heart Disk" — one could imagine how powerful a protective treasure it was. And when the "Moon Heart Disk" was shattered, the Void Stone inside was also affected.
Clearly, the Moon God Emperor had protected Yue Wugou to the utmost.
"The Moon Heart Disk and the Void Stone inside it were both shattered at the same time, teleporting Yue Wugou to another world completely foreign to her."
The space-teleportation of a Void Stone was completely random and left no spatial traces. Otherwise, if it were an ordinary dimensional stone or dimensional profound artifact, it would surely be easily tracked.
"Where was Yue Wugou teleported to?" Yun Che asked. It seemed no one had ever known the answer to this question, including the Moon God Emperor.
Xia Qingyue's voice was soft and ethereal: "The Tian Xuan Continent."
"Wha... what!?" These four simple words shocked Yun Che so much he nearly jumped up.
Back then, Yue Wugou, who had barely escaped death, was actually teleported to the Tian Xuan Continent?!
Wh-what the hell!?
Yue Wugou was a Divine Way profound practitioner! One palm strike from her could kill several from the Tian Wei Sword Domain and the Sun Moon Divine Palace. How had he never heard of such a figure appearing on the Tian Xuan Continent?
And moreover, she and the Moon God Emperor loved each other so deeply back then, pledging to be "Stainless and Boundless" — why did she get together with another man during this period and even have children?
Xia Qingyue continued: "Although the Moon Heart Disk saved her life, that evil person's strength was too great. She herself was also severely injured and had already fallen unconscious when the Void Stone sent her away... Moreover, she lost all her profound strength and memories."
Yun Che's brows twitched violently... So that's how it was.
This was very similar to Mu Bingyun a thousand years ago. Back then, Mu Bingyun had also lost all her strength and memories due to severe injury and poison, only to recover slowly over time, during which she established the Bing Yun Fairy Palace.
An excessively powerful, nearly fatal profound energy impact could indeed shatter one's profound energy completely and jolt the brain into memory confusion or loss... Both Mu Bingyun and Yue Wugou had suffered near-fatal injuries back then. It wasn't too much of a coincidence that they temporarily lost their strength and memories.
Though both were teleported to the Tian Xuan Continent — that was quite a coincidence.
"She landed in a desolate mountain, unconscious in the heavy snow. No one knows how long she remained unconscious... Then, she was rescued by a passing merchant and brought back to his home."
Hearing this, Yun Che had already guessed that the merchant who found Yue Wugou was probably...
Suddenly, Yun Che's eyes shot wide open.
Heavy snow... merchant... complete memory loss... eternal departure... God Realm of the myriad realms...
Some fragments in his mind collided heavily, then gradually aligned with Xia Qingyue's narration... more and more aligned...
"That... merchant who found Yue Wugou, could it be..." Yun Che's speech became somewhat halting, and he forced out those three words with great difficulty: "Uncle... Xia...?"
He looked at Xia Qingyue's profile, but found her still serene, not shaking her head for a long time.
Yun Che's mouth opened to its widest extent. He pressed both hands under his jaw, using almost all his strength to close it again, then stammered, "You... and Yuanba's mother... is... Yue Wugou!?!"
"Yes." Xia Qingyue finally nodded.
— BOOM —
Yun Che felt as if he had been struck by a club, his mind buzzing loudly.
Xia Hongyi's wife, his mother-in-law, the biological mother of Xia Qingyue and Xia Yuanba, was actually Yue Wugou — the woman who had once shaken the entire Eastern Divine Region and had almost become the Moon God Empress!!
This... the... hell...
Back in the Tian Xuan Continent, Yun Che had known that Xia Qingyue and Xia Yuanba's mother was someone from the God Realm who had left forever after recovering her memories and strength.
But...
Xia Hongyi, an ordinary merchant from Liu Yun City.
Yue Wugou, the Stainless Divine Maiden beloved by the Moon God Emperor...
Even if Yun Che grew ten thousand more brains, he could never have connected the two.
But... the two had become husband and wife in Liu Yun City and had two children.
No wonder Xia Hongyi had been a merchant all his life, unskilled in the Profound Way, yet Xia Qingyue and Xia Yuanba's talents were astonishingly high — one possessing the world-shaking "Glazed Heart" and "Exquisite Body," the other possessing the "Overlord Emperor Divine Meridian." It turned out they were the offspring of a "Stainless Divine Body."
[Note from the author]
1. Regarding the Yue Wugou plotline, you can look back at Chapter 697. That chapter was from Xia Hongyi's perspective. Different perspectives see different things, and feelings and understandings will also differ. For example, you are from the perspective of God, while I... am from the perspective of the Creation God! Hahahahaha!
2. Previously in the text, I wrote "Wugou (stainless)", and then many~~many~~ classmates privately messaged me asking why Xia Hongyi would know her name was Yue Wugou? Hmm, this question... Xia Hongyi certainly didn't know she was called Yue Wugou, but I did! The name "Xia Qingyue" wasn't given by him — it was given by me!
