Despite the calls, the Four Symbols Venerable remained motionless, no different from an ordinary stone statue.
Looking up at the Four Symbols Venerable's tall figure, Tang Zheng let out a long sigh, recalling the scene of the battle at Mount Buzhou.
Saint King had turned the Four Symbols Venerable into such a state during the battle, so he must have hit the back door of the Four Symbols Venerable.
Then where exactly was this back door?
Tang Zheng looked left and right. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and exclaimed, "Oh right, I remember that when Saint King flew to the back of the Four Symbols Venerable's head, the Four Symbols Venerable immediately became like this. Could it be … that the back door is at the back of the head? "
With a tap of his toes, he soared into the air and landed on the Four Symbols Venerable's shoulder, concentrating on the back of the head.
He could not find any clues.
He was unwilling to give up. How could he let go of such a small clue that he had finally found?
He reached out his hand and felt around the back of the head. He was certain that the back door must be at this place.
Crack!
When his finger brushed past a place, a crisp sound rang out. He was overjoyed and hurriedly looked over.
A small door slowly opened. He had never noticed that there was a small door at the back of the Four Symbols Venerable's head. He could not help but be stunned.
Finally, his gaze gradually turned solemn as he muttered to himself, "Chi You never told me that the Four Symbols Venerable had such a back door. Hmph, as expected of a sly old fox."
He concentrated on looking inside the small door, but could not see anything except endless darkness.
He did not give up. With a snap of his fingers, purple True Fire emerged from his fingertips, attempting to illuminate everything inside the door.
However, the light of the True Fire could not penetrate the darkness. It was as if there was an invisible force binding the light of the True Fire.
"This …"
Tang Zheng was shocked. Even light could not penetrate the door. The inside of the door was too deep and unpredictable.
"This is abnormal. There must be something fishy."
Tang Zheng stared at the door with a burning gaze. It was too small for a person to squeeze in.
He hesitated for a moment, but still reached out his hand.
He did not feel anything inside the door. It was an empty space.
He withdrew his hand in disappointment.
Was he going to give up just like that?
The Four Symbols Venerable was of great use to him, and he was also the guardian of the Shaman Tribe. If he was crippled just like that, he would not be able to explain it to the Shaman Tribe.
"Never give up!"
He clenched his teeth and stared at the door. The deep darkness seemed to want to suck him in.
Suddenly …
A ray of light flashed through his mind like lightning, and he subconsciously blurted out, "The Primal Chaos Vajra Spell is the only sacred art that the Witch Clan cultivates, and has been passed down since ancient times. The other sacred arts have all been buried in the long river of history, so why is it that only the Primal Chaos Vajra Spell has been passed down?"
This question was like a stepping stone to the door, causing his eyes to gradually shine.
He pondered for a while, then extended his hand again. This time, he activated the Primal Chaos Vajra Spell, and his arm glowed with a metallic luster.
His Primal Chaos Vajra Spell had already been cultivated to the Great Perfection Realm, which was the Indestructible Body. Therefore, after circulating the Primal Chaos Vajra Spell, he once again boldly extended his hand through the small door.
Whoosh!
A powerful force wrapped around his hand, and a huge suction force enveloped him in an instant.
Before he could react, he cried out in alarm and started to spin rapidly. Like a spinning top, he was sucked into the small door.
However, he had no way of passing through such a small door.
However, the huge suction force firmly held onto him, causing his body to sink into the door bit by bit.
Crack crack!
His bones rubbed against each other, producing an ear-piercing sound. He let out a heart-wrenching scream, as if his body was about to be torn apart.
The Primal Chaos Vajra Spell immediately activated, resisting the tearing force and the pressure of the door.
In the end, his body actually shrank by several times. With a puff, he passed through the small door and entered the pitch-black space.
"This... If my Primal Chaos Vajra Spell had not been cultivated to the Indestructible Realm, then I would have definitely been crushed to pieces." He patted his chest with lingering fear.
"Ouch!"
He couldn't help but let out a blood-curdling scream. Although the Indestructible Body had saved his life, he was still injured.
All the bones in his body were squeezed out of shape, as if they were about to fall apart.
He took a deep breath and hurriedly circulated his Genuine Qi along his meridians, slowly nourishing his muscles and bones, causing them to return to their original position.
At his level of cultivation, this kind of injury was not enough to take his life. After some treatment, it would not be a big problem.
This was just like how the Hundred Faces Star Lord had lost a leg in the great battle of the Island nation, but after a period of recuperation, he had grown another leg.
It was not impossible for a cultivator to regenerate a broken leg.
Especially since the Hundred Faces Star Lord was good at changing. He could even change into tall, short, fat, and thin people, so it was not difficult for him to recover his broken leg.
Not long after, he finished healing his injuries and stared at the pitch-black space with wide eyes.
"I'm afraid this is like Xumi World, another space. Only the Primal Chaos Vajra Spell is the key to opening this space. Of course, if the Primal Chaos Vajra Spell had not been cultivated to the Indestructible Realm, there was no way to safely pass through that door. This condition is really harsh, I wonder who came up with it. "
Tang Zheng muttered to himself, his heart filled with questions.
The Four Symbols Venerable One had once obeyed Chi You's orders, and was Chi You's subordinate. Then, Chi You definitely knew about this door, and Saint King could not wait to take back the Four Symbols Venerable One. Could it be that the Four Symbols Venerable One had some great use?
Although the Four Symbols Venerable One was powerful, Chi You had a lot of elites under his command. Why would Saint King do everything he could to take back the Four Symbols Venerable One?
"The answer might be in this place."
Tang Zheng raised his eyes and looked ahead. Although he could not see his fingers, he chose a direction and walked forward.
His speed was very fast, and he was not worried about any traps. This space seemed to have no end, and he advanced for a long time without finding anything.
"Four Symbols Venerable One!" Tang Zheng stopped and roared, trying to communicate with the Four Symbols Venerable One again.
"Master." A voice suddenly rang out. This voice was very weak, but it was undoubtedly the voice of the Four Symbols Venerable One.
This voice had resounded in Tang Zheng's mind countless times, so he definitely did not mishear it.
He was overjoyed. He never thought that he would actually get a response to his call.
In the past, this voice had only resounded in his mind, but now, this voice was resounding in his ears.
"Four Symbols Venerable One, how can I save you?" Tang Zheng hurriedly asked.
"I'm trapped in the endless darkness. I can't go back," the Four Symbols Venerable said weakly.
"Do you know you have a back door?"
"I don't."
Tang Zheng was suddenly stunned. Even the Four Symbols Venerable did not know about the back door. It was too strange.
Could it be that this was a back door set up by Chi You that even the Four Symbols Venerable One did not know?
This was indeed a possibility.
No matter what the reason was, the most important thing was to save the Four Symbols Venerable One.
"The endless darkness. Could it be the darkness around me?" Tang Zheng looked around and asked in a low voice.
"Yes. You and I are actually very close, but I can't touch you, nor can I return to my own body. I've been banished to this endless darkness."
"Don't worry, I'll save you."
"Thank you, Master."
Tang Zheng spoke big words, but he was actually worried. How could he save the Four Symbols Venerable One when he was in the dark?
"I've been drifting here for a long time, and I'm getting weaker and weaker. I'm worried that if this goes on, I'll definitely vanish into thin air," the Four Symbols Venerable said weakly.
Tang Zheng's heart trembled. The Four Symbols Venerable One was a sacred artifact, so this voice was naturally the artifact spirit of the Four Symbols Venerable One.
Once the artifact spirit left the sacred artifact, it was equivalent to a person's soul leaving their body, becoming a wandering ghost.
The more time passed, the more the artifact spirit would be exhausted.
In the end, it would be difficult for the artifact spirit to return to the sacred artifact. Even if it did, the sacred artifact would probably be affected and its power would decrease.
Thinking of this, Tang Zheng's heart could not help but tense up.
He racked his brains.
Although the Four Symbols Venerable One did not know about the back door, this back door was obviously related to the Witch Clan's Chaotic Vajra Spell.
Why did Chi You set up a back door, set the key to the Chaotic Vajra Spell, and then hand it over to the Witch Clan?
"No, I might have been wrong. This back door might not have been set up by Chi You. Perhaps, it was set up by someone else."
"Four Symbols Venerable One, who created you?" Tang Zheng hurriedly asked.
"I don't know, but I've lived for a long time. I don't remember how long it has been." The Four Symbols Venerable One said in a daze.
"Then do you know Chi You?"
"Yes, I once fought for him. He was one of my former masters."
"What, one of the masters?" Tang Zheng's eyes flashed with a bright light, and he quickly and accurately grasped onto a key point.
"Wrong, all wrong!" he shouted from the bottom of his heart.
"You weren't created by Chi You?"
"No!"
Hearing this definite answer, Tang Zheng also understood in his heart that everything he had always known had been overturned.
The origins of the Four Symbols Venerable One were far more complicated than he had imagined. It was not created by Chi You, but an even more ancient existence.
This could explain why the key to the back door of the Four Symbols Venerable One was the Chaotic Vajra Spell. It was because this was not a back door that Chi You had set up, but one that already existed.
Perhaps, this could also explain why Chi You had only protected the Witch Clan when he was in danger, and did not care about the lives of the others.
The Four Symbols Venerable One was the guardian of the Witch Clan, and had a deep relationship with the Witch Clan. There was probably a mysterious connection between the two that Tang Zheng did not know about.
Chi You had schemed to kidnap the Witch Clan and also wanted to snatch away the Four Symbols Venerable One. From the looks of it, his intentions were too obvious.
He wanted to take both for himself. Other than the plan for the Savage Wasteland, he might have other plans.
"Chi You, oh Chi You, you are truly a cunning old fox." Tang Zheng sighed.
"Four Symbols Venerable One, since you know that Chi You was once your master, why did you follow me and not him?"
"My current master is you. I only listen to your orders." The Four Symbols Venerable One replied without hesitation.
This made Tang Zheng secretly happy.
After experiencing the betrayal of the War Soul Sword and the matter of it being taken away, Tang Zheng became even more vigilant.
Chi You was the best at burying thunder and leaving behind a backup plan. If he was not careful, he would fall into the other party's trap.
