Nan Jue's conclusion was actually simple.
In short, Crimson Blade: Burning Heaven had been forged from Totem Beasts and could absorb any energy entity born of Magic Energy.
It was a bold, imaginative conclusion.
After all, from a modern perspective, the ability to devour energy seemed like an utterly evil power.

And when he considered Burning Heaven's abilities alongside her theory, Zhou Sining believed she had uncovered its true origins, no matter how often she stressed that it was only a wild guess.
"So that's it..."
