33 Dongyunluo Highland (东云落高地, Dōngyúnluò Gāodì) is a highland region in Honor of Kings: World, confirmed by current community data. Its defining feature is the "Eight Pillar Trial" (铸灵八柱, Zhùlíng Bāzhù), an eight-pillar test that players can attempt as a named challenge within the region.

77 The Eight Pillar Trial (铸灵八柱) translates roughly to "Spirit Forging Eight Pillars." It is a named gameplay trial confirmed by current community data. Specific mechanical details about the trial (its format, its reward structure, its difficulty tier) have not been fully documented in English-language coverage as of the April 10, 2026 launch. The "spirit forging" framing suggests the trial may be tied to the Huanling Summoned Spirits system, potentially as a way to strengthen or bond with Huanling companions through pillar-based challenges.

1717 It is the staging ground for the opening Guiling push with Dongfang Yao and Xi Shi.It frames the approach to the mausoleum rather than acting as a one-off named landmark.It stays relevant because later Jixia walkthroughs keep referencing its transit path and nearby waystones.
