Unlocking Hidden Palace of Zhou Formula[]
Like for Cecilia Garden, initially there will be a large rock on top of the domain. To unlock the domain, light up four Ruins Torches scattered around the domain (some will be above on the hillside) and then activating the nearby Geo Monument. After that, the large rock will be broken, and the domain will unlock.
Wuwang Hill Statue Puzzle[]
This puzzle is on the top peak of Wuwang Hill, slightly southeast of Qingce Village. The writing is in the center of a small pool surrounded by a large number of statues.
"...Its bones pierced, its spirit faded, its form and soul both decimated...still did its flesh survive...Here stands this statue, to watch in each direction: the wind-swept ruin, the snow-capped peak, the adepti's abode, and the city of Liyue..."
For this puzzle you have to only activate the four statues that are directly facing towards the hinted key location. The sequence of which ones to activate does not matter as long as they are the key 4, the puzzle will reset after four statues were selected if any of them were wrong and a Precious Chest appears if correct. The locations:
- Wind-Swept Ruin = Stormterror's Lair
- Snow-Capped Peak = Dragonspine Mountain
- Adepti's Abode = Mt. Aocang
- City of Liyue = Liyue Harbor
Just because a statue is positioned in the correct direction relative to the center with the incomplete writing does not mean it is necessarily the right one. The statue has to be directly facing that direction. To check, before activating one, stand directly behind the statue and face your character in the exact same direction, then open the Map and check where your character arrow points to. At good graphics settings on the game, Dragonspine and Stormterror's Lair are directly visible from this spot in the distance making them easier to pick out, but the other two may not be so obvious so make sure to check on the map first.

Lore[]
Long ago, an evil chi was sealed away at the Hidden Palace of Zhou Formula using the Seven-and-Eight-Gates Method.[1]
Wuwang Hill was an ordinary location in Liyue up until the Wuwang Hill Disaster over a decade ago. Fetor was leaking from the boundary between life and death, so Old Hu and Hu Tao's father performed the Art of Homa there to burn away the fetor. However, an unexpected catastrophe occurred — Hu Tao's father failed to perform the rite correctly, something Hu Tao retrospectively attributes to losing his focus due to his attachments to the world. He died immediately from an overload of fetor, while a flood ravaged a nearby village — the very one Meng, Big G, Little Wu, Mumu and Congzi hailed from. Even though Old Hu managed to deal with the fallout, it apparently cost him a large portion of his lifespan, and he passed away before he turned sixty.[2]
To this day, Wuwang Hill has a permanent, eerie fog settled over it, and blue ghost lights float around the area. Due to its spooky atmosphere, it has become a place for tests of courage.[3] The mysterious nature of the Wuwang Hill Disaster has also spawned various folktales about the area's rapid abandonment; one version told by children of Qingce Village claims that a sea monster from a distant land ensnared the youths of Wuwang Hill using a certain whale-like song, luring them into Bishui River and drowning them. This happened year after year, until all that was left were the elderly, who passed on from natural causes. The ley lines in the area absorbed the hopes and dreams of those who died, recreating them with elemental energy. This phenomenon can ensnare travelers passing through the area, leading them to their doom much like the Wuwang villagers of old.[4]
Trivia[]
- Once the Hidden Palace of Zhou Formula is opened, the Electro Cicin Mage and the Electro Cicins who normally wander back and forth around the inactive domain will no longer spawn.
- According to Records of Jueyun - Vol. 3 (Wuwang), Wuwang (Chinese: 无妄 Wúwàng) means "prudence" (or possibly more literally, "without recklessness") and Wuwang Hill is "the hill where [even] the prudent are punished."
- Wuwang (Chinese: 无妄 Wúwàng) is also the twenty-fifth hexagram in the I Ching, with several different meanings, including: "without embroiling," "innocence," and "pestilence."
- The floating blue particles that can be seen in the forest surrounding the Hidden Palace of Zhou Formula may represent Will-o'-the-Wisps or Hitodama Lights, both of which are mystical creatures representing the souls of the dead or some supernatural presence.
