Heavenly Dao

Biodata

Nature and Authority

The Heavenly Dao governs the established order of the world: the cycles of life and death, the movement of stars, the rise and fall of dynasties, fate, karma, cultivation tribulations, and the laws of heaven and earth 566.

It can recognize cultivators who attempt to act beyond ordinary limits. Su Qingyun's Way of Deception could conceal him from the Heavenly Dao temporarily, but his effort to reverse space-time and revive True Person Yun He exposed his Dao, prompting immediate heavenly punishment 1106.

The Human Realm's elevation into an Eternal Realm is explicitly recognized by the Heavenly Dao, giving the realm greater standing among the major realms 1274.
