After that more elders were captured, but they were all from the emptiness realm and there was no one else from the emperor's realm, after Sword Sect ended the infiltration elimination this year's tournament was over again.
The next tournament would probably be one of the largest in history and the whole divine plane would participate in that tournament, it was also a chance that many of the organization's infiltrators would be killed and the divine plane would become cleaner again.
For that to happen Zhang Yi was very important to Sword Sect and the whole continent, so now it was certain that Sword Sect would accept Zhang Yi's condition and even if they became enemies of the Sacred Phoenix Sect would still force elder Su Lian to come to the next tournament.
So Zhang Yi was closer to his goal to find out what happened to his master Feng Ran, he had to figure out how he could figure out Su Lian's motives for doing what she did and betraying her husband's trust.
If he was strong enough with all the laws he had he could capture her and soul-search her and find out everything he wanted without killing her or hurting her, but then he would practically be dead after that.
Zhang Yi would have to find another way to find out the truth that didn't involve a risky plan that he could die in 5 years unless he used the distorted timeline he couldn't get strong enough and if he used it was the same as revealing that he had advanced understanding in the laws of time.
After the end of the tournament, the sects returned to gather various elders and eliminate the organization's infiltrators in their sect, after two tournaments everyone was confident that most of the organization's infiltrators in the cult had been eliminated.
When they returned one of the ninth-level elders of the emperor's realm became the new leader of this territory while elder Wang would follow Zhang Yi and elder Lu not following their missions with the sect.
This was allowed when Sword Sect argued that Sword Sect territories were in danger after they began to find the infiltrators of the soul-eater organization in the other sects.
It was true that Sword Sect was the biggest enemy of this organization now and also the divine plane's greatest ally to destroy that organization, not to mention that Sword Sect was a just sect and so the other sects knew that a stronger elder would not do so any harm to the other sects.
Yet this was a secret from the other sects because they were afraid the organization's infiltrators would know this after all this could be a chance to capture more members of the soul eater's organization.
When they returned to Elder Lu's sect territory, they were still in isolation to reach the fourth level in advanced understanding of water laws, since the difference from the initial level to the intermediate level was normal for this to take longer.
After that elder Lu would be much stronger using the laws of the water element, the laws of space were not used to attack, and yet with a supreme understanding beyond speeding cultivators usually needed other laws to fight.
Generally, very special and powerful laws such as the laws of time, space, light, darkness, and others that could be used to distort natural laws at the highest levels were not used to attack.
But if someone knew well how to use it, they could become stronger by using these laws than by using other laws, such as elder Wang who was too quick and unpredictable in a fight and Zhang Yi who could use the laws of time to slow down the reaction of those enemies at the most important moments of a fight.
So geniuses like Zhang Yi, his masters, elder Lu, and others who could have several laws on the same level were far more powerful than others in strife, so Zhang Yi decided to help elder Lu strengthen his understanding of the laws of her water also for her to become stronger.
If it was in another situation elder Lu could refuse Zhang Yi's help, but he was teaching her indirectly by showing the supreme understanding of the laws of water, that kind of help was something many did not have in their lifetime and even though she had a master she could not often see her master using the laws of space.
With Zhang Yi she could see every day if she wanted to, it was the same situation that Zhang Yi's wives had, as they could learn from Zhang Yi whenever they wanted to understand their laws was very strong and increasing rapidly.
After a few weeks Zhang Yi had received the answer he wanted from the Sword Sect elders, elder Wang told him that the Sword Sect elders had accepted the condition he had given and had already sent the 'invitation' to e elder Su Lian of Sacred Phoenix Sect.
It was certain that she would come in this situation otherwise Sacred Phoenix Sect could become the enemy of the whole divine plane because Sword Sect said that if she did not come the tournament would not be held, Sacred Phoenix Sect had no alternative but to accept.
With that Zhang Yi had one less problem to think about and just had to focus on cultivating and trying to find a way to find out her reasons, when Zhang Yi planned to cultivate again he received unexpected information from the elder Wang.
"Zhang Yi I have a mission that you who like challenges might love to do, usually this is a very difficult mission that can take many years and many deaths, but in your case, I think it will be easy."
"What mission is this elder Wang?"
"It's a traditional mission from the various Divine Plane sects, I thought of you for this mission because neither me nor elder Lu could go with you anyway and Elder Lu is still in isolated cultivation."
"I don't know if you've heard of the mumbles?"
Zhang Yi did not expect Elder Wang to talk about the underlings, so he understood what this mission was because the underworld was one of the places where he suffered the most and was near death in this life.
"Yes, elder Wang, I know what it is, in fact, I already destroyed an underworld when I was on my continent before coming to the divine plane, I almost died several times and it took me years to leave."
Elder Wang was really surprised by this, he knew how difficult it was to destroy an underworld, and even the sects sending several disciples of the soul-realm and mortal tribulation still had many deaths and took too long.
And Zhang Yi was saying that he had destroyed one on his continent, meaning that Zhang Yi had saved his continent from destruction, Elder Wang believed because he knew how talented Zhang Yi was.
