The Dungeon Conquerors: Journey to the Peak

After putting all the bought items in his storage bag Rein continued with his walk through the market. But he was unable to find anything else of interest so he left the market soon afterwards and went to one of the alchemical facilities of the sect.

This place produced pills that were not useful for cultivators but were heavenly to anyone else. Actually even cultivators used these pills to get all the possible benefits before starting their cultivation. Rein had already been given all the good stuff he needed for himself but Lan was obviously not given the same treatment. So Rein was here to buy the best stuff for her.

He was also planning to buy extra if he ever needed more in the future.

There were quite a few types of pills he wanted and some of them were quite expensive too. But as it could be bought using contribution points he was able to afford it without any problem. After getting them he decided to return to the house that he was given.

...

Rein was quite happy with the location of the house. It was situated atop a tall hill and there were no other houses in the vicinity. There was a river and a small forest near the house which gave it a very good environment to plant spiritual herbs which were useful for pill refinement.

There was a plot of land specially built for planting herbs near the river and Rein could use that area to cultivate any spiritual plants he wanted. He was still not very knowledgeable about the herbs so he would think about that herb garden after studying about it for some time.

Upon entering the house he was greeted by three ladies. Two of them were Lan and Himiko whom Rein knew but the third girl was a stranger. Seeing Rein looking at her, that girl with a dignified posture and serious look introduced herself as Nangong Mei, his personal maid assigned from the sect.

Rein had thought that two servants with him would be enough but three was still not a problem. The house was big enough for everyone and Mei was actually quite a powerful person so having her guard the house and Lan was a good deal in Rein's eyes.

After the greetings were over Rein told everyone that he was going to read some books alone and locked himself in a room. It was finally time for him to start his research on the system of this world. His first target was to see if their was any ways to strengthen the cultivation method that he was given.

...

There were a total of five stages in the cultivation method of this world. The person who had just started cultivation would be called a beginner cultivator. They were still not eligible to call themselves true cultivators.

One would be able to reach the first stage in cultivation after reaching the Heavenly Platform realm. In this realm one needed to build a solid spiritual platform using their skill as a base. This act would strengthen that person as a whole and they would become one step superior compared to other people who had still not managed to create their spiritual platform.

After that there was the divine castle realm. This realm was very hard to reach and most of the people who reached the Heavenly Platform realm would not be able to reach this level. In this realm one needed to build a whole castle on the spiritual platform and this realm took most time to cultivate. But at the same time it was also the most important stage in one's cultivation.

Cultivation in the three remaining stages after the Divine Castle realm depended completely on the quality of the divine castle. A divine castle quite divided into four types depending on the quality and potential. A fourth grade divine castle was the worst and a first grade divine castle was the best.

A person with a fourth grade divine castle had a very slim chance of reaching the next stage in cultivation while it would not be very hard for a person whose divine castle was at the third grade. The same way second and the first grade divine castles would allow someone to reach even higher realms of power.

The reason why the Vajra Strengthening Art was seen in such a high regard was because it could allow someone to create a first grade divine castle. So anyone practicing this art would at least be able to reach the Spiritual Awakening realm which was the second highest realm. Reaching the True God realm was also a possibility.

The realm before the spiritual awakening was called the pattern condensation realm.

...

After Rein got all this information, his quests refreshed and quite a few new quests appeared. These new quests were quite rewarding and Rein would not need to go out of his way to complete them. Just cultivating normally would allow him to complete most of the quests.

Rein was happy about this as now he had a proper way to clear this stage without spending a lot of time. Even before he was capable of doing that but with the quests he had available, it would have taken a lot of time. Now he would be able to completely focus on understanding this world's system and to create some techniques that could be used to cultivate with his other skills.

Rein had still not managed to find any example of any person who was able to cultivate with two skills or even have two skills. So he was not sure if it was possible or not but he was going to try this for sure.

...

What Rein was planning to do was not a simple thing that he would be able to do in a short period of time. The power system of this world was already very complex and understanding it enough to become a pioneer in this foreign system was not an easy thing to do.

For that reason Rein did not went anywhere and continued reading various books and doing many experiments for two whole months. Normally the elders would tell him to get to know other disciples but they did nothing like that with Rein as he was able to reach the Heavenly Platform realm in just a little over one month which made all the elders to lose their mind.

It was truly something astonishing as even the most genius person in the history of the sect was unable to cultivate in this pace. So they allowed Rein to do what he wanted. If he did not want to make any connection and wanted to just stay inside his house they were fine with it. If Rein could reach the true god realm then the people would fall on their knees to get to know him.

This was the way how Rein's life started inside the sect.
