Before doing anything else, defeat the enemies who are blocking the path. They are not very strong, so you can use any characters you like to quickly defeat them.

Indwell the previously digging Tepetlisaurus, and walk over to the entrance of the blocked path. You will notice a Phlogiston Chiselith buried in the ground. Use the Tepetlisaurus' normal attack to dig it up. Once it is at ground level, go near it and infuse it with Phlogiston by clicking on the "Infuse with Phlogiston" button.

Step 3: Enter the hidden path and get to the bottom-most level

Once you have infused the chiselith with Phlogiston, the blocked door to the cave will open. Head inside, and there will be many levels of rock floors that you have to shatter using the Tepetlisaurus' normal attack. After you have broken four levels, you will reach the bottom, and be automatically teleported to a different area.

Step 4: Follow the Monetoo

Once in the new area, you will immediately see a Monetoo in front of you. Walk up to the Monetoo, and infuse it with Phlogiston, after which it will start moving. Follow the Monetoo till you reach the half-finished graffiti wall. A quick comment from Paimon will ensue, where she talks about the incomplete graffiti.

Step 5: Go further into the cave and defeat the Hydro slimes

From here, follow the path and go further inside the save till you come across three Monetoo trapped by a group of Hydro slimes. Defeat the slimes, walk up to the Monetoo, and choose the "It's safe now!" option. All three Monetoo will start heading back to the graffiti on the wall.

Step 6: Enter the molten fissure created by the Monetoo

One of the Monetoo that you just freed will form a Molten Fissure in the rock wall. Indwell a Tepetlisaurus using the Spiritsconce and enter the fissure. You will be taken to an area with the Monetoo that created the fissure waiting for you.
