He Who Obtains the Measuring Heaven Ruler: Zhang Gaoqiu

"There's one more thing. If you need me in the future, there's no need to yank my soul straight over. If you just send someone to give me a heads-up, would I dare not come? This is simply too damaging to my self-respect!" Tiger Strength Great Immortal's childish little face brimmed with grief and indignation. "This Old Ancestor has lived for tens of thousands of years, after all. Can't you show an old man some respect?"

Zhang Chen glanced at Tiger Strength Great Immortal, his gaze revealing a trace of indifference. "Hurry up and go. Just wait for my news."

It was impossible to tell whether Zhang Chen had agreed or not.

Now that the two had struck a deal, Tiger Strength Great Immortal turned into a streak of light and departed, leaving Zhang Chen standing where he was, silently watching his retreating figure.

Tiger Strength Great Immortal's power may not be impossible to borrow in the future. Zhang Chen secretly calculated. But if I want Tiger Strength Great Immortal to obey, I'll need to use the Animal Path's reincarnation to help him recover his cultivation, then take the chance to make some moves. So my most urgent task now is to take away the Animal Path's reincarnation. It is suppressed beneath the Measuring Heaven Ruler. I wonder whether my Measuring Heaven Ruler can open the space leading underneath the Exquisite Pagoda.

Zhang Chen pondered for quite some time before using an escape technique and vanishing from the spot. When he reappeared, he was already back in his own courtyard, devotedly meditating and cultivating.

When dawn came the next day, Zhang Chen used his escape technique to arrive at Chongzheng Academy. He revealed himself at the foot of the mountain, which was also a sign of respect toward the academy.
