Comprehending the Dao Rhyme of Life and Death

Three years ago, Chen Fan comprehended the Taiji Diagram within his body and gained insight into the Great Dao of Life and Death, Reincarnation. After spending more than nine years, he had finally found a sliver of an opportunity for breakthrough. So long as he cultivated for another ten years, he might be able to break through—but people from the Heavenly Dao Sect came looking for him. With no other choice, he took the Ten-Thousand-Year Strong Wine Pill. Unexpectedly, it instead aided his comprehension of the Great Dao, at the cost of exhausting his lifespan. Yet this stroke of fortune was not to be underestimated.

Trading several thousand years for ten years might not have been worthwhile, but for Chen Fan now, it was absolutely a stroke of fortune.

His remaining hundred years of lifespan posed no problem. So long as his Great Dao broke through, once he entered the late stage of Spirit Division in the future, his lifespan would increase as well.

"The Sword Arts combine, and Reincarnation comes in the future—interesting. I never expected that, despite commanding techniques with so many variations, I had never realized this. This time, I've truly gained much. It's just that the price of bringing Reincarnation into the future is somewhat too great." Chen Fan gave a faint, bitter smile and muttered to himself. Then he slowly closed his eyes and entered a state of cultivation.

At this moment, the Taiji Diagram within his dantian had become incomparably radiant. Black and white stood distinctly apart, strands of divine brilliance flowing through it, its Dao resonance vast and majestic.

Between him and a higher level of the Great Dao stood only a single door. Now, he had to push it open and step into the world beyond.

Boom—!

A silent thunderclap rang out
