Curiosity Kills

2/27/2026

At this moment, Evan Yang had already lured them away, leaving behind a clone to lead them on while his true body went somewhere else—a place he'd wanted to visit for a long time, which he'd found by searching Miles Chu's memories. And Miles Chu's immediate superior was right there.

As for Senior Shi and the others, they had no idea. At this moment, Senior Shi was asking Eric Song, "Any new updates?"

"I heard Evan Yang split off lots of clones. In the end, the Jiaolong and that person from Nether Sky Realm kept chasing him, but it looks like they still haven't caught him," Eric Song replied.

Senior Shi raised his brows and said, "That kid really is something—able to escape from two top experts like that."

"Isn't that even better? It means he'll be a terrifying force in the future. The scarier he is, the more we like him," Eric Song said with a laugh.

Senior Shi nodded, "That's right, you're absolutely correct."

"By the way, Miles Chu just called me over. He said we should be on guard against that kid—he can read people's thoughts," Eric Song told Senior Shi.

"Mm, I know about that already. Don't worry. If he wants to read us, let's see if he even has the ability to find us. Don't forget, we're inside the grand barrier we created ourselves. Unless someone has extraordinary abilities, no outsider can get in," Senior Shi replied.

Eric Song said, "That's true."

"Alright, that's enough about that. Keep sending people to monitor their movements," Senior Shi instructed. Eric Song nodded, "Yes, sir."

In Senior Shi's eyes, there was no way Evan Yang could ever find this place. But Evan had come here precisely by following Miles Chu's memories, arriving outside the barrier. Seeing the barrier before him, he couldn't help but be impressed—the person who built it had used the powers of several realms to create a grand barrier. That was extremely difficult; getting inside was definitely not something ordinary people could do.

"Barrier, barrier... how do I break it?" Evan Yang muttered to himself.

Evan had seen many barriers before, and maybe this was the toughest one yet, but he still stayed to study it. He spread out countless strands of Divine Sense to analyze the barrier's patterns.

Time passed bit by bit. The grand barrier made by linking several realms was enormous, and Evan needed time to study it piece by piece.

Outside, Jiaolong was still chasing Evan Yang and was nearly driven mad with rage. He cursed, "Damn it, this is infuriating!"

Since his debut, he'd never been run around in circles by an Immortal Sovereign like this. He really wanted to catch Evan Yang and crush him to death.

He had no idea that Evan's true body was actually studying a barrier outside somewhere.

One day, one month, then a year went by—Evan was still studying, and he'd only analyzed a third of it. But after that, things went much more smoothly. After two years, Evan finally figured it out.

He gathered up the so-called patterns, found the weak point in the barrier, and at a certain spot, used the power of the Limitless Spear to stab through with a single thrust. A small tunnel appeared, and Evan slipped inside.

Once inside, Evan's whole body decomposed and vanished—this was exactly what he'd learned at Heavenly Dao Academy in the Heavenly Dao Realm.

But there was a time limit—he could only appear briefly, relying on his own invisibility skills. Once he stabilized, he continued decomposing himself, doing his best to make sure no one noticed his presence.

At this moment, Senior Shi was on a planet inside one of the realms, and Eric Song was the guard stationed there. But after so many years of guarding, not a single person had ever come by—this place was extremely quiet, so he didn't pay much attention.

But something unexpected happened. In a dark corner, Evan Yang stared at Eric Song. He knew this person too—he'd found him through Miles Chu's memories. Eric Song was the personal bodyguard of the superior.

Evan knew that if he acted rashly, he might expose himself. He had to find Senior Shi, and there was only one way to do it. He took out a small bottle, grinned, and tossed it through the air. It flashed like a bright spot as it flew. Eric Song saw it, flashed over, grabbed the bottle, and muttered after landing, "How did a bottle suddenly appear in midair?"

Curious, he opened the bottle, sniffed it, and muttered, "Seriously? It's nothing—what a rip-off."

He was about to throw it away, but after thinking it over, he decided to take it inside and let Senior Shi have a look.

When Senior Shi saw him bring in a strange bottle, he asked curiously, "What's this?"

"No idea—it just suddenly flew out of nowhere," Eric Song replied.

"Oh? Let me see," Senior Shi said, taking the bottle and opening the cap. He sniffed it and muttered, "Strange—it's nothing at all."

"That's really odd," Eric Song muttered.
