Grand Return System

A Gift Beyond Words

Meanwhile...

Anna had finally broken free from the encirclement.

Her delicate breathing was slightly uneven after the fierce battle.

A few loose strands of her long pink hair danced gently in the wind.

Without stopping to rest, she immediately looked toward the Eternal Genesis Pill.

She wanted to obtain it as well.

Not for greed.

But because treasures like this were nearly impossible to encounter twice in one lifetime.

She stepped into the air.

Just as she prepared to pursue it...

A familiar white figure appeared before the lotus.

His speed was unbelievable.

With one graceful movement...

He reached out.

The glowing Eternal Genesis Pill gently landed in his palm.

Anna stopped in midair.

For a brief moment, surprise flashed across her beautiful face.

Then...

The moment she recognized who had obtained it...

Her bright red-pink eyes curved into a gentle smile.

Joy filled her heart.

It’s Leon...

A warmth she couldn’t describe spread through her chest.

If anyone in this world deserved such a treasure...

It was him.

However...

That joy lasted only a moment.

Soon...

A trace of hesitation appeared in her expression.

Her gaze slowly fell upon the Eternal Genesis Pill resting in Leon’s hand.

She wanted it too.

Not because she coveted Leon’s possessions.

But because treasures of this level could change a cultivator’s destiny.

Unfortunately...

Leon had already obtained it.

Could she really ask him for it?

Could she fight him over it?

The answer appeared almost instantly.

She shook her head.

A helpless smile escaped her lips.

"No..."

She quietly sighed.

If she tried to take it...

Wouldn’t that become a fight between boyfriend and girlfriend?

That...

Would practically count as domestic violence.

Anna couldn’t help imagining Leon standing opposite her with the First Mist Immortal Sword.

The thought alone made her puff her cheeks before softly laughing to herself.

"Not good..."

The smile lingering on her lips gradually softened.

"Hmm... forget it..."

She gently exhaled.

Any lingering desire quietly disappeared.

Leon had already given her countless precious treasures.

Sacred Arts.

Rare resources.

Supreme treasures.

Even opportunities that countless cultivators would spend their entire lives chasing.

He had never been stingy with her.

She already had more than enough.

If she still coveted the treasure in his hand...

Then what kind of person would she become?

That wasn’t the person she wanted to be.

Instead...

She should be happy.

After all...

The one who obtained the Eternal Genesis Pill wasn’t a stranger.

It was Leon.

Her temporary boyfriend.

The thought made the corners of her lips rise unconsciously.

A gentle blush quietly spread across her fair cheeks.

She slowly raised her head.

High above the ruined battlefield...

Leon floated beneath the endless sky.

His long black hair flowed freely in the wind.

His midnight robes embroidered with delicate amethyst patterns fluttered softly around him.

The First Mist Immortal Sword rested calmly in his hand.

Bathed in the fading golden light, his figure appeared impossibly elegant, detached from the mortal world.

Like an immortal who had descended from the heavens.

Anna’s beautiful eyes filled with warmth and admiration.

That white figure...

Was simply too otherworldly.

Too breathtaking.

Too unforgettable.

She looked up at the sky with love in her eyes. That white figure was so otherworldly and stunning...

-------------------

He stood alone in the dark sky.

Leon held the First Mist Immortal Sword in one hand, standing beneath the endless heavens like an immortal who had descended into the mortal world. His midnight robes, embroidered with delicate amethyst patterns, fluttered gently in the cold wind. His long black hair swayed behind him, while his purple eyes calmly overlooked the battlefield below.

There was no arrogance in his expression.

No pride.

Only quiet confidence.

In his other hand rested the glowing eight-petaled Eternal Genesis Pill. Soft golden radiance flowed from the lotus, illuminating his face as though heaven itself had chosen him.

The First Mist Immortal Sword gave a faint hum.

Buzz...

Its clear sword cry echoed through the silent battlefield, as if delivering a single message to everyone present.

Who dares take another step?

No one moved.

Not a single cultivator dared advance.

The once-chaotic battlefield had become eerily silent.

Only the sound of the wind remained.

Scattered across the broken earth were countless shattered weapons, pools of blood, and the bodies of Pinnacle Realm experts who had fallen beneath Leon’s sword.

Every corpse reminded them of the same terrifying truth.

This young man...

Could not be challenged.

One elder swallowed nervously.

"...It’s over."

Another cultivator slowly lowered his weapon.

"The Eternal Genesis Pill..."

"It was never destined for us."

Someone laughed bitterly.

"We were blinded by greed."

"And nearly paid for it with our lives."

Another looked toward Leon and sighed deeply.

"With strength like his..."

"Who among us can compete?"

Silence answered him.

No one could.

No one even dared to claim otherwise.

"Let’s go..."

A middle-aged cultivator was the first to turn around.

He didn’t even look back.

Seeing someone leave, the remaining survivors quickly followed.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

One figure after another disappeared into the distance.

They no longer had the courage to remain.

Previously, dozens of experts had joined forces.

Even then...

They had failed.

The Butcher had died.

Caelan Everwind had fled in humiliation.

With those two outcomes before their eyes, who would still dare provoke Leon?

That would simply be courting death.

Within moments...

The crowded battlefield became nearly empty.

Only a handful of people remained.

Anna.

Leon.

Eldric Northwind.

Along with several experts who had never joined the attack.

The atmosphere immediately became much more peaceful.

Eldric Northwind stroked his long gray beard before letting out a hearty laugh.

"Haha..."

He slowly walked forward, admiration filling his eyes.

"Congratulations, Fellow Principleist."

"You defeated every enemy before you and successfully obtained the Eternal Genesis Pill."

He looked around at the devastated battlefield before shaking his head with amazement.

"I’ve cultivated for countless years, yet today I have witnessed something I never imagined possible."

He smiled warmly.

"Fellow Principleist, your performance today was truly unparalleled."

"Peerlessly magnificent."

"Unique beneath the heavens."

"I am sincerely impressed."

Another elder standing nearby nodded repeatedly.

"Indeed."
