Chapter 2073: Chapter 2073: Dragon Burial Cave Forrest Middleton_1 Chapter 2073: Chapter 2073: Dragon Burial Cave Forrest Middleton_1 This feeling was all too familiar to Ethan Smith; he had felt it the last time he came to the Eastern Land.

Ethan took a deep breath, then murmured quietly, “It's that curse.”

After so long, Ethan thought the curse had disappeared for good. However, upon returning to the Eastern Land, the curse reappeared.

Ethan stayed silent; he had no idea how to lift the curse or what the dreadful gaze from the dark was. He couldn't understand it.

With his current power, Ethan was unable to uncover the secrets, so he simply chose to ignore the gaze from the dark.

Now, there were more and more cities in the Eastern Land, and its desolation had vanished.

The influx of people made the Eastern Land seem less safe than before.

This dilemma made Ethan question whether he should go to the Dragon Burial Cave.

If his guess was right, Forrest Middleton was most likely hiding in the Dragon Burial Cave, with a probability of ninety percent.

It was a place full of danger, enveloped by dark energy, which restricted the spiritual power within the body.

The path Forrest chose led to destruction and rebirth, so it was natural for him to prefer increasingly dangerous places.

After considerable thought, Ethan finally decided to go to the Dragon Burial Cave, regardless of whether he would encounter Forrest. It was a good place to practice.

Following the memories in his mind, Ethan headed towards the Dragon Burial Cave.

Although the Eastern Land was beginning to regain its qi, large areas of wasteland could still be seen. The barrenness around the Dragon Burial Cave remained unchanged.

On his way to the Eastern Land, Ethan saw city after city. Tea houses everywhere were discussing the new “Lord Montoya.”

This title made Ethan frown slightly.

He touched his nose and murmured, “Lord Montoya? Is it Forrest Middleton?”

Ethan wanted to ask, but he was afraid of revealing his whereabouts and hurried to the Dragon Burial Cave.

Finally, after two whole days, Ethan arrived at the Dragon Burial Cave.

The sight of the Dragon Burial Cave had not changed much; it was still gloomy.

This environment was not conducive to cultivation, leaving the area desolate and uninhabited.

Standing here, Ethan couldn't help but squint as he looked at the Dragon Burial Cave that was already floating out.

“Someone has already come here,” Ethan thought to himself.

And that person was most likely Forrest, because Forrest knew a lot about the Dragon Burial Cave.

Looking around, the strange creatures that emerged from the ground last time were nowhere to be found. However, on the surface, there were traces of their bodies.

These traces were like the strange creatures had molted, leaving their dead bodies behind. Upon closer inspection, there were even dried bloodstains on the ground.

Ethan released his divine sense, trying to capture Forrest's whereabouts.

Just then, a hand rested on Ethan's back.

Ethan was startled and quickly turned around, only to see Forrest standing behind him.

Forrest still had his tall and straight figure, like a strong pine tree. His white robe and flowing hair distinguished him from Ken Middleton's appearance.

What Ethan found strange were the bloodstains all over Forrest's body, as if he had been injured.

“You're really here.” Ethan smiled.

Forrest didn't respond to that remark, and casually said, “I knew you'd come here.”

Ethan gave a bitter smile and said, “I have no choice but to seek refuge here.”

“Seeking refuge? From the Wilson family?” Forrest asked casually.

Forrest, who was in seclusion in the Eastern Land, had no knowledge of the events in the outside world.

Ethan waved his hand, not answering the question. He looked at Forrest's wounds and said with surprise, “Your injuries…”

Forrest didn't reply; he simply looked at the traces on the ground with his eyes.

Ethan exclaimed in surprise, “You encountered those creatures?”

“Yes,” Forrest nodded, “I killed them all and used them to comprehend the dao.”

“You killed them all?!” Ethan was utterly shocked!

If he remembered correctly, those strange, bug-like creatures were extremely hard and could regenerate at any time!

Last time, Ethan had nearly perished because of them. And now, Forrest had killed them all?!

“As I suspected, those creatures are dao insects,” said Forrest.

“Dao insects?” Ethan became even more puzzled.

“Insects transformed by the dao technique. They seem dangerous but actually conceal great truths. In other words, the rebirth of the Eastern Land is inseparable from these dao insects,” Forrest explained.

Ethan was slightly startled, seeming to understand Forrest's meaning.

“So… The dao technique of the Eastern Land has a high probability of being hidden within these dao insects? And you comprehended the technique of heaven and earth from them? To improve your dao?” Ethan asked with an astonished expression.

Forrest nodded slightly, apparently agreeing with Ethan's statement.

Eager to learn more, Ethan sent out a strand of his divine sense, trying to probe the current realm of Forrest's cultivation.

Unfortunately, Forrest's body was like being wrapped in a fog, making it impossible to probe.

“The dao insects are all dead, and the Eastern Land is regaining its qi and dao technique,” Ethan murmured softly.

“In the entire Holy Region, you're probably the only one who's noticed the Eastern Land.”

Forrest didn't answer this question. He found a place to sit down with his legs crossed, eyes closed, and sensed the dao technique that the Eastern Land had once lost.

Seeing this, Ethan couldn't help but sigh silently.

Forrest was undoubtedly a rare genius to appear in millenia; no wonder even figures like Dean Garner would make exceptions for him.

Ethan seated himself like Forrest and began to cultivate. With enough time, Ethan could break through to the Late Returning Void Stage any moment.

The extent of Ethan's cultivation after reaching that stage, with the help of Traceless Immortal Scripture, would be terrifying and unknown.

And so, the two of them sat, legs crossed, for three whole days.

After three days, Forrest opened his eyes.

His brows furrowed slightly, as if he had encountered some confusion.

“By the way, I met Ken not too long ago,” Ethan suddenly said.

Forrest looked up at Ethan and asked indifferently, “Where is he now?”

“The Central Province,” Ethan replied.

He opened his mouth, intending to tell Forrest about Ken's condition, but after much deliberation, he eventually decided against it.

“With his personality, he'll face disaster sooner or later,” Forrest muttered.

Upon hearing this, Ethan couldn't help but ask, “Why don't you try to stop him?”

“That's his path, and everyone has their own choices that are worthy of respect. I have no right to change anyone,” Forrest answered simply yet profoundly.
