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

Yang Wanqing leaned closer, saw the comments, and frowned: "Why are these people like this? They don't even believe what they saw with their own eyes?"

Cai Jingwen said softly, "It's normal. After all, those things are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people."

Li Li held the wolf cub and whispered, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it either."

In the live stream, the doubts grew louder, but there were also supporters:

[I am Ying Zheng: If you don't believe me, get out! We watched the live stream with our own eyes!]

[Yaoyao's Little Red Riding Hood: Exactly! Don't talk nonsense if you didn't watch the live stream!]

[Evening Breeze Meets the Forest: There's replay evidence, what's there to question?]

[Dongmen Chuixue: My grandfather practiced kung fu his whole life. He said that the sword light he saw was something that special effects couldn't achieve.]

Just then, a special comment appeared—

[Xiao Ke: Quick, look at the trending topics! Quick, look at the trending topics!]

Yang Wanqing was stunned for a moment, then screamed, "What? Trending on Weibo? We're number ten now?"

She frantically clicked on the trending topics list, and sure enough—

#Chen Hao, the Celestial Master of the Modern World# 10th place

#Kunlun Slays the Gu Diao# 15th

#Walking on Water# 18th

Three topics simultaneously broke into the top 20 trending searches!

"My God!" Yang Wanqing's hands were trembling with excitement. "Family! We're famous! Absolutely famous!"

The number of viewers in the live stream skyrocketed, from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, then hundreds of thousands, and finally over three hundred thousand...

The barrage of comments was so fast it was impossible to see them clearly:

[New User 001: I came from the trending topics! I heard there are some real big shots here?]

[New User 002: Walking on water? Really?]

[New User 003: What is Gu Diao? Is it from the Classic of Mountains and Seas?]

[New User 004: This isn't filming a movie? Is it a live stream?]

[New User 005: Front row seat to watch the pro!]

[New User 006: Master Chen is awesome!]

[New User 007: Do you take on apprentices? I don't know anything, but I can shout "666!"]

Looking at the surge in viewers and the screen full of new comments, Yang Wanqing grinned from ear to ear: "Welcome, new family members! That's right, this is our live stream! This driver is none other than Master Chen Hao! What happened yesterday was all true! Live streamed the whole thing! We have a replay to prove it!"

Chen Siyao whispered, "In the late Qing Dynasty, my brother didn't seem to like being so high-profile..."

Yang Wanqing glanced at Chen Hao, and seeing that he seemed unaffected and didn't object, she mustered her courage and continued broadcasting: "It's okay, it's okay, Brother Hao didn't say I couldn't broadcast!"

In the live stream, both new and old viewers were arguing heatedly:

[Sword Comes: Newcomers, be quiet! Longtime fans say Master Chen is a true master!]

[Yaoyao's Little Red Riding Hood: We have a replay! Like, comment, and subscribe if you want to watch!]

[Dongmen Chuixue: Even my grandpa said it was amazing. You can judge for yourselves.]

[I'm not eating: To be honest, I still don't quite believe it]

[Rich guy: I don't believe it either, unless you perform it again live.]

[Netizens: Yes! We'll believe you if you do it again!]

[New User 008: Give me a performance! Give me a performance!]

Yang Wanqing looked at Chen Hao and asked cautiously, "Brother Hao, how about... you perform another one?"

Chen Hao glanced at her in the rearview mirror and said casually, "What are you going to perform?"

"Just...showing off a little?" Yang Wanqing asked with a forced smile, "So the new family members can see what I'm capable of?"

Chen Hao remained silent.

Cai Jingwen said softly, "Chen Hao, it's normal that they don't believe it. After all, those things were really too shocking."

Chen Hao was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his right hand and flicked his index finger lightly.

A visible white burst of energy shot out from his fingertips and struck a rock the size of a washbasin by the roadside.

boom--

The rock shattered instantly, sending fragments flying everywhere!

The live stream was silent for two seconds, and then—

[New User 001: Holy crap! ...

[New User 002: Am I seeing things? Is that qigong?]

[New User 003: The rock exploded? I flicked the rock with my finger and it exploded?]

[New User 004: My mom asked me why I was kneeling while looking at my phone!]

[New User 005: This isn't a special effect! This isn't a special effect! This isn't a special effect!]

[New User 006: Master Chen is awesome! (Voice cracks)]

[New User 007: I believe it! I really believe it! Please, master, take me as your apprentice!]

[A sober perspective: ...I was wrong, I shouldn't have questioned it.]

[Rich guy: Is this even a human being capable of?]

[Netizens: My worldview has collapsed]

Yang Wanqing leaned closer to Chen Siyao's phone, his grin stretching to his ears: "Family! Did you see that?! This is Master Chen! He just flicks his finger, and rocks explode! You still think it's special effects?"

The live chat went completely crazy, with gifts being sent so frequently that they were impossible to see:

[New User 008] is giving away a yacht x1! P.S.: Master Chen, please accept me as your disciple!

[New User 009] sent a rocket x1! Message: Please help me, pro!

[New User 010] has given away 1 Carnival item! P.S.: This was totally worth it!

[New User 011] is giving away 10 sports cars! P.S.: I believe it! I really believe it!

【I am Ying Zheng】Gives away Carnival x10! P.S.: Master Chen is forever a god!

【Yaoyao's Little Red Riding Hood】sent 1 rocket! Message: Brother is so handsome!

【Evening Breeze Meets Forest】Gives away 5 Carnival items! P.S.: This is my live stream! I'm proud!

[Dongmen Chuixue] is giving away 30 yachts! P.S.: Even my grandpa couldn't release that much energy!

On the gift rankings, 【吾为嬴政】 and 【东门吹雪】 were neck and neck, flooding the screen with messages.

Looking at the rapidly increasing gift numbers, Yang Wanqing was so excited she was almost incoherent: "Thank you! Thank you for the gifts, family! Brother Hao, look! We're famous! We're really famous!"

Chen Hao glanced at it indifferently and continued driving, as if he had just done something insignificant.

Looking at his profile, Cai Jingwen felt her heart flutter even more.

The more you get to know this man, the more unfathomable he seems.

Meanwhile, at the Ye family in Chancheng.

The Ye family is a renowned martial arts family in Lingnan, said to be descended from Ip Man. They have practiced martial arts for generations and enjoy a very high reputation in the martial arts world. The current head of the family, Ye Zhengying, is seventy-two years old this year. His kung fu has reached a state of perfection, and he is a well-known figure in Chancheng and even the entire Lingnan region.

At this moment, Ye Zhengying was sitting in his study, watching a video on his phone.

In the video, a young man walks on water, slays a demon with a single sword stroke, his movements fluid and graceful, his energy radiating outwards like a rainbow.

He read it once, then read it again, and then read it once more.

He watched it five times before putting down his phone and letting out a long sigh.

"Grandpa, have you finished reading?" Ye Chendong asked cautiously from the side.

Ye Zhengying looked up at his most beloved grandson, his eyes filled with complex emotions: "Chen Dong, is this video... real?"

Ye Chengdong nodded hurriedly: "Really! I watched the live stream the whole time, and I saw Chen Hao cross the lake on foot and kill that monster with a single sword strike! It was a live stream, without any editing!"

Ye Zhengying remained silent.

Ye Chengdong couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa, what level do you think he's at?"

Ye Zhengying remained silent for a while before slowly saying, "Walking on water, releasing energy like a sword, slaying ferocious beasts of that level... this level of cultivation is probably..."

He paused, his voice low: "I'm afraid he has already surpassed the Transformation Realm and the Return to Truth Realm, and reached the legendary Innate Realm."

Ye Chendong gasped.

The Realm of Primordial Innate!
