Chapter 573: To Hear the Dao in the Morning, Dying Without Regret in the Evening Is Enough

The crowd suddenly comprehended.

That the Reincarnation Heavenly Book was in the past time-space meant no matter how diligently they pursued it, they could never find its trace.

After all, only the Dao Ancestor could traverse ancient and modern times.

But upon reaching the Dao Ancestor Realm, the Reincarnation Heavenly Book was nearly useless; naturally, they would not choose to exert great effort to subdue it for the sake of one book.

Luo Qianchen smiled as brightly as a blooming flower.

As she gazed at the Reincarnation Heavenly Book, she felt an intimate and familiar sensation, as if they were originally one entity; the book to her was like fish to water.

A faint smile curved at the corner of Feng Suiyuan’s lips.

He stepped toward the book.

"Daoist friend, do not go."

At that instant, a voice resounded in Feng Suiyuan’s mind: "If you do not take action, the Dao Clan has no reason to kill you; if you act, you will surely die without doubt!"

"Amitabha."

Following that, a Buddhist chant came; it was the Great Celestial Lord of Karma from Bodhi Temple: "Viewing the Heavenly Book was the cause; today is the effect."

"This daoist friend has made up his mind; why should we obstruct him?"

"Hahaha…"

Feng Suiyuan laughed boisterously: "Daoist friend’s words have deeply moved my heart."

As his eyes swept across, one Great Celestial Lord after another appeared in his view: the Celestial Lord of Fortune, the Celestial Lord of Fortune, the Great Celestial Lord of Karma, the Celestial Lord of Time, the Epochal Celestial Lord, the Infinite Celestial Lord, and the Obliteration Daoist.

Seven Great Celestial Lords.

"There might still be a turning point."

The Infinite Celestial Lord spoke gravely.

"There is none."

The Celestial Lord of Time shook his head: "Daoist brother Hongmeng has not arrived; if she does not appear, daoist friend Reincarnation will surely die."

"It is merely death."

Feng Suiyuan was unconcerned.

"Do all of you not know the saying: hearing the Dao in the morning, one can die content in the evening?"

While speaking, he continued moving toward the Reincarnation Heavenly Book.

The outline of the book grew clearer in Feng Suiyuan’s eyes; at one glance, that book resembled a vast reincarnation world; after looking at it, one unconsciously fell into the cycle of reincarnation and might find it hard to awaken for myriad lifetimes.

But Feng Suiyuan grasped the Reincarnation Dao with lofty mastery; the power of the Reincarnation Heavenly Book could not confuse him.

"The Hall Master of the Reincarnation Hall has appeared."

The Eternal Celestial Lord slightly curved his lips: "The good play has started."

"He was always here," said Celestial Lord Linglong, her gaze extremely complicated; even an outsider knew that once Feng Suiyuan acted, he would surely die beyond any doubt.

Still, he did not evade.

"A real man," Ye Li praised.

Luo Qinchuan’s face showed killing intent.

Feng Suiyuan walked to the front of the Reincarnation Heavenly Book and stood facing Luo Qianchen.

"Master," Luo Qianchen said as she bowed respectfully.

Feng Suiyuan nodded, his gaze falling upon the Reincarnation Heavenly Book. The book was massive, carved with many mysterious characters using the Innate Reincarnation Dao, explaining the ultimate mystery of the Reincarnation Dao.

"Back then, I, your master, saw this very page, felt blessed inspiration, and understood the Reincarnation Dao Scripture, rising from an unknown youth to become one of the strongest Great Celestial Lords ever."

Feng Suiyuan felt deep emotion.

"Just as the Daoist friend Karma said, the past was the cause, and today is the effect."

Luo Qianchen’s long eyelashes trembled slightly.

"Master, if we stop now, is there still time?" Luo Qianchen dissuaded with complex feelings.

Rumble!

Suddenly.

Inside the Dao Yuan Palace, a terrifying wave emerged.

Luo Qinchuan held a jade ruyi.

He was covered in divine patterns, his immortal light like jade, and one hundred and eight Great Dao Worlds opened, pouring immense power constantly into the jade ruyi.

On that jade ruyi, the image of a destroyed world appeared.

Epochal treasure!

Obviously.

The Dao Clan had firmly decided to kill Feng Suiyuan.

"Wait a moment."

Luo Qianchen transmitted her voice.

"If we don’t kill him now, future troubles may come," Luo Qinchuan said.

"Master’s lifelong greatest dream has been to control the Heavenly Book. Though impossible, the book is right here; let him see it properly."

Luo Qianchen murmured softly.

Luo Qinchuan furrowed his brows and ultimately did not act immediately.

Feng Suiyuan smiled.

He activated the Reincarnation Dao and touched the Reincarnation Heavenly Book with his palm.

Buzz!

Instantly, the Heavenly Book trembled slightly and was flipped to the next page by Feng Suiyuan.

Everyone stared intently.

However, they were unable to see the new page’s written content.

Feng Suiyuan turned the pages of the Heavenly Book one by one, his aura growing stronger, his eyes glowing with divine light, and endless insights flooding out from his heart.

It seemed about to break through barriers and transcend limits.

"Why hasn’t the Dao Clan acted yet?" Eternal Celestial Lord said with a fierce expression.

"Becoming a Dao Ancestor, could it be so simple?" Mu Fanyin said indifferently, "Perhaps after seeing the Heavenly Book, Feng Suiyuan would comprehend everything, but he no longer had time to achieve the Dao Ancestor Realm."

The Reincarnation Heavenly Book could only be mastered by one person.

Similarly, the Dao Clan would not permit a person who grasped the secrets of the Reincarnation Heavenly Book to live in the world.

"So that’s how it is."

Feng Suiyuan’s smile grew more intense.

"I have been trapped in the Great Celestial Lord Realm for a long time, and now, after glimpsing the Reincarnation Heavenly Book, I finally understood how to advance to the Dao Ancestor Realm."

"It’s a pity, there isn’t enough time."

His expression was regretful.

Boom!

Suddenly.

Feng Suiyuan’s magic power erupted as a Reincarnation Heavenly Wheel appeared from behind his head, carrying the marvels of reincarnation. The Great Dao Worlds within his body opened and, united under the Reincarnation Dao, merged perfectly.

He struck at Luo Qianchen with a palm strike, and his cyclical powers were unparalleled. He was trying to subdue her.

"Master, do you mean to kill me?"

Luo Qianchen said in alarm.

She immediately channeled her magic power. The Reincarnation Heavenly Book swayed, and a massive divine force burst out. It instantly broke Feng Suiyuan’s powers and blasted him tens of thousands of miles away.

The abrupt scene stunned everyone.

"Feng Suiyuan was a sensible man, and a decent one." Mu Fanyin sighed.

He was deliberately giving the Dao Clan a pretext they had to kill him.

With his abilities, he couldn’t affect the Reincarnation Heavenly Book at all.

"It was like returning a favor." Ye Li chuckled, but deep in his eyes, there was hidden confusion.

In truth, he had never understood why seekers of the Dao like Mad Daoist, Yan Changkong, and Feng Suiyuan would pursue the Dao their entire lives and perish without regret.

But regardless, Feng Suiyuan deserved respect.

"Seek death!"

Luo Qinchuan was furious.

A world-shaking great divine power erupted. The jade ruyi transformed into a realm of destruction and pulled Feng Suiyuan into it.

In an instant.

The Great Dao was extinguished, the primordial spirit withered, and the flesh decayed.

Under the force of the destruction tribulation, even eons would crumble, so how much more a Great Celestial Lord?

"Farewell, Daoist friend."

The seven Celestial Lords of Fortune reacted differently—some had tears welling in their eyes, others were overcome with sorrow, and a few even bore expressions of indignation. Yet without exception, they all felt a pang of grief as though faced with their own demise.

Bowing toward Feng Suiyuan’s direction, the seven paid their final respects.

"We bid farewell to Master."

Meanwhile, the Reincarnation Heavenly Book had transformed into an ordinary tome.

Luo Qianchen held the book, her aura restrained, as she knelt in the void and kowtowed once.

Bang!

The terrifying power of decay gnawed away at Feng Suiyuan’s primordial spirit, flesh, and Great Dao.

That divine ability perfectly exploited his weakness.

Resistance was impossible.

Feng Suiyuan’s expression remained serene, utterly free of reluctance.

Having glimpsed the complete Reincarnation Heavenly Book before death, his final wish was fulfilled.

"He who learns the Dao in the morning may die content ere nightfall."

In that moment,

a flood of realizations surged through his mind.

Pity—he had no time left to organize these epiphanies, much less advance to Dao Ancestor.

"Qianchen, remember your master’s parting words."

Feng Suiyuan’s last message echoed in Luo Qianchen’s consciousness.

"In the Reincarnation Hall lies what your master left for you."

Bang!

With those words, Feng Suiyuan’s body shattered. His primordial spirit and Great Dao were entirely ground to dust by the decaying force of the epoch’s destruction—vanished without a trace.

"Uncle Master!"

The First Young Master shut his eyes heavily.

"We bid farewell to Uncle Master!"

The Seven Young Masters knelt to send him off.

"Farewell, Daoist friend!"

Celestial Lord Linglong clasped her fists in salute.

After this day, the world would know Great Celestial Lord of Reincarnation no more—only the Reincarnation Heavenly Lord Luo remained!
