The surgery proved to be a major success. However, there was something more surprising that none of the elders could anticipate. Even Yan Ping found Anji's new constitution fascinating. The girl could be said to be the first cultivator to be reborn from the risky surgery. It was not all smooth-sailing. However, Anji's will to survive and her innate enlightenment created a path nobody previously thought was possible.
"It's possibly your unique path to sagehood," Yan Ping concluded.
Much like the other elders who assisted with her surgery, most of them did not follow the traditional proven route to sagehood. Like many sages who ascended, they had very unique cultivation methods. Anji was no different.
