Gu Qingxun was not worried that Qin Lang would remain a tree forever after he turned into one. She firmly believed that since Qin Lang could turn into a tree, he could naturally turn back into a tree. During this period, she had to make sure that Qin Lang would not be disturbed. Therefore, when some reckless cultivators in the small world of Deer Field tried to seek benefits from Qin Lang, they thought that Qin Lang was also a sacred tree like a big toon, and that his branches, leaves, or fruits should be natural treasures that could be used to concoct pills or medicines. Therefore, those cultivators tried to obtain benefits from Qin Lang, but they were ruthlessly attacked by Gu Qingxun in the next moment. Gu Qingxun had no mercy for those ignorant cultivators. Anyone who dared to get within a hundred zhang of Qin Lang would be killed without mercy. Huan Ye was terrified to see Gu Qingxun go on a killing spree.
As a yao cultivator and the guardian of Yao Forest, Huan Ye could already be considered as a formidable character in the North Yao Continent. In the past, Huan Ye had killed off no small number of cultivators who had attempted to break into Yao Forest with their fan. He could already be considered as a minor malefic star. However, Huan Ye believed that there were principles and bottom lines to his actions of killing off the various cultivators. All of them revolved around protecting Yao Forest and the holy tree. Gu Qingxun, on the other hand, did not have too many principles. It would appear that anyone who tried to approach Qin Lang would be killed off without any hesitation.
"What? Do you think I'm cruel and merciless?" Gu Qingxun asked Huan Ye. She seemed to have seen through Huan Ye's thoughts, but Gu Qingxun didn't care at all. "All I know is that I can't let anyone disturb his cultivation. If anyone does, I'll turn them into dust."
"Aren't you afraid of karma?" Huan Ye asked.
"Karma? Once you reach the level of an era's overlord, you won't care about karma anymore. That's because by then, you'll have already transcended karma, "Gu Qingxun said to Huan Ye calmly.
"Oh … I see. You've already transcended karma," Huan Ye said enviously.
"Don't worry. As long as you cultivate with us, as long as you're not disloyal, you'll naturally be able to become an overlord of an era. I'm very certain of this." Gu Qingxun said with a smile. She was very confident in Qin Lang, so she was very sure that Huan Ye could also cultivate to become an era's overlord.
Huan Ye was excited. She knew that a person like Gu Qingxun wouldn't make promises easily.
Once Gu Qingxun made this promise, it would prove that Gu Qingxun had full confidence in ensuring that Phantom Leaf would become the overlord of an era.
For Phantom Leaf, the existence of an era's overlord was something that she could only dream of. Even thinking about it was extravagant. Even the controller of the small world of Deyuan, the Spiritual Internet creature, had yet to reach the level of an era's overlord. Moreover, the Spiritual Internet creature would definitely not allow Phantom Leaf to break the shackles of this world. Therefore, without Qin Lang or Gu Qingxun's support, even if Phantom Leaf had talent and strength, it would be very difficult for her to become an era's overlord. It would even be very difficult for her to reach the level of half-step era's overlord. The controller of this world would definitely not allow Phantom Leaf to have such a chance.
Therefore, be it the lower plane system or the higher plane system, the number of era's overlords would definitely be rather limited. That was because the process of becoming an era's overlord was too difficult. Not only did it require talent and strength, but it also required luck and opportunities. Without luck and opportunities, even if one's talent was shocking, it would only be a glimpse. Like a shooting star, it would soon disappear in the long river of history. It was extremely rare for Phantom Leaf to have Qin Lang and Gu Qingxun's help and to have both talent and opportunities. After some consideration, Phantom Leaf immediately realized this. Therefore, she said to Gu Qingxun, "Yes, I can completely understand your judgment and approach. It seems that I should also do what you did and make sure that they won't be disturbed by anyone at all costs!"
Phantom Leaf also knew that as a cultivator, it was taboo to be a fence-sitter. Since she had finally found such a powerful backer, of course, she had to find a way to hold on to it and gain a firm foothold. Otherwise, once she lost her backer, it would be extremely difficult to find another one! It was worth noting that Qin Lang and Gu Qingxun had no intention of getting anything out of Phantom Leaf. Rather, it was Phantom Leaf who needed help from Qin Lang and Gu Qingxun. Therefore, since she already had such a powerful backer, she naturally had to cherish it.
After going through a cruel baptism from Gu Qingxun, Phantom Leaf immediately became someone who was decisive in killing. Although Phantom Leaf was not immune to karma like Gu Qingxun and Qin Lang, since Qin Lang and Gu Qingxun were there to block the "karma" for her, there was nothing for her to worry about.
Indeed, the cycle of karma was not just a form of retribution. It was also a form of catastrophe. Cultivators were often unable to escape from the catastrophe of karma. For any cultivator to truly transcend, they had to sever their karma and break through the catastrophe of karma. It was just that very few cultivators were able to do that. However, Phantom Leaf had no such worries at the moment. Even if her karma were to be triggered, she would not have to worry at all. That was because Qin Lang and Gu Qingxun would definitely be able to help her sever the karma.
Not only was Phantom Leaf the guardian of the Demon Forest, but she was also a demonic cultivator. Demonic cultivators had always been the type who were quick to repay favors and take revenge. Therefore, once Phantom Leaf became unscrupulous, she would not be easy to deal with. Phantom Leaf did not spare any cultivators who tried to break into the Demon Forest with ill intentions, be it cultivators from the Path of Immortals, Path of Demons, or even demonic cultivators. Phantom Leaf killed countless cultivators and directly devoured the essence and spirituality of those cultivators using the techniques that Gu Qingxun taught her.
Gu Qingxun and Phantom Leaf could be said to have killed without restraint. Of course, they did not go overboard. They only killed the cultivators who tried to get close to the Demon Forest. Otherwise, even the manager of the small world of Luyuan would have a headache.
Speaking of which, it was strange that the more Gu Qingxun and Phantom Leaf killed, the more cultivators thought that the Demon Forest was a promising place. There was nothing they could do about it. Many cultivators were despicable. The more dangerous a place was, the more they thought that there were great treasures and opportunities there, and the more they wanted to venture into the Demon Forest. Even though they knew that many cultivators would be killed once they entered the Demon Forest, these people always thought that they were the ones with great luck and that the opportunities in the Demon Forest were prepared for them. However, they ended up dying in the Demon Forest and eventually turned into a pile of bones.
