Although the Light Saintess was soft-hearted, she was hard-spoken and extremely resolute. She told Tang Yunqing she wouldn't tell him anything, so she really didn't tell him anything. During the journey to the Guangming Clan's territory, she barely listened to Tang Yunqing and Ye Luyao, and the scene was quite embarrassing for a while.
Time passed, and a week passed in the blink of an eye.
As the group drew closer and closer to the Guangming Clan's territory, the holy qi and light elements in the air gradually became thinner. Sensing this change, Tang Yunqing and Ye Luyao couldn't help but look at the Light Saintess, but the Light Saintess was expressionless and gave no indication.
On this day, as Mingguang slowly advanced, it seemed as if something suddenly penetrated. Tang Yunqing and Ye Luyao looked at the Light Saintess for the first time, and the latter stood with a calm expression.
When Mingguang broke through the barrier, the two also acutely sensed the object, like a faint curtain of water. After the curtain of water, the color of the sea changed from pale gold to golden yellow. The sky was blue and cloudless, and at the end of his line of sight, a boundless coastline was faintly visible.
"This is Paradise Island?"
Tang Yunqing's eyes widened slightly and he asked with some surprise.
"Hmm."
The Light Saintess nodded.
Paradise Island was said to be an island, but it was actually the size of a small continent. The Guangming clan had lived in seclusion on it for generations and rarely communicated with the outside world.
If Sacred Chenghai was the closest place to the sun of the Falan Star, then Paradise Island was the closest place to Sacred Chenghai's sun. Therefore, the divine power and light elements here should far exceed those of other places. However, Tang Yunqing keenly noticed that after they entered Paradise Island, the divine power and light elements contained in the air actually diminished greatly.
"What happened to Paradise Island?" Tang Yunqing turned to look at the Saintess. Seeing that her expression was as usual, and she had no intention of answering his question, he continued to observe.
Tang Yunqing soon discovered that the sun on Paradise Island seemed to be a circle larger than the sun outside, but the temperature was lower than the Sacred Clear Sea, and it was relatively peaceful.
"Huh?"
As he stared at the sun, he noticed that the space seemed to show signs of creases and folds, and there was a sense of distortion. "That makes sense."
Tang Yunqing suddenly realized that although Sacred Chenghai and Paradise Island were special, since they were on the Blue Star, their distance from the sun should be the same as anywhere else, being affected by the spatial distortion was completely normal.
Before arriving at Paradise Island, Tang Yunqing and the others passed several small islands, where many Guangming tribesmen were stationed, all of whom were women, without exception.
Regarding this, Tang Yunqing had long learned from the Sea Dragon Tribe's library that the Guangming Clan had no males; they were parthenogenetic, reproducing by absorbing divine power to give birth to the next generation, ensuring that all offspring possessed the purest divine physique. It was precisely because of their special physique that they were favored by the sun and divine power and became one of the top races on the Blue Star.
However, even though the Guangming people only had women, they still had love, pure love between women.
When the Guangming garrisons on several small islands discovered Tang Yunqing and the others, they immediately launched an attack. Fortunately, the Guangming Saints had prepared in advance and sent a signal to them, preventing the Mingguang from sinking.
As the Mingguang passed these islands, all the Guangming people looked at them with hostility and curiosity.
The reason for their curiosity was her.
The Guangming people had lived in seclusion on Paradise Island all year round, and most of the clansmen had never seen a human before, let alone a man.
The Mingguang sailed slowly and finally docked at the harbor of a port city.
When Tang Yunqing disembarked, he felt thousands of eyes staring at him, which made him a little embarrassed. After all, the owners of this lineage were all women. Ye Luyao, beside him, sensed Tang Yunqing's discomfort and discomfort and couldn't help but snort softly, feeling a sense of arrogance.
As soon as they disembarked, several members of the Guangming clan came to the Guangming Saintess's side, whispering to her, occasionally glancing at Tang Yunqing to check on Ye Luyao.
Most of these Guangming people were feminine and wore long skirts, while some were masculine, preferring to wear armor and short hair. Their gazes at Tang Yunqing varied, some containing provocative intent, some provocative, and some contemptuous.
Tang Yunqing and Ye Luyao didn't speak or contact them, so they boarded the carriage led by the Light Saintess.
In fact, it was a flying carriage.
The white horse pulling the carriage had a pair of large wings, and the gentle flaps created a powerful air current, supporting the carriage as it soared into the sky. Compared to the Blue Domain, Paradise Island wasn't very large, but it had dozens of cities. The patriarch of the Guangming clan lived in the "Holy City" year-round. It took about two days to fly from this port city to the Holy City.
"Is this white horse rare?"
Tang Yunqing sat in the carriage, but his thoughts were fixed on the winged white horse. Although the territory was vast, its resources were extremely sparse, with only horses available, making communication between cities extremely inconvenient. So he desperately hoped to bring back some special means of transportation for the region.
"It's common, but this Pegasus requires divine power to fly and a fragment of a holy elemental stone to grow." The Holy Maiden of Light knew what Tang Yunqing was thinking.
The implication was that he shouldn't have played with the Pegasus.
Tang Yunqing was a little disappointed upon hearing this. He immediately withdrew his gaze and looked down from the sky, wanting to learn more about Paradise Island.
Paradise Island was indeed worthy of being the core of the Sacred Clear Sea. Tang Yunqing saw several peaks formed entirely of sacred elements during his flight, exuding powerful divine power. Most of the trees also possessed sacred auras. These stones and trees possessed protection and law domains. They were clearly priceless treasures. The former could benefit the cultivation of a judge, while the latter could be crafted into weapons. But on Paradise Island, these were merely mountains and trees that could be seen everywhere, not to mention the true treasures of genius.
No wonder the Guangming Clan provided most of the materials and assistance for refining the "Pearl of Sacred Light." Tang Yunqing couldn't help but sigh.
Tang Yunqing's gaze had just shifted from the several peaks shining with golden light when he suddenly saw a plain in the distance. On it, large white cloths were densely placed, neatly arranged towards the sun, so numerous that they couldn't be seen at a glance.
"What's that?"
Tang Yunqing and Ye Luyao's attention was drawn to the white cloths, and they couldn't help but ask.
Now it was the Holy Maiden of Light's turn to be surprised. She turned her head and glanced at the two of them, saying, "Aren't you here to borrow the Doomsday Talisman? That's the Doomsday Talisman."
"..."
Tang Yunqing and Ye Luyao looked at each other and fell silent.
They had indeed come to borrow the Doomsday Talisman, but they didn't know what it looked like, and the Dragon Ancestor hadn't told them specifically.
No wonder the Dragon Ancestor said that although the Doomsday Talisman was the foundation of the Light Demon Clan, it wasn't that important... That was too much!
There were tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of doomsday talismans on the plain in front of them alone!
According to the Dragon Ancestor, the Doomsday Talisman absorbed the power of the divine sun day and night, so wouldn't the energy accumulated by hundreds of thousands of Doomsday Talismans over the years be limitless?
While Tang Yunqing was shocked and Ye Luyao was slightly surprised, the Pegasus slowly flew over the plains and entered the mountainous region.
Not long after entering the mountainous region, the two saw another large basin. From the sky, the basin resembled a crater, forming a semicircle. This time, the basin was densely covered with Doomsday Talismans, more than the ones on the plains just now, forming an eye-like shape, facing the sun ahead.
There were many similar places, and in the following time, Tang Yunqing and Ye Luyao could often see fragments of Doomsday Talismans, their numbers ranging from the initial hundreds of thousands to millions or even tens of millions.
The two were shocked at first, and then they became curious: what was the energy that so many Doomsday Talismans were gathering and using? Then another thought occurred to them. How much Doomsday Talisman energy would be needed to restore the Sea Dragon Ball to a certain level?
"Huh..."
Tang Yunqing let out a long sigh. He knew that if he asked the Holy Maiden of Light about these things, she wouldn't tell him, so he could only wait until he saw Patriarch Guangming before asking.
Over time, Tang Yunqing gradually became accustomed to the plains and basins formed by the Apocalypse Talisman and was no longer so shocked. However, he still couldn't help but stare at them. When he and Ye Luyao emerged from their complex emotions and looked at the Apocalypse Talisman again, they immediately discovered a problem.
Logically speaking, these Apocalypse Talismans should be constantly absorbing the divine power of the sun, but why didn't the two of them sense any fluctuations in divine power within the plains and basins? When Tang Yunqing examined them with his Exploratory Eye, he discovered that most of the Apocalypse Talismans lacked divine power and light elements, with only a few passing through rapidly.
"This..."
The two were shocked and looked at the Holy Maiden of Light, who remained unmoved.
Meanwhile, a huge shadow suddenly appeared on the ground below.
Because the incident had happened too suddenly, Tang Yunqing and Ye Luyao were stunned, thinking it was an illusion. However, they quickly realized that it wasn't an illusion, as a city in the sky had suddenly appeared above the sky!
This city was shaped like a peak, and on the upper platform, there was a city with densely packed buildings.
Tang Yunqing thought that this was a city built by the Guangming Clan, and he felt incredibly incredible. What kind of power could support an island and a city floating in the air? The Bright Tribe was indeed worthy of being the top race of the Blue Star France.
But when he turned around, he inadvertently saw that the Light Saint actually harbored great hatred for the city in the sky.
It was too obvious, hatred written all over his face.
