The decaying dragon-headed ship sailed on the Wangchuan River. Yang Yan sat on it, feeling no trace of rocking.

The river was too calm!

The entire surface of the water was undisturbed!

If Yang Yan hadn't known it was a river, he would have definitely thought it was a smooth concrete floor!

He waved his palm, casting a stream of demonic qi onto the lake's surface, yet not even a single splash was stirred.

"It was as if water fell on a concrete surface, unable to stir the slightest ripple.

The river water was truly too heavy!

It seems the records in the books were true!"

Since the last time Yang Yan left the Ninth Restricted Area, he had decided to enter it again to make a transaction with the entity in the river.

He instructed the major sects of Dongzhou to collect much information about the Ninth Restricted Area.

Among that was news about this river!

"From Upper Heaven, down to the netherworld!

This river, in the heavens, was the Nine Heavens Ruo Shui River, and in the netherworld, it was the Netherworld River!

In between, it was the Wangchuan River!

The water in it was extremely heavy, that even a cultivator in the King Realm could hardly move it an inch!" Yang Yan thought to himself.

His profound qi's condensing level had already far surpassed the King Realm.

The profound qi condensed by a saint was only equivalent to his own.

Capable of slicing open this river!

But that was just slicing it open a bit, not completely splitting the river.

And the demonic qi he cultivated within using the little evil god was much weaker.

Even when approaching the King Realm, it was hard to move the river's surface at all.

"The entity in the river was suppressed below!

But no book documented what it was that was imprisoned beneath the Wangchuan River.

Only that this river once connected to the Nine Heavens, with a dragon ship able to ride the waves!

Here, even mortals could step upon it and ascend to the Nine Heavens, as long as they paid enough money.

Now..."

Obviously not possible anymore!

Dragon ship!

"The dragon-headed ship below me was likely the dragon ship of the past.

Yet now it has decayed, evidently unused for many years.

And it was held by the entity in the river. Unless you ask for its help, to release this dragon-headed ship,

nothing could float on these waters of Ruishui!" Yang Yan thought.

By right, even a feather falling onto the Ruishui River should sink.

However, this dragon-headed ship not only floated on the river's surface but also advanced upon it, truly extraordinary!

"What if I controlled the dragon-headed ship? Or saw through the dragon-headed ship,

could I then create another dragon-headed ship, and no longer need anyone's help for ascension in the future?"

He ascended to the first heaven, with eight more heavens to go!

"Having a dragon ship would let me utilize this river leading to the Nine Heavens to ascend to any heavenly region among the Nine Heavens at will!" Yang Yan thought and began to act.

He turned back, looking inside the cabin, activating the True Profound Immortal Pupil.

This ship was hollow inside, the interior akin to an ordinary vessel.

Only lacking someone to steer it, lacking someone to control it.

Yang Yan slowly moved his gaze downwards, towards the depths of the dragon-headed ship.

In the center of the dragon-headed ship, within the dragon bone that supported this ship.

He found something wrong!

The dragon bone of this ship seemed somewhat similar to the True Dragon Bone.

It exuded a mysterious aura, which blended into the dragon-headed ship.

It allowed this decaying ship to float and advance on a river so heavy that even a saint could barely find a foothold.

"The dragon bone of this ship was made of something resembling the True Dragon Bone, with countless cracks across it, barely bearing the load.

It might collapse with a few more uses.

If originally, the ship's dragon bone was made from a True Dragon Bone, used extensively, it became like this, then…"

True dragon bones were exceedingly rare in this world, much less an entire dragon bone.

Moreover, using a true dragon bone to cast a ship was overly wasteful!

What was a true dragon bone's value compared to the value of this ship...

"Once I reach the first heaven, I should go check with the Jiao Long Clan.

Perhaps they might have a fragment of true dragon bone for me to cast a ship for the ascend.

However, before going, I still need to be cautious.

I have the divine dragon physique. If they bear malice, they may still betray me,

or even encircle and devour me in the end!"

Yang Yan thought to this point.

"Once at the first heaven, try the first method.

Take the dragon-headed ship and control it.

Then head to the first heaven to see if there is a place that can repair it."

This was the simplest method, far easier than finding another true dragon bone to recast a new ship!

Yang Yan turned his head back, continuing to gaze forward.

Ahead was an endless mist, and also endless, an upside-down river in the sky.

"The first heaven was very far from the human world!"

Breaking through a spatial channel into the human world wasn't far at all.

But to sail from the human world into the heavens, the distance was arguably not short.

After advancing for about four hours, the sky darkened.

Reaching out, he couldn't see his fingers!

Except for the light emitted from Yang Yan's eyes, there was no hint of light.

It seemed like he had entered an endless void, moving forward within it.

Yet there was no danger, the waters remained undisturbed.

Two more days passed, and Yang Yan's heart trembled.

Strange laughter echoed, "Jie, jie, jie," from within him.

The demonic qi in his meridians surged incessantly, more magnificent by threefold compared to the previous moment.

"It broke through. Faster than I anticipated!"

He originally thought it would take at least five days for it to break through to the King Realm, but unexpectedly, it took just three days.

The little evil god's cultivation within the devil seed thus reached the King Realm.

Only three days and nothing more!

The little evil god ascended from a state of having nothing to a cultivation realm he had spent years, even decades, to achieve.

And at this moment, Yang Yan realized the fundamental reason why the existence in the river didn't kill him.

"Fortunately, my physique was strong enough, otherwise, with an ordinary physique bearing the little evil god's breakthrough.

The demonic qi would be so vast, forcibly expanding the meridians,

the physique would sustain damage, forming permanent injury, or even collapse leading to death." Yang Yan realized.

The entity in the river knew its five hundred years of cultivation might, after being absorbed by the little evil god, continuously break through during this period.

If Yang Yan's physique wasn't strong enough, he wouldn't withstand it and would explode and die, allowing the little evil god to arise.

"Did it expect me to die?

Moreover, even if I don't die, it would just make a dress for it!" Yang Yan realized.

The Evil God Demon Scripture mentioned, the stronger the seed body, the stronger the raised little evil god would be.

The entity in the river aimed to raise the strongest evil god using Yang Yan's formidable physique.

In its view, regardless of whether Yang Yan was the genius possessing unrivaled power and an Emperor King's abnormal phenomenon,

by cultivating the Evil God Demon Scripture, he was destined to raise a supreme evil god that would surpass the past and rival a Great Emperor in power in the future for the entity in the river.

"What a pity, the little evil god cultivated through my re-improved Evil God Demon Scripture could only be controlled by me!

The entity in the river, you thought simply!"

The little evil god had just broken through to the King Realm. The five hundred years of cultivation might poured in by the river's existence within him,

wasn't even half consumed, with at least eighty percent untouched.

"It would continue breaking through!"

Yang Yan continued to bury the profound qi he cultivated with the Small Burial Immortal Technique, retaining only the evil qi flowing from the little evil god within his body.

His profound qi was too fierce, too vigorous.

The little evil god's demonic qi didn't dare to touch its sharpness.

Whenever released, it would affect the little evil god's breakthrough.

Thus he buried it down, letting the little evil god autonomously operate the demonic qi to break through.

He wanted to see how far the five hundred years of cultivation might granted by the river's existence could advance the little evil god.

That night, after the little evil god broke through to the King Realm, the speed of merging power quickened, and the speed of breaking through realms also accelerated.

By the time the dawn had broken, the little evil god had already reached the King's Fifth Realm!

The breakthrough speed was unimaginably fast.
