Taiyi: Joining Outsiders to Fight Your Own Brother? Isn't That Pure Beastliness?

At this moment...

Within the Primordial Wilderness...

The contents Xuan Yang wrote in his diary were naturally updated in real time within the Sea of Consciousness of all the other Diary Owners as he wrote.

They naturally saw Xuan Yang's assessment regarding "Yuanshi" and the "Immortal Slaying Sword Formation"...

But aside from Tongtian, who was also a Diary Owner...

The other Diary Owners, after reading this portion of the diary, merely laughed at Yuanshi and waited to see him make a fool of himself in the future.

After all, among the Three Pure Ones, Yuanshi could be said to be the least likable one.

Many cultivators in the Primordial Wilderness could not stand the sight of him.

He had always held himself in excessively high regard, arrogant and conceited.

Moreover...

That line, "born from eggs or dampness, hairy and horned," had truly offended far too many cultivators.

Naturally, the other cultivators could not be blamed for treating him this way.

However...

Tongtian, on the other hand, was filled with helplessness at this moment.

Yuanshi was his Second Brother, after all...

Given Tongtian's nature, even if his Second Brother often had minor disagreements with him in ordinary times...

They were brothers, after all!

Red flowers, white lotus roots, green lotus leaves—the Three Pure Ones were one family!

Tongtian had always taken the attitude that he would help his two elder brothers whenever he could!

Even if he might occasionally suffer a little loss himself, he endured it all.

So even during the period before the Third Sermon...

When Yuanshi had already developed many grievances against Tongtian because he did not follow the Saint's Path, and had often badmouthed him...

Tongtian had still specifically warned him when Old Ancestor Hongjun plotted against Yuanshi and intended to gift him the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation.

Unfortunately, it had not been of the slightest use.

Yuanshi had still chosen not to believe him and directly accepted the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation...

Therefore, after seeing Xuan Yang's diary entry now, Tongtian felt utterly helpless as well.

He could only mutter a string of sighs to himself.

"Alas, Second Brother, Second Brother..."

"Why would you not believe your Third Brother?"

"We are brothers. Would I ever harm you?"

"What a pity..."

"Things have already come to this. Saying more is useless."

"And I feel that even if I went to speak with Second Brother again, he still would not believe me..."

Tongtian shook his head helplessly.

He continued reading the diary within his Sea of Consciousness.

However, from this perspective... this was actually a good thing for Fellow Daoist Tongtian.

The Immortal Slaying Sword Formation could not be broken without four Saints.

The problem was that, in the original course of the Primordial Wilderness, there really had been four Saints joining forces against him.

He truly was terribly unlucky...

But now, after Old Ancestor Hongjun's meddling...

The original four-against-one situation might directly become three-against-two.

Though it still seemed somewhat unreliable, at least it was not as miserable as before, was it? At the very least, he would have allies.

The contents of Xuan Yang's Diary continued to update.

And after seeing the diary contents Xuan Yang had updated this time...

The Diary Owners were genuinely bewildered.

They could not really be blamed for failing to understand it...

Because what Xuan Yang had written this time was, more or less, rather cryptic.

He had written some things, but had not written the whole picture.

This was understandable, of course...

After all, this was Xuan Yang's own diary. He only needed to write whatever he pleased...

But these Diary Owners had far more to consider.

Thus, the Diary Owners were all frustratedly scratching their heads, left with no choice but to ponder it again themselves.

Tongtian frowned slightly and thought continuously:

"One against four? Two against three?"

"What Daoist Friend Xuan Yang wrote this time is rather difficult to understand."

"However, in that one-against-four, I must be the one..."

"But who are the four?"

"And according to Daoist Friend Xuan Yang... why do I feel that Second Brother also seems to be caught in the vortex of the Investiture of the Gods Great Tribulation?"

"Could it be that the three-against-two is us three brothers of the Three Pure Ones against Zhunti and Jieyin of the West?"

"That would be the more reasonable explanation."

"It cannot possibly be me joining Zhunti and Jieyin to deal with Eldest Brother and Second Brother, can it?"

"And one against four would mean me facing Zhunti, Jieyin, Eldest Brother, and Second Brother at the same time?"

"That joke is far too ridiculous. We are blood brothers, after all!"

"Eldest Brother and Second Brother would never attack me, no matter what..."

Tongtian could only continue making wild guesses in his mind.

Yet after this round of speculation, although he had come extremely close to the correct answer several times...

He still chose to dismiss it.

Because from Tongtian's perspective...

Red flowers, white lotus roots, green lotus leaves—the Three Pure Ones were always one family!

The three of them were brothers, after all...

No matter what, Tongtian would never imagine that Yuanshi and Laozi would betray him from behind.

That was simply too absurd.

Meanwhile, after seeing this diary entry, Di Jun and Taiyi began speculating as well.

Taiyi scratched his head after hearing it, clear innocence shining in his eyes. "Eldest Brother, do you understand what Third Brother means? What exactly are this one-against-four and two-against-three?"

Di Jun shook his head. "That truly is not easy to guess..."

"At first, I guessed that these five people should be five of the six Heavenly Dao Saints in the original course of the Primordial Wilderness."

"In other words, five chosen from among Nuwa, the Three Pure Ones, Zhunti, and Jieyin."

"But I quickly discovered something unreasonable about that."

Taiyi blinked and asked again, "What is unreasonable?"

Di Jun said to Taiyi, "If they are chosen from among those six, then in the one-against-four scenario, Tongtian is the one..."

"The remaining four would have to be chosen from among the other five."

"Zhunti and Jieyin would definitely be included..."

"But for the remaining two spots, even if Nuwa is included, would there not still be one spot left?"

"Would that not mean the Three Pure Ones were fighting among themselves?"

"Would one of Yuanshi and Laozi help outsiders deal with his own Third Brother?"

"Or would the two of them join forces to deal with their own Third Brother?"

Wisdom shone in Taiyi's eyes. "Then Eldest Brother, you truly guessed wrong. Such a thing could never happen!"

"They are brothers, after all! How could they possibly help outsiders attack their own brother?"

"Let me put it this way and you will understand. Could we two brothers ever help outsiders attack Third Brother one day?"

"If we truly did that, then what difference would there be between us and beasts?"
