Cultivation allows one to evolve and this is not just reflected in their lifespans, massive strength, but also the change in how one sees the world around them.
With every new step one takes on their path of cultivation, the way they look at things change. Let's talk about Musk for instance. He had already started to walk away from the Almighty stage heading towards the Demigod stage. The way he sees things was no longer the same. His vision could be said to have changed from before and just standing in the position he was at, he could even be able to perceive more information about this space he was located.
When he become a realm Lord, he had already realized he could jump out the Nivarna Realm at any time and move to a higher Dimension. But he didn't rush, and the reason was that he could feel a strong threat from beyond the Nirvana Realm. But when he was weak, he didn't even noticed those powerful presences beyond the Nivarna Realm.
