Chapter 1806 - 1407: Star Innate Tower, Blessing Festival! (Part 2)

Gu Changsheng heard this sentence and couldn’t help but frown, "I don’t believe in destiny! What kind of nonsense is the grand prayer ritual?"

"The grand prayer ritual is the greatest event of our Tashi tribe, and began with the birth cry of Ta You, who communicated with spirits. Every year at this time, the Star Innate Tower opens to all members of the tribe. Anyone who can ascend to the third layer of the Star Innate Tower and pass its trials can gain fame and pasture lands within our Tashi tribe. Those who reach the ninth layer and are recognized by Ta You are considered honored guests. My Father King once promised that if anyone could ascend the ninth layer and meet Ta You, they would be granted rights within the Tashi tribe equivalent to his own!" Landuoer gazed at the Star Innate Tower, her expression slightly dazed as she spoke.

Transforming royal power into a bargaining chip, this action by Father King, Landuoer did not approve of!

However, the grand prayer ritual indeed boosted the prestige of the Tashi tribe among the affiliated tribes; the position of the Tashi tribe in Southwestern North Mongol is unbreakable. It is precisely because of this that the grand prayer ritual of the Tashi tribe has become the greatest event in the entire Tashi tribe, and even among all the tribes of Southwestern North Mongol!

"What you mean is, even if your Father King doesn’t allow us to ascend the Star Innate Tower, we can still openly climb the tower to meet Ta You during the grand prayer ritual?" Hearing Landuoer’s words, Gu Changsheng’s eyes immediately brightened with excitement.

Gu Changsheng detested ideas like accepting fate; she didn’t believe in destiny and certainly didn’t want her plans delayed by the disapproval of the Chief of the Tashi tribe!

"Don’t think it’s that easy. Ever since Ta You’s birth, those who pass his trials have been very few. In the fifteen years since the Star Innate Tower was completed, only four people have ascended to the third layer, and none have gone beyond. It’s not easy to meet Ta You!" Landuoer shook her head, quite pained as she said, "Find an inn in the city; I’ll try to persuade Father King so you can meet Ta You!"

Gu Changsheng didn’t agree or disagree.

She originally didn’t intend to follow Landuoer to reside within the Tashi Royal Clan; what’s the benefit of going there? With everyone watching, it would be restrictive; better to stay at an inn for the freedom of movement it provides!

Landuoer, leading her hundred guards, rode off to the end of the street; Gu Changsheng and her group with two carriages for five people didn’t tarry on the street either and found the largest inn, securing a superior Guest Garden before settling in!

It was just a small hassle when securing the guest rooms!

Due to the tension for guest rooms in the main city of the Tashi tribe, many people fought over the superior Guest Garden. Gu Changsheng and the others only managed to secure their rooms thanks to Yuan Bao, who at her gesture, used a hefty sum to outbid everyone.

Indeed!

Being rich puts you on top; not even the Tashi tribe is exempt!

Who could outbid their high offering?

After snagging the superior Guest Garden, Gu Changsheng and her group tidied up and went to the inn’s lobby for a meal, encountering some people they outbid in the process. The leader of the group was a robust young man, not older than twenty, surrounded by a dozen guards, appearing to have a significant status.

Upon seeing Gu Changsheng’s group emerge, the man immediately stood up from his table and approached them. At that moment, the inn’s Waiter was pouring water for Gu Changsheng’s table, and kindly warned, "Esteemed guests, don’t offend this man; our exhibit owner loves wealth, but this man named Diluo Han is truly not to be messed with. You came to our main city to participate in the grand prayer ritual, right? This Diluo Han is one of three who ascended the third layer of the Star Innate Tower three years ago, and the youngest in fifteen years!"

The Waiter continued, moving a little closer to Gu Changsheng, speaking mysteriously, "Moreover, Diluo Han’s identity isn’t trivial; he’s the Batulu of the Diluo tribe, the eldest son!"

"Oh?" Gu Changsheng raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, thanking the Waiter.

She didn’t reveal she wasn’t there for the grand prayer ritual, nor did she say much else; her gaze silently signaled Yuan Bao to tip the Waiter. The Waiter, happily cradling the Gold Beans from the tip, moved away just as the Diluo Han he spoke of strode over to Gu Changsheng and her group.

After having her identity revealed by Landuoer’s scheming, Gu Changsheng felt their appearances were too conspicuous amid the rugged Northern Mongolian setting. Thus, she again took out her half-face mask, opting for discretion, it being better not to be too ostentatious!

To prevent being expelled by the Tashi tribe before even meeting Ta You, that would be a place with no one to hear her cry!

"So it’s you who snagged my superior Guest Garden? You’re indeed quite wealthy!" Diluo Han stared at Gu Changsheng, Zhou Mu, and Shi Wujue beside her, speaking disdainfully with his rugged face.

The men of Northern Mongol deem agility beautiful, strength honorable, as markers of a warrior’s qualifications.
