"So this is an Existential Thread of Quintessential Self?" Wei Wuyin stood upon a fully plucked garden absent of any flowers, completely barren, down to its fertile soil nourished by pure spiritual aura. Floating atop his right palm was a slender thread of an endless multitude of colors, shrouded by a mesmerizing glow with a distinct cyan hue.
This glow was Soul Light. According to Suo Haoran, only Supreme Existences or True Sages can extract a thread of their Quintessential Self denoting their existence. It was but a single severed thread of a clump cluster of a thread that grew longer and longer as one lived. It represented not just age but lived experiences.
In the mortal world, maturity, wisdom, and breadth of spirit could be measured by the length of one's Existential Thread of Quintessential Self. All beings had one. The destruction of one's existence was the direct eradication of this cluster of a single thread.
