And at this moment...
After hearing Zhen Yuanzi's question...
Hongyun also revealed a somewhat puzzled expression.
After all, from his perspective, he had not felt that there was anything strange about Xuan Yang's actions this time...
So instead, he was rather curious why Zhen Yuanzi had suddenly said such a thing.
Thus, Hongyun turned and asked Zhen Yuanzi:
"Daoist Friend Zhen Yuanzi, why do you say that?"
Zhen Yuanzi explained, "Daoist Friend Hongyun, we have known Daoist Friend Xuan Yang for so long..."
"This should be the first time we have seen him come here as a guest, right?"
Hongyun answered nonchalantly, "While that is indeed true... there is nothing strange about it, is there?"
"Doesn't it instead prove that Daoist Friend Xuan Yang's friendship with us has grown deeper?"
Zhen Yuanzi smiled helplessly. "There is nothing wrong with understanding it that way..."
"But I still feel that Daoist Friend Xuan Yang's purpose is not so simple."
"After all, Daoist Friend Xuan Yang rarely does meaningless things..."
He shook his head again.
Although he found it somewhat strange, Zhen Yuanzi had no idea what Xuan Yang was thinking for the moment.
Since he could not figure it out, he simply stopped thinking about it.
Zhen Yuanzi let out a breath. "We can only wait and see when Daoist Friend Xuan Yang mentions this matter in his diary."
Meanwhile...
On the Sun Star.
Di Jun and Taiyi were likewise somewhat puzzled by this.
Thus, Taiyi asked Di Jun curiously, "Eldest Brother, Third Brother still hasn't returned?"
Di Jun shook his head at Taiyi. "Not yet..."
Taiyi raised an eyebrow. "That is truly strange... Given Third Brother's personality, he rarely leaves the Sun Star for so long..."
"And he has barely written in his diary these past years."
"That does not fit his usual way of doing things..."
Di Jun said to Taiyi, "Actually, Second Brother, you need not worry too much."
"Third Brother is quick-witted and possesses wisdom far beyond ours. Whatever he does, he surely has his own reasons."
"Besides, I think Third Brother may once again be laying plans for our Golden Crow clan, or even the entire Demon Race..."
Taiyi blinked innocently, clearly not understanding what Di Jun meant. "Laying plans?"
Di Jun explained helplessly, "Third Brother mentioned it in his diary many years ago..."
"He was going to begin taking the initiative."
"At first, his approach had merely been to hide."
"He wanted to lie low, avoid trouble, and avoid karmic entanglements, thinking that would keep him safe and sound..."
"But reality proved otherwise... Old Ancestor Hongjun and the Heavenly Path would not let us go..."
"So from that time onward, Third Brother began changing his strategy."
"He had to take the initiative and make plans in advance!"
"I think this time, he must be doing it for our clan again..."
Taiyi revealed an expression of half-understanding.
At that moment, Di Jun sensed Xuan Yang's aura passing through the Grand Formation of the Stars.
Di Jun was immediately overjoyed. "Third Brother has returned."
Taiyi was overjoyed as well.
Though he did not know what Xuan Yang was specifically plotting...
He understood Xuan Yang very well.
After going so long without writing in his diary, once Third Brother had time to rest, he would surely write properly in it, right?
Though he could not guess Third Brother's thoughts, he still had the diary, did he not?
They only needed to wait a little longer and read the diary directly.
Thus, Di Jun and Taiyi did not rush to discuss the matter any further.
Instead, they silently began waiting for Xuan Yang to update his diary.
Meanwhile...
Inside Xuan Yang's palace...
Taiyi had truly guessed correctly.
After returning to his palace, Xuan Yang rested only briefly before impatiently beginning to write in his diary.
Thus, for all the Diary Owners, the Diary Instances within their Seas of Consciousness immediately reacted!
Every one of them became somewhat excited.
They could finally read the diary again!
And Xuan Yang's diary entries gradually began to update.
"Phew!"
"I've finally returned home!"
"Honestly! This time really exhausted me!"
"Running all over the Primordial Wilderness for years on end was... not friendly at all to a shut-in like me!"
"A stay-at-home life suits me better."
The first portion of Xuan Yang's newly updated diary left the Diary Owners struggling to keep straight faces!
After reading it, every one of them could not help but laugh silently.
Taiyi: "Sure enough, Third Brother's personality is still the same... It seems Eldest Brother was truly right."
Di Jun: "Sigh, he has truly had it hard. He has been running around for our clan, and our development to this day has all depended on Third Brother..."
The two Golden Crows were both deeply moved, their hearts filled with gratitude for Third Brother's efforts.
Within Wuzhuang Temple.
Zhen Yuanzi also wore an expression that said, I told you so.
Zhen Yuanzi said, "I told you long ago, this simply does not fit Daoist Friend Xuan Yang's usual way of doing things..."
Within the Demon Court, at Nuwa's residence.
Nuwa was filled with curiosity. "So what exactly has Daoist Friend Xuan Yang gone through all this trouble for?"
Fuxi said with a smile, "We will know if we keep reading."
They continued watching patiently.
And Xuan Yang's diary entries gradually appeared.
Although this time truly exhausted me...
My objective has basically been achieved.
One after another, I sought out Daoist Friend Nuwa, Daoist Friend Tongtian, Daoist Friend Zhen Yuanzi, and Daoist Friend Hongyun to discuss the Dao, specifically imparting Primordial Chaos Insights to them...
Presumably, their understanding of the Hunyuan Dao has now deepened considerably, right?
This way, even if at the upcoming third sermon, Old Ancestor Hongjun intends to take Daoist Friend Nuwa and Daoist Friend Tongtian as disciples, or even give them Hongmeng Purple Qi...
Since I already explained the stakes to them during my previous sermon and deliberately deepened their understanding of the 'Hunyuan Dao' this time...
They should not continue down the wrong path, right?
