Aside from Qin Shaojie, everyone left the Sacred Heart Lake. After that, Zhou Tian also spoke a few words to anemopyrexia and the rest before disappearing.

The remaining anemopyrexia brought over ten experts at the peak of the Spirit Sea Realm and tightly surrounded the entire Sacred Heart Lake. Moreover, there was even a Earthly Yuan Stage expert hidden within, and with this kind of lineup, even if it was a Earth Origin Stage practitioner, it would be impossible to enter the Sacred Heart Lake without any forewarning.

On the other side, Principal Zhou Tian also released his aura, and immediately saw a few figures from different parts of the Holy Flame Academy shoot out explosively. These figures seemed to be extremely old and Chen, clearly indicating that they were the elder-class existences of the Holy Flame Academy. When all the clan elders appeared, they looked towards Zhou Tian's direction and nodded their heads. From the position of the Five Elements Eight Trigrams, they stood quietly above the Holy Flame Academy.

There were a total of seven old men. These old men did not say anything at this moment. Even their auras were not leaked at all. However, just by standing like this, the entire space froze. A strong pressure spread out in all directions.

The seven people, including Zhou Tian, were all experts of the Holy Flame Academy's Earth Origin Stage level. They were also the true foundation of the Holy Flame Academy! If it wasn't for the fact that this situation was too serious, Zhou Tian wouldn't have easily invited all of these seniors to come out.

If the seven Earth Origin Stage Rankers went to guard the surroundings, unless the Imperial Family personally made a move, no one could really shake the defense of the seven people under the combined might of the Great Yan Dynasty.

Zhou Tian had already made the arrangements long ago. This time, no matter what the situation was, he had to save Qin Shaojie and save the Sunburn Tree. Only if the Sunburn Tree were to live would Holy Flame Academy have a chance to continue developing, or even a better development. If anyone tried to pose a threat to Qin Shaojie's movements inside, he would not mind killing them immediately.

There was not the slightest indication that the seven of them were moving. However, even though they were quietly standing in the air, they still attracted some people's attention.

Following that, countless pairs of eyes turned towards the direction of Holy Flame Academy. At the same time, countless sounds of astonishment and discussion rose within the crowd. This was the first time they had seen such a huge commotion in the Holy Flame Academy in so many years.

Even when the ancient ruins were opened last time, the Holy Flame Academy would not have sent out so many Earth Origin Stage experts to guard it. However, the situation this time around had caused many people to vaguely sense that something had happened inside the Holy Flame Academy.

Ever since that situation had occurred in the ancient ruins, the entire Holy Flame Academy seemed to be in a strange state.

But no matter what the reason was, Holy Flame Academy's current movements were undoubtedly revealing a piece of information to everyone. If someone were to try to be clever enough to enter Holy Flame Academy at this time, that person would probably be met with the boundless fury of Holy Flame Academy.

In the Great Yan Dynasty, if there was something that the Holy Flame Academy wanted to do, how many powers could possibly stop it?

Those who looked over were not fools. To be able to completely fuse his own aura with the surrounding world, other than those experts at the Earth Origin Stage realm, there were no other practitioners.

Aside from the royal family, only the Holy Flame Academy had the ability to send out seven powerful existences with Earth Origin Stage at once. It was truly worthy of being called the school with the strongest foundation in the Great Yan Dynasty. This state caused everyone's heart to sink, this foundation was not something other families could compare with, no wonder after so many years, Holy Flame Academy did indeed have the qualifications to be in the first round.

And inside the Holy Flame Academy, Wen Ya, who was outside of the Sacred Heart Lake, was also currently frowning. The movement in front of her eyes was so huge, that it was enough for her to see what was going to happen next.

"I'll have to trouble Elder Ye to look for Qin Mai and try to move some of the experts around the Holy Flame Academy. If there really is a special situation to restrain the Holy Flame Academy, he can do something about it."

Before Wen Ya came to the Holy Flame Academy, he had already arranged all of the Death Soldiers that she had secretly groomed around the academy as a hidden power in case they needed it. However, she was still worried, especially considering that Qin Shaojie was currently in a weak state. Now, the only person who could find help with a certain amount of strength was Qin Mai.

Towards this, Old Ye did not hesitate and shot towards the empire with a nod. If anyone else had the ability to request for a book from a powerhouse at the Earth Origin Stage level, then Qin Mai would be the only one.

Qin Shaojie was not clear about what was happening in the outside world, but he had already circled around the Sunburn Tree a few times. Every time he circled around the Sunburn Tree, his expression would become a little more serious.

If he had arrived here earlier, the situation would not have been so dire. However, the Sunburn Tree was not only withering right now, even the trunk of the tree had started to rot. The rate at which the Sunburn Tree rotted was extremely fast. According to this trend, within seven days, the Sunburn Tree would disappear from the Sacred Heart Lake, leaving behind at most one or two pieces of wood.

With this degree of decomposition, a simple gentle push with the palm of the hand on the Sunburn Tree was able to leave a deep imprint. In this situation, a Sunburn Tree was undoubtedly quite weak.

According to Qin Shaojie's plans, he had to borrow the profound veins's power from below and channel the essence into the Sunburn Tree. Only with the help of Nightmare Aroma and various supplementary materials, the Sunburn Tree would be able to survive. However, the current situation made even Qin Shaojie worried whether or not this Sunburn Tree could withstand the impact of the profound veins's energy of nature's essence. If he was not careful, the entire Sunburn Tree could completely turn into ashes under the fusion of this essence.

At that time, everything would be for nothing. Not only would the Sunburn Tree not survive, it might even cause a commotion among the profound veins.

"Dammit, looks like that's the only way!"

After a long while, Qin Shaojie's legs also stopped, and a ruthless expression also flowed out from his face. In the current situation, only by placing himself within a Sunburn Tree and helping it share the profound energy of heaven and earth that was being emitted from the profound veins would there be a certain probability of success

If it was anyone else doing this, there would be no way for them to survive. After all, ordinary people could not absorb and refine the essence within the dense profound veins. Even if a talented person could absorb some of it, they would definitely not be able to absorb that much.

A little bit of the essence emitted by the Heaven and Earth profound veins would definitely have a beneficial effect on the warriors, but this time, it was not just a little. As for how much there was, even Qin Shaojie himself was not sure. With just a slight mistake, the essence drawn out from the heaven and earth profound veins would be enough to break one's own body.

The most important thing was that Qin Shaojie was currently still injured, and his condition was not at its peak. This is why the risk is increased.

But other than that, Qin Shaojie could not think of any other method. He understood very clearly that if this dragged on, this method would not even need to be tried, and the Sunburn Tree would just rot on the spot, completely rot.

Slowly exhaling the foul air from his mouth, Qin Shaojie's gaze landed on the huge withered tree trunk of the Sunburn Tree, and finally chose to look at the middle of the tree trunk. There were no branches around, and it was not scattered at all, moreover, it was a place very close to the roots of the Sunburn Tree.

After that, Qin Shaojie quietly controlled his own profound energy and gently dug out a cave from the tree trunk that was just large enough to hold him, and then entered.

He sat cross-legged in the cave. The size of the cave was just enough to accommodate him. It had to be said that even though the Sunburn Tree was already withered or even decayed, he still felt a faint profound energy vibration inside the tree hole. If the Sunburn Tree was able to recover its life force, and Su Baichen was still able to stand by the Sunburn Tree's side, then the life energy that it had lost would definitely be able to be made up for by the pure profound energy that the Sunburn Tree emitted.

The hand seal changed again, forcefully combining the Profound Spirit Qi from the rotten wood that he had deactivated, and then completely sealed the cave entrance in front of him.

From the outside, it was hard to find a person hiding inside the Sunburn Tree.

"Whether it succeeds or not will depend on luck."

After doing all this, Qin Shaojie took in a deep breath. He was even more nervous than when he was fighting outside, because this was a battle that he could not see. If he was not careful, he might not even know how he fell.

No matter what, he had to give it a try.

After finishing all of this, Qin Shaojie clenched his fists tightly, and all the profound energy in his body gathered on his fists.

The way to stop the profound veins from fighting was very simple. Under the state of the Sunburn Tree decaying, when a wave of power directly passed through the Sunburn Tree's foundation to break through the ground below, it was originally to go to the Sunburn Tree to suppress them. The profound veins had a few cracks on its surface, and there was no need to tear some of those cracks to become even larger.

This required excellent control of one's strength. After all, if the profound energy burst out too far, and the cracks were irregular, then the profound veins essence that gushed out would not only be the Sunburn Tree's channel.

But in this regard, Qin Shaojie actually had very strong confidence.
