The Mightiest Little Peasant

After being gone for a year, Tang Hao realized that he could not keep up with the current trends.

He browsed the Internet and did not understand many new buzzwords.

He was also overwhelmed by all the major news.

He went back to Tang Village and Dragonrock Village and visited his relatives. Then, he went to Haotian Plaza.

He was only there to visit people. He was no longer involved in company matters.

Shi Yan’er had already graduated from university and was employed in Haotian Group, just as she wished. Ma Fangfang had become the vice president. As for Han Yutong, she had been helping him with the company matters as his assistant.

Tang Hao felt quite emotional as he looked down at the city from the top floor of Haotian Plaza.

Earth was completely different from that planet.

As his power grew, it would be rare for him to come back to Earth in the future. After all, the higher one’s cultivation base, the more ambitious one would become.

After the State of the Nascent Soul was the State of Path Seeking. Following that would be the State of Path Severance, the State of Immortality, and the legendary State of Immortal Tribulation.

He also wanted to venture into deep space to find out what was out there.

“Chairman Tang!”

A soft voice brought him back to the present.

Han Yutong handed him a cup of tea.

Tang Hao was startled. He was used to being alone there. Now that he was back, he was not quite used to someone serving him.

“Thank you!”

He took the cup and sipped the tea.

Han Yutong smiled charmingly and said, “Now that a year has passed, I feel that you’ve changed a lot.”

She was still dressed in the standard office wear, but she had gained some otherworldly charm.

“Have I?” Tang Hao could not help but laugh.

“Yes, you have!”

She smiled mischievously, bent over, and gently wrapped her arms around Tang Hao’s neck from behind. She leaned close to her ear and muttered, “I think that… you’re more mature now. You’ve become a man!”

Her warm breath tickled Tang Hao’s ear as she spoke.

Tang Hao shook his head slightly and could not help but laugh.

She hugged him even tighter.

“I miss you so much!”

She said as she closed her eyes.

“I know…” Tang Hao said after a short moment of silence.

“Mm,” she replied but said nothing else. She continued to hug him from behind and enjoyed that moment.

Tang Hao stayed in Westridge for the next two weeks before traveling to Provincial City.

Jiang Wanying was still teaching at Z University, while Zhao Qingxue had been promoted several times. She was like a rising star in the police force.

As for Ling Wei, her corporation had been expanding.

Liu Bingyao had also become more and more famous.

He also met up with Tamamo. Finally, he went to Merrica to meet Thea.

Eventually, Tang Hao returned to Westridge.

A month later, he received the news that a meteor shower was nearing Earth. That should be the second wave of attack.

There were far fewer stardisks this time. Stardisks were incredibly precious objects owned by the biggest factions, and a few had been destroyed the last time.

Usually, cultivators could not travel through the void of outer space. They had to rely on stardisks.

Only cultivators in the State of Immortality could traverse space naturally.

Tang Hao returned to Kunlun and waited.

A few days later, rays of light streaked across the sky.

At the peak of Kunlun Mountain, Tang Hao stomped his foot and shot up into the sky. Soon, he was beyond the atmosphere. He fired several streams of qi to intercept the meteorites.

The meteorites had been too scattered, and he could not intercept some of them in time. They penetrated the atmosphere and fell on Earth.

Tang Hao shot a glance at them and did not mind them that much.

The meteorites were not landing in Huaxia. He could deal with them later.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The meteorites shook violently and stopped moving.

“What’s going on?”

The people in the meteorites exclaimed.

The meteorites cracked open, and many figures could be seen from within.

Their faces were filled with shock and bewilderment when they saw the figure standing not far away from them.

Then, their shock turned into disdain.

They knew that the Ancestral Planet was not as weak as they had originally thought. Several powerful figures who managed to escape the last time returned to relay the information.

However, the most powerful cultivator on the Ancestral Planet was only a Golden Core cultivator. This time, they had brought Nascent Soul cultivators, who could crush the most powerful cultivators there easily.

“Haha! He’s delivering himself to us!”

“We’ll start with him then. This time, we’ll slaughter all the cultivators!”

They laughed as their killing intent grew.

Tang Hao chuckled. “Do you think you can?”

The group of people was stunned once more, but they burst out laughing.

“Hah! Don’t be mistaken. We’re not that bunch of trash from last time. Can’t you see my cultivation base? I’m in the State of the Nascent Soul! You insects from the Ancestral Planet can’t hope to reach this level!”

A middle-aged man laughed heartily.

Tang Hao glanced at him and recognized from his attire that he was from the Great Allheaven Sect. He was only in the early period of the State of the Nascent Soul.

Someone of that level could not have been anyone important in the sect. That was why he was tasked with this mission.

Traversing outer space was a dangerous undertaking. Without an Immortal cultivation base, it would be easy for accidents to happen even with stardisks. That was why the great sects would send out unimportant figures to carry out the mission.

“Me too!”

Another person shouted. He was wearing a water dragon robe, and he had a drop-shaped mark on his forehead. He was from the Yushi family.

The people began to brandish their qi auras.

There were seven groups of five people in total. Half of them were in the State of the Nascent Soul, while the other half were in the State of the Golden Core.

The people pressed on that figure with their qi auras, thinking that it would scare him out of his wits.

However, that figure did not seem surprised. He smiled and said, “What a coincidence, me too!”

Those people were instantly stunned.

“You too?”

The cultivator from the Jiang family said in astonishment.

“Yes, I’m also a Nascent Soul cultivator!” Tang Hao said.

“Hahaha! How is that possible? This stupid planet can’t probably produce a Nascent Soul cultivator!”

Everyone laughed. Naturally, they did not believe him.

With the pitiful amount of qi on the Ancestral Planet, not even the best prodigy could reach the State of the Nascent Soul!

With a bang, Tang Hao brandished his qi aura, and the cultivators were hit by a force as vast as the ocean and as profound as the abyss.

The qi aura was terrifying. They were forced to step backward.

Their expressions froze on their faces.

Following that, their faces began to contort, and their bodies began to tremble out of extreme terror.

“Mommy! He’s at the peak!”

The Jiang family cultivator cried out in fear. He almost passed out.
