They reject all outsiders and lure monsters into attacking intruders. If I were alone, I could descend another seven or eight hundred thousand meters, but I wouldn't be able to protect you if we continued. That's why I said we were nearing the limit."

In fact, without a powerful escort, cultivators of different strengths had different limits to how far they could descend into the Ancient Demon Pit.
Taking zombies as an example, an iron zombie jumping into the Demon Pit could descend no farther than ten thousand meters. If he insisted on going farther, the monsters surrounding the cliffs would soon kill him.
