In my cultivation journey, I completely crushed a group of chosen ones.

Di Qingci's eyes flashed with golden light, and then he pushed hard on the city gate, which creaked open.

Di Qingci was very surprised, thinking there was a seal.

As you enter the city, you'll find buildings arranged in a harmonious and orderly fashion, with magnificent palaces and exquisite pavilions.

The streets were bustling with pedestrians, some chatting and others trading, creating a lively atmosphere.

As if this was how it was supposed to be, Di Qingci walked carefully, keeping her eyes and ears open.

The pedestrians on the street seemed unaware of her presence as an outsider, continuing with their own busy lives.

As Di Qingci walked slowly, he suddenly heard a melodious tune.

The music was plaintive and sorrowful, as if telling an ancient story.

She followed the sound of music and came to a seemingly ordinary courtyard.

Pushing open the door, one sees an elderly man with white hair sitting in the courtyard playing a strange musical instrument.

The old man showed no surprise upon seeing Di Qingci, merely nodding slightly in acknowledgment.

The instrument in the old man's hand suddenly emitted a bright light, enveloping Di Qingci.

When the light faded, Di Qingci found herself in an unfamiliar space.

There was nothing but emptiness all around, with only a giant chessboard floating in the center.

The black and white chess pieces on the board shimmered with a mysterious light, as if they contained endless secrets.

Di Qingci approached the chessboard and discovered that the situation on the board was extremely complex, with each move seemingly affecting the entire space.

Just as she was lost in thought, a voice rang in her ear.

"This is a game of fate; your choices will determine your future."

Di Qingci immediately became interested. Whatever fate you have, I won't let others control my own destiny.

Di Qingci stood quietly before the mysterious chessboard, holding a chess piece in his hand.

His eyes were sharp as he stared intently at the incredibly complex situation on the chessboard.

Each square seems to hide endless mysteries, and every move seems to affect the subtle changes in the entire space.

Then, Di Qingci slowly extended her jade-like fingers and gently put down the chess piece in her hand.

The moment the chess piece touched the chessboard, a faint yet dazzling light flashed.

The surrounding space trembled slightly, as if the entire mysterious realm was responding to the mysterious power contained in this move.

At the same time, in the void opposite, an invisible yet powerful mysterious force seemed to respond swiftly.

A black piece landed silently, its landing point precise and sharp, like a razor blade.

It directly attacked the situation that Di Qingci had just set up, instantly making the situation tense and full of suspense.

Di Qingci frowned slightly, a thoughtful glint in her beautiful eyes.

She quickly focused all her attention, constantly calculating all possible changes in her mind and searching for a solution.

Di Qingci's eyes flashed like lightning as he quickly scanned the chessboard, not missing a single possible opportunity.

A moment later, her eyes narrowed, and she decisively placed another piece.

The moment that chess piece fell, it seemed to carry a resolute courage and an unwavering belief.

As the game progressed, the two sides traded blows, and the tense atmosphere permeated the entire space as if it were a tangible reality.

The light on the chessboard grew stronger and stronger, sometimes as dazzling as the sun.

Di Qingci kept calculating all the possible changes in his mind, looking for a chance to win.

However, the opponent does not seem to be showing any weakness either.

Every move he made perfectly neutralized Di Qingci's offensive while simultaneously creating new troubles for her.

The mysterious black pieces seemed to possess their own life and wisdom, engaging in a fierce contest with Di Qingci's white pieces on the chessboard.

Time ticked by, and this battle of fates entered its most intense phase.

Just as she was lost in thought, suddenly, an inspiration flashed through her mind like lightning.

Without hesitation, Di Qingci placed the chess piece steadily in that position.

Instantly, a burst of intense light erupted from the chessboard, and the entire space seemed to be shaken by this powerful force.

Wherever the light reached, everything seemed to stand still, and time itself seemed to freeze at that moment.

A moment later, the light gradually faded.

The mysterious voice rang in her ears again: "Young people are full of energy and have a never-give-up spirit. I, an old man, am completely impressed."

Di Qingci stood up: "Senior, why did you bring me here?"

Di Qingci's figure flickered and landed in the courtyard again.

The old man sighed and said, "Young friend, I used to be the city lord here."

One day, I noticed that the people in the city were acting strangely; their behavior was unlike that of normal humans.

I sent people down to investigate, and they were shocked to find that there were many such strange humans.

I realized the seriousness of the problem and summoned all the great beings to investigate.

I only learned that there was a demon race, the Blood Spirit Clan and the Parasite Clan.

When the Blood Spirit Clan cultivates to a certain level, they can assimilate humans with a drop of their blood, making humans obey them.

They equated humans with being their slaves.

Parasites can live on humans; they are like maggots, and once you get attached to them, it's very difficult to get rid of them.

It was the parasitism and assimilation of many powerful beings who were parasitized and assimilated by them.

We fought a great battle with them, and finally killed all the demons by sacrificing ourselves in the process.

The city dwellers you see are the obsessions of humanity; their souls have been trapped here for many years, repeating the scenes of yesteryear.

Many couldn't hold on any longer and vanished without a trace.

Later I learned that the demons had not died at all; they lived in a special space and could invade the human race at any time.

I am now reduced to a wisp of divine consciousness and can do nothing more.

I was just thinking that if someone could come in and play a game of chess with me, I would give them a chance.

I never expected that after all these years, it would be a little girl like you who comes."

Upon hearing the word "opportunity," Di Qingci asked, "Senior, what kind of opportunity is it?"

Yan Zhanhuang's voice rang in her mind: "He has lived for many years, he must have a lot of good things, spiritual medicine that is about to forge a divine body."
