Ever since Xingtian journeyed beyond the domain and Houyi was killed by Demon Emperor Lu Ya, then cast into the cycle of reincarnation...
"The burden of our Witch Clan's future resurgence will rest upon your shoulders." Houtu of the Witch Clan stood before the Reincarnation Underworld and addressed the gathered Witch Clan powerhouses led by Zhong Kui.
Zhong Kui had not originally belonged to the Witch Clan. He had once been a ghost immortal of the human race.
But just as the dragons and Sea King Class of the Wizard World had gradually integrated into the Wizard World's great family,
the Witch Clan, which controlled the Reincarnation Underworld of the Prehistoric World, had begun absorbing new members tens of thousands of years ago through methods such as guiding them with essence blood.
The Immortal Domain Civilization was constantly advancing. Even the rigid and conservative Prehistoric Witch Clan was progressing!
It was not merely human ghost immortals like Zhong Kui. The Witch Clan members of the Reincarnation Underworld now resembled Master Tongtian's doctrine of teaching without distinction: so long as ghost cultivators possessed suitable character and decent talent and potential, they could receive an essence-blood inheritance and become members of the Witch Clan.
For example, among the Underworld's ghost cultivators, some capable demon race ghost cultivators—such as Ox-Head and Horse-Face—had also joined the Witch Clan.
Some among them had even cultivated to the realm of Level 4 or above as ghost immortals.
And the benefits of joining the Witch Clan went far beyond that.
Besides enjoying certain conveniences within the Underworld and the territories of the Ten Kings of Hell, Witch Clan essence blood granted those ghost cultivators and ghost immortals an ability they had long dreamed of—bearing offspring.
In Wizard World terms, ghost cultivators were a group of "Undead Creatures."
