Chapter 248
At that moment, a noise from above caught Yang Lingrui’s attention.
He raised his eyes to the sky and witnessed golden lights shooting out from the colorful clouds like cannonballs toward various battlefields.
Whenever they pinpointed the location of an Eastern Wilderness Condensing Essence cultivator, these golden streaks would directly charge at their targets before exploding in bursts of golden radiance.
Observing this, Yang Lingrui’s brows twitched slightly, and an unusual glint flashed in his eyes.
His reaction wasn’t due to pity for their deaths, but rather because the residual energy from the explosions suggested these beings differed from regular cultivators—they appeared more like ordinary mortals.
Noticing his confusion, Murong Qiuhan explained, "Most are mortals with Murong bloodlines who gained their cultivation realm through the Dynasty’s Secret Method."
"Our Murong Family’s blessed land of colorful clouds contains a Transformative Ability. Those Practicing Secret Methods can shed mortality to become celestial beings—at the cost of their lifespan."
"While remaining within the blessed land, they function like normal cultivators. But once they leave, their lifespan drains hundreds or even thousands of times faster."
Yang Lingrui gradually grasped the situation as Murong Qiuhan spoke.
