To be fair, this wasn't Ang Xiao's fault.
After all, he found it hard to believe his plan had been thwarted by a mere Foundation-Stage Cultivator. That was completely illogical—not even theoretically possible.
Ang Xiao mulled it over and concluded there was only one explanation:
'The Bhagavat descended to the mortal realm, granted Enlightenment to a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and is now using him to ruin my plan... That has to be it! It's the only logical explanation!'
Ang Xiao had even thought of the perfect motive: his avatar had entered the Pure Land, attained one of its Outer Dao Fruit Positions, and stolen the Immortal Spirit of the Fruit of Pewter Metal. Although the Dragon and Snake Coiling Shadow Bodhisattva had eventually returned the Immortal Spirit, it had already died violently after failing in its quest of Seeking Gold.
Basically, he had offended the Pure Land.
