I only reached the Foundation Establishment stage at eighty years old, and then the system appeared.

Time flies, and another five years have passed. In these five years, Yang Hongbo has not only increased his system points by two to three trillion, but he has also cultivated his cultivation to the peak of the Tribulation Transcending stage.

Having reached the peak of the Tribulation Transcending stage, Yang Hongbo didn't understand why ascension was so difficult for others at the peak. In his mind, ascension was as easy as drinking water or eating. He always felt a voice in his mind constantly urging him, "Ascend! Ascend! Ascend quickly!"

Then, one day, a misty, ethereal atmosphere suddenly filled the sky above the Bo Bai Immortal Sect, and a golden light slowly opened like a giant gate in the high sky. A group of fairies flew out from within, scattering petals from the flower baskets they carried. The petals landed on the disciples of the Bo Bai Immortal Sect, like drinking a mouthful of cool nectar on a sweltering summer day, bringing comfort and relaxation to their bodies and minds.

At this moment, a figure suddenly flew out from the Bobai Immortal Sect, heading straight towards the wide-open Immortal Gate. A golden light also shone from the Immortal Gate, illuminating the figure. At this moment, the people in the Bobai Immortal Sect realized that after hundreds of thousands of years, someone from the sect had once again ascended to immortality, and a name appeared in everyone's mind.

Yang Hongbo—this is a disciple who has only been a member of the sect for a little over ten years.

Yang Hongbo only understood why no one had become an immortal in the Human Emperor Continent for hundreds of thousands of years after ascending to the Immortal Realm: it was because the Human Emperor Continent had lost its guide. Originally, there was a guide at the passage from the Human Emperor Continent to the Immortal Realm, but the beings on the Human Emperor Continent were too incompetent; only one person, Dongfang Bubai, had successfully ascended to the Immortal Realm in millions of years.

Although the guide stationed here is replaced every million years, everyone in the Immortal Realm knows that no one has successfully ascended here for millions of years. When Dongfang Bubai ascended to the Immortal Realm, the guide stationed here left as soon as his term expired, and no one was willing to take on a new guide, so this place became an abandoned passage.

The role of the guide is to use celestial power to protect the ascendant when someone ascends to immortality, ensuring their successful passage through the passage.

After Dongfang Bubai ascended to the Immortal Realm, he continuously sent immortal pills and treasures down to the Bobai Immortal Sect. This caused many people to undergo tribulations and ascend to the Immortal Realm over the past hundreds of thousands of years. However, without a guide, even if they successfully underwent the tribulation, they could not pass through the passage to the Immortal Realm. Therefore, those who successfully underwent the tribulation ultimately failed.

But Dongfang Bubai was unaware of this situation. He found it strange in the Upper Realm as well. "I've sent so many things down to the Lower Realm, are all the people here useless? Not a single one has successfully ascended?"

The reason Yang Hongbo was able to ascend successfully was that his elemental avatar had already become an immortal. When he passed through the passage, the immortal power that was released protected his body, allowing him to pass through the passage successfully!

When Yang Hongbo stepped into the Immortal Realm, the immortal energy there surged into his body. Soon, he reached the lowest level of the Human Immortal Realm after becoming an immortal, and even reached the peak of the Human Immortal Realm. Meanwhile, the elemental avatar in the secret space within his body also absorbed the immortal energy of the Immortal Realm and rose to the peak of the Earth Immortal Realm.

The secret realm and minor world within Yang Hongbo's body also underwent significant changes due to the infusion of immortal power from the Immortal Realm, much like Yang Hongbo's divine pet, the Heavenly Wolf. It had been cultivating within the secret realm, but now, having suddenly absorbed a large amount of immortal energy, its cultivation level was rapidly increasing; it was now a mid-stage Human Immortal Realm divine beast.

Meanwhile, the human race in the minor world is also rapidly improving their cultivation level under the infusion of immortal energy. Many of them have already reached the Tribulation Transcending stage. They are all lucky. As long as they can pass the immortal lightning tribulation, they can directly become immortals, because they are already in the immortal realm.

Standing on the land of the immortal realm, Yang Hongbo felt the rich immortal energy around him, and a surge of heroic ambition welled up in his heart. He turned around and saw several stunningly beautiful women smiling at him; they were his wives.

"My husband, you have succeeded!" said Madam Li Xiaolan excitedly, her eyes glistening with tears, but a relieved smile on her lips.

Yang Hongbo smiled and nodded, saying, "Lan'er, you are all doing well too. You have all advanced to the Tribulation Transcending stage. Congratulations!"

Second Madam Li also stepped forward, took Yang Hongbo's arm, and said sweetly, "Husband, we owe everything we have achieved today to you. Without your constant and meticulous guidance, how could we have progressed so quickly?"

Yang Hongbo gently patted Li Xiaolian's hand and said softly, "Lian'er, you are both exceptionally talented. I only provided some guidance. Your achievements today are the result of your own hard work."

Third wife Liu Xiaoling also said with a smile, "Husband, you are always so modest. However, we all really hope to be like you, to pass through the ascension tribulation and become a true immortal."

Upon hearing this, a determined look flashed in Yang Hongbo's eyes. He said, "Ling'er, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to help you successfully overcome the tribulation. Now, let's go and explore this ascension passage."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. The group then began to explore the area around the ascension passage.

The once magnificent celestial palace was now dilapidated and devoid of any celestial aura. Its gates were wide open, and the surrounding area was covered in dust and cobwebs, clearly indicating it had been abandoned for a long time.

Yang Hongbo frowned and said, "How did this ascension passage become like this? It seems we need to find a way to repair it."

Li Xiaolan frowned and said, "Husband, this ascension passage has been abandoned for so long. It will probably not be an easy task to repair it."

Yang Hongbo nodded and said, "That's true. However, we can't give up. After all, this ascension passage is the only way for our Human Emperor Continent to reach the Immortal Realm. If it remains abandoned, the beings of our Human Emperor Continent will never be able to ascend to the Immortal Realm."

Li Xiaolian chimed in, "My husband is right. We cannot abandon this ascension passage. However, we currently know nothing about the situation in the Immortal Realm. If we want to repair it, we'll probably need to learn about it first."

Upon hearing this, a glint of wisdom flashed in Yang Hongbo's eyes. He said, "Lian'er is right. We do indeed know nothing about the situation in the Immortal Realm right now. However, we can first search the vicinity and see if anyone here knows anything about the Lower Realm Human Emperor Continent."

Upon hearing this, everyone agreed. So, the group flew off in one direction.

When they flew millions of miles and arrived at a giant city, they found that there were no ordinary people left; the weakest were all Nascent Soul stage cultivators. Upon seeing Yang Hongbo and his group arrive, they all showed reverence and stepped forward to pay their respects.

Yang Hongbo smiled and nodded in response, then asked, "Do you have anyone here who knows anything about the Immortal Realm?"

A Saint Emperor at the Void Realm stepped forward and respectfully said, "Replying to your question, Senior, we do indeed have several Half-Immortals here who once traveled the Immortal Realm. However, they are currently in seclusion for cultivation. I wonder if Senior would like to see them?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Hongbo's eyes flashed with delight, and he said, "Of course I want to see them. Please take me to see them quickly."

So, the Holy Emperor led Yang Hongbo and the others to a secluded valley. There were several simple thatched huts in the valley, clearly the secluded retreat of those demigods.

The holy emperor stepped forward and knocked on the door of one of the thatched huts, saying respectfully, "Senior, we have a guest visiting."

A moment later, the door of the thatched hut slowly opened, and an elderly man with white hair stepped out. Upon seeing Yang Hongbo and the others, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he asked, "Who are you? What brings you to this old man?"

Yang Hongbo stepped forward and said to him, "Senior, we are beings from the Human Emperor Continent. We have just ascended to the Immortal Realm and know nothing about it. We heard that you have traveled to the Immortal Realm before, so we have come to ask for your guidance."

Upon hearing this, the old man's eyes flashed with a look of sudden realization, and then he nodded and said, "I see. Please come in, I have something to tell you."

So Yang Hongbo and the others followed the old man into the thatched hut. The hut was simply furnished, with only a stone table and a few stone benches.

After gesturing for everyone to sit down, the old man slowly began to speak: "I did indeed travel to the Immortal Realm. However, that was a long time ago. The situation in the Immortal Realm has probably changed considerably since then."

Upon hearing this, Yang Hongbo's heart tightened, and he quickly asked, "Senior, what changes have occurred in the Immortal Realm? Is there any possibility that the ascension passage to our Human Emperor Continent can be repaired?"

"Look around and you'll see why. Although the immortal energy here is richer than in the lower realm, it can only meet the requirements of the lowest level of human immortals. Therefore, anyone who advances to become an immortal will migrate to a place with richer immortal energy."

"To repair the ascension passage, at least an immortal must be stationed here. However, the immortal energy here is insufficient for immortals to cultivate and advance. Therefore, the most important point about the ascension passage is that an immortal must be stationed here."

Upon hearing this, Yang Hongbo remained silent for a moment before resolutely saying, "Senior, we cannot give up like this. The beings of our Human Emperor Continent also have the right to ascend to the Immortal Realm. We must find a way to repair the ascension passage so that the beings of our Human Emperor Continent can also freely ascend to the Immortal Realm like beings from other continents!"
