Invincible Martial King

In this way, regardless of whether they were to retreat or advance, it would be a dead end.    

    

Everyone was currently in a dilemma.    

    

Lu Chen's brows were also tightly locked together. If he withdrew now, it would cause such a huge commotion, and as long as the people from Everlasting Saint Palace weren't stupid, there would definitely be an eternal powerhouse guarding the Sacred Palace that would seal the exit.    

    

Even if Everlasting Saint Palace were to go all out, it was impossible for them to not have an Imperishable Realm expert guarding the headquarters.    

    

If he charged into the fourth floor, he would also have to face a terrifying expert that was equivalent to an indestructible existence. However, if he could delay the other party from rescuing the Heaven And Earth Sect Masters and other experts, there was a slim chance of survival.    

    

After pondering for a moment, Lu Chen slowly said: "It's hard to succeed regardless of whether you advance or retreat, but I still recommend you to pass the 4th level, at least there's a slight chance."    

    

Hearing this, Qiu Daozi and the others looked at each other and felt that Lu Chen was right.    

    

"But that guard on the fourth stratum is simply too powerful. Even if we joined forces, we still wouldn't be able to fight back."    

    

"This is going to be troublesome."    

    

… ….    

    

The few of them were frowning in distress.    

    

Lu Chen thought for a moment, looked at Qiu Daozi and asked softly, "If we continue to release the prisoners from the third floor, can we have them buy us some time?"    

    

"I'm afraid not."    

    

Unexpectedly, Qiu Daozi and the others shook their heads.    

    

Without waiting for Lu Chen to continue asking, Qiu Daozi explained, "The prisoners in the third floor are indeed very strong, and there are even several top class and powerful people among them. However, my senior brothers have already observed their violent and murderous habits."    

    

"If they break free from their shackles, they probably won't be going to the fourth floor with us to deal with that guard. Instead, they will be the first to attack us, and even chop off our heads in exchange for freedom from the Holy Palace."    

    

Qiu Daozi was not exaggerating at all. When he was trying to dodge the scorpion, Lu Chen also noticed that the people in the cells were all fierce and brutal existences.    

    

The prisoners on the second floor were all wary of their own strength. If they let the prisoners on the third floor out, they probably wouldn't be afraid of their own strength, but would instead be self-sustaining and would end up doing unfavorable things.    

    

Lu Chen dispelled the thought of releasing the other experts on the third floor. After all, the majority of those being held in custody by Everlasting Saint Palace were extremely vicious, and only a portion of the ordinary practitioners who were imprisoned innocently because they had offended the academy.    

    

Just when they were frowning, one of the elders' eyes suddenly lit up. He seemed to have thought of something and looked at Lu Chen and the others, hesitating to speak.    

    

"I think there's a way."    

    

"Senior brother Lee Shi, what method is this?" Qiu Daozi asked impatiently.    

    

Lu Chen also looked over. This person called Lee Shi was the most experienced out of the few Heaven And Earth Sect Elders.    

    

"Dowry Profound Arts." Lee Shi said word by word after a moment of silence.    

    

"What?"    

    

"Dowry Profound Arts!"    

    

Hearing this, the faces of Qiu Daozi and the others changed. This Dowry Profound Arts was a type of martial arts technique that was extremely secret and only the Sect Leader and several elders with the deepest experience had the qualifications to comprehend it. Even they had never learned it.    

    

"Dowry Profound Arts can gather the power of several people and can be used on one person. If Mr. Lu Chen is able to practice this technique, we can temporarily lend you our strength. We can at least contend with the guards on the fourth layer for a short period of time."    

    

"But we haven't even learned Dowry Profound Arts, how can we hand it over to Mr. Lu Chen?"    

    

Qiu Daozi asked in confusion.    

    

At this time, Lee Shi let out a bitter laugh and said with a complicated expression: "Even though you and I have never practiced this technique before, the library in charge of Heaven And Earth Sect remembered this technique with our hearts."    

    

"Furthermore, I have personally witnessed the Sect Leader display it before. If it is just a simple teaching, I should not have any problem."    

    

"Senior Brother Lee, you …"    

    

Hearing this, the faces of Qiu Daozi and the others all changed. According to Lee Shi, he had once read the Dowry Profound Arts in violation of the sect's rules.    

    

"I was curious."    

    

"Later on, when the Sect Leader found out that this matter was not my fault, he even personally gave me some pointers. Unfortunately, my talent is so dull that it's hard to learn." Saying that, Lee Shi sighed.    

    

"So that's how it is."    

    

Hearing this, Qiu Daozi and the others calmed down a little. Although they were surprised that their Sect Leader let Lee Shi go, they still considered their current situation and difficulties more.    

    

"According to what Elder Li said, this Dowry Profound Arts is a secret of the Heaven And Earth Sect, if you were to secretly pass it down to me, wouldn't that be in violation of the rules of the Heaven And Earth Sect?" Lu Chen suddenly reminded after a moment of silence.    

    

Hearing this, both Lee Shi and Qiu Daozi fell silent.    

    

A moment later, an elder shook his head and sighed: "Now that the Heaven And Earth Sect has been destroyed, in order to save Sect Master and the others, what can be done?"    

    

"It's better than dying, isn't it?"    

    

"That's right, as long as we can save everyone, our Heaven And Earth Sect will have hope of revival. Adhering to the sect's rules is also the time to re-establish our Heaven And Earth Sect in the future." Qiu Daozi nodded his head heavily and agreed with this point of view.    

    

Even though they were all elders of the Heaven And Earth Sect, they were not people who did not know how to change their ways of thinking. As long as there was a sliver of hope at the moment, they could not give up.    

    

"If junior brothers do not object, I will pass this Dowry Profound Arts to Mr. Lu Chen. At that time, if Sect Leader truly wants to blame me, I am willing to shoulder the responsibility." Lee Shi's face was solemn as he spoke solemnly.    

    

"What does Senior Brother Lee mean by that? Don't tell me he looks down on us?"    

    

"At that time, the head will really blame us. I am willing to live and die with you." Qiu Daozi was the first to express his opinion.    

    

"That's right, I'm willing as well."    

    

"As long as we can revive the Heaven And Earth Sect, what's there to be afraid of in the face of death!"    

    

The other three solemnly nodded their heads, indicating that they were willing to share the responsibility with Lee Shi.    

    

Seeing that they had the same opinion, Lee Shi turned to look at Lu Chen, and said with an amiable expression: "Little Brother Lu, for you to be able to save our Heaven And Earth Sect, we cannot thank you enough."    

    

"However, I still hope that little brother can truly comprehend this profound art. In the future, without the approval of the Heaven And Earth Sect, don't pass this profound art down to outsiders."    

    

"Naturally." Lu Chen agreed.    

    

"Alright."    

    

"Then let's not waste time, right now I will pass down all the Dowry Profound Arts to you, little brother Lu needs to carefully comprehend it, if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me."    

    

With that, Lee Shi reached out his finger and tapped Lu Chen's forehead with his finger.    

    

As Lee Shi's fingertip landed on his forehead, Lu Chen's mind suddenly had a new set of martial arts technique. Although it was a bit obscure, but what kind of person was Lu Chen? In his previous life, he was a powerhouse with profound strength and had unique insights into martial arts techniques. In less than an hour, he had completely engraved the contents of this book in his heart.    

    

Even with his experience, this technique was unique. It allowed him to borrow the strength of others to temporarily use power that exceeded common sense.    

    

Lu Chen sat cross-legged on the ground, meticulously comprehending the profoundness of the Dowry Profound Arts. Lee Shi and the others quietly stayed by his side, preventing anyone from disturbing his cultivation.    

    

"Senior Brother Lee, how long will it take to learn and cultivate the Dowry Profound Arts for you to succeed?" Qiu Daozi couldn't help but ask in a low voice.    

    

"Back then, in order to understand this technique, I had to spend several months. Later on, when I tried to cultivate it, I had to spend nearly half a year to no avail."    

    

"If you are a talented person like Mr. Lu Chen, I think you will only need a few days to comprehend the technique. After two to three months, you should be able to improve."    

    

"Doesn't that mean it will take several months?" Hearing this, Qiu Daozi and the rest frowned. If the Everlasting Saint Palace practitioners were to rush in from outside during these few months, they would undoubtedly die.    

    

However, cultivation techniques were not something that could be rushed, so they could only patiently wait.
