Dao Ancestor Realm

Biodata

Power Progression

Realm Hierarchy

• Dao Ancestors are prominent high-level cultivators in the Immortal Realm, while Emperor Realm practitioners are rare paramount figures who can control one or several Immortal Domains. 752 790
• The Emperor Realm is also the name of the higher world to which Lin Feng ascends after his development in the Immortal Realm. 805

Advancement Requirements

• Achieving the Dao Ancestor Realm requires comprehending a Power of Law to its utmost limit; Jin Wubian satisfies this condition through his Gold Law Power. 695
• Advancing from the Late Grand Unity Realm may be obstructed by defects in a cultivator's path, even when their Immortal Spiritual Energy, Power of Law, and resources are profound. 707
• Chaos Qi can compensate for the flaw affecting Lingji Holy Land's divination cultivators, enabling Daoist Sansuan to advance safely. 709
• Lingji Holy Land's cultivation limit is associated with the Heavenly Dao's punishment of diviners, described through the “five handicaps and three deficiencies.” Chaos Qi repairs the imperfection in Sansuan's comprehended laws, allowing him to complete his breakthrough over three days. 709
• Reaching the mid-stage requires comprehension of at least three Powers of Law to the Perfection level. 725
• Advancement reshapes the cultivator's body, expands Spiritual Sense, and strengthens Immortal Spiritual Energy and physical strength. 747
• Lin Feng reached the mid-stage only after converting five hundred billion Immortal Spirit Stones into Improvement Points. 709
• Dao Ancestors may spend thousands or tens of thousands of years in a single period of secluded cultivation. Lin Feng's Chaos Tree Space compresses hundreds of years of effective cultivation into seven or eight outside days, enabling several allied breakthroughs. 762
• As Lin Feng's cultivation and methods improve, repairing the Dao defects of Lingji Holy Land's disciples becomes easier, allowing Sansuan's eldest and second disciples to advance as well. 762
• Passing beyond the realm remains exceptionally difficult under ordinary circumstances. Before Lin Feng and Dong Xuan's breakthroughs, only five Emperor Realm experts had emerged in the Asura Battlefield over countless years despite its numerous Dao Ancestors. 800

Known Dao Ancestors

Combat Capability

• Dao Ancestor Realm pressure is overwhelming to Late Grand Unity cultivators; Fire Dragon required the combined support of the other four protectors to resist two Dao Ancestor Realm Sand Whale Beasts. 712
• The Five Elements Protectors' perfected formations allowed their combined strength to contend with a Dao Ancestor Realm expert even before their breakthrough. 710
• After reaching the early Dao Ancestor Realm, the five protectors' linked Five Elements were regarded as capable of contending with mid-stage Dao Ancestors. 747
• As mid-stage Dao Ancestors, the protectors' Five Elements combination could unleash more than ten times their normal power and overwhelm a mid-stage opponent unless numerous cultivators intervened together. 758
• Their combined strength could resist late-stage Dao Ancestors. In the battle against Sky Curtain City, more than a dozen mid-stage opponents had to cooperate to halt their advance, and even then remained at a disadvantage. 758
• Lin Feng's physical strength before his own breakthrough was already sufficient to contend with—or even suppress—a Dao Ancestor Realm cultivator. 700
• Dao Ancestors cannot ordinarily resist the Immortal Realm's void gales with their physical bodies alone. Protective Spiritual Light is necessary and continually consumes Immortal Spiritual Energy. 696
• Jin Wubian's battle with Lin Feng demonstrates the realm's destructive reach: their clash destroyed a city, while his hammer-generated lightning tore and numbed Lin Feng's body despite its exceptional refinement. 696
• The Emperor Realm's law-based abilities are described as overwhelmingly superior when used against Dao Ancestor Realm cultivators. 752
• Harmoniously integrating his three Supreme Laws allowed Lin Feng to acquire some Emperor Realm abilities before his formal breakthrough, giving him overwhelming advantages against Dao Ancestors. 752
• Even ordinary late-stage Dao Ancestors could not withstand Dong Xuan's strike after she received pure Immortal Spiritual Energy through dual cultivation with Lin Feng. Cultivators such as Xuan Ming, who comprehended a Supreme Law, remained stronger than her at that point. 780
• The Azure Water Golden Toad could kill mid- and late-stage Dao Ancestors with its palm strikes, shattering their bodies before they could successfully resist. 783
• The Bear Emperor's casual fireball attacks melted Dao Ancestors' weapons and killed seven or eight elders, illustrating the qualitative gulf between the two realms. 787

Souls, Bodies, and Weapons

• Dao Ancestor souls can be collected and used in Lin Feng's Crimson Soul Banner. He obtained two such souls shortly after entering the Asura Battlefield, and the banner later fielded dozens of Dao Ancestor Realm ghosts. 714 758
• Lin Feng refined a defeated mid-stage Outer Realm cultivator's ghost into a Ghost Commander for the Crimson Soul Banner. 774
• A captured Outer Realm Sky Demon's ghost fought with the strength of an ordinary mid-stage Dao Ancestor despite its intimidating demeanor. 758
• Dao Ancestor bodies contain potent essence that nourishes the Azure Water Golden Toad and can increase its cultivation when consumed. 777
• Emperor Immortal Grade Weapons possess energy beyond what a Dao Ancestor Realm cultivator can control. 700
