Chapter 1283: Rampant Pillaging Of Resources

"The Jade Fountain is just up ahead!" a cultivator shouted as he led a group over, rushing through the woods before arriving at a lake, or at least, that was what it should have been. 

At present, the lake had gone missing. As for the Jade Fountain that had existed in its center, it had been plundered. Judging by the perfect means as to how the laws in the surroundings remained unaffected, the thief was an expert in stealing. 

They then arrived beside a man who gazed at the empty lake with an ashen face, asking, "Brother, what happened here?"

"I'm…still unsure," the ashen-faced man said after a while, still failing to return to reality. "I was the first to come here. I thought I would use the Jade Fountain to gain some strength. But suddenly, a shadow rushed past me. By the time I managed to react, it had turned out like this."

"Are you lying, brother?" The other cultivator rolled his eyes in response. "How is it possible to steal something so big so quickly? And to remove it so cleanly without damaging anything, you'll have to make a lot of preparations."

"Then, how do you explain this?" The man's fingers trembled as he pointed at the empty lake. "Word of the Jade Fountain quickly spread around. If I had taken it, people would have been chasing after me by now."

He then pointed at some cultivators that were scattered around the lake and continued, "Look at the others. They too had seen the same."

"Forget it. Let's search for another treasure." The group of cultivators sighed before rushing towards another location. There were countless treasures at this place, after all.

Once they left, the ashen-faced man smirked as he condensed the portal to the subspace as all the surrounding cultivators entered it and vanished. He then calmly began to rush in another direction.

Similar scenes began to happen everywhere.

"I'm done with that. Where's the next one?" Sterlena asked, cracking her knuckles. "Your subspace is super convenient to steal stuff."

"My clones are arriving at another location now," Krune said before nodding in response. "We've arrived there."

"Alright, give me a moment." Sterlena smiled as she entered the subspace that entered the body of a clone before a portal opened, allowing her to exit. The moment she exited the subspace, she observed her surroundings, determining the laws that were at the place as she involved her ability. 

Balance Laws!

The treasure she was aiming for cleanly extracted itself from the ground as she added countless restrictions over it, sealing it up while shrinking it, using the laws of space. Once it was made small enough, she sent it into the subspace, also entering it as the clones vacated the area, morphing their appearances and aura before heading towards another location. 

Soon, news of this spread throughout the group of cultivators moving through the subspace as countless cultivators became alert. But even if they did, nothing changed as someone among them suddenly stepped forward, creating a portal through which Sterlena arrived, stole the item while they made their escape by dropping out a disposable clone. 

Soon after, the clones dispersed to more unexplored regions, working Sterlena to the bone. Though, thanks to the Cultivation Lotus, she had more than enough Godly Energy to rely upon, taking a break from time to time before working nonstop. 

The number of items they began to steal exploded in number. Even though countless enemies were created as a result, Krune didn't seem to care, only focusing on gathering as many resources as needed so that the Mountain Sect would have enough to nurture elites to go against their enemies. 

Plus, the treasures in the infant supercontinent were precious enough for even Primal Gods to be drool after, not to mention the rest. For those that were vast fields with specialized laws, Krune didn't target them, for they couldn't be taken away so easily. 

Sterlena would have to be at the Primal God Realm before she would be able to affect such vast places. So, in the end, their targets were smaller habitats. 

But, that didn't mean they were ignoring the large habitats that produced treasures. Krune left a clone there to do all the work by relying upon his large Divine Sense. 

Just as how there was a clone constantly collecting drops in the Reverse Rainfall, there were clones in every place of importance, collecting the treasures stealthily while storing them in a storage ring. 

When they had collected enough, the subspace would appear in their bodies for a moment as they would place the storage rings within. This way, Krune was accumulating riches at a rapid rate. 

Within the subspace, a bunch of clones were forging items nonstop using the materials acquired, rapidly raising his attainment with forging. 

Forging items, making pills, creating formations, and even drawing talismans, Krune's clones were doing them all. There was also one cooking as Krune was truly making use of his clones. At his current stage, he could fragment Little Krune into thousands, allowing him to possess a thousand clones. 

Among them, a hundred solely spent meditating, comprehending the various laws that formed the subspace, working in increasing its size. Another hundred worked with the Cultivation Lotus, tempering it with tribulation lightning constantly.

And finally, there was another batch of hundred clones that were comprehending the Law Deity Cores to increase their comprehension. 

The only reason he was able to maintain all this was thanks to Mental Energy. As it was an energy of the mind, it bore all the mental load with such multitasking involving a thousand clones. 

Every second, each clone consumed a significant amount of Mental Energy to sustain the calculations required to process everything that they were doing. They primarily relied upon the Cultivation Lotus for that. 

By absorbing the Godly Energy it emitted, they converted that into Mental Energy to sustain themselves. Adding onto the Godly Energy needs of Sterlena that was moving massive areas into the subspace one after another, the energy production barely kept up. 

Sometimes, Krune had to stop the clones just so that Sterlena would have enough Godly Energy to recover, for her task was of the utmost importance. Hindering her would mean hindering their plan. 

"This guy… is a training monster.." Sterlena teared up, laughing aloud as she cheered at the clones, from time to time making them assume wisp forms as she snuggled with them, healing her mind as she used them as pillows to take a nap occasionally.
