The Dungeon Conquerors: Journey to the Peak

After a few sects used that desert as the practice ground for their disciples, most of the demons and beasts living here were killed. That should have been a good thing if not for the fact that this also destroyed the natural ecology of the location.

With the disappearance of powerful foes the value of this area lessened to the cultivators, so much so that in recent years only a few stray cultivators had come here. But suddenly a lot of cultivators again started coming to this remote place that surprised all the people living here.

They asked the cultivators who came here and it turned out that news about a secret realm being present here had reached the ears of quite a few powerful sects and those sects were now sending their disciples here to find out if that was really true or not.

Seeing this as a great chance, the locals of this area had started various businesses targeting the people coming here. All the cultivators from large sects were quite rich so the locals here were looking forward to making some easy and good money from them.

In one such inn, one day a group of 6 appeared. From the way they were dressed, it was clear that this group was definitely very rich. The owner of the inn immediately respectfully greeted them and asked how he could be of service.

Just as the owner expected, the group had a very powerful financial backing and they booked the best room of this inn. As this whole area was prepared in a haste, most of the inns here were very basic and not very pleasant. But the owner of this inn was a cultivator and he had managed to create a decent inn in a very short period of time. So his business was booming and the rooms here were not cheap.

But the young master leading the team did not even look at the cost of the items and immediately paid for the best room that they had available.

The arrival of this group of people did create some disturbance. There were quite a few people who were familiar with the famous disciples of the super sect Divine Scale Pavillion. So now that a super powerful sect had also started to compete for the secret realm here, it would be extremely difficult for the other weaker sects to get control over that secret realm.

But after thinking about it for some time, the leaders of the other groups decided to not give up on the search and to compete for every opportunity. But they also started to think of methods to get in this group\'s way.

...

Rein did not bother with those people and took out a detailed map of the area. It was Divine Scale Pavillion who had released the news about the secret realm of this area and the intention behind that was to gather some free helpers who would be able to check this area out for dangers. Rein\'s group came to this place without hiding their identity and that was why they were noticed.

But other than them many more disciples of the Divine Scale Pavillion had already come here but were hiding their true identity.

Rein was not planning to meet or cooperate with them here. He was not here as a representative of the sect but as an individual. If any of them were in danger he would try to help them out but that was all. He had his own plans to take care of.

So after resting for a day, Rein and his five partners started their thorough search from the next day onwards. They visited all the places that could be the entrance to the entrance to the secret realm or even the places that were not mentioned in the map.

As this area was a desert, maps were not very reliable here. The topology here was never consistent and changed almost daily. So even Rein and his group were having some trouble navigating here.

Before finding the entrance to the secret realm, Rein managed to find a ruin of an ancient city that was buried under the sand who knew how many years ago. There were a lot of treasures still present in the city and they were quite valuable too. This was definitely a huge discovery but currently this was not something Rein wanted to find.

But still just leaving this place without taking care of it was foolish so Rein and the other ladies did spend quite some time to search this ancient city thoroughly and in getting most of the valuable treasures. This process took two whole days and after that Rein told everyone about the existence of this city.

What the Divine Scale Pavillion had done was just to spread a rumour about the existence of a secret realm but there was no guarantee. But now what Rein had found was a real city which was already there, so it was able to attract many more people. This was also Rein\'s objective. He was really having a hard time searching the whole desert so having more people would definitely be useful.

Just like that in just two months this place completely changed. From being just a remote area with almost no one living here. It turned into a city with many cultivators coming and going very often. This was all fine but Rein was quite bored as no one had still managed to find the entrance to the secret realm.

He started thinking that Dimensional God temple had given up on this recruitment idea and had gotten rid of the secret realm present here. That Longevity guy not knowing that the information he was given was a lie was also a possibility.

Just as Rein was about to lose hope and was planning to find a different way to target the Dimensional God temple, it was Lan who managed to find the entrance. And the way she was able to do that was purely based on luck which surprised even Rein. That could only mean that Lan was an extremely lucky person.

There were some signs of that showing but Lan was always overshadowed by the other more talented ladies. But now it was clear that Lan\'s luck was really special.

Even though they were able to find the entrance, no one had managed to enter it. According to a stone tablet present in front of the entrance, this realm would open after two months and only then the cultivators would be able to face the trials inside.
