Only Jiang Li could see him ascending the steps alongside himself, moving step by step towards the summit of the Heavenly Altar.
"I thought my uncle would make a move today, but I didn't expect he would just come to extend his congratulations."
Jiang Li advanced steadily, neither hastily nor slowly. Even the appearance of the Heavenly Monarch couldn't cause him to waver in the slightest.
"The Divine Capital lies beneath the Emperor's feet. Acting here would be futile and mark one as unwise," the Heavenly Monarch said gently, matching Jiang Li's pace.
