Mo Qi was in no hurry to leave from Within the Pass.
For one, he truly needed to set up the Teleportation Array. For another, his External Incarnation was handling things on the outside, so there were no major issues for the time being. And finally, it was safest for his main body to remain here and ride out its period of weakness.
Besides, with the two of them acting separately, his main body could step back and observe the Empire from an outsider's perspective, making it easier for him to plan his subsequent actions.
Setting up a two-way Teleportation Array to connect the world Within the Pass to the one outside was an incredibly complex task. It was a massive undertaking and came at a considerable cost.
Fortunately, Mo Qi had plenty of treasures and materials on hand. After all, he had plundered an immense amount of wealth from both the Void Sect and from Within the Pass.
