Chapter 1426 -1426: Re-entering Azure Rock Forest

Ken Middleton was taken aback before bursting into laughter, saying, “Do you really think I work for the Cloud Sect?”

Ethan Smith replied, “Isn’t the Southern Province now under the control of the Cloud Sect? By helping them eliminate outsiders, aren’t you effectively working for the Cloud Sect?”

Ken Middleton shook his head, saying, “You’re mistaken. No matter whether it’s a war between sects or changes between regions, it’s the cultivators and ordinary people at the bottom who suffer.”

“So, we must try to prevent such great wars.”

Ethan Smith said solemnly, “The Golden Age is now upon us. Chosen ones and heaven’s favorites emerge in great numbers and great wars are inevitable.”

“Then let’s delay that day,” Ken Middleton responded.

Ethan Smith nodded, understanding the good intentions behind Ken Middleton’s words.

As long as Ken Middleton wasn’t working for the Cloud Sect, at least Ethan Smith’s safety wouldn’t be threatened.

As for the future, no one could predict what might happen.

“Little brother, are you planning to go to Azure Rock Forest?” Ken Middleton asked.

Ethan Smith responded with a nod, saying, “I want to find something.”

Without probing further, Ken Middleton patted Ethan Smith’s shoulder, saying, “If you need help, feel free to ask.”

Although he said that, Ethan Smith had never liked asking for help, so he simply replied with a bow, “Thank you, Senior Ken Middleton.”

The group drank their tea and ate some food before setting off on their individual journeys.

The distance to Azure Rock Forest was not far, only about ten star-miles away.

By evening, Ethan Smith had arrived near the Azure Rock Forest.

Just as Justin Vasquez had said, there were more people gathered there than they had expected.

Many young individuals formed one team after another, discussing various matters as they stood nearby.

Some were waiting for others to join them before entering Azure Rock Forest together.

Ethan Smith found a spot to stand and gazed at the forest.

The surroundings were pitch black, and the forest appeared even darker and more mysterious in the evening.

Many rogue cultivators were waiting nearby, recruiting others. When their gaze fell on Ethan Smith, they all shook their heads.

Clearly, even if they needed others to join them, they wanted capable teammates.

As for someone like Ethan Smith, who showed no spiritual power fluctuations, they weren’t welcomed.

The group gathered and hadn’t taken a single step into Azure Rock Forest.

Ethan Smith was confused. He randomly approached one of the rogue cultivators, asking, “What is everyone waiting for? Why haven’t we set off yet?”

Since they were not setting off yet, Ethan Smith simply found a spot to rest for a while.

At that moment, a male cultivator approached him from not far away.

He patted Ethan Smith’s shoulder, saying, “Hey, friend, are you alone?”

Ethan Smith looked at him and nodded, asking, “Yeah, what’s up?”

The cultivator laughed, saying, “It seems that you’re not very strong. Entering Azure Rock Forest alone is very dangerous. Why not join us? We can help each other out.”

Ethan Smith opened his mouth, intending to decline, but then several people walked over.

“Look, this is our team,” the cultivator said.

Ethan Smith looked over and found that the so-called team only had four members. None of them seemed particularly powerful, and their energies were quite ordinary.

“What realm are you all in?” Ethan Smith asked tentatively.

The cultivator replied, “We’re all at the Nascent Soul Realm. I’m the initiator and the strongest person on our team. I’ve already reached the peak form of the Nascent Soul Realm.”

“Peak form of Nascent Soul…” Ethan Smith murmured.

“With your cultivation realm, venturing into Azure Rock Forest is too risky,” Ethan Smith frowned.

The cultivator laughed, saying, “We’re all just trying to make a living. Aren’t you in the same boat?”
