Dao Conjoining Realm

Biodata

Position in the Cultivation System

Requirements for Dao Conjoining

• A cultivator must synthesize a complete Grand Dao of their own. 411
• They must receive recognition from the world will of the world where they attempt the breakthrough. 407 411
• Dao Conjoining cannot be attained through resources and cultivation time alone; it requires extraordinary fortune, a fitting opportunity, inheritance, or sudden enlightenment. 396
• In top-tier Great Worlds, recognition is especially difficult to obtain. The Two Poles Great World requires acknowledgment from the Two Poles, whose authority over indigenous souls is absolute. 407
• A recognized Dao Conjoining cultivator is expected to aid the growth and development of the world that acknowledged them. 408

Capabilities

Small-World Creation and Dominion

Dao Conjoining cultivators can tear open space and create a small world. As masters of that world, they possess near-immortal and near-indestructible authority within it. 302

• Can establish an internal or independent spatial world. 302 374
• Can exercise overwhelming home-field control over souls within a True Dragon-derived internal space. 373
• A complete internal world is vastly more dangerous than a damaged fragment such as Kun's Heavenly Kun Illusion Realm. 302

Spatial Manipulation

Their comprehension of spatial laws allows large-scale manipulation of Secret Realms and inter-world travel. 337

• Can alter Secret Realm entrances and exits. 337
• Can transport more than 200,000 people into a Secret Realm at once. 337
• Can traverse Great Worlds by expending Spiritual Essence. 337
• Can probe concealed cultivation and soul states, exposing disguises and hidden secrets. 337 369

Overwhelming Realm Suppression

The realm gap between Dao Conjoining and lower levels is normally decisive. 345 396

• Path-Integration Realm cultivators are regarded as insignificant before Dao Conjoining experts. 345
• The Underworld's Death Dao could kill large numbers of Path-Integration Realm soul bodies with a flick of a finger. 344
• A Dao Conjoining Realm aura can dominate a world-scale environment; Blood Fiend White Tiger's breakthrough scattered the Thunder Great World's perpetual storm clouds and submerged its destructive lightning. 406
• A Dao Conjoining cultivator can suppress a peak Path-Integration Realm expert through higher-level space-time laws. 377

Limitations

• Dao Conjoining cultivators lose their home-field advantage when entering another Great World. 323
• Further progress is exceptionally difficult; ordinary cultivation is considered largely ineffective at this level, leaving luck and world-defining opportunities as the primary means of advancement. 369
• They are powerful but not invulnerable. The True Dragon's residual will killed all nine Dao Conjoining experts in the Dragon Spirit Secret Realm. 346 347
• Even Dao Conjoining cultivators cannot safely resist the backlash of the Space-Time Dao or Void Dao indefinitely. 419
• Dao Conjoining cultivators generally avoid fatal confrontations, as their deaths are rare and their accumulated power, influence, and longevity are too valuable to risk casually. 408
