Chapter 99: S-Rank Bloodline (Request Monthly Votes! Request Follow Subscription!)

Thus, as time passed, the seal’s power over the Hell Fragment finally weakened, allowing a sliver of the black cat’s original spirit to escape, taking the form of a black cat, seeking out the bloodline descendant of that shamaness—Kaya—and staying by her side.

Afterwards, the black cat used PUA—mental manipulation—to control Kaya’s life, ultimately driving her to die unjustly.

After death, her soul merged with the sealed evil spirit within her, becoming a powerful onryō and simultaneously becoming its subordinate, further tearing open the seal’s cracks…

The rest need not be elaborated: Kaya began luring and killing anyone who approached the cursed house, aiming to spread its influence across Tokyo, and eventually the entire Japanese archipelago.

Thus, once enough vengeful spirits were drawn into the fragment’s space, the seal’s destruction would accelerate, freeing the black cat’s original spirit and allowing it to fully claim the authority of the Hell Fragment.

At that point, not only would the Japanese archipelago be in peril, but even the mortal realm of the End Dharma Era might face catastrophic disaster.

“So that’s how it is—an ancient demon’s residual spirit is such a thing…”

As Wu Xian spoke, Chu Xuan, who had been handing something to his created human, suddenly turned his head toward the black cat; the surface of his glasses flashed with a sharp white light.

At the same time, the black cat, which had been licking its paws, instantly bristled all over and vanished in a flash, reappearing at Wu Xian’s feet.

It revealed only half its head, watching Chu Xuan with wary intensity, as if facing some primordial beast.

“So this cat is really that evil? I actually thought it was cute before.”

Zhan Lan shook her head; the thought of this cat nearly destroying the entire world dimmed her interest in it considerably.

“Hmm, it’s cute enough, and its power is quite impressive—even after I controlled it with Spirit Binding and Summoning, its strength dipped slightly, but taking on a few second-rank gene-lock circulators should still be no problem.”

And it can turn into a cat-girl!

Recalling how the black cat’s residual spirit had once taken Kaya’s form to seduce him with beauty, Wu Xian’s lips twitched slightly, but he said nothing, planning to give Zhan Lan a small “surprise” someday when the timing was right.

Flashing through his mind were scenes too explicit to broadcast; Wu Xian reached down, picked up the black cat at his feet, and settled it comfortably in his lap, stroking it skillfully while mentally communicating with the Main God to claim his rewards from this horror film.

【Ending the horror film world “Ju-On,” awarded 1000 reward points.】

【Completed main quest: Survive fifteen days in the Ju-On world or destroy the source of the curse, awarded one B-rank subplot, 3000 reward points.】

【Circulator Wu Xian: This horror film earned four B-rank subplots, four C-rank subplots, 57,000 reward points… Combined with leftover from previous horror film, total now: 1A 2B 2C, 60,500 reward points.】

…

“Team battles are great!”

Looking at the reward points displayed on the screen, even though he had expected it, Wu Xian’s eyes gleamed with visible excitement.

If this were a 2D world, his eyes would already have turned into two “” symbols.

But…

“1A 2B 2C, tsk! What a pity—just one more C to complete the set for A.”

Wu Xian’s eyes showed a trace of regret, but he quickly dismissed it and began considering his next enhancement plan.

First, no matter what, he must enhance a sufficiently powerful bloodline this time.

The reason was not only to help the useless riffraff in the mysterious space, but more importantly, after this horror film, the Main God’s evaluation of the Zhongzhou team would skyrocket to terrifying levels.

It was highly likely to surpass even the Divine and Demon teams—the two special Lunhuixiaodui .

If so, the next horror film would inevitably see the Main God drastically increase the difficulty; even if it assigned a Class Four-Medium final boss, Wu Xian wouldn’t be surprised.

Therefore, to prepare for this potential trouble, he must rapidly boost his strength again as quickly as possible.

Currently, there were three most effective methods to increase his power.

First: Wu Xian’s luck explodes—he encounters a Class Four-Medium or higher master in the mysterious space, clings to their leg, and instantly ascends.

But due to its extreme unpredictability and reliance on luck, it was essentially not worth considering.

Second: Find a way to break through the fourth rank of the gene lock; combined with his five or six cultivation systems, even without overcoming his inner demon, he could still hold his own against conventional Class Four-Medium cultivators who hadn’t unlocked their gene locks.

But for the same reason—he had remained at the third rank for a long time and had already touched the realm of micro-detail—he still felt utterly confused about how to take the final step.

Perhaps this was because his strength had become so immense, rivaling the fourth-rank beings of the primordial ten thousand clans, that during the horror film missions, he had felt no pressure at all; thus, he temporarily shelved it as a backup option.

Third: Exchange with the Main God for a high-rank bloodline—at least double A-rank; otherwise, it would offer no meaningful increase to Wu Xian’s current power ceiling.

A double A-rank bloodline enhancement, if the circulator wasn’t a complete waste, held the potential to reach the Class Four-High Spirit rank, and even the threshold of Semi-Saint wasn’t entirely out of reach—making it the safest option available now.

But currently, he was still one C-rank subplot short; he’d need to team up with others to purchase it, or return to Ju-On and try to farm another C-rank subplot.

But the source of Ju-On was gone—could there still be any subplots left to farm in that world?

After a brief hesitation, Wu Xian ultimately decided to team up for the purchase and informed the Zhongzhou team of his plan.

“No, you cannot exchange for a double A-rank bloodline.”

Unexpectedly, Chu Xuan voiced opposition; then, under the slightly surprised gazes of Wu Xian and the others, he continued.

“As you said, the next horror film will be extraordinarily difficult; the Zhongzhou team may face total annihilation. If so, preparations must be made as thorough as possible.”

“Double A isn’t enough. I recommend exchanging directly for an S-rank bloodline.”
