The Devil Beasts living inside and the Spiritual Objects growing there attracted the greedy humans. Although they couldn't stay for long, with the help of Pills, Spells, and other external forces, they were able to extend the time cultivators could linger significantly.
So, a large number of cultivators began invading the Undying Volcano!
At first, it was quite easy for the cultivators to obtain Spiritual Objects, and it was relatively safe, but as time went on, both the number of Devil Beasts and the abundance of Spiritual Objects at the Undying Volcano dwindled and became more dangerous.
As a result, various exploration squads emerged. After all, if one person can't do it, surely a group can, right? It's just that the group could be a mixed bag—whether you get conned or find a gem depends on your own judgment.
