Empty Compassion was even harder to understand than Anji initially thought. Yan Ping mentioned geniuses had to be at least forty to understand the gist of it. However, even after experiencing a millennium's worth of memories, Anji still could not comprehend it. The only silver lining was that she did not need to spend three weeks writing reflective journals to recover from the mental discrepancy.
Yan Ping was unsurprised that Anji became more confused about Empty Compassion after seeing another sage attain enlightenment with a completely different method and personality. Compared to the bloodthirsty Crimson Sword founder, the Lotus Sage was a smart woman who desired nothing in comparison. Yet, this was the exact contradiction she needed Anji to realise.
