Background / History
Withdrawal from the Witch-Demon conflict
The Witch Clan emerges after the First Witch-Demon War with Di Jiang grievously wounded and the Demon Clan establishing the Heavenly Court. Hongjun's decree assigns the demons to govern heaven and the Witches to manage earth, but Di Jiang realizes that future Witch-Demon wars are intended to exhaust both races and resolve the Immeasurable Tribulation through their destruction. He therefore chooses to keep the clan hidden rather than contend for supremacy. 1 2
This policy initially conflicts with the clan's traditional outlook. The Ancestral Witches consider themselves Pangu Orthodoxy and the rightful masters of the world, while many demand immediate war against the Demon Clan. Di Jiang uses seclusion, provocation, and his superior strength to force them to confront their limitations and accept a period of cultivation. 2 5 6
After a thousand years on Mount Buzhou, Di Jiang acquires the Godslaying Spear and a Primordial Spirit cultivation art. The clan begins refining pills, artifacts, formations, and combat methods—fields previously neglected because Witches originally lacked Primordial Spirits. 3 4
Migration into Pangu Hall
As the Witch Clan's expanding population creates unrest that could ignite another Witch-Demon War, Di Jiang orders every clansman recalled to Pangu Hall. The returning tribes are led first by Great Witches such as Hou Yi, Kua Fu, and Xing Tian. During the migration, clan defenders kill multiple Quasi-Sage attackers, establishing that assaults on Witch Clan members will be met with overwhelming retaliation. 8 10
Pangu Hall's restrictions screen the arrivals, exposing Demon Clan agents, spies from great powers, and hidden Sage methods concealed among the population. Nearly one billion trillion returning citizens earn Di Jiang ten Sea-Calming Pearls, while the remaining population is subsequently transferred into the hall as well. 11 12
Di Jiang creates indistinguishable Twelve Ancestor Witch Clones and uses them to relocate the entire clan from the Primordial Wilderness. The disappearance shocks the Heavenly Court, whose deductions cannot uncover where the Witches have gone or how they can use spiritual treasures despite their apparent lack of Primordial Spirits. 12
The Thirty-Six Heavens and rise of the Witch Sages
Within Pangu Hall, the Sea-Calming Pearls become the Thirty-Six Heavens. Each pearl contains a small world capable of housing immense Witch Clan populations and supplying cultivation resources up to the Golden Immortal Realm; those who advance further enter Pangu Hall itself. 13
The clan continues cultivating while refusing pressure from the Three Pure Ones, the Western Sages, and other factions to rejoin the broader conflict. Their hidden progress produces multiple Witch Sages: Di Jiang first, Zhu Jiuyin next, and eventually all Twelve Ancestor Witches. Great Witches including Xing Tian, Hou Yi, Kua Fu, Xiangliu, Jiu Feng, Wind Earl, and Rain Master also reach the Ancestor Witch Realm. 18 34 36 41
When Hongjun infiltrates Pangu Hall to eradicate the clan, Di Jiang counters his attacks with the fused Law of Strength. The Eleven Witch Sages awaken and join the defense, revealing the collective strength the clan concealed throughout the Demon-Witch Calamity. 95
Later development
Di Jiang continues sharing his cultivation gains with the Witch Sages and guides the clan toward lasting prosperity rather than territorial domination. Xing Tian becomes a Witch Sage, then receives Pangu's Spatial Blood Essence from Di Jiang to support the restored Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Grand Formation. 114 118
Appearance
The Witch Clan has no single uniform appearance, but its members are distinguished by bodies forged from Pangu Essence Blood and Earthly Fiend Qi rather than conventional Primordial Spirits. 49
- Originally cultivate fleshly bodies and blood vitality instead of Primordial Spirits. 3
- The Twelve Ancestor Witches serve as the clan's highest bloodline and leadership. 2
- Great Witches lead major tribes and act as the clan's principal field defenders. 9 10
- The clan later develops Primordial Spirits without abandoning its physical cultivation foundation. 4 19
Personality
The early Witch Clan is proud, combative, and deeply convinced that its Pangu lineage makes it superior to the myriad races. Its Ancestral Witches initially see control of the Primordial World as their birthright and resist Di Jiang's refusal to wage war for supremacy. 2 6
Under Di Jiang's leadership, the clan becomes more patient and calculating. Primordial Spirit cultivation improves the Ancestral Witches' ability to plan and restrain their former impulses, though their loyalty to Pangu, their siblings, and their people remains absolute. 9 19 117
The clan is fiercely protective of its members. Its response to the attacks on Hou Yi and Kua Fu's returning tribes demonstrates a policy of pursuing those who harm Witch Clan citizens, even at significant cost. 10
Abilities & Skills
Fleshly Body Cultivation
Witches cultivate their bodies, blood vitality, and Laws rather than relying on conventional immortal techniques.
- Their physical bodies originate from Pangu Essence Blood and Earthly Fiend Qi. 49
- Early limitations include an inability to refine high-grade pills due to lacking Primordial Spirits. 3
- Di Jiang later provides Great Witches with Pangu's orthodox Fleshly Body Sainthood path. 34
Primordial Spirit Cultivation
Di Jiang's secret art fundamentally changes the clan's cultivation path.
- Allows Witches to cultivate Primordial Spirits while retaining their physical-body foundation. 4
- Enables artifact refinement, pill refinement, formation refinement, divination, and more sophisticated planning. 3 9
- Helps the Ancestral Witches overcome their worst personality flaws and accelerate their advancement. 19
Laws and Sage Cultivation
The clan's strongest members cultivate individual Laws inherited through their Pangu bloodline.
- Di Jiang imparts complete Laws corresponding to the Twelve Ancestor Witches' attributes. 19 34
- Zhu Jiuyin comprehends the Time Law and becomes a Witch Sage. 34
- Di Jiang fuses Laws into the Law of Strength, which he uses against Hongjun. 19 95
- Great Witches develop specialized paths, including Archery, War, Wind, Rain, and Flame-related cultivation. 34 66 117
Collective Battle Arts
The Witch Clan possesses cooperative techniques that multiply the force of its strongest members.
- Ten Directions Annihilation — A joint body-tempering combat art led by the Ancestral Witches; it can release ten times their ordinary power. 6
- Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Grand Formation — The clan's ultimate collective formation, re-formed when Di Jiang transfers Pangu Spatial Blood Essence to Xing Tian. 6 118
- Twelve Ancestor Witch Clones — Di Jiang's clones replicate the aura, Laws, and bodies of the true Ancestral Witches, concealing the clan's evacuation from even high-level divination. 12
Pangu Hall
Pangu Hall is both the Witch Clan's sanctuary and the core of its hidden expansion.
- Formed from Pangu's skullcap and contains an entire world. 2
- Its restrictions identify false Witch Clan members and forcibly expose hidden infiltrators. 11
- Malice Detection identifies hostile intent within its domain. 34
- Seamless Awareness gathers information from across the Primordial Wilderness through traces of Pangu's power; Sages and Dragon-Han-era powers can evade it. 34
- Its defenses withstand Zhunti's three-year assault on its gates. 27
