The Shattered Bone Realm was an exceedingly wondrous realm. The Ghost Cultivators here did not reproduce through conception. Instead, they condensed soul bodies to come into existence.
In other words, the cultivators of this realm had no bloodline inheritance.
Without bloodline inheritance, there could be no clans or ethnic groups. Thus, throughout the entire Shattered Bone Realm, there was not a single faction built upon a lineage.
Most Ghost Cultivators named themselves after the region or direction where they had fused into ghost infants and developed sentience. Wu Liu, Plague Canal, and Qingqiu, for example, were all names of certain mountain peaks or regions.
Of course, a given place did not produce only one Ghost Cultivator, so the names naturally had to be further refined.
Ghost Cultivators born in the same place carried a distinct regional aura. Although cultivators from the Aoteng Realm could not distinguish that aura at all, Ghost Cultivators of the Shattered Bone Realm could still identify it from close range.
And this was what had forged the spheres of influence within the Shattered Bone Realm.
Black Soul Mountain was a faction primarily composed of Ghost Cultivators born around Black Soul Mountain.
On a broader scale, Ghost Cultivators born in the Pan Soul Mountain Range could call themselves Ghost Cultivators of the Pan Soul Mountain Range. Their numbers had already reached two hundred thousand or so.
Thus, the Ghost Cultivators of this region all gave themselves names.
Although Ghost Cultivators of the Shattered Bone Realm had no concept of bloodline inheritance, that did not mean they had no inheritance. After powerful Ghost Cultivators realized they could not survive for long, they would find ways to continue their spiritual consciousness and memories.
This choice was essentially the same as inheriting cultivation through avatars in other realms.
