The Celestial Master succession ceremony was widely announced, attracting numerous guests from far and wide—a grand occasion indeed.
As fellow Taoist Holy Lands, both the Pure Yang Palace and Mount Shu had representatives present.
"Daoist He, it has been a long time," Elder Lü Jinduan of the Pure Yang Palace greeted Elder He Dongxing of Mount Shu.
He Dongxing smiled. "Daoist Brother Lü, I trust you are well? And how is Daoist Brother Huang of your esteemed sect?"
Lü Jinduan said, "After the battle in the Western Regions, our Sect Leader suffered severe injuries and has been in quiet recuperation. Although there has been some improvement recently, we cannot afford to be negligent. If not for this, he would definitely have come in person to today's grand event at the Celestial Master Mansion. Now I must attend on his behalf."
He Dongxing nodded. "Daoist Brother Huang is a cornerstone of our Taoist Sect; he must take great care."
"It is regrettable," Lü Jinduan said.
