Myriad Rivers Return to Origin Method

[ Ding! Achievement "Become Famous in One Area" achieved!]

[Reward: Myriad Rivers Return to Origin Method!]

The system notification sounded in Ling Yun's mind.

[Myriad Rivers Return to Origin Method: Its concept was lofty and profound, and its system was vast. It tempered the source of the spirit, expanded the borders of the mind sea, and formed the cornerstone for ascending to the highest heights.]

The system's brief introduction contained power enough to make one's heart tremble.

An increase in spiritual strength and capacity?

This was practically the supreme treasure all cultivators dreamed of! Especially for him, a Foundation Establishment cultivator practicing in the modern city, its importance went without saying.

After all, there was no spiritual energy in this world for cultivation, while cultivating spiritual power did not require it.

"Become Famous in One Area..." Ling Yun silently repeated the next realm objective from the system notification, a look of understanding flashing through his eyes.

From livestreamed games and singing to magic tricks, he had indeed stirred up several circles, his followers surging to twenty million as he dominated the trending searches.

But becoming an iconic figure in some vast field would still require time and accumulation.

This Myriad Rivers Return to Origin Method had come at exactly the right time!

"Claim reward."

As soon as he spoke, a mass of vast and profound knowledge suddenly appeared in his mind.

Without the slightest hesitation, Ling Yun gathered his thoughts and sat cross-legged.

His consciousness sank into his mind sea, and he began guiding it along that profound route.

Buzz—

Like the first ray of light at the dawn of the universe.

Consciousness was no longer an ethereal thought. Instead, it transformed into countless fine yet resilient strands of spiritual power. Following the wondrous path outlined by the Myriad Rivers Return to Origin Method, they began to slowly circulate and weave through his mind sea.

At first, they were like trickling streams, difficult and slow. Every push of his thoughts felt like he was carving through solid ice.

Gradually, the technique began to flow smoothly.

The spiritual strands were no longer streams. They transformed into ceaselessly surging rivers, roaring through specific "river channels" and washing against the borders of his mind sea.

With every cycle, Ling Yun could clearly feel an indescribable sense of "solidity" and "expansion."

His fatigue and distracting thoughts were completely cleansed away by that ceaseless torrent of spiritual power. In their place was an unprecedented clarity, depth, and... vastness!

Myriad Rivers Return to Origin!

He seemed to be standing at the source of a sea of consciousness, watching countless tributaries of spiritual power converge from all directions before ultimately merging into one, forming an endless sea of consciousness that was calm yet contained terrifying power.

His spiritual power was undergoing a qualitative transformation, a sublimation!

Foundation Establishment cultivators already no longer needed sleep. Practicing this technique now made him feel even more that time had lost its meaning, with every minute and second bringing progress on the spiritual level.

Before he knew it, time had reached dawn. Ling Yun slowly opened his eyes.

After a night of cultivation, his spirit was not the least bit tired. Instead, it was brimming with vitality to the utmost degree.

"What an extraordinary Myriad Rivers Return to Origin Method! Its concept is lofty and reaches directly toward the source. As expected, it truly lives up to its reputation!"

Ling Yun marveled inwardly. For a technique to replace sleep after Foundation Establishment, none could compare to this! The value of this achievement reward far exceeded his imagination.

Immediately afterward, Ling Yun picked up his phone and opened the backend of his Douyin account.

He discovered that his follower count had already reached 20,000,000+.

When he opened the trending list, he found that most of the current trending topics were related to him.

1. #Ling Chen Asks for Immortality! The performed talent had once again achieved godhood! (Explosive)

2. #Divine Ling—Magic Trick or Actual Magic? (Explosive)

3. #Gained 20 Million Followers in Two Days—What Talent Does This Streamer Have? (Hot)

Seeing these classic clickbait titles, Ling Yun laughed as well.

This also proved a certain principle: when people were speechless, they could laugh too.

Each of these titles was incredibly good at drawing people's attention.

Ling Yun opened the trending list and discovered that the video with the highest number of views was not his own, but an official announcement video.

After watching it, Ling Yun also understood the cause of the matter.

After Ling Yun ended his stream yesterday, the magic trick he had performed caused a huge uproar online.

Quite a few bloggers who were jealous of how quickly Ling Yun had gained followers wanted to crack his magic trick and take a share of the profits.

However, without exception, not a single person could crack it.

After all, Ling Yun had used a Storage Space. It would have been strange if anyone could crack it.

After numerous clowns failed to "decipher" it, they instead slandered him by claiming he had used special effects.

As the number of people making accusations grew, all the viewers who had not watched that livestream were brainwashed by them and began cursing Ling Yun online.

At that moment, Douyin's official response was as swift as thunder. With the hard-line stance of "permanently banning accounts that spread rumors" and "a lawyer's letter warning," it crushed the ridiculous farce into pieces and released a stern official announcement.

After watching it, Ling Yun had not expected so much to happen in a single night. At the same time, he could not help wanting to give Douyin's official account a thumbs-up.

He opened the comments beneath the announcement video posted by the official account to see what the netizens had to say.

[Awesome. It still has to be Divine Ling. He actually has the authorities backing him. Who can oppose him now?]

[I watched Divine Ling's magic trick yesterday. It really was just like actual magic, so it's no wonder so many people falsely accused him.]

[The person above, who exactly is Divine Ling? Help me tag him?]

[@Ling Chen Asks for Immortality, this is the all-round streamer. He doesn't just know magic tricks—he also plays games and sings.]

No wonder he had gained another five million followers overnight. It turned out that it was all thanks to those bloggers' accusations and the fans promoting him in the video comments.

After learning the whole story, Ling Yun had no idea what he should do that day.

So he simply continued cultivating his Myriad Rivers Return to Origin Method.

Cultivation knew no years. In the blink of an eye, it was already eight in the evening, the time Ling Yun usually livestreamed.

Without hesitation, he started the livestream directly.

After four hours of battling, the Peak Tournament score on Ling Yun's second account had reached 2,400 points, making him second on the rankings.

The fans in the livestream room were also thoroughly amazed. It was their first time seeing a top-ten Peak Tournament match look just like a match against bots.

"Brothers, I won't be able to livestream for you every day from now on. Your streamer still has to go to school."

Ling Yun did not want to livestream every day, so he gave an explanation even he did not believe.

After all, Douyin only required him to livestream thirty hours a month, and these three days had already added up to nearly twenty hours.

[The dog streamer has gotten arrogant. He's too lazy even to livestream now.]

[Streamer, study hard!]

[I don't know what's going on in the streamer's head. If I had an account with twenty million followers, why would I still go to school?]

[What if the streamer simply likes studying?]

Seeing the comments begin to argue, Ling Yun did not offer any explanation.

"Brothers, I'm ending the stream. I'll livestream from time to time in the future. Of course, I'll post a notification on my Douyin account before each stream, so those who haven't followed me yet should give the streamer a follow. Bye-bye."

After saying that, Ling Yun ended the livestream without waiting for the fans in the room to react.

With nothing else to do after ending the stream, Ling Yun once again began cultivating the Myriad Rivers Return to Origin Method, just as he had during the day.
