"On behalf of the Order, I would like to thank you all for availing yourself of this occasion. I know for some of you the journey was not easy and getting the time to make an appearance couldn't have been easy either.
For that, I Lai Ning, Chief Justice of the Order would like to thank you all for gracing us with your presence. I offer this salute to you all, irrespective of which ranked organization you belong to. Your presence here is highly appreciated," Chief Justice Lai Ning said as he offered a Daoist salute to the guests.
The salute may have seemed simple and inane to an unknown mind but to the cultivation world, the connotation behind it was immense. One cultivator giving another cultivator a Daoist salute was a form of recognition and acknowledgment, which was why it was never given lightly.
