Asura Mad Emperor-Chapter 739 Spirit Clan
"Wow, so many adorable porcelain dolls!"
As the crowd stepped through the city gate, Ji Huo'er's eyes lit up with excitement, and she exclaimed in a hushed voice.
The streets of the city were bustling with people, among whom were countless porcelain dolls standing merely one to two feet tall.
Each one was incredibly cute.
But at that moment, she dared not recklessly approach and pinch these seemingly adorable dolls.
Who knows, with an inadvertent squeeze, she might pinch a Great Emperor expert.
No sooner had Ji Huo'er and the others entered the city than a mystical and ancient breath of Ice Spirit Qi descended from the sky, enveloping everyone.
Immediately after, everyone's bodies began to shrink rapidly.
"Eh? What's happening! I just started developing, why are they getting smaller again!"
Having recently broken through her Nine Heavens Jade Maiden's Secret Art, Ji Huo'er felt that her body, which had not developed for a few days, was becoming shorter, and her barely-there breasts were once again gone, prompting her to cry out in alarm.
She turned to look at Qinchuan, but then noticed she was getting taller.
No, to be precise, Qinchuan was getting shorter until he was eventually the same height as her.
"Eh, big brother, you've become shorter too!"
"I can finally look you in the eye! Hehe!"
Seeing Qinchuan reduced to the size of a doll too, she could not help cheering, forgetting to be sad about her disappearing chest.
"Spirit Clan members are short in stature, not just compared to the Human Race, but even the Yin Clan looks like giants before them. Whenever the Spirit Clan engage in conversation with other races, they either have to look up or stand in the air, which they feel is an insult. Therefore, they placed a constraining Array in this city, and if you want to enter Iceflame City, you must accept this constraint. All races are suppressed to the same height. However, this Spell will naturally expire once you leave the city," Qinchuan explained.
Indeed, eventually their heights were all maintained at one and a half feet, roughly the same as the people of the Spirit Clan.
However, there was still a difference from the real members of the Spirit Clan.
Their Physical Bodies were crystal clear, like fine White Jade, while Qinchuan and the other members of the Human Race had skin that turned somewhat dark and bronzed.
Even Ji Huo'er and Ling Xian'er noticed some changes in their skin tones.
"So, when the Heavenly Demon Ants and other races with small Physical Bodies enter this place, won't they become larger!" Ji Huo'er asked curiously, as if she had discovered something incredible.
"What are you thinking with that little brain of yours? This Spell is only for suppressing, not for making you bigger if you're weak!"
Qinchuan instinctively went to pat Ji Huo'er on the head, but since they were now the same height, he missed.
...
Despite their short stature, the Spirit Clan members were by no means weak.
Moreover, compared to other races, the Spirit Clan had a significant advantage.
They were born with a Special Ability, a keen sense for the Great Secrets, Heavenly Treasures Materials, akin to a natural detector of these precious locations.
This is how they came by the name Spirit Clan.
It was precisely because they were highly sensitive to Spiritual Treasures that the Spirit Clan gathered a large amount of Heavenly Treasures Materials, leading to a surplus of treasures within the clan.
Therefore, every ten thousand years, the major families and powers of the Spirit Clan would gather the extra treasures that they couldn't use, and auction them off to all the races of the Divine Wilderness Continent.
Today, it was the day that the auction was about to begin, with many Cultivators and powerful individuals having arrived to participate in the Spirit Clan's auction.
The streets were crowded, and the sky was filled with throngs of people coming to attend the auction.
"Dong! Dong! Dong!"
Suddenly, the sound of a bell rang out, and at the center of the city, a huge jade structure emitted colorful rays of light. At the top of the building, a golden bell swayed, sending ripples through space, echoing in all directions.
"My god, that's actually a bell forged from Supreme Immortal Gold!"
Many Cultivators attending the auction for the first time were astonished to discover that just a palm-sized piece of Immortal Gold was enough to forge a Divine Weapon, and now this huge bell was entirely made of it.
How rich is this Spirit Clan?
"Forget about how many supreme treasures the Spirit Clan might have for now; the auction is about to start—we need to hurry in!"
Spoke an experienced cultivator, his voice loud and clear.
The sound of the bell signified that the auction was about to commence.
Hearing this, many cultivators unfolded their movement techniques, rushing towards the central building, not wanting to miss this auction.
"Cultivators below the rank of saints may as well save their energy and not squeeze in. Just watch the projection outside the building."
At that moment, another indifferent voice rang out, informing the many cultivators that the building was only open to those above the rank of saints.
"Out of the way! Move it!"
Suddenly, a violent shout came from afar, accompanied by a series of booming sounds.
Immediately after, Qinchuan and his companions saw the crowd in the distance swiftly parting to both sides.
A Single-Horned White Jade Rhino was pulling a carriage and charging towards them with a thunderous rumble.
The rhino and the carriage were shrunk to a proportionate size, making the figure on the carriage appear doll-sized, but it was clear to see that it was a young man, lashing a whip in his hand, driving away the crowd on both sides of the street with overbearing arrogance.
Several cultivators who couldn't dodge in time were rammed by the rhino and sent flying, then struck fiercely by the young man's whip, instantly flying out of the street.
"Didn't you hear me tell you to move away!"
The carriage came roaring forward with unstoppable momentum, but Qinchuan and the other three stood silently in the middle, motionless.
As the young man saw Qinchuan and the others blocking the way, he swung his long whip at them.
"A Supreme Saint Expert!"
The onlookers were shocked, not expecting that a mere charioteer would turn out to be a Supreme Saint Expert.
"Who's riding in that carriage?"
"Who else but a Great Emperor could have a Supreme Saint as a charioteer?"
"These four are done for; this party means serious business and is obviously not to be trifled with, yet they still won't make way!"
"Snap!"
The crowd was buzzing with discussion as the young man's whip came sweeping over. freeweɓnovel.cøm
The next moment, Li Kaitian stepped forward and grabbed the whip in his hand.
With a tug and a pull, the sheer force instantly brought the young man down, flying out of the street.
"What!"
"Did he just throw a Supreme Saint Expert out? Who is this formidable figure? Could it be a Great Emperor?"
"You scoundrels, daring to lay hands on me, do you know who my master is?" The young man got up, covered in dust, and shouted angrily.
Qinchuan glanced at the carriage, paying no attention to the young man as he simply said, "Let's go!"
With that, the four figures disappeared from the street.
"You bastards, stop right there!"
The disregard from the four made the young man feel humiliated and even more ferocious.
"Xiao Jiu!"
Just then, a severe voice came out from the carriage, silencing the young man.
"Let's go! The auction is the priority!"
Only then did the young man give up, getting back on the carriage, and with a clear whistle, the rhino sped off again.
As the carriage flew past, the White Jade curtain fluttered up.
A piercing, indifferent gaze flashed from within, sending a shudder through the body of any cultivator who met it, as if their hearts had been struck fiercely.
"Indeed, a Great Emperor powerhouse!"
