Chapter 129 Star Reacher
Li Qiankun stood in the center of the secret room, his gaze fixed on the shimmering ancient stone tablet in front of him. His heart was filled with anticipation and nervousness, for just moments before, he had accidentally triggered a secret inheritance passed down through generations of the Zhuge family.
As a deep, distant chime echoed through the secret chamber, the light from the stone tablet grew increasingly dazzling, seemingly illuminating the entire space. Li Qiankun felt a warm, powerful force emanating from the stone tablet, instantly flooding his body, shocking and electrifying every inch of his skin and every cell. This force was none other than the Zhuge family's unique skill, the Star-Picking Hand, passed down through generations.
"The Star-Picking Hand, with the power of heaven and earth, plucks the stars in the palm of your hand. It can break all laws and defend against all enemies." The ancient words on the stone tablet echoed in Li Qiankun's mind. Along with these words, streams of information poured into his sea of consciousness like a tide. It was the practice method and application method of the Star-Picking Hand, as well as the comprehension and experience of the ancestors of all generations on this unique skill.
As the light gradually faded, Li Qiankun slowly opened his eyes, his gaze gleaming with unprecedented determination and confidence. He clenched his fists, feeling the power within him that seemed to shake the heavens and earth, and an indescribable excitement surged in his heart.
Meanwhile, in a corner of the secret room, Zhuge Qing's father, Zhuge Yunhe, was watching this scene in shock. As the patriarch of the Zhuge family, he was well aware of the preciousness and power of the Star-Picking Hand, and understood the significance of this inheritance. He had never imagined that an outsider, a young man who had come to the Zhuge family by chance, could actually trigger this inheritance. This was undoubtedly a gift from heaven to the Zhuge family, and a recognition of Li Qiankun.
"Qiankun, you... you really triggered the inheritance of the Star-Picking Hand?" Zhuge Yunhe's voice trembled slightly, showing both surprise and worry about the unknown.
Li Qiankun turned around and bowed deeply to Zhuge Yunhe, saying gratefully, "Thank you, Senior, for your guidance and trust, which has given me the opportunity to receive this precious inheritance. I, Li Qiankun, will not let this power down. I will do my best for the Zhuge family and this world."
Zhuge Yunhe looked at Li Qiankun's sincere and resolute eyes and couldn't help but feel a surge of admiration. He knew that a person's strength depended not only on their skills but also on their character and convictions. Li Qiankun's tenacity and commitment were precisely what the Zhuge family valued.
"Qiankun, you don't need to be so polite. You are destined to be with the Zhuge family, and this inheritance is what you deserve. Moreover, I can see that you are a responsible and wise person. I believe that you will be able to go further and fly higher on the road ahead." Zhuge Yunhe's words were full of expectations and trust in Li Qiankun.
The two smiled at each other, as if at that moment, their hearts were already tightly connected. Afterwards, Zhuge Yunhe invited Li Qiankun to visit the Zhuge family's heritage site, allowing him to gain a deeper understanding of the Zhuge family's history and culture, as well as those unique skills and magic weapons that once held such great glory.
Under Zhuge Yunhe's guidance, Li Qiankun traveled through the Zhuge family's secret rooms and library. Every time he arrived, he could feel the Zhuge family's profound heritage and long history. He couldn't help but feel a sense of awe, and at the same time, he was more determined to contribute his strength to the Zhuge family.
Meanwhile, Zhuge Qing's emotions were incredibly complex. She had originally believed that, as a member of the Zhuge family, she was the one with the highest hopes and the family's approval. However, when she heard her father praising Li Qiankun and even handing him such a precious inheritance, she felt a mixture of emotions. She felt jealousy and resentment towards Li Qiankun, while also feeling doubt and confusion about herself.
She sought out her good friend, Wang Ye, and confided her inner confusion and struggles. Wang Ye listened quietly, his eyes filled with understanding and sympathy. He gently patted Zhuge Qing's shoulder and soothed her, "Qing'er, there's no need to be so concerned. Everyone has their own destiny and opportunities. Li Qiankun's receiving this inheritance may have been destined for him. You, too, have your own path to follow. Your talent and wisdom equally deserve recognition and admiration from the family."
Wang Ye's words were like a warm current, warming Zhuge Qing's cold heart. She looked up, met Wang Ye's determined gaze, and gradually felt relieved. She understood that she couldn't always dwell on the shadows of the past, but must bravely face the future and find her own light.
Meanwhile, elsewhere, Zhang Chulan and Zhang Lingyu were discussing their trip to the Tang Sect. Zhang Chulan's brows furrowed, his eyes filled with worry. "The Tang Sect is skilled in poison, and I'm afraid our trip will be dangerous."
Zhang Lingyu nodded, his expression solemn. "The Tang Sect is indeed difficult to deal with. Their poison techniques are hard to defend against. However, we can't retreat because of this. After all, this is our mission."
At this moment, Li Qiankun walked over confidently, his face filled with a confident smile: "The people of Tang Sect are not qualified to be my opponents. Don't worry, with me here, we will definitely complete the mission successfully."
Zhang Chulan watched Li Qiankun's confident expression with mixed emotions. He was pleased with his confidence, but also worried that he might underestimate his opponent and lose Jingzhou. He couldn't help but remind him, "Qiankun, although you have inherited the Zhuge family's legacy, you can't let your guard down. The Tang Clan's people are cunning and we must be careful."
Li Qiankun smiled slightly and nodded: "Don't worry, Chu Lan. I know what to do."
After much discussion, everyone decided to set off immediately for the Tang Sect. They passed through dense forests and over steep mountains, finally arriving at the foot of the Tang Sect. Gazing at the towering mountain gate, everyone couldn't help but feel awe.
Upon entering the Tang Sect, they were surprised to discover that it actually existed as a school. It boasted spacious, bright classrooms, well-equipped laboratories, and groups of energetic students. They wore uniform uniforms, their faces brimming with youthful smiles, as if this were just an ordinary school, not the dreaded Tang Sect.
Li Qiankun took out his token and attempted to enter the Tang Sect. However, the security guard at the gate recognized him and refused his request. The security guard said sternly, "I'm sorry, sir. Although your token is genuine, you are not a member of the Tang Sect and have not been invited by them. According to regulations, we cannot let you in."
Li Qiankun was stunned. He hadn't expected to be rejected. He looked at Zhang Chulan and Zhang Lingyu, only to see they also looked helpless. Just then, a pretty girl approached. She looked at Li Qiankun and the others, a hint of curiosity and confusion in her eyes.
