And under Ancestor Minghe's watchful gaze...
At a certain moment, the Heavenly Dao stirred!
Rumble!
A tremendous heavenly sound erupted, deafening and boundless.
Visions also filled the heavens and earth.
Radiant clouds burst forth, auspicious colors interweaving.

They had never expected Ancestor Minghe's "Dao attainment" today to bring Gu Changqing such a reward as well.
Even more astonishing was the speculation that arose unbidden in their minds.
