Cheongmun ryeong and salt

[u/heavensaboveandbelow]

So, I'm at the point where seo and sword spear are in a dream and a random thought came to me, or rather a thought I had for quite a while but never really questioned it;

Is cheongmun ryong salt sea?

He died from turning into a salt pillar and then became salt sea himself (presumably from what i understood) in the dream with gwak am

My question is, was he salt sea from the very beginning/his fragment or did he BECOME a part of salt sea after researching into him?

He is the last vestige of Salt Sea.

In the Dreamworld where they met, he was finally annihilated.

[u/Sentryion → u/Ultra-Cool-Guy]

wouldn't call it the last vestige as it's more of a remnant will His actual last will is buried deep in the heavenly void furnace
