Chapter 1191: Chapter 1189: Thatched House Storm Painting

Lin Bai paid close attention in front of the stone stele, constantly looking at the treasures inscribed upon it.

"Thatched Cottage Torrential Rain Painting!"

Suddenly, Lin Bai’s eyes lit up as he looked at a scroll depicted on one of the stone steles!

"The Thatched Cottage Torrential Rain Painting, painted by the Red Immortal Sect artist Lichang Shui, contains the rare Stormy Ambience..."

The simple introduction on the painting outlined the origin and purpose of the scroll.

"Rare Realm of Comprehension!"

"Stormy Ambience!"

Upon seeing this, Lin Bai’s heart couldn’t help but be moved.

In the Martial World, realms of comprehension were divided into levels.

The first type was the common realm of comprehension.

The common realm, which nearly every warrior could comprehend at least one of, such as the Fire Realm, Gale Realm, Water Droplet Realm, and Earth Realm—these four were known as the most basic realms of comprehension.

The second type was the rare realm of comprehension.

Rare realms of comprehension were difficult to grasp, almost impossible without guidance from a renowned master, extraordinary talent, or experiencing a great life and death calamity.

And the painting Lin Bai was looking at right now, the "Thatched Cottage Torrential Rain Painting," was actually a rare realm of comprehension painting.

This genuinely moved Lin Bai’s heart!

"Alright, I’ll take this one," he decided.

Lin Bai had looked at several other steles as well, but in the end, he hadn’t found any other realm of comprehension paintings. With no other option, Lin Bai could only exchange for this "Thatched Cottage Torrential Rain Painting."

Lin Bai placed his palm against the stele, and before long, a scroll appeared in his hand.

Lin Bai walked to a secluded spot with the scroll and opened it slightly to take a look.

On this scroll, there was only a single transparent raindrop depicted.

"A single raindrop?"

Lin Bai looked at the raindrop, his face showing his confusion.

Wasn’t it supposed to be a torrential rain painting?

Shouldn’t the entire scroll be filled with raindrops? Why was there only one?

Lin Bai was very puzzled and looked over it carefully.

As Lin Bai’s mind completely immersed into the scroll, the raindrop that was frozen on the page suddenly began to move, slowly falling towards the earth below!

Below the raindrop, there was a cold river and a thatched cottage.

Quickly, one raindrop turned into two...

Two drops turned into three...

Three drops turned into four...

And when the raindrops reached nine, Lin Bai’s head throbbed with intense pain, forcing his mind to withdraw!

"What’s going on? The raindrop changed?" Lin Bai’s complexion turned pale for a moment, as he lifted the scroll to look at it once again.

When Lin Bai first looked at it, there was clearly only one raindrop, but now there were nine raindrops on the scroll.

"Eight more drops?"

Seeing the raindrops on the scroll, a hint of a strange smile appeared on Lin Bai’s face, "Interesting, do the number of drops increase as I try to comprehend more?"

"Since it’s a torrential rain, it must be dense."

"Currently, nine drops can hardly be considered a torrential downpour..."

"It seems the journey of comprehension is still long ahead," he murmured.

With a light chuckle, Lin Bai realized the intricacies of the scroll and immediately stored it in his storage bag.

Lin Bai speculated that if he could make the number of raindrops on the Torrential Rain Painting reach thousands or even tens of thousands, making the painting truly depict a torrential rain, then he should have comprehended the Stormy Ambience.

Right now, during the Blood Prison Trial, wasn’t the time to deliberate over the Torrential Rain Painting.

Once back at the Five Peaks, Lin Bai would have plenty of time to delve into it.

Just as Lin Bai put away the scroll, he lifted his eyes and saw two women in the crowd looking around.

"Ruohan, Xiaoxiao."

Lin Bai called out.

Jian Ruohan and Bai Xiaoxiao immediately walked over.

Jian Ruohan smiled and said, "We’ve been looking all over for you."

Bai Xiaoxiao smiled and asked, "So, did you get any good items?"

"Not bad, I’m quite satisfied," Lin Bai replied with a faint smile. "How about you? Having gone through two floors, you must have obtained two fine items by now."

Jian Ruohan smiled, "On the first floor, I got an Elixir Pill. After taking it, I feel I could break through to the Flying Sky Realm!"

"On the second floor, I chose an Extreme Martial Spiritual armor."

Jian Ruohan brimmed with a joyful smile, seemingly very pleased with her two treasures.

Lin Bai nodded and smiled, "And what about you, Xiaoxiao?"

Bai Xiaoxiao laughed, "My gains are pretty much the same as Ruohan’s. I chose an armor as well, and I also selected a Cultivation Skill on the second floor."

Lin Bai nodded slightly; these items were indeed ones that Bai Xiaoxiao and Jian Ruohan had a great need for.

Given the rich smile on her face, the Cultivation Skill that Bai Xiaoxiao acquired must be extraordinary!

At that moment, Jian Ruohan and Bai Xiaoxiao turned around to look at the Warriors gathered in this place.

"There are fewer and fewer people here."

"There are only a little over a hundred Warriors who have come up from the second floor," Jian Ruohan remarked indifferently.

Lin Bai also took note and said, "Yes, I hadn’t expected that after the second floor, only a little over a hundred Warriors would be able to move to the third floor."

Bai Xiaoxiao spoke up, "It looks like the final battle is upon us."

Lin Bai and Jian Ruohan both nodded in agreement.

If there were only a little over a hundred Warriors left, then it was time for the final battle.

The contest for the Red Immortal Sect’s ultimate opportunity—the Creation Order!

He who obtains the Creation Order can control the Creation Divine Palace, and all Treasures within it are theirs for the taking!

After waiting for some time, Lin Bai, Jian Ruohan, and Bai Xiaoxiao heard the Spirit Tool’s voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, the Light Gate to the third floor has been opened. Upon stepping through the Light Gate, you will receive a Jade Plate in hand. Crushing this Jade Plate will directly teleport you out of the Creation Divine Palace and also revoke your eligibility for it!"

The Spirit Tool spoke first and foremost of the Jade Plate!

Upon hearing this, Lin Bai thought, "It’s really started, then. The third floor is the final battle."

Bai Xiaoxiao said, "There are too few Warriors left here; there’s no need to continue the selection process."

Jian Ruohan nodded slightly, "Giving us the Jade Plate is giving us the choice. None of those who have come this far will easily give up."

Lin Bai glanced over the assembled Warriors, taking them all in at a glance.

Each Warrior exuded a terrifying aura, all at the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Elixir Realm.

Not a single one was an easy adversary.

"The third floor will be the ultimate deciding ground!"

"The rule for the third floor is simple. Only one person can come out alive!"

"The last person to come out will be the winner of the Creation Order and will automatically become the Sect Leader of the Red Immortal Sect, charged with the mission of their rise again!"

"Gentlemen, the Light Gate is open. Those who enter the third floor and feel outmatched may crush the Jade Plate to leave the Creation Divine Palace immediately."

"I shall wait beyond the third floor for our Red Immortal Sect’s new Sect Leader!"

"Begin."

The voice of the Spirit Tool gradually finished, its sound slowly trailing off.

A Light Gate shone brightly, and over a hundred Warriors stepped through it!

Just as Jian Ruohan said, none of the Warriors who had made it this far would easily give up. They were all set on vying for the Creation Order—for it was a chance to Ascend to Heaven in one step!

"Let’s go, let’s meet these experts!"

With a light chuckle, Lin Bai stepped into the Light Gate, followed closely by Jian Ruohan and Bai Xiaoxiao!
