Chapter 715: Chapter 48: The Immortal Dispels Doubts

"Immortal! Immortal..."

A hurried voice came from the road not far behind.

It was that large group of people who had finally arrived, probably rushing too fast on this stretch of road, each breathing heavily, a crowd of hundreds swarming to the outskirts of the village.

The villagers seemed to notice something as well, and looked on curiously. Witch Naoki also frowned slightly; how could such a large group suddenly swarm onto the island without her noticing? She instinctively glanced at the White-clothed Daoist who had returned to normal.

"You’ve come..."

Gu Mo interrupted his thoughts, calmly glanced back at the crowd, already having made a decision in his heart, and gestured to Miss Naoki to reassure her.

Regardless of whether they have just learned or have been pursuing it for so long, there might be some assumptions among them. Although, in reality, they may not understand what kind of price they must pay to get what they need.

What is called opportunity is the combination of chance and fate.

Ultimately, it also requires one’s own practice; whether you can seize it is up to you, there’s nothing more to say, that’s just how it is.

"..."

"..."

The scene quieted down, and the panting people instinctively held their breath, their faces flushed red. In the instant that the gaze of the young Daoist opposite swept past, their bodies instinctively straightened. They were very clear that the jade-embodied, divine Daoist before them was the same dragon from before!

Despite the incredibility, since they did not stay on the ship but came along, it showed they accepted Joseph and the others’ claims.

Besides...

When the pair of blue eyes swept across indifferently, they instinctively felt the same pressure as before, exactly the same majesty.

Indifferent and cold-hearted, when the gaze swept over, it made one feel as if their consciousness almost stopped thinking, just like before, when it felt like a high and mighty Great God was looking down from the heavens, gazing coldly from above.

Whether the language was familiar or unfamiliar didn’t impede their understanding of its meaning, akin to the same booming telepathy from before.

Therefore, in this instant, they naturally had no more doubts!

"Im-Imm-Immortal..."

The elder, vaguely the leader among them, stammered as he spoke at this moment. Although the suffocating pressure lasted only a brief instant, it was frightening enough, just like the instinctive fear of encountering a natural enemy; he felt his body stiffening.

And because of previous experience, he hadn’t expected the originally balanced and natural, amiable-speaking Immortal to suddenly display such a frightening aura, deeply unsettling.

Caught off guard by this sudden contrast, he couldn’t help feeling an inner panic, thinking recklessly about whether he had done something wrong, or whether the Immortal disliked seeing so many people. At this moment, the elder was both nervous and vexed.

"I understand your pursuits, but if you truly wish to remain on the island, it’s best to think it through..."

Gu Mo didn’t think too much, he just said blandly. He simply wanted to manifest that innate pressure felt from genetic instinct, to prove himself to this group.

Certainly, he didn’t need to do this, but there might always be some who have quirky minds, doubting this possibility, doubting that authenticity, trying hard to create sensational news... Now, with a little intimidation, etching awe into their life instinct can prevent many troubles.

After all, it’s just a handy thing to do, so why not?

"I’ll stay! I’ll stay!"

As if worried it was a tactful attempt to dissuade them, the elder and middle-aged people were the first to speak, decisively, fearing that delaying even a step would cost them this chance.

And after they took the lead, similar voices began echoing among the crowd.

"No need to rush, you have the right to choose, but I’m saying it’s best to think it through..." The White-clothed Daoist smiled slightly, making everyone feel as if bathed in spring breeze at this moment. As if the suffocating pressure from before was merely an illusion. But precisely because of the strong contrast, it left a deeper impression.

"What you want, I’m fully aware, but it boils down to longevity, power."

"But understand one thing, not everyone can obtain them. I’m not here to fulfill your wishes, I can only give you the method to obtain them, whether or not you can succeed through your efforts is your own business."

"So please be sure you know clearly before deciding, you must comprehend sacrifice and choice... If you end up with empty results, it’s likely not what you want to see. Although I don’t insist you abandon the outer world, you should understand the unique nature of this island..."

Spoke calmly, Daoist’s eyes manifested a scrutinizing significance, his gaze equally observing all faces.

"Although next I’ll adjust the Time Flow Speed of the island, it won’t keep a constant openness to the outside, so consider it earnestly."
