This made Lei Xingfeng think of a way. He said, "Let me give it a try."
Immediately, everyone's eyes swept over. So many Dao Lord Patriarchs and Heavenly Lords were helpless. At a glance, they knew that Lei Xingfeng was a new Heavenly Lord. His cultivation was very stable, but it was still incomparable to most Heavenly Lords. In fact, Lei Xingfeng's strength was not much weaker than other Heavenly Lords. He had his own secret weapon, but the aura he exuded still made people feel that he lacked some foundation and accumulation.
Patriarch Huai Cheng's eyes lit up. He did not care if Lei Xingfeng was a new Heavenly Lord or an ordinary Perfected Person. As long as he could pass this Path of Death, he would definitely not be stingy with his rewards.
One of the Patriarchs said, "Should we call a Perfected Person over to try?"
Lei Xingfeng shook his head and said, "Yes."
The Patriarch immediately gave the order. A moment later, a Perfected Person with an ashen face came in front of him. He was probably a guard of the secret sect. With a Ninth Ring True Body, his status was about the same as Jin Daya and the others beside Lei Xingfeng. Of course, Lei Xingfeng would never let Jin Daya do this.
Seeing the Perfected Person in front of him, Lei Xingfeng said, "Don't be nervous. I have some confidence."
The Perfected Person smiled bitterly but did not say anything.
Lei Xingfeng came to the pillar in the middle of the road. He raised his hand and an electric arc hit one of the nodes. In an instant, a light shield expanded. Lei Xingfeng turned around and said, "Follow me."
The Perfected Person walked behind Lei Xingfeng in fear. Lei Xingfeng said, "Come in when you see me activate the defense."
The Perfected Person looked at Lei Xingfeng in confusion. He did not understand.
Then, Lei Xingfeng released another lightning arc. This time, it hit the second pillar. In an instant, the second pillar's defense was activated. In an instant, the defense of the two pillars intersected, forming a simple passage. Then, Lei Xingfeng activated the pillar's defense while walking.
That Daoist Master followed with fear and trepidation, going deep into the defense of the pillar.
Sure enough, this was the correct way to go. If the pillar's defense could not be activated, then apart from cultivators of the Monarch rank and above, no one else would be able to pass.
The joy on Ancestor Huai Cheng's face grew stronger and stronger. He couldn't help but clap and say, "Good!" Up until now, that Adept didn't have any problems.
Soon, Lei Xingfeng and the Daoist retreated. All of the Daoist Patriarchs smiled.
Old Ancestor Huai Cheng lamented, "I didn't expect you to know so much about restrictions. Not bad. Don't worry, I'll give you the reward immediately." As he spoke, he took out a copy of the Star Python Record and said, "This is a copy of a basic fire-attribute cultivation technique. As long as a fire-attribute cultivator finds the right place, it won't be a problem for them to advance to the Monarch rank."
Lei Xingfeng thanked him and accepted it. The other Daoist Patriarchs also took out their rewards. One of them asked, "How long can this defensive restriction be activated?"
This question was on point. If there wasn't enough time, it would be troublesome.
Lei Xingfeng said, "I haven't paid attention to this, so I need some time to observe."
Old Ancestor Huai Cheng said, "Okay, let's observe first. Two to three days will be enough." In fact, not to mention two or three days, even eight or ten days wouldn't be enough. However, two or three days would be enough for the elite disciples of their secret sects to pass. As for the people behind them, they had already given up.
Lei Xingfeng also understood, but what could he do? He said, "We also have some people, about a few hundred people. I hope they can join the queue."
Old Ancestor Huai Cheng nodded and said, "Of course." As he spoke, he began to allocate the spots. The elite disciples were in front to ensure that they could pass safely. The important people were in front, and the unimportant people were in the back. This arrangement was the same in all the secret sects.
Every Daoist Patriarch was competing for the position at the front of the queue. Being in the front meant that they were safe. Who knew when the defense would suddenly disappear? Once it disappeared, the Perfected Ones inside would be dead.
Lei Xingfeng didn't care and asked Gao Ye to bring his team up.
No matter what, Lei Xingfeng could put his people in front. They might not be in the front, but they would definitely be in a safe position.
After waiting for three days, the pillar's defense was still there. This time, the Daoist Patriarchs were relieved. Food and water were even more scarce, so they didn't have time to waste. Old Ancestor Huai Cheng asked Lei Xingfeng to reactivate the pillar's defense. Several Patriarchs protected Lei Xingfeng as they moved forward. They had tried, but none of the Daoist Patriarchs could activate the pillar's defense. They couldn't find the nodes of the pillar's restriction. As for the proper activation method, no one knew. Even Lei Xingfeng didn't know.
Activating the defense all the way, a pearl-like path extended forward.
Lei Xingfeng's activation speed was extremely fast. When the electric arc hit the nodes, the pillar's defense would activate. Therefore, he was running. The people behind him were also running. Every small section of the path was guarded by a Perfected Lord or Heavenly Lord. Any disturbance or dispute would immediately lead to a massacre. Old Ancestor Huai Cheng gave the strictest order. Anyone who interfered with the speed of the march was to be killed. No matter who it was, as long as they dared to block the path of the people behind, they were to be killed without any explanation.
In order to ensure that as many people as possible passed through, the Daoist Patriarchs could only give such an order. After the pillar's defense was activated, who knew when it would close? Lei Xingfeng couldn't turn back to activate it again.
Fortunately, it took less than two days for them to pass through this strange black silk zone. Of course, during these two days, everyone didn't sleep or rest. However, the passage was still relatively narrow. On the fourth day, the pillar's defense shield began to close. On this day, there were still many people desperately rushing forward. Unfortunately, they didn't have the chance to escape.
As for the Daoist Patriarchs, they were very satisfied. They had saved the people they wanted to protect.
Everyone knew that the people behind had really been abandoned. After Lei Xingfeng, the only person who could activate the restriction, the pillar's restriction would close. Unless the people behind were at least Perfected Lord, they wouldn't be able to pass. And if they went back, where would they find food and water? They would die of hunger and thirst before returning to the starting point. Even if they were cultivators and were stronger than ordinary people, they wouldn't be able to survive without food and water.
According to Lei Xingfeng's estimation, there were at most 70,000 to 80,000 people who came this time. It was impossible for there to be more. In other words, out of the 300,000 people who set off, not even a third of them were left.
Lei Xingfeng's team was already at the front. However, Lei Xingfeng had ordered them to rest for a day. He would rather wait a day and let the Daoist Patriarchs go first. Who knew what dangers they would encounter ahead? With the Daoist Patriarchs leading the way, they could understand more when they arrived.
Every cultivator was rather weak, especially after more than a day of rushing through the passage formed by the defensive shield. By the time they came out, they were already exhausted.
The Daoist Patriarchs only gave their subordinates half a day to rest before forcing them to move forward. Lei Xingfeng's team rested for another half a day.
There were endless traps and dangers. Let alone the Daoist Patriarchs, even the Daoist Patriarchs were extremely frustrated. Just this bridge alone made them feel like dying. Everyone who was still alive cursed this terrifying bridge.
Along the way, the Daoist Patriarchs led the way while the disciples followed behind. This was the most difficult part of the journey. Everyone's food and water were almost depleted. Of course, there were a few smarter and more cautious people who might still have some food and water. Most people were basically out of food. As for water, because everyone had replenished themselves once, they were thirsty. Therefore, when they replenished themselves, they collected more water. To cultivators, water was sometimes more important than food.
But even so, most of the cultivators were in a weakened state. Fortunately, they were just hurrying and not fighting. The cultivators could still barely keep up, but all of them looked abnormally haggard.
Lei Xingfeng's team also began to lose members. Some people couldn't make it and died on the way. Even more people were extremely weak. Lei Xingfeng once again reduced the food allotment. Gao Ye, Thunderstorm, Wu Yang, and Lei Xingfeng's food supplies were probably only slightly more than Lei Xingfeng's. This guy had always followed the highest standards and stuffed in as much as he could. Therefore, he had the most food.
According to Lei Xingfeng's estimation, the remaining food could last for some time. However, he couldn't distribute it according to the current amount. Otherwise, everyone would starve to death. Therefore, reducing the food allotment became necessary. There was no way to know how long the Heavenly Path was. If it was too long, he felt that it would be difficult to make it through.
Everyone also understood that if A Feng hadn't insisted on bringing them along, they would probably have died on the way. Therefore, when they heard Lei Xingfeng say that he would reduce the food allotment again, they could only agree. Lei Xingfeng and the other three Heavenly Monarchs had been extremely benevolent to them. Even their own secret sects might not be able to treat them like this.
Most of the people in Lei Xingfeng's team expressed that they wanted to join Lei Xingfeng's secret sect. Although Lei Xingfeng didn't have his own secret sect organization, these people had all decided to join Lei Xingfeng's faction.
One had to know that many of these people were Perfected Monarchs. Among them were Chui Zi, Little Chui Zi, and that coquettish Bai Yurun. Of course, Bai Yurun couldn't even speak coquettishly now. She and An Ruqing both planned to join Lei Xingfeng's secret sect.
La Zi also had the same plan. His own secret sect was almost completely disbanded, and there weren't many people left. It could no longer be called a secret sect.
