Chapter 2615: War Flame Demonic Scripture

Published Mar 10, 2026, 06:38 PM

The first question that Lin Mu had on his mind revolved around the cultivation of demons. Despite learning from various sources, such as the Memoirs of the Lost Immortal and the guidance of Xukong, he wanted firsthand knowledge from a demon’s perspective. "How does the cultivation of demons work?" Lin Mu asked. "And if possible, could you share insights about your own technique? Only as much as you’re comfortable revealing, of course." Lin Mu knew better than to pry too deeply into cultivation secrets, as it was considered a grave offense and could lead to hostility. Karlia chuckled. "Hahaha! And here I thought Ziran would have already told you about that. Of course, I can share some insights. In fact, I don’t mind telling you about my cultivation technique either. It’s not a closely guarded secret." "Really?" Lin Mu raised his brows, surprised. Karlia nodded. "Yes. Anyone who visits our Brand Ring Demon World can access it through the Demon Legacy Pillars." "The Demon Legacy Pillars?" Lin Mu’s curiosity was piqued. "You’re saying they’re open to anyone?" "Indeed," Karlia replied with a smirk. "Unlike the Orthodox sects, we demons value strength above all else. There is no need for secrecy. Anyone who can learn our techniques and master them well enough to overpower us is welcome to try. It’s only through relentless competition that we achieve true strength. My ancestors and I thrived under these conditions, and we don’t intend to change our ways." Lin Mu found her perspective intriguing but couldn’t help but wonder aloud, "What about rare abilities like Gigantification? Aren’t those considered secrets?" Karlia leaned back, her expression contemplative. "Those are somewhat different. Abilities like Gigantification didn’t originally come from demons. They’re the result of collaboration between demons and demonic cultivators. Humans who turned to the demonic path sought our power, learning and adapting it into their own techniques and skills." Lin Mu nodded thoughtfully. "So, the secrecy of such abilities is more a human tradition?" "Exactly," Karlia affirmed. "Humans followed their own customs, hoarding knowledge. Some demons adopted this practice after seeing its advantages. However, it’s rare. Demonic techniques generally remain open to those strong enough to wield them." This revelation deepened Lin Mu’s understanding of the shared history between humans and demons. "I see. The overlap between our races is more extensive than I realized."

The same goes for demon beasts. They’ve either inherited demonic bloodlines through union with demons, learned demonic techniques, or gained power by consuming demons themselves." "Interesting," Lin Mu mused. "So, what cultivation technique do you practice?" Karlia’s expression turned proud. "Our tribe follows the Tattoo system, common among demons. Specifically, we cultivate the War Flame Demon Scripture. It’s a technique centered around creating Demonic War Flames by igniting Demonic Qi. This Qi is condensed and assimilated into Demon Tattoos." She began explaining the intricacies of the War Flame Demon Scripture in detail. Lin Mu listened attentively as she described the mnemonics, the Qi circuits, and the unique method of nurturing both Qi and the physical body through cultivation. To Lin Mu, the Qi circuits were fascinating. They represented a fusion of body cultivation and Qi cultivation. The meridians weren’t just conduits for energy but actively nurtured the muscles and organs, enhancing physical capabilities alongside Qi accumulation. "Is it possible for humans to cultivate the War Flame Demon Scripture?" Lin Mu asked, his curiosity deepening. Karlia shook her head. "Not without a demonic bloodline. Without it, your body would fail to adapt, and the flames would consume you." She paused, considering. "Well, unless someone has a trace of demonic bloodline, they might manage to practice it to a limited extent." Lin Mu fell silent, his thoughts churning. Noticing his contemplative demeanor, Karlia’s eyes narrowed. "Hahaha! Don’t tell me you’re thinking of trying it?" she said jokingly. "Actually, yes," Lin Mu replied earnestly. Karlia’s expression shifted from amusement to disbelief. Before she could respond, Lin Mu raised his hand, and dark red flames ignited upon his palm. They roared with an intensity that startled Karlia, flickering hungrily as though eager to consume the very air around them. "H-how?" Karlia stammered, her voice trembling. "That’s the Dark Red Flame level… You achieved initial mastery just like that?" 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚 The War Flame Demon Scripture had four levels of proficiency: Dark Red Flame, Crimson Flame, Blood Flame, and Black Flame. Karlia herself had reached the Blood Flame level at the Seven Tattoo Stage, yet even she hadn’t mastered the Black Flame. Lin Mu observed the flames with a frown before dispelling them. "Hmm… It’s indeed incompatible. The Qi flow is erratic and conflicts with my body cultivation. It’s as if it wants to burn away my vitality." Karlia gawked at him. "Just your vitality? It should have made you explode!" She approached him cautiously, examining him closely. "Could it be… do you have a demonic bloodline?" Karlia sniffed the air near him and recoiled in confusion. "No… there’s no trace of demon blood. You smell too… pure. Like one of those bald donkeys from the Buddhist sects." Lin Mu chuckled at her analogy. Karlia’s eyes glinted with intrigue. "You truly are full of surprises. To think someone without demonic blood could even ignite the Dark Red Flames… You’re an anomaly, Lin Mu." "Still, I’d advise caution," Karlia warned. "Without full compatibility, forcing it might destabilize your foundation." "Do you wish to know how I can do it?" Lin Mu asked wondering if it was fine to trust her with it. "Of course, I’ve never seen something like this before. Even if you modified it for your body, they are still Demonic War Flames. They shouldn’t be possible for a human body to contain at all." Karlia answered. "Well if you can keep a secret I can show you something." Lin Mu said after thinking about it. Form what he had learned about the Demons, they weren’t ones to resort to trickery and surprisingly kept their word, even more than the Orthodox powers.
