Revision 3

Overview

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.

The Eight Pillar Trial

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.

Role in S0 Launch

Dongyunluo Highland is part of the S0 launch content and is accessible from the Jixia Academy hub area. It is one of the named regions that players can explore during their early adventures with the Jixia Star Team and represents the kind of distinct highland environment that contrasts with the plains and wetlands of the other launch regions.

Chapter 4 Route

Dongyunluo Highland becomes much more important once Jixia Chapter 4: Jixia Secrets opens. The player uses the area's Guiling waystone to enter Guiling Return Mausoleumand that makes the highland the handoff zone between academy travel and the mausoleum dungeon route.

• 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.

Guiling Access Route

From the story perspective, Dongyunluo Highland is where the chapter's level gate turns into actual exploration. The player raises Yuan Liu level, travels to the highland, activates the Guiling-side route, and then drops directly into the chapter's first boss sequence with the Godpattern-Infected Gatebreaker.
