Grand Return System

An Unexpected Fortune [Part -2]

Leon mood became brighter by the second.

As expected...

Ever since Anna entered his life, his luck seemed to have completely changed.

"My lucky goddess really is extraordinary."

His heart couldn’t help feeling grateful.

Yet what truly surprised him wasn’t the defensive ability.

Instead...

It was the hidden description written beneath the two garments.

The Eternal Moon Sovereign Robe and the Eternal Moon Celestial Gown were created as a matched immortal treasure.

When worn separately, each possessed unparalleled defensive abilities.

When worn together by two people whose hearts truly belonged to one another...

The robes would awaken additional hidden powers.

Leon raised an eyebrow.

"So there’s another effect..."

A mysterious smile appeared across his face.

"I’ll study that later."

There was no need to rush.

After all...

Anna wasn’t going anywhere.

"Hehe... not bad. Very, very good."

Still unable to hide his satisfaction, Leon called out once more.

"System."

The familiar mechanical voice immediately echoed inside his mind.

[Ding! You have given a low-grade Eternal Genesis Pill to your beloved.]

[Critical Return has been triggered.]

[Activate?]

Leon answered without hesitation.

"Activate it."

The system responded instantly.

[Ding...]

[Congratulations.]

[20,000× Critical Return activated.]

[Reward obtained.]

[Supreme-grade Eternal Genesis Pill.]

[Reward upgraded into: Ancient Amethyst Genesis Lotus.]

For a brief moment...

Leon completely froze.

His heartbeat skipped.

Then his eyes widened.

"Hiss..."

He couldn’t stop himself from inhaling sharply.

"Ancient Amethyst Genesis Lotus..."

Even his normally calm expression nearly broke.

He had expected a generous reward.

He had not expected something this outrageous.

The original Eternal Genesis Pill had merely been a low-grade longevity treasure.

Now...

After a twenty-thousand-fold return...

It had transformed into one of the supreme treasures of heaven and earth.

The Ancient Amethyst Genesis Lotus radiated endless life essence, ancient Mana, and boundless vitality. Just sensing its aura through the system made Leon feel every strand of Mana inside his body become lively.

Its purple petals shimmered like fragments of the night sky.

Ancient runes slowly revolved around it.

Every pulse released waves of life force capable of nourishing even a dying world.

Leon swallowed.

"I’ve really struck gold this time..."

His excitement grew stronger.

With this supreme treasure...

Breaking into the Martial Sovereign Realm would no longer be an impossible dream.

He had only recently stepped into the Pinnacle Realm.

Ordinary cultivators would spend decades...

Some would spend centuries...

Trying to cross the next great boundary.

Yet now...

A path had already appeared before him.

If everything went smoothly, he could soon step into the Martial Sovereign Realm.

After that...

The Martial Emperor Realm would no longer seem so distant.

A smile slowly spread across his face.

"The legend..."

"...that no Martial Emperor has appeared in the Fallen Leaf Domain for ten thousand years..."

"...might finally be broken."

Just imagining it filled him with anticipation.

His thoughts wandered for only an instant before he returned to reality.

Standing beside him...

Anna was quietly admiring the Eternal Genesis Pill she had just accepted.

Her beautiful pink hair danced softly in the breeze.

Her delicate smile carried a happiness she could barely hide.

Looking at her...

Leon suddenly felt that every reward he had received today began with her.

Without thinking much further...

He gently reached out, pulled Anna a little closer, and leaned over.

A soft kiss landed against her rosy cheek.

Anna immediately froze.

Her beautiful eyes blinked several times in confusion.

The warmth lingering on her cheek made her face turn bright red almost instantly.

She slowly lifted her head and looked at Leon.

"What happened?"

Her voice was soft, carrying both curiosity and embarrassment.

Leon coughed lightly.

Nothing could be said about the system.

Its existence belonged to him alone.

So he simply smiled.

"Nothing."

"I suddenly thought of something happy."

His tone sounded perfectly natural.

Anna tilted her head.

"Something happy?"

She looked at him suspiciously.

"What kind of happy thing?"

Leon merely smiled.

"You’ll know someday."

Anna puffed her cheeks slightly.

"What mysterious answer is that?"

She wanted to ask more.

Yet seeing the bright smile on his face...

She couldn’t help smiling as well.

If he was happy...

Then she was happy too.

That simple thought was enough.

Leon slowly turned away.

His thoughts shifted back toward the newly acquired immortal treasure.

With a single thought...

The Eternal Moon Sovereign Robe emerged from the system.

Countless strands of silver-purple light quietly wrapped around his body.

The midnight robes he had worn dissolved into starlight.

Layer after layer of dazzling immortal silk flowed over his shoulders.

The robe was deep black with elegant amethyst patterns woven across its surface like rivers of stars.

Silver moonlight shimmered along its sleeves.

Ancient celestial symbols slowly appeared before fading beneath the fabric.

Every movement caused faint ripples of immortal light to spread through the air.

His long black hair drifted behind him.

His purple eyes reflected endless stars.

At that instant...

It felt as though an ancient sovereign had stepped out from the endless heavens.

An overwhelming immortal aura descended silently.

Even the surrounding space seemed unable to bear its pressure.

The breeze stopped.

The drifting dust became still.

The atmosphere itself grew heavy.

Anna instinctively held her breath.

Her beautiful eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Leon.

An indescribable pressure washed over her.

It wasn’t hostility.

Nor was it killing intent.

It was simply the overwhelming majesty carried by an immortal treasure that stood far beyond ordinary comprehension.

For the first time since meeting him...

She felt that the man standing before her seemed almost unreal.

Like someone destined to stand above countless worlds.

The astonishing immortal aura pouring from the Eternal Moon Sovereign Robe pressed gently upon the surroundings, causing Anna’s breathing to become tense.
