"Opportunity knocks but once." Duge looked at them and said, "Cultivation is like rowing upstream; not to advance is to drop back. If you retreat today and again tomorrow, there will come a day when you can retreat no further.
If one day, all of you Dao friends truly ascend to the Immortal Realm, won't you regret not having comprehended the Daoist Rhyme when it was laid out before you today?
Immortals enjoy longevity, rather than being haunted by regret every day, why not bravely take that step today? My fellow Dao friends, those willing to perceive the Daoist Rhyme and walk with me, feel free to stand alongside the Dao friend who stepped out first..."
Duge's words had a strong stirring effect, especially since someone had already taken the lead. Those who had just gleaned some insights into the Daoist Rhyme immediately stepped forward, gave Duge a fist salute, and then paid respects to Xu Jinkui before joining the person who had stepped out first.
