The Jade Emperor is the Daoist ruler of Heaven and all realms of existence below including that of Man and Hell, according to Daoist mythology. He is one of the most important gods of the Chinese traditional religion pantheon. In Daoist belief, the Jade Emperor governs all of the mortals' realm and below, but ranks below the Three Pure Ones.
