605: hesitate
It seemed he had indeed been too cautious.
He had actually wasted so much time.
Watching his Third Prince achieve a Breakthrough now, it was impossible for him not to feel a sense of disparity.
He immediately jumped into the Immortal Pool without any hesitation.
However, what he didn't see was a flicker of a strange glint in Dongfang Yao's eyes at that moment.
He then looked at the two members of the Wang Family beside him.
"Aren't you two planning to come in for a soak? The Opportunity within is significant. With my talent and current Realm, I was able to achieve a True Immortal Breakthrough. There's no reason why you two can't advance further. Perhaps you won't even need to compete for the spirit fruits to reach the Middle Stage of the True Immortal Realm."
As soon as this was said, Wang Yan's face immediately showed a hint of interest.
Clearly, he had been thinking the same thing.
However, he was not in a hurry to do this.
Instead, he looked at Wang Gou beside him.
Although he himself was somewhat impatient,
After all, in recent times, many within the Wang Family had already achieved a True Immortal Realm Breakthrough.
While he and Wang Gou remained at the Supreme Peak.
Now that they had this Opportunity, it was naturally urgent.
But at this moment, Wang Gou's eyes suddenly narrowed.
He had felt something was fishy about this matter before.
However, as everyone else's Realm improved and they entered, and later some even achieved a True Immortal Realm Breakthrough, his doubts vanished, and he decided to come and see.
But at this very moment, he suddenly felt that his earlier suspicions were not unfounded.
Seeing Wang Yan about to step into the pool,
Wang Gou grabbed him.
"Don't rush, don't go down."
Wang Yan was startled when he heard this, then turned his head and looked at him with some confusion.
"What? Still unwilling?"
Wang Gou gently shook his head.
"Such an Opportunity isn't truly necessary for the two of us. With our talent, as long as we spend some time, we will eventually be able to achieve a Realm Breakthrough. So, this Opportunity isn't a must-have."
Wang Yan became a little anxious when he heard this.
"While talent can certainly lead to a Breakthrough, the time it requires is substantial. Are we just going to wait like this?"
"Wang Changfeng and others in the Family achieved a True Immortal Realm Breakthrough a long time ago. Are we still going to remain in this Realm?"
As he spoke, a trace of despondency flashed in Wang Yan's eyes.
He had been the first Genius to follow Wang Dong.
But now, he was falling behind.
What he couldn't understand was that he had clearly seen Wang Gou being tempted to enter earlier.
He didn't expect him to suddenly change his mind at such a crucial moment.
To reject such a good Opportunity, and even leave and prevent him from entering to achieve a Breakthrough.
What was he after?
As he was thinking this, Wang Gou had already quickly left.
Helpless, Wang Yan could only follow.
At the same time, Dongfang Yao, who was soaking in the pool, had a purple glow flash in his eyes.
Immediately after, he lightly bit his teeth.
He hadn't expected these two to still be so cautious.
Their refusal to soak in the pool added some risk to his plan.
Never mind, there was no need to control it so precisely. With his strength, eliminating these two was not difficult.
Even if they didn't soak, what could they do?
However... a figure suddenly flashed through Dongfang Yao's mind.
For him, dealing with these two in front of him was not difficult.
The one who was truly difficult to handle was the Battle Wolf.
This person's strength was extremely formidable; he had even displayed his Divine Might on multiple occasions before.
Even with his current enhanced strength, trying to eliminate him would be extremely difficult.
After a moment of thought, he came back to his senses.
He glanced at Dongfang Chen, who was sitting cross-legged not far away, and a strange smile flashed in his eyes.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Wang Yan and Wang Gou had already left the Thatched Hut.
They returned to the bamboo forest.
Wang Yan immediately pressed him.
"What's going on? Why did you suddenly reject that great Opportunity just now? Why?"
Although Wang Yan's words showed no dissatisfaction, he still wanted to find out the truth.
His face was full of surprise and disbelief.
To think that such an easily accessible Opportunity was right in front of them, and they would reject it?
The example was right there.
The Third Prince had directly achieved a True Immortal Breakthrough with the help of this Immortal Pool.
If they had gone in, they could have achieved even better results.
Wang Gou gently shook his head when he heard this.
"If you ask me, I don't know either. I even wavered on whether to enter."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yan immediately became anxious.
"Since you were also planning to enter, why did you back out at the last moment?"
Wang Gou smiled slightly when he heard this.
"There must be something fishy about that pool. Not going in is the best choice for us."
What he hadn't told the other person was that at the most crucial moment, just as he was about to enter, a voice came from his ear.
It was the Battle Wolf's.
Although he didn't know why the Battle Wolf would specifically remind him, the Battle Wolf had taken good care of them along the way.
Since the Battle Wolf said there was something fishy and told them not to go down, coupled with his own sudden uneasy feeling about the pool, he simply went with his gut and pulled Wang Yan back.
Wang Yan was startled when he heard this.
Then he asked, somewhat confused,
"What could be fishy? So many people went in before, and nothing happened. Some even achieved a True Immortal Realm Breakthrough."
"Could it be that you're overly sensitive? You know, so many people soaked in there and their Realm improved significantly. If they all improve and we stay put, we'll probably fall behind."
"And those who improved will probably look at us as fools."
At this point, Wang Yan couldn't help but show a bitter smile.
However, he didn't say much more.
The other person's personality was just like that.
Better safe than sorry; being cautious in this Grand Dao Secret Manual was not wrong.
It was just that he felt a pang of regret in his heart, perhaps having missed an Opportunity.
Wang Gou saw that the other person's words seemed to contain some discomfort.
So he spoke again.
"There's no need to complain like this. There's naturally a problem with that Immortal Pool not letting you go down. You'll know when the time comes."
"Although I can't tell you exactly what the problem is now, I can certainly tell you that there's definitely something fishy about it. It's best for the two of us not to enter."
Wang Yan nodded, tacitly agreeing to the matter.
So the two of them waited quietly outside.
But a full half hour passed, and they didn't see anyone come out.
Wang Yan immediately became curious.
