Chapter 311: The Information Load is so Large, Brain Bluescreened
# 311. The Information Load is so Large, Brain Bluescreened
*An abandoned husk?!*
Hearing the monk Shenshu's words, Xu Qi'an did a double take, then swiftly connected the dots.
According to the murals, the master of this tomb was clearly that Daoist, yet the bronze coffin had yielded a withered corpse clad in a yellow robe, positioning itself as a subordinate.
A yellow robe... how could a mere subordinate dare to don that?[^1] That in itself was highly suspicious. Moreover, the corpse bore scars of burning—consistent with the effects of being struck by lightning.
All these clues, revealed after the monk Shenshu’s identification of the corpse, suddenly made sense.
*Could this corpse be the old body left behind when that Daoist failed to transcend? If so, then where was the Daoist himself? Had he succeeded, ascending to the First Rank, or perhaps taken over another body…?* Xu Qi’an’s thoughts couldn’t help but turn back to the Daoist.
*But there’s something wrong here. Daoist Jinlian once said that during the Second Rank Tribulation, success brought one to the rank of Earthly Immortal, while failure reduced one to ash. But this Daoist had managed to preserve his corpse. Did he somehow evade total annihilation, or was Daoist Jinlian simply lacking in understanding, having exaggerated the nature of the tribulation?*
“You’re trying to pry information from me about my Lord?” The withered corpse’s fierce face twisted with disdain.
