As he spoke, Qin Mu glanced at the Emperor Embryo slowly taking shape inside the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.
He knew full well that now was not yet the right time for the Heavenly Court to emerge.
At the very least, he had to wait until his Emperor Embryo was fully formed.
After a moment's thought, Qin Mu came back to himself and set up powerful restrictions, enveloping the Heavenly Realm.
Only after finishing all this did he smile with satisfaction. Then, with a flash, he left the Heavenly Realm.
Before long, Qin Mu returned to the Nether Underworld.
As soon as he got back, Ancestor Minghe appeared in Fengdu City.
"Daoist Qin Mu, congratulations!"
Seeing Qin Mu, Ancestor Minghe offered his congratulations.
"Daoist Minghe, thank you for your support earlier at Zixiao Palace!"
Qin Mu said calmly.
Earlier at Zixiao Palace, Saints like Yuanshi and Jieyin had strongly opposed him becoming the ruler of the Heavenly Court.
Taishang had done the same.
Fortunately, Tongtian, Minghe, and Zhenyuanzi had spoken up for him.
"What are you saying, Daoist Qin Mu?"
"My survival all these years is entirely thanks to your help."
"By the way..."
At this, Ancestor Minghe paused, then asked with undisguised curiosity:
"Earlier, Dao Ancestor left you alone at Zixiao Palace. Did he give you some other instructions?"
Hearing this, Qin Mu replied with a calm expression:
"Nothing in particular. He just told me to govern the Heavenly Court well."
At Qin Mu's words, Ancestor Minghe gave an awkward smile.
He knew that prying into the matter like this was somewhat discourteous.
After a brief pause, Ancestor Minghe came back to himself. He didn't ask anything more, and said with a smile:
"If that's the case, I'll leave you to it, Daoist."
With that, Ancestor Minghe vanished from
