The ancient return was exposed by his sister's live stream.

The number of people is increasing at a rate of tens of thousands per second.

Eighty million. One hundred and twenty million.

Chen Siyao quickly did the math in her head—her peak popularity during her live streaming career was 32 million, and that was after her brother had subdued the dragon during the last live stream.

It's already way too far.

And it's still rising.

One hundred and fifty million. Two hundred and ten million.

【Yaoyao, where is the High God? Where is the High God?】

[The Supreme God appears! The Supreme God appears!]

"Alright, alright, my darlings, my brother's backing up here. My junior disciples and I will handle the front lines. Now, let me show you the situation—"

She pointed the camera at Qin Xiaoyu, who was working.

Qin Xiaoyu squatted on the ground, one hand touching the ground, the other hand drawing runes in the air, spiritual power flowing at her fingertips, forming light blue patterns.

As soon as this scene appeared, the tone of the comments section immediately changed.

Is this cultivation? Is this really cultivation?

[Spiritual power visualized! I saw scenes of cultivation in the real world!]

[This girl is beautiful! Who is she?]

The number of people has exceeded 300 million.

Chen Siyao's heart was pounding like crazy.

At this moment, she noticed that some IDs in the comments were very special, marked as accounts from a certain country's research institute.

Foreign research institutions.

Moreover, Huaxing's official team did not kick them out of the live broadcast room.

Chen Siyao felt a chill run down her spine.

This isn't just for domestic audiences.

This is a public display for the whole world.

What is being made public?

Chen Hao is a publicly known star.

Huaxing has publicly stated its ability to handle supernatural events of the Penglai level.

To be clear—you'd better not get any funny ideas.

Chen Siyao suddenly understood why Han Songyue had made her do a live stream. This wasn't just simple public opinion manipulation; it was a demonstration.

And she was the one holding the microphone.

The pressure increased, but at the same time, an inexplicable burning desire rose from my chest.

I have to accept the opportunities my brother has given me.

She gritted her teeth, and the smile on her face became even more natural.

"Alright, my darlings, without further ado, let's get straight to the scene."

Chen Siyao fixed her phone to a clever selfie stick and hung it around her neck, freeing up her hands.

"I'm not just livestreaming; I'm also a member of the team breaking the formation. From now on, follow my perspective and see how we break this ancient immortal formation step by step."

The screen was flooded with comments.

[Yao Yao can break formations too?!]

【Of course I can! I've practiced it too!】

【Seriously? Other people's livestreamers are selling products, and your livestreamer is showing you how to cultivate immortality and break formations?】

This is what true immersive live streaming is all about.

Chen Siyao stopped reading the comments.

She walked over to Qin Xiaoyu and squatted down, placing her palms on the ground and infusing her with spiritual energy.

"Master, there's a double interference on the third level. The runes of the Three Talents Formation and the Nine Palaces Formation are overlapping." Qin Xiaoyu said without looking up.

She was fully aware that a live stream was being broadcast, but she was completely unaffected. Her attention was entirely focused on the formation beneath her feet.

"I see it." Chen Siyao's senses probed downwards along the spiritual energy channels.

This interference rune is deeply hidden. Under three nested layers, the patterns of the Three Powers and Nine Palaces intersect at an extremely subtle angle, forming a false node.

If you don't carefully distinguish it, it's easy to mistake it for the real key point of the formation and try to break it, thus triggering a backlash.

"I'll mark it." Chen Siyao took out a marker, drew a small circle on the ground, and wrote the word "fake" next to it.

A comment popped up in the live chat: "[The goddess's sister's literacy level is worrying; she misspelled the character 'fake'.]"

Fortunately, Chen Siyao didn't see the comments.

Qin Xiaoyu stood up, took a dozen steps forward, and stopped in front of a stone tablet that was half-buried in the soil.

The stone tablet is covered with densely packed runes, some of which have peeled off due to its age. However, the legible parts closely match the patterns described in the Tianyuan Formation.

"Found it!" Qin Xiaoyu called out, turning around. "The first array gate is here!"

Qin Xiaoyu's voice carried through the woods on the island, and everyone gathered in her direction.

The half-buried stone tablet was about 1.3 meters tall and covered with moss. However, after Qin Xiaoyu cleaned it with her spiritual power, the complete array of runes was revealed.

Xiao Yuanfeng walked closer and stared at the runes on the stone tablet for a few seconds.

His brow furrowed deeper and deeper.

The way these runes were written was unlike any system he had ever seen in the Qingwei Sect's library. The strokes were sharp and forceful, the brushstrokes unrestrained, and the spacing between each rune was so precise it bordered on obsessive.

"This is...ancient script?" Ding Shaokang leaned closer, his voice low.

"A variant of ancient seal script," Qin Xiaoyu replied, speaking slowly but with certainty.

"Master said that the rune system of the Tianyuan Array is unique and different from all other rune schools in later generations. But the underlying logic is the same—look here."

She reached out and traced a line above a curved pattern on the stone tablet.

"This rune begins at the top left and ends at the bottom right, with the spiritual energy flowing counter-clockwise. It's the opposite of the starting point of the Kun position in the Nine Palaces Formation."

Ding Shaokang looked around in the direction she was pointing and then fell silent.

It's not that he doesn't understand, but rather—he can't see it.

If Qin Xiaoyu hadn't pointed it out, he wouldn't have noticed the difference in the counter-clockwise direction at all.

In his perception, the spiritual energy flow of these runes was uniform and indiscriminate, and he couldn't discern any direction at all.

Zhang Jingzhou, who was standing to the side, was also watching. His fingers unconsciously tapped the edge of the stone tablet, trying to use spiritual energy resonance to perceive the deeper structure.

Without looking up, Qin Xiaoyu said, "Don't knock, it will trigger the second layer of protection."

Zhang Jingzhou's finger hovered in mid-air, frozen for a second.

"...Thank you for reminding me."

He silently withdrew his hand.

This interaction was captured entirely during the live stream.

A large number of comments flooded the screen.

[This girl is amazing! She's breaking through formations and teaching at the same time!]

Wait, who are those people being taught? They don't look like junior brothers or sisters.

Those are representatives from various sects! Anyone who's ever been online knows them: Xu Yunda from the Qingcheng Sect and Xiao Yuanfeng from the Qingwei Sect!

So, the disciples of the Supreme God are teaching the leaders and chief disciples of various sects?

[Perspective, perspective, perspective—that's all I can say!]

This scene looks exactly like a college student teaching elementary school students calculus.

Qin Xiaoyu completely ignored the live stream. She turned to her fellow disciples behind her and said, "The opening of the first array gate requires the simultaneous infusion of spiritual power into all five array eyes. Ying Wenjie, Ye Chendong, go to the two points on the east side. Yang Wanqing, southwest corner. Wu Tian, ​​due north."

"Received." The four responded and dispersed, each taking their positions.

Qin Xiaoyu looked at Chen Siyao: "Master, you guard the south."

"it is good."

The five people took their designated positions. Qin Xiaoyu stood directly in front of the stone tablet, acting as the pivot.

"Listen to my command. Three, two, one—inject."

Five streams of energy, rich in Flame Spirit Stones, were simultaneously poured into the array's core.

The ground shook.

The runes on the stone tablet lit up, first dark red, then gold, and finally an indescribable bluish-white light.

The light spread along the ground, forming a light array with a diameter of about twenty meters.
