Patriarch Hongjun felt that Grand Supreme Elder was more powerful. Taishang Laojun was the publicly acknowledged ancestor of Taoism. He had the ability to " Dao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things." All things were born from " Dao." From this aspect, Taishang Laojun was superior. In the Investiture of the Gods, it was recorded that Taishang Laojun had the ability to transform into Sanqing, and he used this ability to beat Tongtian Sect Master until he could not fight back. Moreover, when he was listening to the Dao in the Purple Cloud Palace, Grand Supreme Elder sat at the head of the futon at the very front, showing everyone's respect for him. In addition, when Patriarch Hongjun shared the treasures after the Dao lecture, he gave Grand Supreme Elder the Taiji Diagram. This was the first of the three Connate cardinal treasures transformed from the Heaven-Opening Axe. Not only could it defend, but it could also capture people. This also reflected Patriarch Hongjun's appreciation of Grand Supreme Elder.

There were different situations in different mythological systems. In some settings, there was a saying that "Pangu came first, then Heaven, and Taishang came before Pangu." Moreover, the magic treasure Taiji Diagram that Pangu created was Taishang Laojun's. From this point of view, Taishang Laojun seemed to be a more fundamental existence, as if his status was higher. However, Pangu had the heroic feat of creating the world. He opened up the primordial chaos and created all things in the world. This ability to create the world showed his extremely powerful power. In the novels of the primeval era, the relationship between the two was different from other mythological settings. For example, there was a saying that the Three Pure Ones (including Taishang Laojun) and Pangu were reincarnated, so it was difficult to simply determine who was stronger. It depended on which mythological or novel system was used. 'The Myth of True Love in the Pangu Progenitor Universe' is equally wonderful. Please click to read it!
Different systems had different situations. In the related settings of the Investiture of the Gods, Taishang Laojun was more powerful than Patriarch Hongjun in the Connate Infinite World, and Patriarch Hongjun was more powerful than Taishang Laojun in the Heaven-Opening Great Ultimate World. The difference between the Heaven-Opening Great Ultimate World and the Connate Infinite World was divided by the time when Pangu created the world. The universe before Pangu created the world was called the Connate Infinite World, and the universe after Pangu created the world was called the Heaven-Opening Great Ultimate World. In primeval novels, Patriarch Hongjun's status was often above Grand Supreme Elder. From the formal literature and classics of Taoism, Patriarch Hongjun belonged to an evil sect and did not exist in Taoist culture. It was impossible to compare the strength of the two according to this system. 'The Myth of True Love in the Pangu Progenitor Universe' is equally wonderful. Please click to read it!
There was no accurate answer as to who was stronger between Heavenly Lord Yuanshi and Grand Supreme Elderly Lord. It needed to be judged by period and faction. In terms of status, Heavenly Lord Yuanshi occupied the highest thirty-sixth level of the Heavenly Palace after the Battle of Gods Investiture and became the leader of the Three Pure Ones. In terms of status, he was even higher than Taishang Laojun, but there was also a saying in Taoist classics that Laojun was the first in heaven. In terms of cultivation, they were all Connate Sages with the power to destroy the world and rebuild the world. They were all at the Primordial Chaos Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Realm. In terms of magic weapons, Taishang Laojun's Taiji Diagram was more powerful than the Pangu Banner of Heavenly Lord Yuanshi in Investiture of the Gods. Taiji Diagram was a treasure that could open the sky. If used properly, it could not only kill their master, Patriarch Hongjun, but also have the ability to destroy the world. From the perspective of teaching disciples, in the Investiture of the Gods, the disciples of the Heavenly Lord of the Origin were the famous Twelve Golden Immortals, Dipamkara Taoist, and the South Pole Immortal Weng, while the famous disciples of the Supreme Lord of the Origin were only Master Xuandu and the Immortal of Du'e. Therefore, the Heavenly Lord of the Origin was more powerful in teaching disciples. However, in terms of preaching ability, the Supreme Lord of the Origin was stronger. He was the teacher of all things. He turned Hu into Buddha and guided Confucius to establish Confucianism. It could be said that his achievements were glorious and immortal. In the plot of the Nine Yellow River Formation in Investiture of the Gods, Taishang Laojun dodged the Golden Dragon Scissors of Goddess of Three Sky Fairies and broke the Nine Yellow River Formation with the Taiji Diagram. Finally, he sent the three goddesses to the Investiture of the Gods. His attitude was more domineering. However, Honored Lord of the Origin showed that he might not be strong enough and did not kill them all. From this, it could be seen that Taishang Laojun's strength seemed to be slightly stronger than Honored Lord of the Origin.
There were different views on who was stronger between Heavenly Lord Yuanshi and Taishang Laojun. In terms of status, Heavenly Lord Yuanshi was the leader of the Three Pure Ones in some sayings and had a higher status, but there were also sayings in Taoist records that Laojun was the first in heaven. In terms of cultivation, both of them were Connate Sages and had the power to destroy the world and rebuild the world. In terms of magic weapons, Taishang Laojun's Taiji Diagram was a treasure that could open the sky. If used properly, it could not only kill their master, Patriarch Hongjun, but also have the ability to destroy heaven and earth under the circumstances of favorable weather, favorable terrain, and favorable people. It was even more powerful than the Pangu Banner of Heavenly Lord Yuanshi. Judging from his performance in the Investiture of the Gods, Taishang Laojun's attitude was even more domineering. He dodged the Golden Dragon Scissors of the Three Sky Goddesses and used the Taiji Diagram to break the Nine Yellow River Formation, sending the three goddesses to the West and making them a member of the Investiture of the Gods. However, Honored Lord of the Origin did not seem to have enough strength and did not seem to kill them all. In terms of the ability to teach disciples, Heavenly Lord of the Origin was even more powerful. His disciples included the famous Twelve Golden Immortals, Dipamkara Taoist, and South Pole Immortal Weng. On the other hand, the disciples of Taishang Laojun were only famous for Master Xuandu and Immortal Du'e. In terms of preaching ability, Taishang Laojun was stronger. He was the teacher of all things. He turned Hu into Buddha and guided Confucius to establish Confucianism. On the whole, some people thought that Taishang Laojun was more powerful than Yuanshi Tianzun, but he was humble and willing to be ranked last among the Three Pure Ones, but there were also people who thought that the two were equally powerful.

The Taiqing Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue was in charge of the moral order of the universe among the Three Pure Gods. Although he was respectfully addressed as 'Dao Ancestor,' he was ranked last among the Three Pure Ones. This ranking was related to many factors, such as the formation of the universe in the Taoist view of the universe, the uniqueness of the moral order he represented, and the image in literary creation.
In terms of status, the Nine Heavenly Maiden had a very high status in Taoism. She was respected as the Master of Taoism and the Master of Truth. In the ranking of the Immortal World, below the Three Pure Ones were the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, followed by the Nine Heavenly Maiden and the Four Emperors of the Heavenly Court. The Grand Supreme Elder was one of the Three Pure Ones and was known as the Lord of Dao and Virtue. He was the ancestor of Chaos, the parent of heaven and earth, the master of Yin and Yang, and the emperor of all gods. In terms of mana, the information did not clearly indicate the direct comparison of the mana of the two, but it mentioned that the mana of the Nine Heavenly Maiden was not as strong as that of Grand Supreme Elder. Overall, Grand Supreme Elder might be stronger in terms of status and magic power.
Hongjun and Grand Supreme Elder were two different characters. In the novel Investiture of the Gods, Hongjun was the master of Taishang Laojun, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Tongtian. He was depicted as the embodiment of the Great Dao and the guide and supervisor of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals of Origin such as the Three Pure Ones, the Two Sages of the West, and Nuwa. Grand Supreme Elder was one of the Three Pure Ones and one of Hongjun's disciples. Therefore, Hongjun was not Grand Supreme Elder, but Grand Supreme Elder's master.
