The Holy Artifact of the White Tiger Clan indeed possesses extraordinary abilities.

As for what exactly it is, even the current High Priest cannot articulate clearly, let alone the ancestors of the White Tiger Clan who discovered this object.

They only knew that it could carry the Inner Strength of the Emperor Heart Technique, so it was treated as a hereditary object and passed down.

Each generation's High Priest was able to utilize this object to practice the Emperor Heart Technique, actually owing to the blessings left by their ancestors, from which they extracted power and integrated it into themselves.

At the end of their lives, they would then return this power back to the object.

Over time, the accumulated Inner Strength inside it could be described as profound and abyssal.

The secrets that were never recorded in writing were ultimately passed down orally.

Even the four great masters of the Da Xuan Dynasty penetrated this place.

They uncovered the mysteries of the Emperor Heart Technique and understood that this martial art was extraordinarily unique.

Once passed on, it was hard to say whether it would be a blessing or a curse.

However, the clan's Holy Artifact was extremely precious.

Therefore, they didn't desire the Emperor Heart Technique, but instead targeted the Holy Artifact, seeking to plunder it.

At that time, the High Priest was indeed no match for them.

Not to mention the thus far unrevealed grandmaster, even against the bearer of the Nine Purple, the High Priest struggled in a series of battles and eventually faltered.

The chronicles claiming thousands of exchanged blows without a victor are indeed an embellishment for their High Priest.

Ultimately, left with no choice, the High Priest had to employ the Holy Artifact.

Activating the Inner Strength of the Emperor Heart Technique contained within.

Once triggered, the object truly possessed the power to destroy heaven and earth.

Finally, the one who had never made a move, took action.

Only by combining the power of the four great masters were they able to withstand the might of the Holy Artifact.

However, their hearts of conflict were also diminished.

The four great masters were uncertain whether they could withstand the power of the Holy Artifact if it were activated a second time.

And the High Priest of that era also did not know if he could activate the Holy Artifact again.

Both sides had their concerns.

After this strike, the Holy Artifact even developed cracks, and a piece of it shattered.

Ultimately they chose to negotiate peace and took a middle path.

The four great masters took away the shattered piece of the Holy Artifact, and the White Tiger Clan declared allegiance to the Da Xuan Dynasty, renaming the Emperor Heart Technique to Amber Scripture.

Thus, the trip of the four great masters wasn't in vain, and they could report back to Emperor Xuan.

The White Tiger Clan also preserved their martial arts and most of the Holy Artifact.

This incident finally came to a closure.

However, for the White Tiger Clan, enduring such an ordeal was deeply unsettling.

This began their search for other means to enhance the power of their clan.

Among which, how to utilize the might of the Holy Artifact was their top priority.

Letting the High Priest activate the power of the Holy Artifact was indeed a viable strategy.

But the problem was, it was extremely taxing on the High Priest.

The High Priest of that generation died a few days after the four great masters retreated, due to the backlash of the Inner Strength of the Emperor Heart Technique within the Holy Artifact.

If not for such a cost, at the moment the four great masters arrived, they would have directly used the Holy Artifact to obliterate them at Baihu City.

This method could be used once but not again, previously they were indifferent because they didn't expect anyone could withstand the might of the Holy Artifact.

Now that the existence of the four great masters was confirmed, they had to consider how to activate the power of the Holy Artifact without gambling on the life of the High Priest.

Finally, they had a sudden idea to find a 'Container'.

This wasn't to create the mythical Tiger Lord.

After all, in their legends, the Tiger Lord ascended to heaven, leaving them as the divine offspring on earth.

If the Tiger Lord appeared, why wouldn't he take them to the heavens?

Thus logically and emotionally speaking, if the Tiger Lord appeared, it would be a devastating blow to their previously claimed beliefs.

The real intent was merely to explore other methods to activate the power of the Holy Artifact.

If successful, even if the Da Xuan Dynasty returned with force, they might not be fearful.

Yet unexpectedly, before this could be achieved, Da Xuan fell.

In principle, with Da Xuan gone, they no longer had to sacrifice the lives of mighty tigers in the mountains, stubbornly clinging to this.

However, the problem was, during the battle between the four great masters and the High Priest, their clan's Holy Artifact indeed suffered considerable damage.

Besides the shattered piece, the Holy Artifact also developed cracks, initially not very obvious, but as time passed, these cracks became clearer and spread further.

And the Inner Strength of the Emperor Heart Technique stored within the Holy Artifact, as the cracks widened, gradually dissipated.

If it were merely damaged, they could have reluctantly accepted it.

But the loss of Inner Strength within the Holy Artifact was unbearably hard to accept.

At this point, they finally panicked.

They began to gather the wise among their clan to research how to repair the Holy Artifact.

Exhausting all means after racking their brains.

They finally identified two methods.

The first method was to integrate strange iron into the Holy Artifact to mend the cracks.

Ordinary materials would not suffice.

They could not even blend with the Holy Artifact.

Only top-quality materials would work.

This posed a great challenge for the people of the White Tiger Clan.

They had lived in this place for generations; unless utterly necessary, they indeed were reluctant to leave.

Furthermore, their dynasty of hereditary inheritance, forever using myths and legends to cement the faith of the White Tiger Clan.
