C74 The Cimicifuge of the Sunburn Tree (2/2)

If a Sunburn Tree reached the late stage, it was natural that it would die as well. And when it reached the late stage of Yang Tree's lifeline, it would not produce any profound energy of the heaven and earth until it turned into rotten wood and completely disappeared.

”What else do you know?”

Qin Shaojie's words caused Su Lao's body to uncontrollably tremble a little. Not a single word Qin Shaojie said were lies, he even understood it a lot better than he did. After all these years, no one was clearer than him on the changes in Sunburn Tree. It was just that they never thought that the youth that appeared before them would be able to see so many things in a short amount of time.

”If the Sunburn Tree is only withered, it's not a big deal. It could only mean that the profound veins was shrinking, and this place was also about to become an ordinary place.

But if this explanation is used, then it would clearly be unable to explain why the profound energy around the Sunburn Tree is so thin, and not as thick as the outside world. ”

”If I'm not wrong, this Sunburn Tree is not truly exhausted of its lifespan, but it has suffered some sort of injury. Furthermore, once the Sunburn Tree has been injured and the profound veins below has not decayed, then the profound energy within the profound veins will be communicated and leaked through other means. ”

”Therefore, in your current situation, you should be trying to use your life force to feed the Sunburn Tree and try to wake it up so that it can maintain its lifeline. Otherwise, once the Sunburn Tree completely dies, the secrets of the entire profound veins will not be hidden anymore.”

Taking a deep breath, Qin Shaojie enunciated every word without any hesitation.

The influence of profound veins s on the world was just too great. If one obtained profound veins s and made good use of their profound energy, it might not even take a hundred years to create a powerful sect. This was no longer a temptation that the so-called students and the dynasty could suppress. Once one became a sect, they would be able to command over a hundred dynasties. Their territory was extremely vast, and their resources were quite crazy.

If this secret were to be leaked, not to mention the Holy Flame Academy, even the entire Great Yan Dynasty would suffer a calamity.

A single profound veins was enough to cause a great calamity!

Furthermore, the profound veins contained the energy of heaven and earth, so it was extremely possible for many unimaginable treasures to appear.

If that was the case, then everything could be explained. The reason why the ancient ruins appeared in the Holy Flame Academy was not by chance, but probably because of the profound veins.

Once the was fed with life force, a certain relationship would be established between the Sunburn Tree and it would mean that the Sunburn Tree would only absorb its life force until it completely sucked this person's life force dry. Only then would it be possible to exchange the Sunburn Tree for another person's life force to absorb.

And because he had established this connection, Su Baichen was unable to leave the small island, because once he left, the Sunburn Tree would do everything it could to follow him. When the Sunburn Tree left the island in the Sacred Heart Lake, the profound veins's Qi would be unable to block it.

Therefore, this was the reason why Su Lao was trapped.

He could not leave but had to use his own life force to feed the Sunburn Tree.

Thinking to this point, and looking at Su Lao, the depths of Qin Shaojie's eyes also revealed a hint of sympathy and admiration.

The saddest thing in this world was not life or death, but the despair of being trapped here and never being able to leave. Perhaps the reason why he wanted to recruit students, was because he still wanted to let the world know of his own existence, or perhaps it was because he wanted to choose a student who, like him, could quietly protect the entire Holy Flame Academy in the end.

However, without a doubt, it was a difficult choice for him.

After all, as long as one stayed here and chose to protect this destiny, it meant that everything would stay on this island.

No one understood, and even the Holy Flame Academy was not clear on this.

”How did you know?”

The current Su Lao was no longer able to conceal the shock and turmoil in his heart. Everything was as Qin Shaojie said, but how did he know?

”I've read too many books, so I'm clear now.”

Qin Shaojie naturally did not say that he had the memories of his previous life, and immediately made up a reason. Because he knew, the focus right now wasn't on how he knew about all these things, but the attitude of the Su Lao!

After all, at this time, an enormous pressure had already completely enveloped Qin Shaojie!
