Chapter 1764: Using A Mountain As An Axe
The scent of the Remnant Scent could cause a living to forget everything about Dong Ji and even prevent them from creating a record, but that wasn’t the only function of the Remnant Scent.
Legend had it that consuming just a single leaf of the Remnant Scent could immunize them from all illnesses and dramatically increase their resistance against all evils. They would also gain a strange scent that naturally improved their charisma and removed all hostility toward them.
To put it simply, a person who consumed a leaf of the Remnant Scent would become extremely charismatic. They could be a ruthless butcher of millions, and it would still be difficult for someone to feel malice or develop a negative opinion of them. It was quite the miraculous plant.
In fact, one could say that consuming a leaf of the Remnant Scent would guarantee one a peaceful and worriless life—as long as they did not actively try to commit suicide, of course.
The group was pretty interested in the Remnant Scent. Alas, obtaining its leaf was not an easy matter.
First, the Remnant Scent was rooted in the sky. It looked very close from the ground, but in reality it was as high as the nine heavens. It would take three to five days just to get close to the Remnant Scent.
Besides that, the closer one got to the Remnant Scent, the stronger and richer its scent would become. Not even sealing off one’s five senses and six perceptions could immunize oneself to it. The scent would gradually erode one’s mind and soul until they forgot why they were flying toward the Remnant Scent in the first place.
If the seeker still knew no restraint and continued to approach the Remnant Scent, then the roots would excrete some sort of mysterious liquid that spread throughout the air. It would wipe away one’s memories gradually until they had transformed into a memoriless, mindless, and soulless shell.
In conclusion, some things were only meant for people of great fortune and destiny.
Although the group was interested in the Remnant Scent, sense triumphed over greed once they learned how deadly it was. Searching for the evil suppressing spiritual treasure took precedence anyway.
Another one hour later, a towering mountain entered their view.
The mountain boasted a strange shape. The lower part of the mountain was more or less even. It looked like a round pillar, just a very, very thick one.
