Dao Realm

The Dao Realm is the level above the Great Encompassing Heavenly Immortal. Not much is known about this realm other than the fact that it's almost impossible to achieve and that it's omnipotent in the universe. After reaching this realm, a cultivator has found his "way(or dao)" and this is why it's called the Dao Realm and the powerhouses of this level are addressed by the title Dao Ancestor. However, this "way" it's not definitive and it can be changed, as seen with the Heavenly Lord of the Immeasurable, that tried to change his "Dao" to a more powerful one.

After becoming a Way Ancestor one can leave the world.

The Dao Ancestors can also interfere with the cycle of reincarnation and pull the dead out of it.

The Dao Realm correspond to a Way and only one person can follow this Way, others won't be able to advance and so need to obstruct others or take the first step to the Way. (ex: Tathagata Buddha schemed against his student Qitian Dasheng, Dipankara Ancient Buddha diverted Maitreya to the External Way, Lord of Broad Methods took the first step before the Incongruence Divine Mother, Jade Emperor as Lord of the Heavenly Court's Divine Palace schemed to grow Yan Zhaoge from another world through the Three Purities' Dao artifacts and steal his successful Three Purities Dao, Jade Emperor induced the Great Calamity to eliminate potential Dao Ancestor-Heavenly Lord obstacles)

***"A Dao Ancestor can not be a Early Heaven Being but an Early Heaven Being is a Dao Ancestor"***

Before the central Blessed Lands of Saha’s Western Mystical Mountain’s Great Thunderclap Monastery’s master – the Gautama Buddha appeared, all the experts beyond the Great Encompassing Heavenly Immortal had existed before the Early Heavens. Before the heavens were open and the earth was split, they had already been born within the primordial chaotic gulf. Whether it was the Daoism Three Pure Ones, the Ancient Three Sovereigns, the Western Buddhism Second Patriarchs, or even the Six Ancestral Devils, none of them was an exception.

There were many kinds of lifeforms that existed before the Early Heavens as well. However, not all of them could achieve the realm beyond the Great Encompassing Heavenly Immortal. However, the ones beyond the Great Encompassing Heavenly Immortal first had all existed during the Early Heavens. They governed over the world’s laws and had even established and created the world, which allowed them to develop and educate all other Later Heavens lifeforms.
