Chapter 1284 Heart Protecting Scale

"Five realms of Holy Scale?" Xiao Lin was shocked when he heard this. The Holy Scale Burning Heaven Skill he had obtained only had three realms, so how could there be five realms?

The clan leader did not hear the meaning of Xiao Lin's surprised words, nodded, and continued: "The Holy Scale Skill has five realms, namely, Gold Transformation, Mysterious Scale, Blood Flame, Nirvana, and Extreme Strength. The Holy Scale Skill was originally created by immortals and immortals, and the Golden Crow Black Phoenix already had the blood of the Phoenix in his body. The Holy Scale Skill he created also needs to experience a Nirvana rebirth, so as to be reborn and advance to the true extreme strength realm. Unfortunately, only the ancestor of our Holy Scale clan has successfully achieved Nirvana, and none of us, the unworthy descendants, can continue the glory of our ancestors."

Xiao Lin was extremely surprised when he heard this, and at the same time he wanted to know where the skills of the last two realms of the Holy Scale Burning Heaven Skill were.

It turned out that the Holy Scale Burning Heaven Skill he had obtained was just a fragment.

It was no wonder that when he was cultivating the Holy Scale Indestructible Body, although he made some progress, he always felt a sense of stagnation. Now that he thought about it, it was probably because he had never browsed the complete version of the Holy Scale Burning Heaven Technique and could not integrate the formula.

"Could it be that the Holy Scale Burning Heaven Technique that Yuan Hong's father Yuan Zhu gave to me was incomplete? Or did he not give me the complete version?"

After thinking about it, Xiao Lin ruled out this idea. Yuan Zhu entrusted Yuan Hong to him, and even the Holy Scale Burning Heaven Technique that Yuan Hong practiced was taught by him. Moreover, Yuan Zhu had already passed away, so there was no need to give him a fragmentary copy.

That means the Holy Scale Burning Heaven Technique in Yuan Zhu's hands was incomplete.

But why did this spiritual world technique end up in the mortal world? Why did it become incomplete again? Xiao Lin couldn't figure it out.

Thinking of this, Xiao Lin couldn't help but fall silent.

"Master Immortal Envoy, I have an unwelcome request. I wonder if I should say it or not?" The clan leader looked at Xiao Lin and asked cautiously.

Xiao Lin was awakened by his words, waved his hand, and said, "Go ahead."

"Although I don't know where Master Immortal Envoy practiced the Holy Scale Art, this Holy Scale Art was created by our ancestors of the Holy Scale Clan after all. I wonder if Master Immortal Envoy can return the Holy Scale Art formula to our Holy Scale Clan."

Before Xiao Lin answered, the clan leader continued, "Of course, our Holy Scale Clan will not let Master Immortal Envoy return it in vain. In order to repay the kindness of the Immortal Envoy, I am willing to give Master Immortal Envoy the heart-protecting scales from my ancestors."

"Heart-protecting scales?" Xiao Lin smiled. Slightly surprised, others may not know the function of this heart-protecting scale, but he knows it after practicing the Holy Scale Burning Heaven Art. After practicing the Holy Scale Burning Heaven Art to the seventh level of Xuan Scale, the biggest sign is that a heart-protecting scale will grow on the body. This heart-protecting scale can protect the most vulnerable part of the body, and the vulnerable part of each person who practices the Holy Scale Burning Heaven Art is different, because after practicing to the seventh level of Xuan Scale, the blood vessels of the whole body will be completely connected, but there is an intersection, which is the most vulnerable part of the Holy Scale Burning Heaven Art.

Once this place is attacked fatally, it will cause the blood and qi of the whole body to be scattered, and even cause the body to explode and die in severe cases.

Therefore, Xiao Lin never told others the location of his heart-protecting scale, even Lin Xueying and his apprentice did not know.

And the heart-protecting scale is also the toughest scale armor on the body of a person who practices the Holy Scale Burning Heaven Art. As the realm is improved, this scale armor will also rise with the tide and become more and more tough.

Even if you practice the Holy Scale Immortal Body, this weakness still exists.

In Xiao Lin's opinion, this is understandable. All things in the world are interdependent and mutually restraining. There is no existence that can overcome all things. Even if the Holy Scale Burning Heaven Technique is cultivated to the pinnacle, it will eventually have its weaknesses.

The ancestor of the Holy Scale Clan is the only one who has cultivated the Holy Scale Burning Heaven Technique to the highest level. He can rely on this body-refining technique to fight against a Mahayana cultivator, which shows his extraordinary talent.

The heart-protecting scale condensed on his body is probably one of the hardest objects in the world.

If it can be used to refine an immortal treasure, the defense power will definitely reach an appalling level.

But Xiao Lin began to think quickly in his heart. He was thinking about whether to use his third-level Holy Scale Burning Heaven Technique to exchange for the heart-protecting scale.

"This heart-protecting scale, with the blessing of our ancestors' blood and qi, can withstand the attack of a peak cultivator who has passed through the tribulation three times. However, in the endless years, it has been used up twice, and there is only one left. But even if there is only one left, it is still a supreme treasure that can save your life."

As if he was worried that Xiao Lin would not exchange it, the clan leader continued to increase the price.

Sure enough, hearing that this heart-protecting scale could withstand the attack of a cultivator who has passed through the tribulation, Xiao Lin was really moved.

"Xiao is willing to exchange the heart-protecting scale with the Burning Heaven Art I know, but Xiao has only practiced the three realms of art. As for the two realms of Nirvana and Strength, even Xiao does not have the heart formula. Even if I want to give you the complete Holy Scale Art, I can't do it."

When the clan leader heard this, an expression of loss that could not be concealed appeared on his old face.

The third level of the Holy Scale Art was not enough to lead the tribe back to the peak of the spirit world, but he thought that at least the Holy Scale Clan could get rid of the fate of being a second-rate tribe from now on, and even if there was a complete version of the Holy Scale Art, I am afraid no one could really practice it to the fifth level.

Thinking of this, the clan leader immediately agreed.

"Come with me, Immortal Envoy." Seeing that Xiao Lin did not give him the art first, the clan leader immediately knew the other party's intention, knowing that the other party wanted him to hand over the Heart Scale first, and then give him the secret book of the art.

For him, it was understandable. Although the Holy Scale Clan did not practice immortal arts, the clan leader was also knowledgeable and knew some of the methods of immortal practitioners.

If he really wanted to make the person in front of him happy, he would probably use the cruel soul-searching technique, and the secrets in his heart would still not be kept.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to take the initiative and strive for more benefits for the clan members.

Xiao Lin followed the clan leader and headed to the back of the palace. After passing through a long and narrow corridor, the two came to a secret room. In the center of the secret room was a golden statue. The statue was covered with golden scales and was extremely majestic. Its eyes exuded a sharp aura, giving people a feeling of looking down on the world.

The clan leader came to the statue, looked at the statue, and a trace of nostalgia appeared on his face. Then, under Xiao Lin's gaze, he slowly knelt down.

After kowtowed three times respectfully, the clan leader came to the statue, gently touched a golden scale on the left side of the statue's chest, and pressed it down suddenly.

With the sound of "kachakacha", the golden statue slowly sank, and from the place where it sank, a golden stone pier rose again, on which was placed a jade box about the size of a foot.

The clan leader opened the jade box with reluctance, revealing a palm-sized golden heart-shaped scale inside.

Xiao Lin stepped forward and gently picked up the scale. The scale was unusually heavy, as if it weighed a thousand pounds. The front of the scale showed an ancient pattern, and the pattern vaguely floated with golden spiritual charm. However, there were two obvious cracks on the golden pattern, and the back was as bright as a mirror. Xiao Lin could even clearly see his own appearance, which was reflected on the scale.

"Is this the heart-protecting scale of your ancestor?"

"Yes, in the history of our clan, our ancestors had escaped two disasters with this heart-protecting scale. If it is used again, the spiritual power contained in this heart-protecting scale will dissipate. Alas."

A soft sigh revealed the clan leader's reluctance to part with this scale. At this time, it was the only relic left by their ancestors, but for the prosperity of the clan, he could not care so much.

After all, the Three Realms Holy Scale Art will definitely bring about earth-shaking changes for their Holy Scale Clan. As long as a few people in the clan can practice the Three Realms Holy Scale Art, their Holy Scale Clan's position in this chaotic sea will be truly stabilized, and they will also occupy a place in the entire Star Sea Region, instead of being a low-ranking role like now.

Xiao Lin put away the Heart Protecting Scale, and the clan leader also looked at Xiao Lin with hope, but his heart was full of uneasiness.

He was worried that the person in front of him would not hand over the Three Realms Holy Scale Art as promised. If so, he would be helpless.

But no matter what, the Heart Protecting Scale can only protect them from a disaster at most, while the Three Realms Holy Scale Art can make their clan stronger. Which is more important? No matter what, he has to take a gamble.

At this time, Xiao Lin's hand flashed with a light, revealing a thin booklet. This booklet was specially written when he was practicing the Holy Scale Burning Heaven Technique in order to have a deeper understanding of the mental method. In several places, there are also records of his practice experience.

The Holy Scale Clan did not practice immortal arts, so they could not use their spiritual sense to view the jade slips. After thinking for a while, Xiao Lin took out this thin booklet.

He handed it to the clan leader.

The clan leader looked at the five big characters [Holy Scale Burning Heaven Technique] on the thin booklet and immediately showed a surprised expression.

"Holy Scale Burning Heaven Technique, this is the name our clan members gave to this technique countless years ago, but it was later changed to Burning Heaven Technique."

As he spoke, the clan leader looked at Xiao Lin and suddenly knelt down: "Thank you, Immortal Envoy, for giving this technique to our Holy Scale Clan. From now on, the Immortal Envoy is the benefactor of our Holy Scale Clan. Whenever it is useful, our Holy Scale Clan will never forget your kindness and go all out in the future."

Xiao Lin did not expect the clan leader to be so excited. Seeing this, he immediately waved his sleeves and a great force was silently released, helping the clan leader up.

"Clan leader, there is no need to be so. The Holy Scale Burning Heaven Technique is just returned to the Holy Scale Clan. It is also a small thing Xiao Lin did for the nobles. So Xiao will take his leave."

Since Xiao Lin had already obtained the Heart Protecting Scale, he did not think about staying any longer. Instead, after saying goodbye to the clan leader, he drove the escape light and left.

On the way, Xiao Lin felt a little depressed. Although he knew that the Holy Scale Burning Heaven Art had five realms, and that above the three realms of Gold Transformation, Mysterious Scale, and Blood Flame that he practiced, there were also the Nirvana and Extreme Strength realms, he did not get the practice method.

This made him quite disappointed. The Holy Scale Burning Heaven Art was very important to Xiao Lin. Since he got this art, Xiao Lin had defeated the enemy countless times with this art.

Especially when his meridians were broken and he could not use his magic power, it was with the Holy Scale Burning Heaven Art that he survived the disasters again and again.

Although he has only cultivated to the seventh level of Xuan Scale and has not advanced to the Blood Flame Realm, his physical realm has advanced to the Holy Realm. If he can cultivate to the seventh level of Blood Flame, how strong his physical body will be, he himself can't imagine, and if he can get the Nirvana and Extreme Strength Realm, wouldn't it be even more amazing.

It is no wonder that the ancestors of the Holy Scale Clan were able to fight against the Mahayana cultivators with the Holy Scale Burning Heaven Art at the Great Accomplishment Realm.

And from the fact that he relied on one person to allow the entire Holy Scale Clan to occupy a region, I am afraid that in terms of real combat power, it is even more than that of ordinary Mahayana cultivators.

You know, the Tianmu Clan now has two Mahayana cultivators, but they only occupy the entire Beitian Fragmented Realm, and they cannot occupy a region.

A month later, Xiao Lin returned to Taoyuan Island and entered his cave. On the way back, he went to Baidi Immortal City and took some materials from Zhongshengzhai. However, due to the short time, there were not many, and it was still far from the agreed date.

But Xiao Lin didn't care. After taking the collected materials, he agreed on the next date, left Baidi Immortal City, and returned to his cave.

Xiao Lin sat cross-legged in the cave, holding the golden scale in his hand, looking at it over and over again.

Although this scale is inconspicuous, it is extremely tough. Xiao Lin even tried to cut it with the Qingluan Ice Thunder Sword, but there was not even a trace.

Looking at the two obvious cracks on it, Xiao Lin was also secretly shocked. Through the patriarch of the Holy Scale Clan, Xiao Lin knew that this heart-protecting scale could actually block the full-strength attack of a cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage.

From this, we can see how tough it is. It would be strange if the Blue Luan Ice Thunder Sword could destroy it.

But Xiao Lin also thought it was a pity. This heart-protecting scale was definitely an extremely precious top-level refining material, but with his current realm and cultivation, he was simply not enough to refine it.

Naturally, it was impossible to change its shape and properties, so as to refine it into a magic weapon.

Xiao Lin looked at the heart-protecting scale in his hand and soon became fascinated.

If it could not be refined into a magic weapon, then he could only use it as a trump card to save his life at the critical moment.

Unconsciously, Xiao Lin activated the Holy Scale Burning Heaven Technique, and the blood in his body surged out like waves, passing through his palm and injected into the heart-protecting scale.

Then a strange scene happened. Xiao Lin's blood and qi were continuously injected into the heart-protecting scales. The heart-protecting scales also shone with golden light.

Xiao Lin suddenly woke up from his trance. With a thought, he did not stop injecting blood and qi. Instead, he used all his strength to operate the Holy Scale Burning Heaven Technique and injected his blood and qi into the heart-protecting scales.

"Buzz~~"

After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Lin's blood and qi had been injected into the scales. He even felt tired.

Just when he was about to give up, a series of words suddenly appeared on the mirror of the back of the heart-protecting scales. Soon, these words covered the entire mirror.

This...

Xiao Lin looked at the words on it and smiled helplessly. It turned out that he did not recognize the words on it.
