119: Chapter 119 The Ice and Fire Sisters!

The large-scale teleportation Formation was not located within the Heavenly Craft Pavilion, but encompassed the entire Myriad Phenomena Sect.

In a sense, the Myriad Phenomena Sect was built upon the foundation of the teleportation Formation.

Looking at the massive Formation beneath his feet, Su Mo couldn't help but exclaim:

"Such a colossal Formation, if activated, the Spiritual Qi consumption would probably be an astronomical figure, right?"

He keenly perceived that once this Formation operated at full power, the impact of absorbing Spiritual Qi would likely be even more exaggerated than Immortal Master Qian Ji's Spirit Gathering Formation.

Yu Tianshu nodded with a solemn expression:

"Fellow Daoist Su, your Dharma Eye is like a torch."

"This Formation is called the 'Heaven and Earth Reversal Grand Formation'. According to the notes left by the Ancestral Master, each activation of the Formation requires gathering the power of several Spiritual Veins. The immense consumption is enough to cripple a Sect."

"Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, this Formation must not be easily activated. Otherwise, even if the teleportation is successful, the damage to the Sect's Spiritual Veins would be equivalent to severing its Legacy."

Before Su Mo arrived, what he had been thinking was to activate the Formation when the Sun broke through the Sect-protecting Grand Formation.

After all, a declining Sect would eventually have a day to rise again, but if the Sect was annihilated, there would be nothing left.

However, after listening, Su Mo felt nothing, but instead showed an eager expression.

Energy?

I lack everything but energy!

While using Quantum Analysis to analyze and deduce the Formation patterns, Su Mo communicated and discussed with Yu Tianshu.

Listening to Su Mo's various seemingly wild ideas, Yu Tianshu's eyes sparkled, as if a door to a new world had been opened.

Things like, Spiritual Qi is not the only energy in the world; ubiquitous light, heat, sound, electricity... all are energy sources that can be captured and utilized.

Why should Cultivators be confined to only Cultivating with Spiritual Qi? Can't they Cultivate with these other energies?

Things like, Formations do not have to follow fixed forms and runes... These concepts showed Yu Tianshu the future direction of Formations. He was so excited he could barely contain himself, and his gaze towards Su Mo was filled with fervor... In Yu Tianshu's reluctant gaze, Su Mo ultimately left the Myriad Phenomena Sect with Immortal Master Qian Ji.

Both parties gained a lot from this trip. Su Mo obtained the large-scale teleportation Formation and the knowledge accumulated by the Myriad Phenomena Sect over thousands of years, while Yu Tianshu saw the hope for the Myriad Phenomena Sect's rise.

The flying boat slowly accelerated, transforming into a dark streak of light, disappearing into the horizon.

Immortal Master Qian Ji leaned over the railing, looking at the rapidly shrinking Myriad Phenomena Sect mountain gate below, exclaiming in wonder:

"Sect Master, are we just leaving?"

"I think that old man was almost in tears, wishing he could become sworn brothers with you."

Su Mo lay on the soft chair, eyes closed, analyzing and deducing the gains from this trip in his mind. Hearing this, he said indifferently:

"You ate and drank their things, and even took a whole pile of stuff before leaving. Is it really good to talk about them like that?"

Su Mo had seen clearly that Immortal Master Qian Ji was holding piles of specialty Spiritual Fruits and Spiritual Food from the Myriad Phenomena Sect before leaving.

"Isn't it customary for guests to follow the host's lead? Their hospitality was so overwhelming, how could I, as a guest, refuse?"

Her expression was normal; not only did she not feel embarrassed, but she kept taking out Spiritual Fruits and Spiritual Food, eating heartily without any regard for her image.

Su Mo heard the commotion, opened a slit in his eyes, and said indifferently:

"A Puppet body needs to eat? Then how do you excrete stones?"

"Pfft—cough, cough, cough!"

Immortal Master Qian Ji was biting into a Spiritual Fruit and was choked by this sentence, coughing repeatedly before finally catching her breath.

"My immortal gold body is just like a normal person's. It has taste, it has temperature, so naturally, it can eat."

"As for... excreting stones..."

A blush appeared on her face, and she glared at Su Mo reproachfully:

"Immortals don't excrete stones."

Seeing her like this, Su Mo couldn't help but chuckle softly, then closed his eyes again to continue deducing the Formation.

A moment later, the flying boat slowly stopped outside a range of mountains shrouded in mist and covered in blooming flowers.

Exotic flowers and rare herbs covered the mountains, filling Su Mo's entire vision. A rich floral fragrance wafted over with the breeze, yet it didn't feel cloying, instead, it was refreshing and invigorating.

As soon as Su Mo exited the flying boat, a group of female Cultivators of various appearances came forward to greet him.

"Hundred Flowers Palace Deacon Elder, Liu Yiyi, respectfully welcomes Sect Master Su."

"The Palace Master has prepared a banquet in the Hundred Flowers Hall. Sect Master Su, please follow me."

The leading woman, dressed in a light purple gauze dress with a gentle demeanor, bowed slightly to Su Mo, her voice soft and beautiful.

She turned sideways to lead the way, and the surrounding female Cultivators also moved aside, all with perfectly appropriate smiles.

"Thank you, Elder Liu, for leading the way."

Su Mo's expression was calm, and he nodded slightly.

As he followed Liu Yiyi into the Hundred Flowers Palace, he subtly observed his surroundings.

As expected of the Hundred Flowers Palace!

Su Mo walked all the way to the Hundred Flowers Hall and didn't see a single man on the way.

However, the only thing that puzzled Su Mo was that the female Cultivators of the Hundred Flowers Palace seemed to be divided into two groups.

One group was gentle and lovely, showing a perfectly appropriate smile when they saw Su Mo and his companions, their eyes clear and soft, making one feel as if bathed in a spring breeze.

The other group, however, was completely different; although they showed no hostility towards Su Mo, their faces were expressionless, as if made of ice.

Su Mo couldn't help but ask Liu Yiyi, who was beside him:

"Elder Liu, your Sect's Disciples... seem to have very different styles?"

His tone was tactful, and his gaze swept over those cold-faced female Cultivators.

Liu Yiyi's gentle smile remained unchanged, and she softly explained:

"Sect Master Su, you jest."

"Our Hundred Flowers Palace's Cultivation Techniques are mainly divided into two lineages."

"One lineage primarily Cultivates the 'Hundred Flower Concentration Art', which emphasizes affinity with nature and a clear state of mind, so the Disciples are mostly gentle in temperament."

"The other lineage primarily Cultivates the 'Cold Plum Proud Snow Art', which pursues a heart as clear as ice and an unflappable spirit, so they appear a bit colder."

"There is no other meaning, I hope Sect Master Su does not mind."

Her explanation was reasonable, but Su Mo keenly caught a flicker of helplessness in her eyes.

"So that's how it is."

After understanding, Su Mo was about to ask no more questions, but suddenly heard Immortal Master Qian Ji muttering to herself.

"This is just like those guys from the Mortal World Dao Palace..."

"One side is the Dao of Utmost Emotion, the other is the Dao of Emotionlessness. They argued incessantly every day, and in the end, they even fought and split up..."

Immortal Master Qian Ji's voice was small, but everyone present was a Cultivator and heard it clearly.

Liu Yiyi's gentle smile froze for a moment, but quickly returned to normal.

Upon arriving at the Hundred Flowers Hall, dozens of female Cultivators were already standing at the entrance, waiting.

They were divided into two teams, standing on either side, clearly demarcated, and one could tell which Cultivation Technique they practiced from their facial expressions.

Two slightly more mature female Cultivators with graceful temperaments stood at the head of the queues.

The one on the left wore an goose-yellow palace dress, her face serene, with a gentle smile playing at the corners of her lips.

The one on the right was dressed in plain white, her posture tall and straight, her face cold, exuding a faint chill.

But one thing was the same: both women looked identical!

Seeing Su Mo arrive, the woman in the goose-yellow palace dress stepped forward first:

"Hundred Flowers Palace Palace Master, Lin Chenxi (Lin Shuangning), greets Sect Master Su."

Su Mo was immediately surprised.

There are two Palace Masters?!

And they're a duality of ice and fire?!
