This naturally brought Moko Ye to the peak of excitement!
Once he mastered parts of this Cultivation Technique, even without fully grasping it, it would provide immense help in traversing the latter Divine Mountains, and even give Moko Ye the confidence to truly defeat Ye Chen in battle!
Thinking of personally defeating Ye Chen, and completely suppressing Ye Chen in the seven Divine Mountains, Moko Ye's Essence, Qi, and Spirit reached their peak.
He fully immersed himself in the cultivation of this new Cultivation Technique.
In the three days of this competition, he aimed to comprehend this Cultivation Technique to a strong enough degree to continue advancing through the Divine Mountains!
When Moko Ye began to cultivate this Cultivation Technique, a strange and powerful glow surged from within him, enveloping his entire being.
Higher above the Starry Sky Waterfall.
In the space where the Great Powerholders of the Ancestral God Temple resided.
At this moment, the Divine Masters, Overlords, and Cosmic Emperors of the Ancestral God Temple were all focused on the few who were leading in the seven Divine Mountains challenge.
Those who had been eliminated, or were still struggling through the first three Divine Mountains, were given little attention by the Great Powerholders of the Ancestral God Temple.
To them, what mattered most were those who could secure a top ten position in the Battle of the True Gods, the Battle of the God Kings, and the Battle of the Divine Venerables!
Many strong figures in the Ancestral God Temple were focusing their attention on a few individuals.
These included those at the True God Realm and the Divine Venerable Realm.
As for those at the God King Realm, the strong of the Ancestral God Temple mainly focused on Ye Chen, Qianqian, Jiang Yao, and Moko Ye.
Seeing Ye Chen, Qianqian, and Jiang Yao having reached the Fifth Divine Mountain, and Ye Chen even advancing to the third layer of the Fifth Divine Mountain, the Great Powerholders of the Ancestral God Temple nodded secretly.
However, many eyes were focused on Moko Ye who was meditating in the ninth layer of the Fourth Divine Mountain.
A Master of the Ancestral God Temple spoke: "Moko Ye is quite fortunate to have obtained a legacy Cultivation Technique within the Fourth Divine Mountain."
"This Cultivation Technique is one of the few legacy techniques specially prepared by Youlan Great Emperor for this generation's geniuses, and as Youlan Great Emperor stated, without sufficient fate, not even one legacy may appear in this Stellar Domain Genius Battle."
"It seems now that Moko Ye, who was already strong, can really achieve even more remarkable feats with this Cultivation Technique."
The words of this Overlord made the other Overlords nod in agreement.
Evidently, many strong figures of the Ancestral God Temple knew the rules Youlan Great Emperor set for the legacy Cultivation Techniques.
However, they were unaware that the Cosmic Emperors in the field were internally thinking: "Although Youlan Great Emperor stated that not even one legacy might appear in this Stellar Domain Genius Battle, we, who have also stepped into the Cosmic Emperor Realm, know that Youlan Great Emperor is very invested in this battle."
"He couldn't possibly allow only one legacy to appear."
"Now, Moko Ye is merely the first to obtain a legacy. It's known that the first appearing legacy is usually the least superior."
"Perhaps more people will encounter better legacies later on!"
"It's uncertain where the more precious legacies have been placed by Youlan Great Emperor, who designed this Stellar Domain Genius Battle, or by what means contestants will obtain them. It's unknown whether they remain within the one-out-of-one-thousand phase in the seven Divine Mountains, or placed in later phases like the one-out-of-a-hundred or even the top ten ranking battle."
The thoughts of these Cosmic Emperors were unknown to others, not even to the Divine Masters of the Ancestral God Temple.
Moko Ye already believed he hit a stroke of tremendous luck, obtaining a world-class legacy from the smallest chance.
And this legacy was specifically designed by the Cosmic Emperor for talented individuals of their low Realm, being incredibly powerful yet perfectly suited for him.
Moko Ye, after two days of arduous cultivation, felt his combat power had increased by a vast level.
With substantial gains and realizing he lacked time to further elevate his strength, Moko Ye finally stood up from the ninth layer of the Fourth Divine Mountain.
He confidently stepped into the Teleportation Divine Formation, transporting himself to the Fifth Divine Mountain.
Upon arriving at the Fifth Divine Mountain, Moko Ye encountered the Great Demon within—it was the God-devouring Great Demon.
Moko Ye, already possessing extraordinary combat power, and having acquired a powerful legacy, swiftly defeated the God-devouring Great Demon at the first and second layers, advancing to the third layer.
At the third layer of the Fifth Divine Mountain, Moko Ye felt true pressure; however, he managed to push through the third layer. Ultimately, after a fierce battle in the fourth layer, he successfully slew the God-devouring Great Demon there, advancing to the fifth layer before finally being defeated, ending his participation in the one-thousand-in-one-hundred phase.
Upon exiting, Moko Ye noticed that, like him, other God Kings who had completed the challenge had been teleported to a temporary location, awaiting the end of everyone's competition.
Simultaneously, a giant light screen appeared in front, displaying everyone's performance results.
When Moko Ye arrived, he glanced at it and, upon seeing that Jiang Yao, Qianqian, and two other formidable God Kings from earlier rounds had all finished, he was quite pleased.
Yet, Moko Ye couldn't see Ye Chen, leaving a lingering unease in his heart.
Subsequently, Moko Ye searched for the performance results on the light screen.
Upon seeing that Qianqian had reached the fourth layer of the Fifth Divine Mountain, Jiang Yao the third layer, and the other two formidable dark horse God Kings also only the third layer—none of their scores surpassing his—Moko Ye breathed a long sigh of relief.
At least in this competition, he had completely suppressed even someone like Qianqian!
However, when Moko Ye searched for Ye Chen's name and finally found his result, he was utterly shocked.
The light screen showed that Ye Chen was also advancing through the fifth layer of the Fifth Divine Mountain, at the same level where Moko Ye had ended.
This left Moko Ye extremely astonished.
It's important to know that he relied on the newly acquired legacy Cultivation Technique from the Cosmic Emperor of the Ancestral God Temple to reach the fifth layer of the Fifth Divine Mountain. According to the Emperor, it was improbable for Ye Chen to obtain a legacy like that. Under these circumstances, Ye Chen reaching the fifth layer was beyond astonishing to Moko Ye!
However, Moko Ye felt somewhat relieved knowing at least Ye Chen hadn't surpassed his score.
If Ye Chen ended his competition at the fifth layer too, perhaps he reached it before Ye Chen and might still be slightly better.
As this thought crossed Moko Ye's mind, he suddenly heard exclamations of surprise.
Following, Moko Ye saw on the light screen that Ye Chen's name was now illuminated, showing that Ye Chen had entered into the sixth layer of the Fifth Divine Mountain!
Ye Chen hadn't stopped at the fifth layer like him but had broken through to the even higher sixth layer!
This was something Moko Ye found unimaginably hard to believe!
