Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 1507: Why Help Him?

"Indeed, it was a deserved defeat."

Xiao Yi had an amused smile as he looked at Lin Ye.

"However, instead of saying you were defeated by me, it would be more accurate to say you were defeated by the techniques on the Dawn Bell."

In fact, Xiao Yi had this bit of self-awareness.

Compared to the ’Old Monster’ Lin Ye, his own Sword Dao attainment was far inferior, to say the least.

It wasn’t that he was beaten by Xiao Yi, but rather by the Ice Phoenix Sword and the Dawn Bell.

Years ago, opening a Small World and evolving the Qi Spring was due to the Ice Phoenix Sword, which resulted in such a massive Small World and Qi Spring.

It was also because of the Ice Phoenix Sword that ’Ice Mountain Fire Sea’ existed.

The massive primordial power granted by the vast Small World, and the solid state level bestowed by the Ice Mountain Fire Sea.

With a greater quantity and higher level of primordial power, the previous sword array managed to defeat Lin Ye.

Then, the techniques on the Dawn Bell broke through Lin Ye’s strongest defensive Sword Dao like a knife through butter.

And that led to Lin Ye’s current defeat.

So, without hesitation, Xiao Yi declared that Lin Ye’s defeat was indeed deserved.

But Lin Ye wasn’t defeated by him.

At this moment, Lin Ye put away the Purple Lightning and shook his head, "Brother Xiao, there’s no need for modesty."

"The fact that you could comprehend the techniques on the Dawn Bell alone proves that you’re stronger than me at the same level."

"But you possessing the techniques on the Dawn Bell truly surprised me."

Lin Ye shook his head, obviously a bit bitter about losing to Xiao Yi.

But that was all there was to it.

"Oh, by the way." Lin Ye smiled, "I forgot, you came from Black Cloud Academy."

"If I’m not mistaken, the Dawn Bell has always been in the hands of the Luoo family."

"The Luoo family?" Xiao Yi frowned.

If he guessed correctly, Lin Ye was referring to Senior Luoo.

"However," Lin Ye suddenly laughed triumphantly, "to my knowledge, no one has comprehended Dawn Without Limit on the Dawn Bell to this day."

"Not even the Luoo family has comprehended and mastered it."

"Hahaha, if he knew that he personally drove out such a supreme monster like you from the academy, the old man would be livid."

As the Sword Domain Master, Lin Ye would certainly know about Xiao Yi’s deeds and past. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"Brother Lin." Xiao Yi smiled, interrupting Lin Ye’s laughter.

"By these calculations, I have passed the second layer test."

Lin Ye nodded, "Yes, I am the Guardian of the second layer."

"Having defeated me, you naturally pass."

"Counting it up, within the countless years of Sword Emperor Stele Space’s existence, you are the ninth person to pass the end of the second layer and enter the Third Layer."

"The ninth?" Xiao Yi frowned.

He remembered that Lin Ye had indeed mentioned that, throughout these ages, only eight people had passed the end of the second layer.

It’s difficult to ascertain how many years the Sword Emperor Stele has existed.

But it’s at least hundreds of thousands of years.

The Sword Domain Gala, held once every few decades.

It’s imaginable how many sessions of the Sword Domain Gala there have been.

Throughout these ages, only eight people truly managed to pass through Lin Ye’s test. Counting Xiao Yi, that’s nine.

"Can I enter the Third Layer?" Xiao Yi asked.

The Third Layer is the final layer of the Sword Emperor Stele Space.

Boom... A surge of aura erupted from Lin Ye’s body.

Evidently, he had broken the prohibition on his body and restored his full strength.

The profoundly mysterious Lin Ye, always with a devilish grin, had appeared once more.

Whoosh... With a wave of Lin Ye’s large hand, a streak of Sword Qi shot towards the barrier of the second layer.

The barrier was instantly blasted open, creating a huge breach.

"I have opened the barrier, but you cannot enter yet," Lin Ye said.

"Wait a little longer, once the barrier completely separates, you can enter."

Xiao Yi nodded.

The barrier at the end of the second layer now had a huge breach.

The barrier was still splitting rapidly, and a complete separation was only a matter of minutes.

With nothing better to do, Xiao Yi turned to Lin Ye and asked, "Brother Lin, the trial of the first layer shouldn’t be too difficult, right?"

"Every time the Sword Emperor Stele opens, how many people can pass the first layer and enter the second layer?"

With these words, Lin Ye replied with a devilish smile, "You truly want to ask if that girl Ding Qiuyue can reach the second layer, right?"

Xiao Yi laughed awkwardly. To him, since Lin Ye was the Guardian at the end of the second layer and possessed immense power, he could even control the Ten Thousand Sword Formation of the second layer.

Therefore, he naturally would know the situation of the first layer as well.

Lin Ye asked curiously, "That girl Ding Qiuyue has no relation to you, so why are you so concerned about her? Could it be you have feelings for her..."

Lin Ye chuckled ominously.

Xiao Yi waved his hands repeatedly, interrupting, "Ding Qiuyue is, up until now, the purest Sword Heart swordmaster I’ve ever seen among all sword cultivators."

"To be blunt, even the two Sect Masters, the Lin Family swordmasters with Sword Emperor Bloodline, and even you, Brother Lin, don’t have a purer Sword Heart than hers."

"In my eyes, she’s like an unrefined Supreme Divine Sword."

"As a sword cultivator, I think you, Brother Lin, understand my feelings."

Lin Ye nodded, "As for Ding Qiuyue, whether she can reach the second layer depends on her own abilities."

"But if she’s as talented as you, Brother Xiao, describe, I definitely won’t let such a Heavenly Talent fade into obscurity."

"Thanks." Xiao Yi nodded.

Lin Ye shrugged, "But even if she can reach the second layer, she absolutely won’t be able to pass the Ten Thousand Sword Formation; she’s still too young."

Xiao Yi frowned, "How many people pass the Ten Thousand Sword Formation on the second layer each time the Sword Emperor Stele opens?"

The Ten Thousand Sword Formation is indeed a great opportunity.

The honing of swordsmanship and the gift of primordial power are immensely beneficial.

"Heh." Lin Ye laughed, "Not many, but also not too few."

"Each time the Sword Emperor Stele opens, there’s always a few sword cultivators who can reach the second layer."

"But those who truly can pass the Ten Thousand Sword Formation and stand before me happen only once in several iterations."

"Once in several iterations?" Xiao Yi frowned.

"Yes." Lin Ye nodded, "I remember, in the past two hundred years, only two people could pass the Ten Thousand Sword Formation."

"The last ones to stand before me were the kids Cloud Abyss and Limitless."

"But of course, they both were defeated by me, and couldn’t enter the Third Layer."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi’s face twitched involuntarily.

"Brother Lin, just how many years have you lived?"

Lin Ye laughed, "I won’t tell you, it’s been so long, I’ve forgotten myself."

"I do remember that I once entered closed cultivation for thirteen thousand years; I even forgot about the things at the Sword Emperor Stele during that time."

Xiao Yi couldn’t help but swallow hard.

As he was about to ask something, the barrier ahead was now completely separated.

"Brother Lin, I have one last thing to ask," Xiao Yi said seriously.

"What is it?" Lin Ye looked at Xiao Yi.

"Why has Brother Lin helped me multiple times?" Xiao Yi asked earnestly.

This question was something Xiao Yi had always wanted to ask.

He wasn’t a fool; he naturally realized that Lin Ye had helped him many times.

Regarding the matter of the Six Sword Guards, Lin Ye didn’t have to intervene at all.

Regarding the issue of various sword cultivators vying for the Cold Flame Sword, he also didn’t have to get involved.

After all, Lin Xiao, the Lin Family Head, was already making a move, yet as the Sword Domain Master, Lin Ye, a member of the Lin Family, helped him repel Lin Xiao and deterred various sword cultivators.

He had no relation with Lin Ye, and he couldn’t understand why Lin Ye would help him.
