Reason Was No Match for Fists

"What a load of nonsense."

Mu Chen's face was covered in black lines.

"You, you'll be called Tiger Venerable."

"You, you'll be called Blood Eagle."

"You, Turtle Head... uh... Turtle Hair... pfft... Turtle Two, then!"

"You'll follow Prime Minister Turtle and manage the affairs of the Endless Sea."

Mu Chen casually pointed a finger a few times, settling the three demons' names.

The three demons looked full of resentment, but none dared object.

Prime Minister Turtle, on the other hand, was extremely happy.

Not only did he now have subordinates.

He also had a junior of the turtle race.

He could not help saying with a kindly expression,

"Grandson, stick with Grandpa. When the master of these waters is away, I call the shots."

The turtle demon whom Mu Chen had named Turtle Two had completely opposite thoughts at that moment.

Not only did he have to toil for a thousand years.

He also had to acknowledge someone as his grandpa.

At that thought, he wanted to die.

The next day.

Prime Minister Turtle and the three demons spread word of the Endless Sea Daoist Sanctuary throughout the waters within a hundred thousand li.

Countless creatures, great and small, immediately began discussing it upon hearing the news.

Most creatures tacitly accepted it.

After all, with a Daluo Golden Immortal protecting the peace of these waters, offering a few treasures was only right.

However, a few creatures who relied on their powerful cultivation were deeply dissatisfied.

"Why should we? So what if he's a Daluo Golden Immortal?"

"Exactly! This is our territory. Does having higher cultivation mean he can act so brazenly?"

"Shameless! Believe it or not, I'll destroy these waters!"

Mu Chen listened to these words from within the sea of clouds.

He had long anticipated this situation.

He was not surprised.

He merely smiled disdainfully.

After all, had he not been stationed here.

These waters would long since have become a battlefield, and might even still be occupied by a few flood dragons.

How could these fellows possibly cultivate in peace every day?

Now that they had cultivated here for so long and advanced in realm under his protection, they thought they were the masters of this place.

It was the equivalent of cultivating in his home.

Then taking it all for granted.

In Mu Chen's words...

Did they have any fucking idea where they stood?

The following day.

Several great demons suddenly stirred up wind and waves above the once-peaceful waters.

They even incited the other demon races to resist together.

Then...

Heavenly lightning descended from above and blasted them to death on the spot.

Then a sea of fire and meteors came crashing down.

Every demonic beast of the Primordial World making a scene over the waters was reduced to nothing, not even bones remaining.

At the sight.

The waters fell deathly silent.

No one dared come out to court death again.

Some powerful creatures that had lived in these waters for countless tens of thousands of years.

Seemed to have anticipated this outcome, all wearing expressions of enjoying a good show.

They knew the methods of that terrifying existence above the sea of clouds.

They had even witnessed them twice!

The first time, it had been a dozen or so flood dragons.

The second time, it had been countless demons within these waters.

And all of them had likewise died without even their bones remaining...

So.

No matter how quiet and peaceful it was above the sea of clouds.

They always maintained their reverence and fear for that existence.

Above the sea of clouds.

Mu Chen withdrew his gaze.

In the Primordial World, reason was never as useful as fists.

After this display of his, the waters would remain peaceful for countless more years.

With this matter resolved.

He left the remaining affairs in Prime Minister Turtle's hands.

Mu Chen began turning his attention back to the Three Teachings' preaching of the Dao.

After all, this was his top priority.

"Judging by the timing, Yuanshi Tianzun should be preaching next, right?"

Mu Chen gently closed his eyes.

His avatar once again flew out beyond the sea of clouds.
