Dragon Banner Valley is a Chapter 7 region in Honor of Kings: World tied to Jixia Chapter 7: Battle of Return to Void. The valley is where the Return to Void ceremony route changes into a structured trial space built around three statue challenges.
Role in Chapter 7
Travel from Jixia Academy into the valley after the opening ceremony scenes.
Reach the trial area and interact with three statues. The order does not matter.
Clear the three tests to unlock the central device and trigger the next fight sequence.
Defeat the forged spirits and continue to the Xingli finale.
The Three Tests
Swift Trial: a platforming and dodge test on a circular arena with four rounds of projectile patterns.
Valor Trial: a combat gauntlet against several waves of normal enemies without a boss at the end.
Puzzle Trial: a laser-column mechanism puzzle where the pillars must be moved so the beam reaches the center device.
Why the Valley Stands Out
It combines movement, combat, and puzzle-solving in one compact chapter hub.
The area acts as a transition from festival story scenes into forged-spirit boss combat.
Its statue format makes it one of the clearest chapter-specific trial spaces in the launch story.
After the Trials
Completing the three statues opens the route to a short boss chain: first the spear forged spirit, then the dual forged-spirit fight, and finally Xingli. Because of that structure, Dragon Banner Valley functions as both a location page and a chapter progression hub.

Trial Tips
None of the three statue tests gate progress behind a single perfect run; the chapter records each statue's completion and lets players retry whichever one is still open. Pick the order that matches your party loadout: Swift Trial favors mobility-heavy Resonances, Valor Trial favors AoE damage dealers, and Puzzle Trial is mechanically neutral.
Swift Trial: hold the dodge input through the second and third projectile patterns, then sprint to the open edge before the fourth round begins.
Valor Trial: equip an AoE Huanling spirit before the gauntlet, since the waves arrive grouped tightly together.
Puzzle Trial: walk the laser beam to the device by adjusting one column at a time. Reset the layout from the pedestal if the rotation gets tangled.
Boss Chain After the Trials
Completing all three statues opens the central device and triggers the spear forged-spirit fight, followed by the dual forged-spirit encounter, and finally the Xingli finale. Repair gear and refill consumables before pulling the device; the chain runs without a safe break in between.

Chapter 7 Statue Trial
Dragon Banner Valley hosts the Chapter 7 statue trial, a multi-stage environmental sequence built around activating a cluster of stone statues distributed across the valley floor. Each statue accepts a specific Resonance-style activation (a 普攻 charged hit, a dodge-cancel through its activation arc, or a Resonance-swap timing window), and the cluster must be completed in a defined order to open the chapter's final approach.
Geography
The valley is a long north-south corridor with the statue cluster on the southern end. The northern entrance connects back to the main Frostcloud trail, and the southern exit, opened after the trial completes, leads to the chapter-end set piece. Replay value is moderate; the trial does not reset after completion, but the corridor remains a useful traversal shortcut.
