    There is this quote on the Dao, I remember from both novels. I think it is an adage used in both of them. I can't remember how it goes. something along the lines of hearing the Dao or receiving enlightenment on it during the day and something else happening during the night. it follows the cycle of a day. I know it's a little to go on but I want the full quote if anyone knows it.

    I think the quote you are looking for was used in a recent chapter (end of ch40) of the jiang ye manhwa.
    The master said at the time in praise: "Hearing of the way in the morning, and realizing the way in the evening, is something even beyond me."
    In different translations it may be the dao instead of way

    "We Cultivators don’t just practice cultivation to gain eternal life. No, we pursue the Dao…. For those who strive after the Dao, life is a morning and death is an evening. For those who seek the Dao, when evening comes, of what use is longing…?” - Ke Yunhai, 597

    is that the one you are looking for?

    This is good, but i think the one I was looking for came from Meng Hao. It might have been when he answered when someone asked him what the Dao was

    There's a quote from Confucius which I think these other quotes are taking inspiration from:

    子曰。朝聞道、夕死可矣
    Roughly: "One who comprehends the Dao in the morning can die without regret in the evening."
