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

He had only seen this word in his family's records. It was said to be the ultimate skill, a complete transformation, longevity, and even the path to immortality.

His grandfather practiced his whole life, but he only reached the peak of the Transcendent Realm, still a hair's breadth away from the True Realm, and he could never break through it.

And that Chen Hao is thirty years old...

"Grandpa, then we..." Ye Chendong asked tentatively.

Ye Zhengying stood up, walked to the window, and stood with his hands behind his back.

After a long silence, he slowly asked, "Chen Dong, what's the name of your alternate account in that livestream room?"

"East Gate Snowfall".

"From now on, stop using that alternate account." Ye Zhengying turned around, his gaze deep. "Use our Ye family's official verified account."

Ye Chendong was taken aback: "Grandpa, you mean...?"

"My Ye family has a long tradition of Wing Chun, and we also practice internal martial arts. It has been passed down for a hundred years, and to this day I have only touched the threshold of the Return to Truth realm... The peak of the Return to Truth realm is still far away, let alone the Innate realm."

Ye Zhengying said in a deep voice, "We must befriend such a person. Even if it's just to establish a good relationship, it would be a great opportunity for the Ye family."

He paused, then said, "Go and do it immediately. Send a gift, the biggest gift imaginable. Let Chen Hao know that our Ye family sincerely wants to befriend him."

"Between this person and receive even a single word of guidance, our Ye family can break through the century-old bottleneck and leap to become the number one cultivation family in the country!"

Ye Chengdong perked up: "Yes, Grandpa!"

He turned and ran.

Ye Zhengying watched his grandson's departing figure, then looked out the window, muttering to himself, "The Innate Realm... I've cultivated diligently for over seventy years, yet I still haven't grasped its essence. How did this young man manage to do it?"

A deep longing flashed in his eyes.

At the same time, the Wu family in Luocheng.

The Wu family in Luocheng, their underground training room.

The thick solid wood floor was covered with fist marks and footprints. Wu Lie, the head of the Wu family, was shirtless with his muscles bulging. He threw a punch, which made a muffled sound in the air, but he still couldn't stop the force and slammed it hard into the sandbag, which burst instantly.

"Damn it!" Wu Lie roared, his face full of resentment.

The young man Wu Tian, ​​who was standing to the side, quickly stepped forward: "Patriarch, are you attempting to break through to the Returning to Truth Realm again?"

Wu Lie, panting heavily, took a towel and wiped his sweat. His gaze fell on the live stream on the phone next to him, his eyes filled with extreme complexity: "Breakthrough? Even if we try for another hundred years, it won't be of any use! In the Dharma-ending Age, spiritual energy is cut off. We mortals will never be able to touch the threshold of the Innate Realm in this lifetime."

"But Mr. Chen Hao is different," Wu Tian immediately interjected. "He's so young, yet he possesses extraordinary abilities, able to slay demons while walking on water and quell strange occurrences with a wave of his hand. His cultivation level is definitely far beyond the Innate Realm!"

Yesterday, after Wu Tian sent Chen Hao's live stream video to the head of the family, the entire Wu family was instantly in an uproar.

All the elders held a meeting overnight, repeatedly verifying the authenticity of the video, and finally reached a conclusion that made everyone tremble:

This person is the only hope in the Dharma-ending Age.

Wu Lie stared at Chen Hao, who appeared calm and collected on the screen, and slowly clenched his fist:

"Our Wu family has a 300-year-old tradition of Bajiquan, yet we're stuck at the peak of the Transcendent Realm, unable to make any further progress. Mr. Chen Hao casually produced a Tantric technique that could help a Tantric Living Buddha break through his bottleneck. If he were willing to offer us a single word of guidance…"

"The Wu family will surely rise!"

Wu Lie was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed.

"Excellent! Excellent! Excellent!" he exclaimed three times, his eyes gleaming. "I never imagined there really were such extraordinary people in this world!"

He stood up and said in a deep voice, "Go immediately and send a gift to Chen Hao using our Wu family's official verified account. Send him the biggest gift possible! Let him know that our Wu family is willing to be his friend!"

Wu Tian was taken aback: "Dad, are you sure? Our family's official account is never used to tip live streamers..."

"Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures." Wu Lie's gaze was profound. "Xiao Tian, ​​you are still young and do not understand the value of such a master. A true innate master is a hundred times stronger than any grandmaster or revered figure. Forming a good relationship with him will only benefit our Wu family, and will not bring any harm."

Wu Tian's eyes lit up: "I understand! Dad, I'll get on it right away!"

He turned and ran.

Wu Lie watched his son's retreating figure, a smile playing on his lips.

"A master of innate level..." he murmured, "Interesting, very interesting."

Wuling Mountain, Qin Family.

The Qin family is a reclusive family in western Hunan, having lived in the Wuling Mountains for generations. They are renowned for their expertise in medicine and divination. The current head of the Qin family, Qin Wanshan, is eighty-five years old this year. He is a thin, unassuming old man, but he is one of the most extraordinary people in western Hunan.

At this moment, Qin Wanshan was sitting on his bamboo house, holding an old tablet computer and watching a video on it.

In the video, Chen Hao walks on water and slays a demon with a single sword strike.

He watched it three times, put down the tablet, picked up his teacup, and slowly took a sip.

"Grandpa, what do you think?" Qin Xiaoyu asked cautiously, standing to the side. She was Qin Wanshan's most beloved granddaughter and the most outstanding successor of the Qin family in this generation.

Qin Wanshan put down his teacup and slowly said, "His internal energy is released like a sword, and he walks on water as if on flat ground. I have never seen such a level of cultivation in my decades of life."

He paused, a glint of light flashing in his eyes: "That monster, if I'm not mistaken, was a Gu Diao. And a mutated, evolved king at that. To be able to kill such a ferocious beast with a single sword strike, this young man's strength is probably..."

"What are you afraid of?" Qin Xiaoyu pressed.

After a moment of silence, Qin Wanshan slowly uttered four words: "Unfathomable."

Qin Xiaoyu gasped.

Who was her grandfather? He was the head of the Qin family of Wuling Mountain, an expert in divination and esoteric arts, who had witnessed countless extraordinary people and events, and possessed extremely high standards. His cultivation had even surpassed the rare Returning to Truth Realm. She had never met anyone in her life who could utter the words "unfathomable."

"Grandpa, then we..."

Qin Wanshan put down his teacup and said in a deep voice, "Use our Qin family's official verified account to send a gift to that young man. Send him the biggest gift possible."

Qin Xiaoyu was taken aback: "Grandpa, our family has always been low-key and never gets involved in these things..."

"Times have changed." Qin Wanshan looked at her, his gaze deep. "Xiaoyu, you're still young and don't understand. Forging a good relationship with a powerful figure of this level is an immense opportunity for our Qin family."

He paused, then said, "Go and do it. Remember, be sincere and don't put on airs like some reclusive family. In front of someone like that, our little bit of wealth is nothing."

Qin Xiaoyu nodded emphatically: "Yes, Grandpa!"

She turned and left.

Qin Wanshan watched his granddaughter's retreating figure, then looked out the window at the Wuling Mountains, and murmured, "This world is about to change..."
