The Gangting City has a population of more than 200,000 citizens including cultivators. And half of this population has been preparing for the tournament. Some are selling items and souvenirs for the tournament, others prepared for a bigger lounge, some restaurants even enlarged their business area further.
The Tournament will be held at the back of the Gangting City, a place that can hold 10,000 people with ten stages.
People from all over the Gangting City are starting to gather towards the location, even some wandering cultivators and some people from far away lands.
Actually, all of the cities under each sect are holding tournaments, not only the Gangting City.
It is an event that happens every three years, It hides by the name of the tournament, but it is usually done by the Great Sects to gather talented individuals from all over the Kingdom.

...
Mo Family residence.
Mo Xie had gathered everyone that's partic.i.p.ating. He and three elders will be going together with the partic.i.p.ants, Shang Ting wanted to partic.i.p.ate hence the tournament too, Mo Xie immediately agreed to the idea of it, having experiences at the moment is the best teacher for them.
Mo Xie had done everything he could with the limited things to help them become stronger, all that's left is for them to experience what real life battle is like.
Tempering one's self with real-life experience is the best teacher out of anything else, so he decided, that after this tournament has been done and dealt with, he will send them all to tempering themselves, including the elders.
The twins, Mo Duan, and Mo Tian had already reached the 5-star black gold ranked, while Luoyang, Wentian, and Huolin had already surpa.s.sed all of their seniors from the core disciples except the twins, they have already reached 2-star black gold rank!
Meanwhile, Aiqing had already managed to climb her way to 1-star gold rank with Shang Ting as a 4-star black gold ranked cultivator.
Everyone inside the Mo Family residence had been improving rapidly, even the servants had entered the cultivation path and broke through to the bronze rank stage, but sadly, the center of it all, Mo Xie had only broken through to the 8-star bronze rank stage.
If something like this happened to other clans, they would definitely leave the Clan with an incompetent leader, but who is Mo Xie? The person that had given them such opportunity, their loyalty towards him knows no bounds, even if Mo Xie requested them to die, they would gladly do so, because they knew, that if ever they were to die, their families and loved ones will be living prosperously.
"Everyone, I could not take a lot of people for this event, and for that, I apologize." Mo Xie's words sounded throughout the Mo Family's residence.
Hearing this, a lot of the disciples couldn't help but sigh, they wanted to watch a festive tournament, but after a while, they all nodded, their Patriarch wouldn't do something without a proper reason, they trust him more than anything in this world.
Mo Xie had been waiting for an attack from the enemies for the past few days, but up to now, there wasn't any sort of attack that happened; 'Maybe I shouldn't have killed those two black gold ranked cultivators...'
Mo Xie started to regret his action, but still, he needed to start now, he wanted to see the outer World, what kind of geniuses lays waiting for them inside the Northern Star Gangting Tournament, well not much, but he's just curious.
He might be able to protect a few people on their way, but sending the whole of his inner and core disciples will be too much for him to handle, hence, could only limit the number he brings with him.
"The seven partic.i.p.ants will come with me, Wuhan, Zedong, and Lingxin will also come with their personal disciples." Mo Xie finished his a.s.sembling immediately.
Zedong and Lingxin are both offensive elders, hence, they were the ones in charge of anything that will happen outside of the Clan, Yijun and Jiahao are in charge of the defense, the two of them will be left to defend.
Out of all the Elders, Wuhan had already broken through to the 4-star Earth stage, while the other four are falling behind by a single layer. Their cultivation speed had decreased to a tremendous level after that, they couldn't just break through anymore with just a low-grade array and Spirit Stones.
"Yes, Patriarch!" All of them howl as they bowed and received Mo Xie's words.
Mo Xie then looked at Yijun and Jiahao: "There might be people that are going to attack our Mo Family, be sure to guard it well..."
Hearing his words, all of the disciples finally knew why Mo Xie will only bringing a few people with him, they are targetted!
They already made a few theories in their head, Weapons? Spirit Stones? Secrets to their growth?
All of these can be a huge boon to anyone that can steal it, so, their life is definitely in danger.
Mo Xie left a word of precaution, but even without it, the Mo Family residence will be safe, with both offensive and defensive formations stacked within the whole of the residence, there would never be a case where it will fall, unless...
Mo Xie's expression changed if that were really to happen, the people left inside the Mo Family residence will be in danger, he walked closer to both Yijun and Jiahao and whispered: "If there are people that can destroy the formation, be sure to evacuate as many people as you can, forget about the materials and treasures of our Clan, we can always rebuild again."
Hearing Mo Xie's words, the two elders nodded, they felt a little-scared hearing Mo Xie's words.
Mo Xie couldn't help but be a little stiff, his senses are telling him that nothing is going to happen, but his instincts are telling him otherwise, he kept looking around before sighing, maybe its just that he had rusted through the years that he had lived a carefree life that's why his instincts are running wild.
'I`ll just temper myself together with them after this.'
As soon as Mo Xie thought of it, he started to walk towards the exit and spoke: "Let's go!"
"May the Mo Family be ever victorious!" The disciples and two elders shouted as they bid the groups that are going out.
