Chapter 77

“A tribulation of a thousand autumns?”

“Just hearing the name, it sounds like a terrifying tribulation!”

“Why must this Xiao Sanxiao return to the Turtle Valley to continue his seclusion? Could it be that only in the Turtle Valley can one comprehend the source of that tribulation?”

“Or perhaps there is something mysterious on the back of that divine turtle!”

“Throughout the ages, there have been legends of the Turtle Back Map!”

“Could it be related to this?”

……

Great Qin.

Qizhou.

Outside Sanghai City.

Aboard the Mirage.

When Di Di Shitian saw the four words “tribulation of a thousand autumns”, his heart tightened.

“What is a tribulation of a thousand autumns?”

“Did this tribulation appear over two thousand years ago?”

“I have never heard of it!”

“How many secrets are hidden in Xiao Sanxiao!”

Di Di Shitian’s expression became serious for the first time.

He instinctively felt that this matter was not simple!

At this time, on the Azure Cloud Ranking.

Xiao Sanxiao, having returned to the Turtle Valley, began to study the patterns on the back of the divine turtle.

Then he observed the stars at night and studied day and night, as if the stars and the patterns on the turtle’s back could give him inspiration.

In the scene, day and night changed, and who knows how many years passed.

At this time, a line of large characters appeared on the Azure Cloud Ranking.

[Xiao Sanxiao returned to the Turtle Valley, accompanied by the divine turtle, studied the relationship between the turtle’s back and the five elements of the celestial phenomena, and finally comprehended the supreme deduction strategy known as the "Pushing Back Secret Scroll".]

[At this time, he had been away from his wife and children for fifteen years!]

[Having comprehended a portion of the future tribulation, he prepared to go home to visit his wife and children!]

[However, he did not expect that when he returned home, he would find that a tragedy had occurred; his wife had passed away, and his sons had disappeared!]

At this time, the scene on the Azure Cloud Ranking changed again.

In the scene.

Xiao Sanxiao returned to his home.

The cozy little house from the past was already dilapidated!

He came before his wife’s grave, looking at the lonely tomb.

Xiao Sanxiao had tears in his eyes and sat withered before his wife’s grave for seven days and seven nights.

The laughter of the past lingered in Xiao Sanxiao’s heart.

Xiao Sanxiao’s heart was filled with guilt toward his wife.

Di Di Shitian saw this scene.

A cold smile appeared on his face.

“Fool!”

“Truly a fool!”

“To actually develop real feelings for an ordinary woman!”

“It’s just too stupid!”

“If I had obtained the blood of the divine turtle, I wouldn’t be like a waste like you!”

Di Di Shitian’s eyes were filled with disdain for Xiao Sanxiao.

Although Xiao Sanxiao had come up with some Pushing Back Secret Scroll.

Di Di Shitian still felt that Xiao Sanxiao was too incompetent!

Simply a waste!

Wasting the blood of the divine turtle!

Over two thousand years, besides creating two divine arts, marrying a wife, and having two children!

He hadn’t accomplished a single thing!

As a result, his wife died!

And his two children disappeared!

“Waste, simply a waste to the core!”

“I finally understand why you, Xiao Sanxiao, have lived for so long and can only be second on the Nine Provinces Azure Cloud Ranking.”

“With your level, you aren’t even fit to carry my shoes!”

“The top of this Azure Cloud Ranking is definitely mine!”

“How exciting my life was over two thousand years ago!”

Di Di Shitian was full of confidence again at this moment.

He felt he was back in the game!

At this time, a line of large characters appeared on the Azure Cloud Ranking in the firmament.

[After paying respects at his wife’s grave, Xiao Sanxiao inquired through many channels and learned that his two sons had set up their own portals and had initially mastered the Ten Thousand Ways of the Forest and the Four Absolutes of the Mixed Heavens.]

[Because Xiao Sanxiao lacked care for his two sons and his wife, and because his wife missed him until she passed away without seeing him one last time, the father-son relationship was broken, causing the sons to harbor hatred and disgust for their father.]

[Therefore, after Xiao Sanxiao found his two sons, they did not recognize him, but instead were very hostile toward him; moreover, these two sons were obsessed with unifying the world and overthrowing the Nine Provinces. Seeing that his two sons were obsessed and would not listen, Xiao Sanxiao believed that if they continued like this, they would become demons of the Nine Provinces, so he decided to cripple his two sons!]

At this moment.

The scene in the firmament changed again.

On the great river.

Xiao Sanxiao and his two sons stood facing each other across the river!

Like mortal enemies!

Xiao Sanxiao was still trying to persuade his two children to turn back!

However, his two sons ignored him completely!

The battle was about to break out!

Xiao Sanxiao in the scene had already lived for over two thousand years, and his cultivation was profound, crowning the world.

Fighting two against one, he quickly beat his two sons to a pulp!

The ferocity of Xiao Sanxiao’s strikes!

It was simply earth-shattering!

The wind and clouds changed color!

The water of the great river even flowed backward!

This made Di Di Shitian, who saw this scene, and all the living beings in the world, feel utterly shocked!

Di Di Shitian muttered, “What a Xiao Sanxiao!”

“Over two thousand years ago, he already had cultivation not inferior to mine!”

“Now that another two thousand years have passed!”

“How terrifying must his strength be!”

“Can I still defeat him?”

Di Di Shitian, who had just been full of confidence, suddenly lost it!

……

Great Ming.

Guanzhong.

Qixia Town.

Tongfu Inn.

When Tong Tong Xiangyu saw that after Xiao Sanxiao had been in seclusion for fifteen years and returned home, his wife had passed away and his two sons were nowhere to be found.
