Xiao Ye heard these words, smiled slightly, and said, "Because the treasures on the Heavenly Ladder are very useful to you, but they hold no attraction for me, so there's no need for me to waste time."
In the Secret Technique Palace, the Undefeated Emperor had already reminded him that the treasures beneficial to him within the Great Emperor Palace were in the Seven Treasure Pavilions, not in the four major palaces.
And the arrangement of this island is very similar to the one they encountered before—the top is probably the Cultivation Method Hall, the Combat Skills Hall, or the Weapons Hall, so he naturally didn't bother to waste time there.
Moreover, on the way to this island, he had already made some discoveries, potentially related to the Seven Treasure Pavilions.
Therefore, Xiao Ye refused to climb the Heavenly Ladder.
