To be fair, this was not Sky Soaring's fault either.
After all, it was difficult for him to believe that his scheme could be broken by a mere True Person at the Foundation Establishment stage. It completely defied common sense; there was not even a theoretical possibility of it.
After turning it over and over in his mind, Sky Soaring felt there was only one explanation:
'The World Honored One descended into the world, enlightened a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and then used him to ruin my scheme. That is the only possibility! Only that explanation makes the most sense!'
Sky Soaring had even thought up the reason: his avatar had entered the Pure Land and attained the External Dao Fruit Position of the Pure Land. Then he had seized the Pure Land's White Wax Metal Spirit Immortal. Although Dragon-Serpent Shadow Bodhisattva had returned it in the end, the White Wax Metal Spirit Immortal had failed in its Golden Seeking and had now died a violent death.
All things considered, that counted as offending the Pure Land.
Could it be that the World Honored One had discovered his plot long ago and deliberately created a Foundation Establishment Buddha's Son in advance, solely to trap and kill him?
If that had merely been speculation—
What made him even more certain was the unlucky fellow now being controlled by Lu Yang. The effects of Puppet on Strings were very similar to the World Honored One's Unity of Ten Thousand Hearts.
And there was that False Holding Gold Position Method. The World Honored One also had the False Holding Dao Lord Method.
It all matched. Everything matched!
The more Sky Soaring thought about it, the more reasonable his guess seemed.
If you were not the World Honored One, then who was?
That was why,
