Just from this aspect alone, Taiping Dao cannot assign the defense of the Formation Core in the Great Eye Kingdom entirely to Jintai Gate—it’s not about distrusting their loyalty.
But such a principle issue must be approached with caution.
Reliance should be on systems of maintenance, not so-called loyalty and emotion.
The human heart is too illusory.
Since Jintai Gate cannot be used, what remains is Xuan Turtle Mountain, given this sect’s conflicting interests with Taiping Dao, as well as its subtle schemes throughout history.
The loyalty of this sect is not at all trustworthy.
If one day a war between Taiping Dao and Jiuzhou Immortal Gate breaks out, and Xuan Turtle Mountain proactively detonates the formation and turns on us,
then at the same time, the Mountain Gate behind us also rises in rebellion, echoing the betrayal from within and without.
Lu Yuan wouldn’t be surprised at all by Xuan Turtle Mountain doing such a thing.
This ambitious underling’s current subservience is nothing more than an illusion borne of a significant disparity in strength and Taiping Dao’s refusal to give them a chance.
If one day Taiping Dao reveals a weak spot, they would certainly seize the moment to rebel.
That is without question.
Facing such a latent mine, even if Lu Yuan wished to utilize it, he’d be extremely cautious.

Between Jintai Gate and Xuan Turtle Mountain, he has been hesitant about which sect should dispatch a True Person to take action.
Sometimes he even considers letting both sects send a True Person to oversee the Great Eye Kingdom together, having them monitor each other.
Could this make things somewhat better?
But this approach isn’t foolproof either.
When faced with genuinely treasonous subordinates, no amount of surveillance can guard against someone with malice triumphing over the one with none, and the guardian is very likely to fall prey.
And should the guardian fall, regardless of which side suffers the loss, it means that Taiping Dao has one less True Immortal-level strength.
This would make the consequences of their rebellion even greater.
And if it comes to pass that both factions wish to revolt together, it would be utterly hopeless.
This is no less unstable.
Sigh, so many concerns over merely choosing a guardian.
When all is said and done, it’s all because Lu Yuan’s Taiping Dao was established too recently, its core manpower was not sufficiently developed, and they truly lacked reliable individuals.
Lean on a mountain, and the mountain will collapse.
Trust an outsider, and there will inevitably come a day when they are unreliable.
This is Taiping Dao’s greatest problem at present.
Jintai Gate now sides with Taiping Dao due to interest conflicts with Jiuzhou Immortal Gate.
But if Jiuzhou Immortal Gate changes its strategy, abandons its past aggressive stance, and chooses instead to share the Southern Domain with the Southern Domain Immortal Gate,
it becomes difficult to say whether Jintai Gate would remain reliable.
As for whether the substantial benefits promised by such a large power can be trusted at this point, that’s not a worry.
The Immortal Realm has too many mutual constraining methods.
Just like how Taiping Dao controls the Netherworld Court of Yichuan with Chen Hongyuan, the Heavenly Son of the Netherworld, as long as one is willing to pay the price, mutual trust can always be established.
Jintai Gate, Xuan Turtle Mountain, and even Bihu Palace all have the potential to be swayed by Jiuzhou Immortal Gate.
This is also the root of Lu Yuan’s distrust of them.
However, at this juncture, if Yang Jihua of the Changqing Immortal Sect were to be sent to oversee the Great Eye Kingdom, then there would be no problems.
If there’s even a chance of reconciling the conflict and returning to good terms with Jiuzhou Immortal Gate among the three Immortal Sects of the Southern Domain,
then such a possibility is utterly nonexistent for the Changqing Immortal Sect.
Historically, there are no examples of the current Imperial Court reconciling with the remnants of the former regime.
Moreover, sending Yang Jihua to guard the Great Eye Kingdom is actually a show of trust, Taiping Dao’s way of expressing goodwill towards the Changqing Immortal Sect.
Look, I’ve entrusted such an important position to your person, this shows how much trust I have in you—it’s my lifeblood.
After I’ve gone to such lengths, shouldn’t you support me even more, and provide more assistance?
From this perspective, this is also a fine choice.
“`
The decision is made, Yang Jihua, you will be the guardian of the Great Eye Kingdom.
Having made up his mind, Lu Yuan then informed his avatar.
Afterwards, Qing Guanzi, having seen off many who had come to attend the Dharma Assembly, sought out Yang Jihua, who had stayed behind, and shared his thoughts with him.
The latter immediately said, “If the True Person is willing to place his trust in me, then I am willing to give it a try.
As long as I am still alive, the Formation Core of the Great Eye Kingdom will certainly not be lost, and the Jiuzhou Immortal Gates, even more, will not dream of stepping one foot into the Great Eye Kingdom.”
Yang Jihua’s attitude was very clear and very determined.
That is to say, he was resolutely set on resisting the Jiuzhou Immortal Gates, ready to fight them to the death.
This result did not surprise Qing Guanzi and also gave him satisfaction.
“Then the Great Eye Kingdom will be entrusted to Daoist Yang,” he said with a smile.
He then took out a Dharma seal and handed it to Yang Jihua, “This is the guardian seal of the Great Eye Kingdom.
With this seal, Daoist friend can command all the disciples of the Immortal Sect within the Great Eye Kingdom and act on behalf of our Taiping Tao.”
“The peace and stability of the Great Eye Kingdom’s territory, along with the safety of the Southern Domain’s western border, are in your hands.”
Yang Jihua respectfully received the Dharma seal and earnestly said, “Jihua will not disappoint True Person’s trust, nor will I shirk my duty and mission.”
Thus, with the transfer of the Dharma seal completed, the matter of appointing the guardian of the Great Eye Kingdom came to a conclusion.
Now that the guardians for the three Formation Cores of the Ten Thousand Aura Earth Dragon Formation had been decided and the three guardians had taken up their appointments, the security of the Southern Domain’s western territory was entirely secured.
With such an Earth Immortal formation in place, if the Jiuzhou Immortal Gates wanted to invade the Southern Domain, they would first have to face this enormous sky-covering formation.
With the opponent’s strength, it would be absolutely impossible to break through this formation without the intervention of at least two or three Earth Immortals.
And with the current strength of the Jiuzhou Immortal Gates, it’s completely out of the question to dispatch so many Earth Immortals.
Therefore, shortly thereafter, the western side of the Taiping Tao would also be completely safe.
At least for the next thousand years, before the strength of the Jiuzhou Immortal Gates could make further advances, Taiping Tao’s western domain is safe.
As for a thousand years later?
By that time, Taiping Tao would have already firmly established itself in the Southern Domain, and even between the Earth Immortal True Persons, a new one might arise from either Che Shidao or Yi Dancheng.
With two Earth Immortals seated firmly within Taiping Tao, even if the Jiuzhou Immortal Gates enhanced their strength, in terms of accumulating power, they would still be far inferior to Lu Yuan.
With ample Lifespan to expend, compared to other cultivators, Lu Yuan’s speed of building up strength is exceedingly fast.
It is with ample confidence that he believes he can survive between the two great powers, the Jiuzhou Immortal Gates and the Changqing Immortal Sect, finding advantages on both sides.
And thus, with Taiping Dao formally taking charge, under the protection of the Ten Thousand Aura Earth Dragon Formation, the Southern Domain finally shook off the chaos it had suffered for thousands of years.
Demons, once ubiquitous, were purged in round after round of cleansing campaigns led by the Immortal Sect alliance headed by Taiping Dao.
Many evil demons were either jointly exterminated by the disciples of the Immortal Sect or were so frightened that they fled the Southern Domain entirely.
The remaining kind-hearted and good demons were also reined in and appointed as local Mountain Gods and Water Gods, integrated into Taiping Dao’s governing structure.
The substantial purging of these destabilizing elements instantly made the Southern Domain exceptionally clear and peaceful, transforming it once again into a serene paradise.
Even the genuine heirs of Immortal Sects felt brave enough to travel within the region, seeking mountains and making friends, enhancing their knowledge and experience.
No longer did they have to worry like before, fearing that once they left the Mountain Gate, they wouldn’t travel a thousand li before being robbed and killed.
Even the True Immortals lived in constant fear every day, never daring to relax their vigilance.
Now, this atmosphere has gradually dissipated with Taiping Dao’s deterrence and deep governance.

The customs of the Southern Domain were also gradually changing.
From cultist brigands being rampant, it shifted towards a flourishing Immortal Method and a populace admiring virtue.
The Immortal Sect disciples no longer guarded against and killed each other, and the local divine Spirits of mountains and waters were consecutively reestablished.
Towns that had been ruined by the ravages of demons were resettled by mortals once more.
The wave of order swiftly swept across the entire Southern Domain, covering it completely.
The traces of demons and evil paths were gradually heard no more by the people of the Southern Domain thanks to the crackdown by the stationed Immortal Cultivators and Divine Spirits.
A great era of prosperity for the Southern Domain, led by Taiping Dao, thus began.
And during all this acclaim and praise, the rule of Taiping Dao over this region seamlessly transitioned into its next hundred years.
