He cultivated himself into a Dao Ancestor starting from Qi Refining.

Lin Shaoyu transmigrated to a world of cultivation. He wasted decades as a menial laborer in the Withered Bone Demon Sect before finally succeeding in Qi Refining and entering the Qi Refining Realm. Because of his advanced age and depleted potential, he had no hope of immortality and planned to become a 'Qi Refining Ancestor' in the mortal realm to enjoy wealth and glory. However, he unexpectedly found himself afflicted with 'Life-Borrowing Money,' his life hanging by a thread. Fortunately, an accident occurred. Lin Shaoyu obtained a 'He Shi Bi' (a legendary jade disc) with three functions: Fate Alter, Fate Peeping, and Heavenly Fate. [Fate Alter: Obtaining destiny by altering the fate of all cultivators; the obtained destiny can be used for cultivation and breakthroughs.] [Fate Peeping: Consuming 'Destiny' to peek into the past, present, and future of all beings.] [Heavenly Fate: Blessed by 'Heavenly Fate,' it cannot be pried into by any other being. All methods of deduction, divination, and divine revelation are ineffective, blocked, or even lead to a false result.] Life-Borrowing Money! A miser! A substitute for someone else! A debt collector! A thousand people, a thousand faces! From then on, Lin Shaoyu used the "Fate Refinement True Skill" to cultivate various supernatural powers, used the "Iron Rooster" to break the "Life-Borrowing Money", starting from the Qi Refining Realm, proving supernatural powers, forging destiny, entering the palace... step by step, he cultivated into the supreme Dao Ancestor.
