After observing Alfie and Raven's reluctant expressions, Gresham remarked expressionlessly, "Good to know you won't be troubling yourself on this too much."
He then turned around and strode into the ancient palace.
Gresham and the Primordial Sacred Land had made thorough preparations to obtain the True Immortal's essence and secure the opportunity in the Starry Ancient Palace. In doing so, Gresham had mobilized the most valuable divine protective weapons of the sacred land. Victory was a long-awaited moment for him.
As he neared the drop of True Immortal's essence suspended in the void, he sensed its powerful aura and the subtle shifts in the scriptures of philosophy. His face was rosy with excitement, and he took slow steps into the palace while being surrounded by the formidable power of the void's rules.
"Hahaha! I will secure the chance to become an immortal!" he declared triumphantly.
Gresham's hands trembled with excitement as he stood before the True Immortal's essence and channeled the vast spiritual energy of heaven and earth toward the essence. However, he was just about to claim the drop of True Immortal's essence when his smile faltered.
Despite his best efforts to dislodge the drop of essence, he was unable to do so. As soon as his surging spiritual energy came into contact with it, he was swiftly repelled by the overwhelming power of the rules.
"What's happening?" Gresham's eyes widened in astonishment and confusion. "Am I not using the correct technique to control my spiritual energy?"
With a tremor, he unleashed his perfect-stage level seven paragon aura that flooded the surrounding void with surging spiritual energy.
