C1135 The mystery of the sunfire tree
Great Yan Dynasty, Holy Flame Academy!
Today, this place had long since become a wasteland, and the once prosperous and civilized place had long since been destroyed after the invasion of the demons. Under such circumstances, the disciples from the remaining academies had long ago followed Zhou Tian, Su Baichen and the others and left for the Nine Peaks Tower.
In this place, one could only vaguely see traces of what had once been there. The surroundings were too desolate and overgrown with weeds, and there were no signs of human interaction between people.
This was true not only for Holy Flame Academy, but also for the entire Great Yan Dynasty.
This was the huge shock brought by the war. All of them were unable to be preserved under the iron hoof of war!
While Qin Shaojie was wandering around the Holy Flame Academy, he seemed to be recalling everything that had happened here. He tried his best to find the memories from his past. More than ten years had passed, and all of them had undergone an earth-shattering change.
There was no one within a radius of hundreds of kilometers. The entire Great Yan Dynasty had witnessed Qin Shaojie's most difficult battle in the past, but now, there was no life!
As he sighed softly, Qin Shaojie's gaze landed on the Sacred Heart Lake.
The waters of the Sacred Heart Lake were rather clear, but one could just barely feel a hint of blood flowing on them. Although the entire Holy Flame Academy seemed to be in decline, only the Sacred Heart Lake still retained its previous appearance. It was lush and verdant, giving off an extremely dense and heavy feeling of vitality.
With a leap, he appeared in the Sacred Heart Lake, and everything here was the same as before. Even the house that Su Baichen was in was still standing upright. It was obvious that even though the whole of Sacred Heart Lake suffered from the invasion of the demons at that time, it was not directly affected.
As he wandered around, Qin Shaojie finally stopped in front of the Sunburn Tree!
As he walked in front of the Sunburn Tree, he could feel the dense life energy being emitted from within the Sunburn Tree, and Qin Shaojie took a deep breath, after that, his face revealed a familiar sense of gratification.
As if the Sunburn Tree had felt the return of the aura it was familiar with and the person who saved its life before, it seemed to be rather excited at this moment. It continuously swayed its leaves and emitted "chi chi chi" sounds of excitement, and a few leaves landed on Qin Shaojie's shoulders, transforming into an extremely dense heaven and earth profound energy and poured into Qin Shaojie's body.
Back then, if not for Qin Shaojie's words, the Sunburn Tree would have long ago turned into a dead tree.
He had not only found the Nightmare Aroma to revive him, he had also completely dispelled the deathly aura that had pervaded the area previously surrounding the Sunburn Tree. It was just that Qin Shaojie did not expect the demon invasion to not cause any losses to the Sunburn Tree, which was quite unexpected for Qin Shaojie.
His hand gently stroked the trunk of the Sunburn Tree, sensing the current excitement of the Sunburn Tree's emotions. Qin Shaojie's mind quietly went deeper into the Sunburn Tree, after that his face revealed a trace of a smile, because the Sunburn Tree really didn't have any problems right now. According to these circumstances, he would at least be able to live for a few thousand years. After all, on the ground below the Sunburn Tree, the Heaven and Earth profound veins were still quite dense, and were not even weaker than some of the sect's profound veins.
It was a pity that he had not yet used the profound energy of the heaven and earth, causing the Holy Flame Academy to be destroyed. Revitalizing the Holy Flame Academy was not an easy task. At least, in a situation where the entire Great Yan Dynasty was destroyed without leaving a trace, there would be a huge cost to reviving the entire place.
However, he could tell that although Zhou Tian, Su Baichen and the rest were in the Nine Peaks Tower, they were still. Perhaps once the Tian Yuan Continent had stabilized again, they would be able to rebuild this place.
If that was really the case, Qin Shaojie himself was also quite looking forward to it.
It was unexpected that a divine object like the Sunburn Tree could grow in this kind of place. Patriarch Subhuti, who had always been by Qin Shaojie's side, suddenly appeared. When he looked at the Sunburn Tree, his expression was one of surprise.
Although there were a lot of profound veins in the world, there were not many that could give birth to Sunburn Tree. Furthermore, it was extremely rare for Sunburn Tree to grow like this.
Qin Shaojie did not have much of a reaction to Patriarch Subhuti's surprise. As a man of two lifetimes, he had traveled quite a few places, and the number of times he had seen this Sunburn Tree could be counted on one hand. After all, Sunburn Tree had very high requirements for their environment.
If you want to break through to the Saint realm, you should go to the Sacred Heart Lake. There is a Heaven and Earth profound veins here, and even more so there are Sunburn Tree. After thinking about it for a while, Patriarch Subhuti slowly spoke as well. At this moment, the gaze with which he looked at Qin Shaojie was also somewhat envious.
What does Ancestor mean by this?
However, Patriarch Subhuti's words caused Qin Shaojie to be slightly surprised. It was obvious that although the profound energy of the heaven and earth was dense and there were profound veins s, they were far inferior to the Nine Peaks Tower's. Even many places in the world seemed to be more beneficial for his cultivation and breakthrough.
However, he also knew that he had specially explained the matters of the Nine Peaks Tower this time before coming out and making plans for the worst. That was why he was able to return to the Great Yan Dynasty and head there.
After all, even though he was confident that he would be able to break through this time around, Qin Shaojie had still prepared and prepared for the worst.
There was nothing in this world that could be 100% done, furthermore, it seemed that only the Great Demon King had succeeded in such a mishandling situation. Therefore, Qin Shaojie did not dare to be negligent at all. At the very least, he wouldn't have any greater regrets in this life.
However, he never expected that Patriarch Subhuti, who was following him, would actually have such a soft spot for Sacred Heart Lake. To be more precise, it was this Sunburn Tree!
Although Sunburn Tree were precious, but their use was not as obvious as Qin Shaojie had imagined. He could absorb the profound veins's essence and refine himself, but they were not rare or valuable for warriors, because other than using them to temper their weapons, they were basically useless to themselves. Of course, especially towards warriors above the Spirit Stage, they might be more curious about this Sunburn Tree, but it did not really have any use.
Looks like your understanding of Sunburn Tree is far inferior to the Primordial Era, ah. Even the demons have forgotten how precious this Sunburn Tree is.1
After hearing Qin Shaojie's question, Patriarch Subhuti also spoke out regretfully. Clearly, this was a manifestation of his ignorance. Thinking back to the Primordial Era, the Sunburn Tree were robbed by the whole world. It was because of this reason that the number of Sunburn Tree decreased, until now, they had basically disappeared.
However, it seemed that Qin Shaojie and the others were completely unaware of the great usefulness of the Sunburn Tree from the past.
When the Great Demon King broke through into the sage realm and returned to The Endless Universe in a hurry, it was already a sign of severe injuries. That was why he had specifically hoped to help the Great Demon King heal his injuries; otherwise, even if the Great Demon King had managed to survive, it would have left behind serious aftereffects that he would never be able to reach in his entire life.
And the plan that he had given them was exactly the Sunburn Tree!
Hearing that, Qin Shaojie's heart also jumped, he never expected that the Sunburn Tree had such an effect.
Although Patriarch Subhuti didn't say it clearly, what sort of madness was it for him to be able to help the Great Fiend King in healing?
Currently, Qin Shaojie's eyes were flickering with sparks of fire and madness. No wonder Patriarch Subhuti had previously said that he was truly lucky, it seemed that this was exactly what he was referring to.
This Sunburn Tree certainly did not directly help the warriors in their cultivation, but he had absorbed the profound veins's power and had stabilized his ability for tens of thousands of years or even longer, so he had all kinds of special abilities. Although many times the warriors did not have the use for this ability, but at critical moments, even the saints would have to seek help from the Sunburn Tree.
After all, as an alchemist, he was very clear on whether or not one's Spirit Stage was higher than that, and alchemists did not have much use for them either, because the medicinal pellets that were refined could not be used directly on their bodies and souls.
The pills were only used to nourish the body. Unless there were some Heaven and Earth Elixirs, they were useless in front of a martial artist who was extremely strong.
As for the words of a saint, it was even more harsh.
Could the Sunburn Tree even display its great effects in front of a saint? If that was the case, he had really struck it rich this time.
The stronger a martial artist's realm and strength was, the more powerful their soul force would be! What truly affected a martial artist was not their physical body but their soul force! Once his soul force was severely damaged, his strength would be greatly reduced or even irreversible. This was also the reason why all the other Saints cared so much about their own spiritual sense. Of course, as Saints, their spiritual sense was also extremely powerful, and ordinary people had no way of affecting their spiritual sense.
But once his spirit sense was damaged, he could not just rely on those miraculous pills and medicines to make up for the damage. This Sunburn Tree was the true core!
Staring at the Sunburn Tree, Patriarch Subhuti seemed to have thought of something as well.
Sunburn Tree had a powerful healing effect on the spirit sense of high-level warriors. It could even help them gather their souls, rebuild them and strengthen them. In other words, as long as his soul was not completely erased, he would be able to reunite with the Sunburn Tree. Although he might not be able to recover to his peak state, this function was irreplaceable. Of course, after a saint made use of the Sunburn Tree, it was normal for their souls to become even more powerful.
This, was actually a real treasure!
Hearing that, Qin Shaojie took a deep breath, and when he looked at the Sunburn Tree again, he became extremely cautious, which meant, even a saint would have to fight for the Sunburn Tree, so problems would not easily occur.
Although the Saints were tyrannical, which Sage would dare to guarantee that no problems would occur in their entire lives?
But right now, I don't need to increase my soul power?
After regaining some rationality, Qin Shaojie also spoke seriously. Currently, Qin Shaojie's soul force was already comparable to that of the Second Order Saint's. This was also the key reason why he was able to deceive Xiao Fenger back then.
Increasing his soul force seemed to be of little use to the current Qin Shaojie.
The reason why I let you break through here, is not because I want to use Sunburn Tree to raise your soul power, but because this Sunburn Tree has a special ability which can stabilize your consciousness and soul. This kind of stability is not because of the stability of your realm, but because I want to tell you, what is the meaning of this place!
Pointing at the Sunburn Tree, Patriarch Subhuti explained in all seriousness.
This kind of feeling was as if you were floating on an endless sea. However, this place gave you the location of a lighthouse, so that you wouldn't lose your way in this endless sea.
