Half a month later, Ling Yun and his group arrived at the gate of Huoxiang City.

The moment I stood at the city gate, a rich floral fragrance wafted towards me—not just one kind of fragrance, but a blend of all the world's floral scents.

It smells so pleasant that it makes you forget all your troubles.

Everyone saw that the people entering and leaving Huoxiang City all had genuine smiles of joy on their faces.

Lingyun speculated that after the Flower Goddess Empress fell, all the flowers in the world flocked in to pay tribute to her, thus ensuring her lasting fame.

"This is what true lasting fame looks like!"

Ling Yun sighed and spoke. He had immense respect for the Empress. After hearing her story, he felt an urge to follow her and fight alongside her.

Abao pointed at the map and laughed:

"Huoxiang City is known for its beautiful women. It is said that every woman born in Huoxiang City is beautiful, not one of them is ugly."

Upon hearing this, Qiongqi patted the Golden Lion on the shoulder and said earnestly:

"Brother Lion! It's time to think about your marriage. There are some nice women in Fire Fragrance City. Pick one! I'll be your matchmaker!"

The golden lion rolled its eyes at him and said angrily:

Why don't you let the Great Sage consider his marriage?

Qiongqi said seriously:

"Doesn't the Great Sage have Fairy Zixia?"

The Great Sage rubbed his forehead and said speechlessly:

"Let me reiterate: I, no, I, this ape, do not know any Fairy Zixia. Please stop using this joke!"

"Forgiveness is fabricated!" Qiongqi placed his hand on the Great Sage's shoulder and said earnestly:

"Great Sage, it's time to consider your marriage, especially in Fire Incense City..."

The Great Sage rolled his eyes at him, shouldered his staff, and walked into the city, not wanting to listen to Qiongqi's nonsense.

The group exchanged smiles and entered the City of Fire Incense.

As expected, all the women in Huoxiang City were exceptionally beautiful, without a single flaw, and each of them was tall and had an outstanding temperament.

They are all like fairies.

Even the local monsters in Huoxiang City, as long as they are female, all look pretty.

Abao joked:

"Women from other places are too embarrassed to come to Huoxiang City, and they even forbid their husbands from coming to Huoxiang City, for fear that they will be seduced by the women of Huoxiang City."

Everyone chuckled, then found a shop that steamed acacia flowers, ready to have a good taste.

Huoxiang City is famous not only for steamed acacia flowers, but also for any flower-related food. However, steamed acacia flowers are considered the most delicious.

Soon, the steaming hot locust flowers were served, and as usual, Ling Shan tasted the dish.

"tasty!"

As soon as Ling Shan spoke, everyone immediately began scooping the steamed locust flowers into bowls and eating them like rice.

Tender and sweet, one bite and you'll remember it for a thousand years!

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, when it was time to pay the bill, Lingyun asked the innkeeper:

"Where does the fragrance of flowers in Huoxiang City come from?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said:

"To be honest, I don't know either. Anyway, as far back as I can remember, Huoxiang City has always been filled with the fragrance of flowers."

Even as far back as my grandfather can remember, no one knew where the fragrance came from.

A powerful figure once searched the entire city of Fire Fragrance but couldn't find the source of the fragrance.

Ling Yun nodded slightly, "Thank you, shopkeeper. I wish you a prosperous business!"

His words, "May your business prosper," are like divine law, and as long as the shop doesn't do anything that would anger both heaven and man, its business will continue to thrive.

Sure enough, not long after Ling Yun and his group left, the store was packed with people queuing up.

As for why he helped this store, there was no other reason than that Lingyun was in a good mood.

The fragrance of flowers could even affect the mood of this supreme immortal king.

Ling Yun and his group did not leave Huoxiang City, but spent a day sightseeing in the city and its suburbs.

That evening, in the inn, Lingyun and his group sat together, brewing tea and discussing the source of the flower fragrance.

The Great Sage's Way:

"We've searched every possible place in Huoxiang City today. My sharp eyes are practically burning, but we haven't found anything unusual."

After a pause, the Great Sage said in a deep voice:

"The more this is the case, the more suspicious it is!"

Qiongqi nodded and said:

"Yes, I sensed the auras left behind by many powerful figures, many of whom were great immortals. I even sensed the auras left behind by many members of the Primordial Clan."

Over the years, countless people must have come here seeking what the Empress left behind.

Everyone speculated that the Empress's treasures or even cultivation techniques must have been left here, but no one could deduce what they might be.

The fact that the Primordial Clan couldn't be found suggests that either they don't exist, or they are hiding very well.

"A treasure left behind by the Empress?" Lingxi pondered for a moment, resting her chin on her hand, then suddenly her seven-colored eyes lit up, and she exclaimed:

"Could it be a seed! The goddess, no, the empress, is a peony in her true form. If she wants to be reborn, she must return to the seed."

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.

Ling Yun said:

"It is highly likely that the Empress left behind a precious seed, which was found by later generations and replanted to achieve rebirth!"

Soon everyone was confused again: where could the seed be hidden?

The best way to hide in the world is through the Nine Netherworlds and the projection of the Guardian of All Things.

But they found neither of these.

Immediately, Ling Yun took out the Time Furnace and began time reversal.

When the image freezes, a blurry figure appears in the frame.

Although the person's face was not clearly visible, it was certain that she was a woman.

Across countless years, people can still feel the woman's unparalleled beauty and the aura of an empress who stands proudly above all ages.

"Stop looking! You've triggered the restriction! If you keep looking, I'm going to explode!"

"Time Furnace!" Ling Yun shouted, and he quickly turned back time, seeing that Immortal Emperor Haolin had come to this place to search for seeds.

Other supreme beings have also searched for it, and many of them used ancient magical artifacts but still could not find it.

The most recent instance was eight thousand years ago when the Buddha himself visited the mountain and stood there for a long time.

Upon seeing the mountain, Ling Yun felt a jolt; he had a premonition that the seed must be in that mountain.

Because the Buddha always planned carefully before acting, he would definitely conduct countless deductions and spend a great deal of effort to pinpoint the location.

"The seed is in that mountain, my intuition is right!"

After speaking, Ling Yun looked at Ling Xi. If this prophet also thought it was that place, then it was probably true.

Lingxi stared at the screen for a long time, then nodded her little head.

"I also think it's there!"

After saying that, Lingxi looked at Lin Moyu as if possessed, and said with a grin:

"Sister Moyu, could you be the reincarnation of the Empress?"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Lin Moyu. Lingxi never spoke carelessly; sometimes, her unconscious words were the truth.

Lin Moyu was slightly taken aback, then covered her mouth and laughed:

"How could that be? Apart from having double pupils, I'm nothing special. How could I possibly be the reincarnation of the great empress?"

Everyone else thought it was impossible; if the Empress were reincarnated, her talent would have to be unimaginably strong.

Lin Moyu is clearly far behind.

Lingxi squinted at Lin Moyu:

"You are the reincarnation of the Empress!"
