# Chapter 1330: The Temptation of Yiren Lei
"Ice Emperor, Snow Lord!" Lin Feng looked at Yiren Lei and asked, "Both are Martial Emperors?"
"Yes!" Yiren Lei nodded with a smile. In the Snow Moon Empire, the Ice Emperor and Snow Lord were both Martial Emperor level powerhouses.
"The Nine Abyss Twelve Kingdoms should be on the same level as the Eight Wastelands Realm, but the Holy City Central Continent is the most mysterious. Xiao Ya said the Holy City Central Continent exists independently from the world—what kind of place is it really?" Lin Feng murmured to himself, a faint sense of anticipation rising in his heart. The Holy City Central Continent, the center of the Nine Heavens Continent—this was common knowledge among the continent's inhabitants. Yet Lin Feng had rarely heard anyone discuss the Holy City Central Continent, as if their knowledge of it was limited.
This had once puzzled Lin Feng, and he had secretly speculated: the Holy City Central Continent was not a place one could set foot in casually.
"Fairy Maiden Yiren, how much have you heard about the Holy City Central Continent?" Lin Feng asked Yiren Lei. Perhaps she might know some information.
"I've only heard that the Holy City Central Continent is the center of the Nine Heavens Continent. Only those with formidable strength have the opportunity to set foot there. I've also inquired about news of the Holy City Central Continent, but both my mother and my master remained silent, only saying that when the time comes for me to know, I will naturally learn of it." Yiren Lei's beautiful eyes also revealed curiosity about the central land of the Nine Heavens Continent.
"But I've heard that the Assembly of Emperors in the Eight Wastelands Realm and the Empire Covenant of the Nine Abyss Twelve Kingdoms have some connection to the Holy City Central Continent." Yiren Lei added another remark, causing Lin Feng's eyes to narrow slightly. Besides the Assembly of Emperors in the Eight Wastelands Realm, the Nine Abyss Twelve Kingdoms also had an Empire Covenant?
Among the people Lin Feng knew who had truly set foot in the Holy City Central Continent, aside from the legendary Great Emperors, there were only Old Man Xiao and Xiao Ya, as well as the mother who raised Meng Qing. But frustratingly, Old Man Xiao and Meng Qing's mother both seemed unwilling for him to go to the Holy City Central Continent.
"Perhaps those Martial Emperors have been there, they just remain silent about it!" Lin Feng said to himself. This vast land had tens of thousands of years of history and had produced countless geniuses—the Peerless Demon Emperor, the Skyless Sword Emperor—they had all left their footprints across this expansive land. But why had they vanished without a trace? Where had they gone?
Also, the ancestors of various Martial Emperor forces and Martial Emperor families—were they all still in the Eight Wastelands Realm?
Although Martial Emperors had their limits, they lived at least a thousand years. High-rank Emperors might even live ten thousand years. Moreover, was there no one in the Eight Wastelands Realm capable of breaking through to the Emperor Realm?
All of this seemed to point toward the Holy City Central Continent. Perhaps there, he could find the footprints of those predecessors and admire their legends.
As Yiren Lei had predicted, surging auras came from the distant void. Lin Feng and Yiren Lei turned their gazes and saw a group of soldiers clad in ice armor striding through the void toward them.
"Your Highness, the Ice Emperor requests your presence!" Sunlight refracted off the ice armor of the leading soldier, dazzling and brilliant, but his voice carried a hint of coldness.
Moreover, he spoke to Yiren Lei in a condescending tone.
Lin Feng frowned slightly. Their disrespectful attitude seemed quite telling. Yiren Lei was a princess, yet these armored soldiers dared to be so insolent.
Thinking back to the assassination attempt on Yiren Lei in the passage, and how Dao Gu and the others had protected her, Lin Feng vaguely sensed that within the imperial palace of this Snow Moon Empire, there were important figures who were at odds with Yiren Lei.
Moreover, they were at least figures of the same rank as Yiren Lei—a princess, or perhaps a prince.
But these soldiers were indeed formidable. The ordinary troops were at the low-rank Honored Martial Realm, and the leader was at the Fourth Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm. If Snow Moon Kingdom ever had such a powerful lineup one day, it would be terrifying.
"Who are you speaking to!" Yiren Lei had already completely retracted her seductive charm, and her cold, proud demeanor reappeared, as if before the people of the Snow Moon Empire, this was the true Yiren Lei.
Seeming to sense the chill emanating from Yiren Lei, the soldier appeared somewhat less confident. But thinking of the person he served, he raised his head again, looking down from above, and said coldly, "Your Highness, I have delivered the message. Farewell."
With that, the group of soldiers soared away, showing no regard for Yiren Lei as a princess.
"My man, did you see that? This is how they bully Yiren!" Yiren Lei's eyes shimmered with charm, as if she had completely dismissed what had just happened, her seductive gaze fixed on Lin Feng.
"With your strength, killing them wouldn't be difficult, would it?" Lin Feng remained unmoved, speaking calmly.
Yiren Lei cast a resentful glance at Lin Feng, as if blaming him for not standing up for her.
"Tell me, what is my value?" Lin Feng asked in a low voice.
A flicker of surprise passed through Yiren Lei's eyes, and she smiled lightly, "You only need to be my man!"
Lin Feng shrugged and said, "I'm not used to being used without knowing the reason. Fairy Maiden Yiren had better explain clearly, or else Lin Feng fears that if something happens later, I can't guarantee I'll stand on Fairy Maiden Yiren's side."
As Lin Feng spoke, he turned his gaze, his deep eyes looking at Yiren Lei—clear, clean eyes.
Yiren Lei's eyes still held a hint of resentment, intoxicatingly beautiful.
"The Martial Emperor forces of the Nine Abyss Twelve Kingdoms actually consist of only twelve empires, fewer than the Eight Wastelands Realm. However, the strength of the Nine Abyss Twelve Kingdoms is only greater than that of the Eight Wastelands Realm, not weaker. Moreover, each of the twelve empires has countless vassal states, vast and boundless, with an area five times that of the Eight Wastelands Realm. But the true reason the twelve empires stand unshaken is the inheritance of their divine temples."
Yiren Lei understood from Lin Feng's gaze what he needed—Lin Feng needed to understand the true information. So she did not intend to hide anything from him.
"That place is the symbol of the Snow Moon Empire—the Ice and Snow Divine Temple!" Yiren Lei said, pointing to the towering temple that pierced the clouds, reaching deep into the mountain peaks, as if truly standing in the heavens.
"I've heard that the origins of the divine temples of the twelve empires come from the Holy City Central Continent, but I don't know the exact truth. I only know that even the Martial Emperors of the empire cannot casually set foot in the divine temple. It only opens once every hundred years before the Empire Covenant. The Empire Covenant corresponds to the Assembly of Emperors in the Eight Wastelands Realm. I even speculate that the Martial Emperors of the Eight Wastelands Realm and the Martial Emperors of the twelve empires do have contact. As far as I know, the Empire Covenant and the Assembly of Emperors open on the same day!"
Lin Feng was quite moved by Yiren Lei's words. Clearly, her words surprised him. The Empire Covenant and the Assembly of Emperors of the Eight Wastelands Realm opened on the same day, with countless connections between them. Moreover, before the Empire Covenant opened, the divine temple would open once. And according to Yiren Lei, the divine temples of the twelve empires of the Nine Abyss Twelve Kingdoms originated from the Holy City Central Continent. All of this indicated that the Assembly of Emperors and the Empire Covenant were related to the Holy City Central Continent.
"What does this have to do with me?" Lin Feng asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Of course it does. In the history of the Snow Moon Empire, the rulers of the empire never allowed royal women to set foot in the Ice and Snow Divine Temple. It wasn't until the Snow Lord appeared that she wanted to break this rule. However, she faced unprecedented resistance. In the end, both sides compromised. For a woman to set foot in the Ice and Snow Divine Temple, the prerequisite was that she must have a man!"
Yiren Lei's voice gradually softened, as if trying to intoxicate Lin Feng's heart.
But Lin Feng's confusion only deepened. He asked Yiren Lei, "I don't understand. Why did the compromise result in a woman needing to have a man?"
"The actual ruler of the Snow Moon Empire has always been a man. And according to legend, the inheritor of the Ice and Snow Divine Temple is a woman. Therefore, successive rulers of the Snow Moon Empire never dared to let women set foot in the Ice and Snow Divine Temple. They wanted their descendants to receive divine blessings from the temple. But because the Snow Lord is now so powerful, the Ice Emperor had no choice but to compromise. The result of the compromise was that a woman who wanted to enter the temple must have a man, because the Ice and Snow Goddess would not bestow the temple's inheritance upon a woman who was no longer pure!"
Yiren Lei leaned her body against Lin Feng, her gaze carrying a hint of intoxication, as if she wanted Lin Feng to fall for her.
"So, for a woman to set foot in the temple, it's not really about having a man—it only requires that the woman is no longer pure." Lin Feng looked at the beautiful face so close to him and asked in a low voice.
"Yes!" Yiren Lei nodded.
"Then why do you need to find me?"
"Because I am still pure right now!" Yiren Lei's eyes were like water, and she breathed a fragrant breath toward Lin Feng. This blatant hint and temptation was enough to drive any man crazy.
"My man, do you now understand how I want to use you? I want you to make me no longer pure!"
Such a use was absolutely irresistible to any man. The Saintess of the Six Desires Immortal Palace of the Eight Wastelands Realm, the princess of the Snow Moon Empire, wanted to use Lin Feng to fall together with her.
"Why me?"
"At first, when you said you wanted to follow me, I didn't think about it. But later, I discovered that the Cursed One and Lin Feng were the same person. I admit, I was tempted. Since I'm going to fall, why not choose an excellent man to fall with?"
"If you hadn't met me in the Void Battlefield?" Lin Feng asked.
"Then I would have chosen someone in the Nine Abyss Twelve Kingdoms. Perhaps it would have been Dao He." Yiren Lei's smile remained, but a string seemed to tremble in Lin Feng's heart because of this woman's ruthlessness—her ruthlessness toward herself. To set foot in the Ice and Snow Divine Temple, she seemed not to care about giving herself to a strange man.
"Is it worth it? You are the Saintess of the Six Desires Immortal Palace, the princess of the Snow Moon Empire. Besides, you yourself said that the Ice and Snow Goddess would not bestow the temple's inheritance upon a woman who is no longer pure."
"From the day I chose the Six Desires Immortal Palace, I knew that one day I would fall. As for the temple's inheritance, I only believe in my own conviction!"
Yiren Lei smiled slowly and said, "Alright, my man. Falling in the six desires isn't so bad, is it? Your current cultivation has already touched the peak of Heavenly Martial Realm. Perhaps Yiren can help you break through to become a Venerable. Besides, Yiren isn't that unpleasant to look at, is she?"
Lin Feng shook his head with a wry smile. Could such a seductive beauty ever be unpleasant to look at?
PS: Hmm, everyone, should Lin Feng reject her?
