However, Yuan Jie did not grow anxious over the lack of resources. Instead, he remained calm and unconcerned, for it was still far too early to worry about such things.
They now needed to repair the earth veins while setting up the Heaven-Earth Origin-Returning Formation.
Let alone several thousand Heaven-Earth Origin-Returning Formations—even a few hundred would likely take several hundred Epochs, perhaps even longer, to arrange.
(The higher the grade of the mountains and earth veins, the higher the grade of Innate Spiritual Treasures and Innate Spiritual Roots required, as well as the stronger Heaven-Earth Origin-Returning Formation that had to be deployed. Naturally, the time required to set up the formation would also be longer.)
After several hundred Epochs, who knew what level their cultivation would reach? Who knew how many opportunities, resources, and treasures they would obtain?
Having sorted out his thoughts, Yuan Jie willed it and used the Clone Technique, creating a late-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal clone to remain behind.
It would both guard against intruders seeking to seize treasures and oversee the operation of the Heaven-Earth Origin-Returning Formation.
