In the last five hundred words of the previous chapter, there were some small problems with the heavenly pit setting. It was because of this that the writer had gotten stuck yesterday. No matter how he wrote, there were obvious loopholes, and he did not dare to rashly write.
Thus, after thinking for an entire night, he made some slight changes to the heavenly pit setting. This made it much smoother, and everyone can flip to the previous chapter when they read today's chapter.

"Wait a moment. If we pass through the heavenly pit now, we will definitely attract the bloodthirsty attacks of the undying creatures in the heavenly pit. We only need to wait for an hour, and we will be fine!" Xiao Fan withdrew his gloomy gaze from the heavenly pit, then looked at all the Ironwood Sect members and said calmly.
"Hm?" When they heard Xiao Fan's sudden words, everyone from the Iron Wood Sect was instantly stunned. They stopped walking back to the Divine Boat and turned their heads. There was some astonishment in their eyes.
"Young Master, do you have any basis for your words?" The few withered old men also stopped in their tracks, then looked at Xiao Fan. One of them spoke in a serious tone.
"The undying creatures in the heavenly pit are called Underworld Corrosive Ghosts. They can pass through the heavenly pit normally without any problems because metal transportation tools can block their senses and prevent them from discovering you!" Xiao Fan said. "As for the fact that you will be discovered two or three days before a full moon, that is because they will mate two or three days before a full moon!"
"During mating, the Corrosive Ghosts will be extremely excited, causing them to be ten times more sensitive to the aura of living beings than usual!"
"Thus, if you pass through the heavenly pit two or three days before a full moon, no matter how well you hide, you will be discovered almost 100% of the time."
"As for now, the Underworld Corrosive Ghost Queen in the heavenly pit is giving birth once in a thousand years. All the Underworld Corrosive Ghosts' senses are ten times more sensitive than usual. It is better than any other time!"
"If you pass through now, all the Underworld Corrosive Ghosts will come out in full force, then they will attack and kill you. None of you will survive!"
Hearing Xiao Fan's words, all the Ironwood Sect members, including the few withered old men with the highest positions, fell silent. Then, they looked at each other, speechless.
They had never heard of the secret of the Heavenly Pit that Xiao Fan spoke of before. Now that they suddenly heard of it, their hearts were really shocked.
"However, the Underworld Corroding Ghost Queen does not give birth for a long time. It only lasts for an hour, and it has only just begun. Once the hour has passed and the Underworld Corroding Ghost Queen's birth is over, their senses will instantly drop. At that time, we will be able to safely pass through!" Xiao Fan explained.
"Also, you don't have to find a few people to test it out now!" Before Xiao Fan could finish, he paused for a moment before adding, "Because the Underworld Rotting Ghosts are extremely cunning. If you only send a few people to test the waters, they won't attack at all. They'll wait until you think it's safe before they attack and devour all of you!"
"Therefore, we only need to wait for an hour before passing through the sinkhole. Even if the Underworld Rotting Ghosts want to kill us, they will become 'blind' and will not be able to find us. In the end, they can only give up and allow us to safely pass through the sinkhole!"
The surroundings were completely silent!
Everyone from the Ironwood Sect stared at Xiao Fan in bewilderment. No one spoke.
After a few breaths of time, the air suddenly froze!
"Hahaha!"
Some of the young geniuses from the Ironwood Sect burst into laughter, breaking the stillness in the air. They were laughing so hard that they were swaying back and forth. Their laughter was filled with mockery and ridicule towards Xiao Fan.
"You speak as if it's true. I almost believed you!" One of the geniuses from the Ironwood Sect laughed loudly.
"You're quite eloquent. If you change your profession to storytelling, you will definitely become a storyteller that many restaurants would invite!" Another genius from the Ironwood Sect laughed as well.
"It's common knowledge that we can safely pass through the sinkhole two or three days before the full moon. Furthermore, no one has encountered any problems in countless years. Yet, you say that we will definitely die if we pass through the sinkhole now. What nonsense!" One of the geniuses from the Ironwood Sect, who was on the same Divine Boat as Xiao Fan, spoke with a cold gaze.
"Ignore this person. We will pass through the sinkhole as usual!" The few female geniuses from the Ironwood Sect, who initially had a good impression of Xiao Fan but had a drastic change of attitude towards Xiao Fan because of Xingqing's matter, also spoke out at this moment. They frowned and spoke in a cold voice.
However!
"Young Master, are you serious?" The few withered old men from the Ironwood Sect opened their mouths. They looked deeply at Xiao Fan before one of them spoke in a serious tone.
"Of course!" Xiao Fan ignored the mocking words of the young geniuses from the Ironwood Sect. He calmly looked at the few elders from the Ironwood Sect and nodded as he replied.
The few elders from the Ironwood Sect did not speak anymore. However, they did not immediately accept Xiao Fan's suggestion and decided to stay here for an hour before leaving.
Instead, they stood there with furrowed brows. The few of them lowered their heads and discussed, asking for each other's opinions. They were pondering over how trustworthy Xiao Fan's words were!
Although Xiao Fan's words were beyond common sense and could be said to be completely unheard of, they still treated Xiao Fan's words seriously for the sake of safety. They were not like the other prodigies of the Ironwood Sect who completely ignored Xiao Fan's words and did not pay any attention to them.
At this moment, seeing that the elders from the Ironwood Sect seemed to believe Xiao Fan's words, the young man, who was also the Holy Son of the Ironwood Sect, frowned slightly. A cold look flashed across his face as he spoke.
"Elders, we can't waste any more time. We must leave immediately. Otherwise, our Ironwood Sect might not be able to make it to the Millennium Stele and the Dragon Tiger Arena!" The young man glanced indifferently at Xiao Fan, and then he interrupted the discussion of the few old men and said bluntly, "As for what this person said, in my opinion, there are only a few words. A bunch of nonsense and ridiculous!"
The young man's real name was Tie Chen, and he was the Holy Son of the Ironwood Sect. His words naturally carried a lot of weight. Thus, all the geniuses from the Ironwood Sect immediately fell silent and looked at him.
The elders from the Ironwood Sect also temporarily stopped their discussion and looked at him.
"As long as it's not the night of the full moon, it's safe to pass through the heavenly pit. This is something that everyone knows. It's also something that has been verified countless times. There's absolutely no mistake about it!" Tie Chen said indifferently, "However, this unknown person in front of us said something that we've never heard of before. He claimed that this was all the secrets of the heavenly pit and wanted to stop us from passing through it. How can we believe such words?"
"I even suspect that someone deliberately sent him here to stop our Ironwood Sect so that we won't be able to reach the Heavenly Clouds Mansion in time and miss the great opportunities of the Millennium Stele and the Dragon Tiger Arena!"
"Elders, please think twice before you act. Don't be deceived by others!"
"Tie Chen's words are reasonable. In my opinion, we'd better act as usual and get on the road as soon as possible!" An elder from the Ironwood Sect, who was obviously more partial to Tie Chen, immediately nodded and said after hearing Tie Chen's words.
However, the other elders from the Ironwood Sect did not immediately agree. Instead, they stood there and pondered over the words of Xiao Fan and Tie Chen.
"Elders, please listen to me again!" Seeing that the elders were still unable to make a decision, Tie Chen raised his eyebrows and immediately cupped his hands towards the elders. Then he said, "The changes of the Millennium Stele and the Dragon Tiger Arena this time are unprecedented, and no one from the Dark Realm or the Eastern Realm is involved!"
"So, it's obvious that the sects of the Spiritual Realm will benefit greatly from this. Once we obtain it, it will change the fate of our sects!"
"And because of the great benefits, the other sects will do anything to reduce the number of competitors and give their sects a chance to obtain greater opportunities!"
"The person who wants to stop our Ironwood Sect from reaching the Heavenly Clouds Mansion in time is very clever. He just sent a person and casually made up a sentence, and it's enough to make us panic and not dare to take another step forward!"
"So, I can say that if we listen to the words of this unknown person, we will most likely fall into a trap. By the time we reach the Heavenly Clouds Mansion, everything will be too late!"
Tie Chen's voice was sonorous and powerful, and it was unusually clear in the ears of all the Ironwood Sect members present.
Hearing Tie Chen's words, the expressions of all the people from the Ironwood Sect, including the elders, changed slightly.
Tie Chen's words were very reasonable. Not only were they reasonable, but they were also from the perspective of the Millennium Stele and the Dragon Tiger Arena. They immediately hit the chord in the hearts of all the Ironwood Sect members!
Therefore, at this moment, almost all the Ironwood Sect disciples stood firmly behind Tie Chen. They all agreed with Tie Chen's opinion and strongly suggested that they immediately pass through the sinkhole and reach the Heavenly Clouds Mansion.
"Elders, the Holy Son is right. We should hurry up and pass through the sinkhole to reach the Heavenly Clouds Mansion. We can't believe the words of others and fall into the evil people's trap!" One of the Ironwood Sect's sky-pride glanced at Xiao Fan and stood out. Then, he spoke to the few old men.
"Yes, elders, please give the order to set off. We can't continue to waste time like this!" Another Ironwood Sect heaven's pride also stood out and said.
"I think we should expel this unknown person. Otherwise, he will cause trouble sooner or later!" An Ironwood Sect heaven's pride said very directly with an unconcealable coldness on his face.
"No, I think we should capture him and interrogate him!" An Ironwood Sect heaven's pride with a more violent temper said coldly.
