It possessed the miraculous effects of fate and time. The reason the others had managed to reach the seventh rank was due to this precious effect. These leaves were, in essence, an artifact that allowed one to alter time itself.
Depending on how much a leaf had matured, it could allow even a first ranker to reach the seventh rank directly, or perhaps higher. That was because it skipped time directly to that future state.
