Chapter 268: The Most Precious Treasure of the Lome Race

"Hello!"

It was his first time interacting with the extraterrestrials, and he didn't know how to greet them. So, he just tried greeting them with a simple "hello."

Looking at the smiling, gentle-looking man outside, Elder Tarot immediately controlled the detector to gather all the languages used on this planet.

Very swiftly, he found the language spoken by Qin Chuan earlier.

Elder Tarot immediately downloaded the language into the language system on his clothes.

The clothes he was wearing had many functions. The language system had a real-time translation function, allowing him to communicate without any obstacles.

After the language download was completed, the language system translated Qin Chuan's words.

Elder Tarot immediately responded and gave a simple introduction.

"Hello!

"My name is Tarot. We are from Planet Lome tens of millions of light-years away. Nice to meet you!"

That far?

Qin Chuan was astonished.

Since they came from so far away, they must have some motive for coming here.

But from the way they look, they don't seem to have any intention of invading.

Qin Chuan contemplated.

Then, he asked directly, "Why did you come from such a far place?"

Elder Tarot did not hide anything and explained their intentions. "We want to borrow the energy of your planet to replenish our spaceship's energy.

"Of course, we will give something of equal value in exchange."

Qin Chuan thought for a while and said, "How would I know if what you said is true or false? What if you guys want to use energy as an excuse to do something bad to my planet?"

Elder Tarot said sincerely, "Don't worry, us Lomerians are a kind race. We will definitely not do such a thing.

"However, we do have other matters that we would like to seek your help with."

Qin Chuan's eyes flickered as he silently mused,

Truly, they have ill intentions. Well, they've already admitted it. I should meet them and see what tricks they have up their sleeves.

Tarot stared at Qin Chuan and asked seriously, "Sir, I still wish to confirm something. May I ask?"

"Speak!" Qin Chuan quickly replied.

Elder Tarot pondered for a moment before asking, "Sir, are… are you an immortal cultivator?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan's countenance changed slightly, expressing his astonishment.

He thought for a moment and realized that the other party must have discovered something by asking such a question. Now that he could protect himself, it was not a problem to admit that he was an immortal cultivator.

Hence, Qin Chuan generously admitted it.

Elder Tarot's eyes immediately lit up. It was as though a man sentenced to execution had been given a ray of hope.

He immediately knelt down and sincerely begged, "Immortal Cultivator Sir, please save my people."

Qin Chuan was instantly stunned.

Qin Chuan's face sank. From the looks of this, this Lomerian didn't seem to be lying. However, he still had to remain vigilant.

He said to Elder Tarot, "Give me a moment."

"Yes, yes!" Elder Tarot nodded.

After which, Qin Chuan vanished from sight.

Ten seconds later, he reappeared, but there was another person beside him.

"Guan Zexiao, this is an extraterrestrial creature. Listen to him and see if he's telling the truth."

Qin Chuan had brought Guan Zexiao.

He had the ability to listen to the thoughts of others.

With such an ability, he could tell whether the other party was lying or not.

Guan Zexiao was also a Golden Core cultivator now.

He had a Soul and was also a reincarnator. With the enhancement of the protagonist's aura, his cultivation naturally progressed quickly.

Elder Tarot stared at Qin Chuan and Guan Zexiao with excitement in his heart.

Another immortal cultivator. It seems that there are many immortal cultivators on this planet.

If they are willing to help, our race will really be saved.

He had seen the methods of immortal cultivators and knew how powerful they were.

In truth, amongst the myriad races of the universe, immortal cultivators were synonymous with power.

At this moment, Qin Chuan asked, "Tell us! Why do you need our help?"

Elder Tarot nodded and immediately said, "Sir, to be honest, our homeland is already gone. It was destroyed by the Beast Taming Corps.

"Right now, my clansmen and I are being hunted by them. We beg you to save us."

Beast taming???

When Qin Chuan heard this term, killing intent flashed across his eyes.

According to the inherited memories, the original cultivation civilization was destroyed by a young man who promoted Beast taming.

Hence, Qin Chuan was certain that this young man was definitely related to the Beast Taming Corps and was probably one of their members.

Qin Chuan asked Guan Zexiao, "Did he lie?"

Guan Zexiao shook his head. "He's telling the truth."

"Mm!"

After obtaining the confirmation from Guan Zexiao, Qin Chuan watched Elder Tarot and pondered for a moment before asking, "Tell me, how strong are the Beast Taming Corps that are pursuing you?"

Upon hearing Qin Chuan's question, the Elder Tarot felt that there was a high chance of success.

He immediately replied, "There are about 13 members of the Beast Taming Corps chasing us.

"They themselves aren't very powerful, but the giant beasts they control are extremely terrifying and have the power to destroy planets.

"My home was destroyed by those giant beasts.

…

"I witnessed my own people, family, and friends die in this disaster.

"But I-I couldn't do anything…"

Elder Tarot said a lot, and he choked when he spoke of his home being destroyed.

He could not suppress the sadness in his heart as tears flowed down his face.

Qin Chuan understood what the Elder Tarot was feeling. Back then, in the inheritance ground, the old lady from the Heavenly Note Sect was the same as well.

From this, Qin Chuan had no positive thoughts about the Beast Taming Corps.

After a moment of silence,

Qin Chuan asked again, "How did you guys get into a conflict with the Beast Taming Corps? Did you guys refuse to cultivate their Beast Taming system?"

Elder Tarot didn't think too much about this question. He said directly, "That's not the case. They just want to take our race's most valuable treasure for themselves."

"Most valuable treasure?" Qin Chuan started.

Elder Tarot said sincerely, "Sir, as long as you are willing to help us, I am willing to share my clan's most precious treasure with you."

Qin Chuan did not agree immediately.

He rubbed his chin and thought to himself,

Since this precious treasure of the Lome race could make the Beast Taming Corps go to such lengths, it must be extraordinary.

I am quite curious.

But their giant beasts can destroy planets. With my current strength, I doubt they'll be easy to deal with.

If I cannot handle them, the entire planet will be in danger.

Now that my cultivation career is thriving, I should play it safe and not get involved in this mess!

Just as Qin Chuan was about to make his decision, Elder Tarot took out a black stone.

This stone did not look very special. It was not much different from the other stone by the roadside. It was just very black, just like coal.

However, it was this ordinary-looking stone that was the most precious treasure of the Lome clan. It was the clan's most precious sacred object, known as the [Ancestral Stone].

At this moment, Qin Chuan suddenly felt an extremely strong wave of nomological law energy. He felt as if he was in a storm of nomological laws.

Qin Chuan stared in astonishment at the pitch-black stone in the Elder Tarot's hand.

Elder Tarot's knelt on the ground and raised the [Ancestral Stone] above his head with both hands. He was extremely pious.

He solemnly said, "Sir, this is the most precious treasure of our Lome race."

Guan Zexiao, who was standing beside Qin Chuan, saw the shock on Qin Chuan's face and asked softly, "Sect Leader, is this stone very special?"

Qin Chuan nodded.

It was more than special. It could be said to be something that all cultivators dreamed of.
