228: Chapter 228 I Won't Wait Any Longer

She was now only a single step away from that legendary realm that belonged solely to Transcendent Heroic Spirits.

At this moment, let alone the Jiang Family...

In the entire Great Xia martial arts world (excluding a few Transcendent Heroic Spirits)...

One could not find a single person worthy of being called her opponent.

Furthermore, as the number one martial artist of Great Xia's younger generation, she could clearly feel it.

The power within her body was fundamentally different from that of an ordinary peak Twelfth Stage cultivator.

Reincarnation had added a touch of mysterious karmic aura to her cultivation.

Do not look down on this seemingly inconspicuous karmic aura.

In battle, a slight shift in destiny is enough to influence the entire outcome.

Moreover, the quality of her spiritual power had received a massive boost.

The purity and power of the spiritual qi currently in her body were so high that even she felt alarmed.

"Memory Awakening?"

"It's actually the legendary 'Memory Awakening'."

Jiang Luoli raised her hand, feeling the majestic power flowing in her palm, a flash of realization crossing her eyes.

She happened to have heard of this method of superpower awakening within the Huayu Society.

Most superpower awakeners in the High Martial Era only possess a talent to step onto the path of cultivation at the moment of awakening.

As for the path to becoming a powerhouse, they must walk it themselves.

Even so, martial artists in this era are enough to become the focus of public attention and objects of envy.

But Memory Awakeners are the martial artists among martial artists, the geniuses among geniuses.

They do not gain new abilities because of this.

Rather, they awaken the memories and source power of a powerful past life that lay dormant in the depths of their soul.

Once awakened...

Their cultivation, realm, and comprehension of heaven and earth will advance by leaps and bounds.

Their strength will receive an immense boost in an instant that others would find difficult to achieve even after decades of bitter cultivation.

And there are almost no bottlenecks.

Throughout history, there have been very few clearly recorded 'Memory Awakeners'.

But every single one eventually became a titan who commanded the winds and clouds, influencing an entire era.

She, Jiang Luoli, was one of them.

What had awakened was the life of Jiang Li, the last Queen of the Yin Shang Dynasty.

Along with that destiny and providence of a Phoenix Descending upon the World.

Interestingly, Jiang Li's past life actually had no cultivation.

However, after the reincarnation awakening, it had instead pushed Jiang Luoli's cultivation to the peak.

*Crack.*

A crisp sound rang out.

It was the electronic shackles on her wrist used to suppress spiritual power and track her location.

That restriction, which was enough to trap an ordinary Tenth Realm powerhouse, was as fragile as a child's toy before her current sea-like cultivation.

Jiang Luoli didn't even use a trace of spiritual power.

Relying solely on her physical strength, she easily shattered them.

Immediately following that, including the multiple spiritual power seals attached to the door...

All the restrictions the Jiang Family had set up to keep her under house arrest...

Before this powerful force...

They all silently disintegrated and crumbled one after another.

Jiang Luoli didn't even spare a glance at the wide-open door and the twisted bars.

She looked down at the extremely seductive skirt she was wearing.

She slightly tilted her head up.

Her gaze seemed to penetrate the heavy roof and the deep night, casting toward an unknown distance.

There, was the person she would cross the cycle of life and death to find again.

"In this life..."

"This Queen will no longer wear those conventional, rule-bound formal dresses."

"What my husband likes... isn't it exactly this look?"

"Su Chen..."

"My King."

"My... husband."

Her red lips parted slightly, her voice very soft.

In her past life, Queen Jiang had been too fond of maintaining her dignity as a Princess of the Jiang State and the Queen of Yin Shang.

She could never let go of her status.

That was why she eventually allowed Su Chen to be led away by Su Daji.

"In this life, I woke up earlier than you, and I found you faster than you could find me."

"Regardless of whether you have remembered me or not."

"Regardless of whether you still remember the little princess who peeked at you by the Luo River, the Queen who waited for you in the inner palace, or the Jiang Li who followed you into the sea of fire..."

"You are mine."

"You can only be mine."

In her past life, the cultivation-less Queen Jiang could only watch silently, enduring and exercising restraint.

In the end, she followed him to her death.

In this life, since she had already awakened her memories and reclaimed her power, she would never repeat the same mistakes.

She would take the initiative to attack and hold him firmly in her hands.

Accompanying him day and night.

What he owed her in their past life, what should have belonged to her...

She would reclaim it all, with interest.

As for those women who were also eyeing him like tigers...

Jiang Luoli's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.

A hint of a sense of crisis grew in her eyes.

She recalled the three incredibly powerful Transcendent Heroic Spirits at the Heroic Spirit Contract Ceremony who were determined to have Su Chen.

If those three were still in the Thirteenth Realm...

Before, she could only be a bystander, but now she at least had the qualification to sit at the table.

Although she was not their match, those three Transcendent Heroic Spirits wouldn't be able to do anything to her either.

Furthermore, she was almost certain.

Although Su Chen was taken away by the three women that day, they definitely hadn't managed to 'eat' him yet.

Jianghai City was located at the confluence of the Yangtze River and the East Sea.

A new monster exceeding the Thirteenth Realm had appeared on the East Sea.

It was said that the three Transcendent Heroic Spirits had long been dealing with this matter on the East Sea; those who appeared at the Heroic Spirit Contract Ceremony were merely incarnations.

Not to mention them, even Jiang Luoli's parents and grandfather had already been conscripted to go there.

So for now, those three women were not the biggest threat yet.

Su Chen must also still be staying in the mystic realm alone.

For her, the biggest opponent right now...

Was that enchanting woman she had seen alone in the mystic realm that day, who had given her some benefits but later did not appear before Su Chen.

Su Daji.

Thinking back, Jiang Luoli had felt that the other party's aura was naturally seductive to the bone, giving her an extremely familiar yet dangerous feeling.

That's right. The Demon Consort who stole away most of the King's favor in the past life, yet ultimately ended his life with her own hands...

She had also been living in this world all along.

And her strength was much greater than her current self.

When she entered the mystic realm that day, although she hadn't recovered her memories yet, the other party must have already recognized her.

Otherwise, Su Daji wouldn't have followed the 'agreement' from their past life to give her some pointers and teach her some methods to 'seduce' Su Chen.

The only thing worth celebrating was...

That day, before the 'shuraba' occurred, she had left early.

She didn't seem to have set her sights on Su Chen yet.

The information gap was her only way to win.

"In our past life, I couldn't compete with you."

"In this life..."

The corners of Jiang Luoli's mouth curled into a cold and confident arc.

"I am no longer that Jiang Li who could only guard the title of 'Queen' and endure in silence."

"In this life, my cultivation has reached the peak of this world, and my Phoenix Destiny has already awakened."

"You want to snatch him away again?"

"Just try it."

She couldn't wait any longer.

If Su Daji discovered Su Chen, based on her understanding of that vixen's disposition in their past life, she would definitely use any means necessary to entangle herself with him.

Even more so, having experienced the stimulation of Su Chen's layout in his past life...

It wasn't impossible that the current Su Daji would completely blacken and snatch Su Chen away to imprison him in a place no one knew about.

She had to get to Su Chen's side immediately.

Before he could possibly awaken his memories.

Mark him as her own property first.

(Sorry brothers, an old classmate came over for drinks today, so I got home very late. I was a bit lightheaded while writing these two chapters. If there are any bugs or typos, please @ me, and I'll fix them once I'm sober QWQ.)
