# Chapter 1346: The Divine Temple Opens
In the Snow Moon Empire, the massive castle atop the endless glaciers was the center of the empire, the seat of power in the Snow Moon Empire. Every day, many people stood beneath the glaciers, gazing up at the terraced castle in the sky, hoping that one day they too could step inside and become part of this castle of power.
Within the empire, anyone had such an opportunity. As long as your strength was sufficient, you could even revive your entire family, moving them into that castle which symbolized authority.
Even more so, you could become the supreme ruler of the empire, its master—provided you became a Martial Emperor. Strength determined everything.
Now, within this vast and magnificent castle, many young disciples were filled with excitement. Tomorrow was the day the Snow Divine Temple would open. To them, the Snow Divine Temple was mysterious and powerful. If the castle atop the glaciers symbolized the empire, then the Snow Divine Temple symbolized the castle itself. It protected generation after generation of young people. Among the most renowned experts in the long history of the Snow Moon Empire, every one of them had a chapter in their lives where they had once stepped into the Snow Divine Temple.
Snow Lord was the sole exception. This woman was also quite legendary in the Snow Moon Empire. There were even rumors that she was a true enchantress who had toyed with many outstanding men. But without exception, those men had all died by her hand, or because of her. A very ruthless woman—ruthless to herself, and ruthless enough to others.
The imperial palace at night was quite quiet, but many people could not sleep peacefully. Those young people about to enter the temple, and their elders, would rather spend their time cultivating intensely or gathering treasures to prepare fully for entering the temple. After all, the temple was not only a place of opportunity but also a place of nightmares. Many who entered never came out again, even members of the imperial bloodline.
At this moment, above the temple on the vast glaciers, two figures flickered in the night, directly entering the imperial palace and slipping into Yiren Lei's residence. They concealed their auras, silent and unnoticed by anyone. Yiren Lei only wanted to enter the temple—that was her goal. Therefore, she did not want to be disturbed by other complicated and trivial matters, which was why she had brought Lin Feng away.
As for deliberately seeking out the Sixth Prince and his group earlier to cause trouble and kill people, that was entirely to prevent Snow Lord from harassing her.
"Tomorrow we enter the Snow Divine Temple. My man, you'll have to protect Yiren well!" Yiren Lei and Lin Feng sat on the soft bed. Her jade-like hand traced across Lin Feng's body, undoing his clothes.
"What is inside the Snow Divine Temple?" Lin Feng asked.
"I don't know. The last time the Snow Divine Temple opened was a hundred years ago. Those who came out became leaders of the major families in this castle, at least at the Venerable Lord level, some even old monsters close to Invincible Venerable Lord. Aside from them, probably only the imperial bloodline knows what's inside the Snow Divine Temple. That enchantress told me nothing!" Yiren Lei's delicate body pressed against Lin Feng's, removing his clothes.
Lin Feng turned his head slightly, feeling her soft body rubbing against his back. A wave of heat surged through him. "Then why are you so determined to enter the temple?"
"The twelve divine temples have existed since ancient times. Even Martial Emperor-level experts cannot set foot inside. Can you imagine what kind of beings rule over these divine temples?" Yiren Lei removed her outer clothes as well, her body clinging to Lin Feng's. Her hands hooked around his neck from behind, her head circling past his neck, her seductive eyes enticing him.
"You enchantress!" Lin Feng threw Yiren Lei onto the bed, then pressed his body down on top of hers. Their two bodies pressed tightly together. "Guess—are they Great Emperors, or gods?"
Lin Feng wondered: the Fate Temple and the Snow Divine Temple likely had some mysterious connection, along with the other temples of the Nine Abyss Twelve Kingdoms. What kind of beings ruled the divine temples? Lin Feng dared not think too deeply.
"Why think so much? Once we enter the temple, we'll know what we need to know. So, man, let me become your goddess!" Yiren Lei finally breathed out a fragrant breath, and the two gradually sank into each other. Perhaps this was their last time enjoying the pleasures of the six desires. Once they stepped into the temple, no one knew what would happen. Moreover, when they walked out of the temple, it would be time to return to the Eight Wastelands. The hundred-day deadline would also arrive.
Therefore, that night, the two tacitly chose silence, endlessly battling each other. Their bodies seemed filled with infinite longing for one another, as if reluctant to part. Of course, what they longed for—whether it was the person, or the desire—no one knew.
When the sun's rays scattered over the Snow Divine Temple, the towering temple refracted dazzling beams of light, carrying a unique beauty. The sunlight seemed to melt into the snow and ice.
At the entrance to the Snow Divine Temple stood many figures, all witnessing this historic moment. The temple's opening happened only once every hundred years, making it especially solemn.
Even the supreme figures of the Snow Moon Empire, Ice Emperor and Snow Lord, stood solemnly on either side of the temple entrance, very quiet, bathed in the temple's radiance. It was as if the temple was ruled by gods, and they were the gods' subjects.
"Are all the people here?" Ice Emperor asked calmly, his gaze sweeping over the figures before the temple. He paused slightly on the few young men in imperial robes at the front, a hint of expectation in his eyes.
"Those who should be here are all here," the Sixth Prince said calmly. He only said that those who should be here had arrived.
"Does Your Highness mean that Yiren should not be here?" A charming laugh came from nearby. Since she was about to enter the temple, Yiren Lei no longer bothered to conceal anything. Her smile was stunning, enchanting hearts, impacting the minds of many young men. This Yiren Lei was even more alluring, making it impossible to resist.
But Yiren Lei already had a man. At this moment, she was nestled against Lin Feng. The two came together, then landed on the ground.
Many eyes suddenly sharpened, shooting toward Yiren Lei and Lin Feng. Lin Feng's killing spree had offended quite a few people. Among those who died, many families had a quota to enter the temple. That quota had been given to the most outstanding disciple in the family. These people would obviously not let Lin Feng and Yiren Lei off easily.
"The Snow Divine Temple has never had a precedent of a woman entering. Imperial Sister Yiren is already breaking the rules, so naturally she belongs among those who should not be here," the Sixth Prince replied coldly. His words were now sharp. He shed his disguise, no longer pretending, and made his stance clear.
"Does Your Highness think the Snow Goddess is male or female?" Yiren Lei's eyes still held a light smile. She was not bothered by his aggressive words at all, only asking calmly.
"This has always been the empire's rule," the Sixth Prince snorted coldly.
"Your Highness knows better than I how this rule came about. Since the Snow Divine Temple belongs to the legendary Snow Goddess, then women are clearly more qualified to enter than men!" Yiren Lei's smile remained, but her voice seemed to grow stronger. Looking at the towering temple, her beautiful eyes held a hint of anticipation. She was the first woman to enter the Snow Divine Temple.
"More qualified, you say?" The Sixth Prince smiled. "Imperial Sister, don't hold too many illusions, or you'll be very disappointed. You are definitely not the first person to set foot in the Snow Divine Temple!"
"Not the first?" Yiren Lei's eyes flickered. She looked toward Snow Lord. She had never heard of any woman setting foot in the Snow Divine Temple. But why was the Sixth Prince so confident? It didn't sound like a lie.
"My woman, whether or not any woman has set foot there before doesn't matter. Among my many daughters, your martial heart is the most tenacious, the most like me. That's why I chose you. In fact, some of your sisters have much higher cultivation than you. But I believe you will do your best. Do your utmost. As for their talk about women who have lost their virginity not being recognized by the Snow Goddess—that's just nonsense. Gods are not so vulgar. In truth, it's just an excuse they compromised on, wanting to place a man by your side."
Snow Lord transmitted her voice to Yiren Lei. She valued Yiren Lei not for her talent or strength, but for her nature.
Yiren Lei was just like her—her martial heart was unbreakable.
Yiren Lei nodded slightly but did not reply to Snow Lord. At this moment, a ray of light seemed to descend from the sky above, spreading down over the temple. The light enveloped the temple. The Snow Divine Temple, reaching toward the heavens, seemed bathed in divine radiance, shining with holy snow and ice light, glittering brilliantly.
"Rumble..." A shocking sound rang out. The temple's massive doors slowly pulled open to both sides, drawing everyone's attention. The Snow Divine Temple, after a hundred years, was opening once again.
Lin Feng's gaze was not on the temple but on the beam of light descending from the sky and the radiance bathing the temple. The Snow Divine Temple was not opened by Ice Emperor and Snow Lord. It opened on its own every hundred years. What kind of power made the temple open once every hundred years? Who was behind the scenes controlling all of this?
"Are the other imperial temples of the Nine Abyss Twelve Kingdoms also opened once every hundred years?" Lin Feng transmitted his voice to Yiren Lei.
"Yes, and on the same day," Yiren Lei replied. This made Lin Feng even more curious. Only the Fate Temple was unpredictable and irregular. The twelve temples of the Nine Abyss Twelve Kingdoms all opened on the same day!
Also, why was the Assembly of Emperors postponed to exactly after the temple's opening? Could it be that besides the Martial Emperors of the Eight Wastelands, there really was a connection with the Nine Abyss Twelve Kingdoms guiding all of this?
