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

It is said that people are in high spirits when they are happy. I can hold Yao'er's little hand, hug her waist, or kiss her when she is not paying attention.

Yang Huizhou felt that life was wonderful. Looking at Su Yao's blushing face, he thought, "It's so good to have a woman!"

That day, Yang Huizhou suddenly had a premonition and immediately announced that he would go into seclusion to break through to a higher level.

When Yang Huizhou announced his intention to go into seclusion to break through to the next level, Su Yao's eyes were filled with worry and concern. She gently tugged at Yang Huizhou's sleeve and said, "Huizhou, this breakthrough is extremely dangerous. You must be careful."

Yang Huizhou looked at Su Yao gently, a reassuring smile playing on his lips, and said, "Don't worry, Yao'er. Since I dared to choose this time to break through, I have full confidence. Just wait for me to emerge from seclusion."

Master Tianlang stepped forward, patted Yang Huizhou on the shoulder, and said, "Huizhou, you can focus on your breakthrough. I will protect you. However, the tribulation lightning will be fierce during this breakthrough, so you must give it your all."

Yang Huizhou nodded solemnly and said, "Master, rest assured, I understand." After saying that, he found a secluded place with abundant spiritual energy and began to cultivate in seclusion to break through his cultivation barrier.

Su Yao stood at a distance, her gaze fixed on where Yang Huizhou was in seclusion, silently praying, "I hope Huizhou can break through smoothly and safely."

Time passed slowly, and on the third day after Yang Huizhou went into seclusion, a sudden change occurred in the world. The once clear sky instantly became covered with dark clouds, and a strong wind blew, as if a mysterious and powerful force was stirring up the heavens and earth.

Su Yao was startled and quickly looked at Master Tianlang, anxiously asking, "Master, what happened? Could it be that Huizhou's breakthrough triggered some kind of change?"

Master Tianlang's expression was solemn, his gaze fixed on the sky. He said, "This is probably a sign of the impending tribulation. Huizhou's breakthrough this time has caused such a great disturbance, the tribulation it has attracted must be extraordinary. We must be prepared and do everything in our power to protect him."

As soon as he finished speaking, a massive lightning tribulation formation appeared in the sky, radiating a terrifying aura that seemed poised to devour the entire world. Endless lightning, like a raging dragon, poured down from the formation, carrying world-destroying power as it hurtled towards Yang Huizhou's secluded cultivation location.

Just as the lightning was about to strike the secluded cultivation spot, a dazzling light burst forth from it, forming a powerful shield that blocked the lightning.

Master Sirius breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It seems Huizhou has sensed something and has begun to defend himself. Let's redouble our efforts and buy him more time."

But the tribulation lightning seemed to sense Yang Huizhou's resistance and became even more frenzied. Countless bolts of lightning intertwined, forming a massive vortex that swept towards the secluded cultivation location. The terrifying power caused the entire world to tremble.

Master Tianlang and the five Immortal Emperor realm seniors were forced to retreat steadily by the fierce lightning tribulation. Their faces turned extremely pale, and some wounds appeared on their bodies.

A senior Immortal Emperor said helplessly, "This tribulation lightning is too powerful. We can't get close at all. We can only retreat thousands of miles to avoid being affected by it."

Master Tianlang hesitated for a moment, but seeing the increasingly fierce lightning tribulation, he finally nodded and said, "Alright, let's retreat several thousand miles first, and wait for the lightning tribulation to weaken a bit before we think of a way to help Huizhou."

Therefore, Master Tianlang and the five Immortal Emperor Realm seniors quickly retreated thousands of miles away to observe the situation at Yang Huizhou's secluded cultivation location from afar.

Meanwhile, in his secluded cultivation, Yang Huizhou was completely absorbed in his breakthrough. He sensed the terrifying power of the tribulation lightning outside, but felt no fear whatsoever. He circulated his immortal techniques, concentrating his immortal power to its limit, preparing to meet this final challenge.

Bolts of lightning relentlessly struck his shield, each impact causing it to tremble violently. But Yang Huizhou gritted his teeth, steadfastly upholding his inner conviction, continuously absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy to replenish his immortal power.

As time passed, the power of the tribulation lightning seemed to reach its peak and then began to gradually weaken. Yang Huizhou knew that this was the final crucial moment, and he had to seize this opportunity to break through to the Immortal Emperor Realm in one fell swoop.

He roared, releasing all the immortal power within him to fight a final battle against the remaining tribulation lightning. With his efforts, the tribulation lightning gradually dissipated, and the dark clouds in the sky began to slowly disperse.

A dazzling light shot into the sky from where Yang Huizhou was in seclusion, piercing the clouds. Immediately afterward, a powerful aura emanated from the secluded cultivation location, permeating the entire world.

Master Tianlang and the five Immortal Emperor realm seniors sensed this aura, their faces showing surprise and delight. One of the Immortal Emperor realm seniors excitedly said, "This is the aura of a successful breakthrough! Huizhou succeeded!"

Master Sirius smiled with satisfaction and said, "Good, you are indeed my disciple. Let's hurry back and take a look."

When they returned to Yang Huizhou's secluded cultivation spot, they saw Yang Huizhou standing there, radiating a powerful aura of the Immortal Emperor realm. His eyes were even more profound, and his temperament was even more extraordinary.

Su Yao was the first to rush forward, her eyes filled with joy and excitement, saying, "Huizhou, you finally broke through! That's wonderful!"

Yang Huizhou smiled at Su Yao, gently took her hand, and said, "Yao'er, I'm sorry to have worried you. I succeeded, and I am now a Celestial Emperor Realm expert."

Master Tianlang stepped forward, patted Yang Huizhou on the shoulder, and said, "Huizhou, you did very well. Although this breakthrough was dangerous, it also greatly improved you."

Yang Huizhou said respectfully, "Master, this is all thanks to your and the other seniors' protection. If it weren't for you buying me time, I wouldn't have been able to break through smoothly."

A senior Immortal Emperor realm expert smiled and said, "Huizhou, you don't need to be so polite. This is all due to your own hard work and talent. Now that you have broken through to the Immortal Emperor realm, your future is limitless."

Yang Huizhou said, "You flatter me, seniors. I, Yang Huizhou, will certainly live up to your expectations and will dedicate my strength to protecting this land in the future."

At this moment, the Su family patriarch also rushed over. He was overjoyed to see Yang Huizhou's successful breakthrough and said, "Young Master Yang, congratulations on breaking through to the Immortal Emperor Realm. Your strength has greatly increased, and our Su family is now even more confident."

Yang Huizhou said, "Ancestor Su, rest assured, now that I have become Su Yao's Daoist partner, I will protect the Su family. If any remnants of the Feng family dare to cause trouble in the future, I will not let them off easily."

The Su family patriarch nodded in satisfaction and said, "With Young Master Yang's words, I am relieved. Now that you have successfully broken through, why don't we celebrate properly?"

Yang Huizhou said, "Alright, let's celebrate then. But after the celebration, I still have some things to do."

Su Yao asked curiously, "Huizhou, is there anything else you need to do?"

Looking at Yao'er's luscious red lips, Yang Huizhou suddenly hugged her and kissed her.

After a passionate kiss, Yang Huizhou said, "Of course, we need to get the old patriarch to come and propose marriage as soon as possible! I can't wait any longer!"
