In the Taoist mythological system, Taishang Laojun was regarded as the ancestor of chaos, the parent of heaven and earth, the master of Yin and Yang, and the emperor of all gods. There was a saying that Pangu came first, followed by heaven, and Taishang came before Pangu. His seniority was extremely high, almost as long as heaven and earth. From this point of view, he had the characteristic of immortality. Furthermore, in many myths and derivative works, the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord had existed for a long time, which also indirectly reflected his immortality. For example, in the story line of Journey to the West, from the time when Sun Wukong wreaked havoc in Heaven to the time when he escorted Tang Sanzang to the West to obtain scriptures, Taishang Laojun always existed and played various roles. For example, he used the diamond chakram to sneak up on Sun Wukong, put Sun Wukong into the Eight Trigrams Furnace, and sent the boy to turn into the King of Gold Horn and the King of Silver Horn to make things difficult for Tang Sanzang and his disciples. His existence ran through the whole story as if he was not affected by time, which also hinted at his immortality.
In Taoism, Taishang Laojun was closely related to Laozi. Laozi was regarded as one of the incarnations of Taishang Laojun, like the eighteenth incarnation of Taishang Laojun. From the perspective of the development of Taoist mythology, Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching was regarded as the Tao Te Ching by Taoism. Lao Tzu was also regarded as the ancestor of Taoism. With the development of Taoism, he was gradually regarded as an immortal and associated with Taishang Laojun. However, strictly speaking, the god Taishang Laojun had many characteristics such as transcending time and space. He was the embodiment of the Great Dao. The Great Dao gathered into Laojun and dispersed into Qi (One Qi turns into Three Pure Ones). In order to educate the world, Laozi would appear in different forms. Laozi was only one of his incarnations. Therefore, it could be said that Laozi was Taishang Laojun, but Taishang Laojun was not just Laozi. In some literary works, such as Journey to the West, the image of Taishang Laojun was different from traditional religious ideas. The image in the novel could not completely represent the definition of Taoism. 'The Myth of True Love in the Pangu Progenitor Universe' is equally wonderful. Please click to read it!

In addition, according to the Taoist scriptures, Taishang Laojun was the disciple of Heavenly Lord Yuanshi.

Lao Zi said: The Great Way seems to be invisible and formless, but it can give birth to and nurture heaven and earth; The Great Way seems to have no emotions, but it can operate the sun and moon and make them flow endlessly; The Great Way has no name, but it can grow and grow, nourish all things. I don't know what its name is, but I can barely call it 'Dao'. This mysterious and all-encompassing Great Dao had both purity and purity, chaos and filth, as well as motivation and tranquility. The clear yang qi rose and the turbid yin qi fell. Therefore, it could be seen that the sky was clean, while the earth appeared turbid. The operation of the celestial bodies belonged to the form of motion, while the body of the earth belonged to the form of stillness. As for men and women, men belonged to the Yang attribute, while women belonged to the Yin attribute. If the pure yang qi of all things cannot be preserved, then the original spirituality of all things will easily decline. If the original spirituality of all things declined, they would lose the control of their own nature. If all things lose the control of their own nature, they will easily have lust, and their thoughts and actions will naturally flow to the end of the lower body. If the thoughts and actions of all things flow to the end of the lower body, there will be the intersection of yin and yang. If all things have the intersection of yin and yang, they will naturally grow into all kinds of reincarnation. Purity is the source of chaos, and change is the cornerstone of purity. If a person could always maintain a pure heart, then the essence energy of heaven and earth could return to his own nature. The human primordial spirit was originally pure and untainted, and there was nothing wrong with it. Because of the disturbance of the human heart, it blinded the original pure and equal awareness. The human nature originally liked peace and quiet, but it was lured out of balance by the secular feelings and material desires. Therefore, if one could get rid of these greedy desires, one's mind would naturally obtain peace. After clearing our minds, our primordial spirits will naturally be able to maintain clarity. In this way, the desire generated by the six senses (eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, mind) coming into contact with the external world would not arise. The three poisons of human nature (greed, anger, and stupidity) would also be automatically eliminated. The reason why some people couldn't do it was because their nature hadn't been clarified and their desires hadn't been eliminated. If you can get rid of these desires and achieve purity, you will find that everything has no place to live. How can there be desires? "Appearance and shape. Everything is born, lived, destroyed, and destroyed. There is no eternal form. If we look at everything from a long-term perspective, we will find that we can't truly possess it if it is not brought by birth and taken away by death. By combining these three, mind, form, and matter, one could realize that everything was illusory and empty. If one continued to observe this emptiness, one would find that even the emptiness had disappeared. Then, even the thought of nothing had disappeared. When all the thoughts of emptiness and nothingness had disappeared, one would arrive at a state of constant silence. Finally, even the persistence of this silence had been put down. How could desire arise at this time? When the desire of greed is completely gone, it comes to the martial arts of true tranquility. When the mind reaches the state of true tranquility, then it can apply and implement everything, and naturally it will be free and easy. Those who could be at ease were those who could maintain true peace. Those who could maintain true peace for a long time would also enter the realm of truth. Once one stepped into the true Great Dao, it was what cultivators called "attaining Dao". Although it was called "attaining Dao", in reality, there was really nothing that could be obtained. However, in order to save all living beings, it was named "Dao". If you can truly comprehend this realm, you can spread this true and pure path of sages to the world. Lao Tzu also said: The most intelligent people, because of the deep righteousness, so there is no competition, only the lowest fool, will not be reasonable, competitive; The most virtuous people, even if they do good deeds, will not say that they have virtue. Only the low-class people without virtue, just do a little virtuous thing, think that they have virtue. This was because he did not understand the true meaning of morality. Why couldn't all living beings step into the true Great Dao? It was because he often had an illusory heart. Because if he had a false heart, it would disturb his primordial spirit. Because he disturbed his primordial spirit, his mind would wander outwards, and it would be easy for him to cling to all things. Once he became obsessed with all things, he would definitely want to get them. Once the things or people he wanted could not get them, or if they could not satisfy his inner needs, he would be troubled. Once the delusions of worry were born, they would disturb the body and mind, causing the originally pure consciousness to suffer a lot of filth and humiliation, causing one to drift into the sea of life and death, and forever lose the true Great Dao. Those who could comprehend would naturally comprehend this eternal Great Dao. In short, a person who could truly comprehend the Great Dao was a person who could often maintain a pure mind and body!
