Movement guide
Unlock the movement you actually need. This guide separates flight skills from regional permits, walks through Afterglow, maps the old 飛簷 names to current Wallstride skills, and diagnoses the common 'learned but unusable' state.

If a flight or Wallstride skill appears learned but will not activate, do not farm another copy of the skill. First check the region. Qinghe requires its Afterglow Pendant; Kaifeng requires its own Flight Medallion. The skill decides how you move, while the regional item decides where that movement is allowed.
Ask the Moonveil Mountain Wayfarer about the Jianghu Legacy, then track Afterglow from Qinghe's Exploration menu.
Follow the tracker toward Witherwilds. The Porcelain Kiln fast-travel point is the useful approach if it is already open.
The fisherman reveals himself as Master Qiu Yuehai and demonstrates Meteor Flight before setting the real test.
Use single, double and triple jumps as the gaps widen, then finish with a double jump and dash. Falling returns you to the last jar, so do not restart the quest.
Interact at the boat after the challenge. This learns a flight skill; it does not yet grant unrestricted flight in every region.
Qinghe flight requires Exploration Level 4 and its Afterglow Pendant. Kaifeng uses its own Flight Medallion. A permit from one region does not unlock another.
| Flight skill | Unlock | What matters |
|---|---|---|
| Meteor Flight | Complete Jianghu Legacy 05: Afterglow | The direct quest route and the best first check when flight is still locked. |
| Thousand-Mile Flight | Claim the Day 4 reward in A Warrior's Journey | A second flight style; it still needs the active region's permit. |
| Fan Glider | Reach Qinghe Exploration Level 5 (6,000 points) | A fan-themed flight option unlocked one exploration tier after Qinghe's permit. |
| Wind Rider | Reach Qinghe Exploration Level 6 (9,000 points) | The later Qinghe exploration flight reward; do not confuse it with the Level 4 permit. |
All four are flight tools. The visible theme changes, but none replaces the permit check. If the current problem is simply “I cannot fly,” solve Afterglow and the region gate before comparing styles.
飛簷步仞
Improves wall running and lets you clear wall edges more easily.
The old Chinese description says it is used between walls and eaves, which is the mechanic match for Swiftstride.
飛簷逐影
Improves fast ground movement and permits running across water.
The old Chinese description emphasizes high-speed travel over terrain, which is the mechanic match for Shadowdash.
The consolidated current Lightness table and multiple route cross-checks place Swiftstride at 21 Oddities and Shadowdash at 45. Some individual reference pages mix those numbers between a heading and the node description. Treat the in-game Melodies of Peace reward chain as final: claim the first Wallstride node, then keep submitting until both are owned.
Check the current region's Exploration level and permit item. Learning a Lightness Skill and receiving permission to use it are separate gates.
Track Afterglow under Qinghe Jianghu Legacies. If it is not listed, speak to the Moonveil Mountain Wayfarer first.
Finish the Afterglow Jianghu Legacy as well as Qinghe Exploration Level 4. The item enables a learned skill; it does not teach one by itself.
Raise Kaifeng Exploration to its own permit milestone. Qinghe's Afterglow Pendant is region-specific.
Use the widening gaps as the cue to add jumps. A fall returns you to the last jar, so continue from the checkpoint and save the dash for the final gap.
Open the Melodies of Peace reward chain and claim the reached node. Swiftstride and Shadowdash are separate milestones, not one combined skill.
Use the in-game reward chain as the final authority. The current consolidated Lightness list places Swiftstride at 21 and Shadowdash at 45; some individual guide copy mixes its headings and node text.

Complete Jianghu Legacy 05: Afterglow to learn Meteor Flight, then reach the Exploration milestone that grants the current region's flight permit. In Qinghe, that is Exploration Level 4 and the Afterglow Pendant.
Lightness Skills have two gates: the skill itself and a region-specific permit. Check the permit for the region where the cast is failing; Qinghe and Kaifeng do not share one unlock.
Collect Oddities, submit them through the Melodies of Peace reward chain, and claim the Wallstride nodes. The current consolidated route lists Swiftstride at 21 submitted Oddities and Shadowdash at 45 total.
Their effects and shared Qinghe Oddity route map to Wallstride - Swiftstride and Wallstride - Shadowdash. 飛簷步仞 is the wall-and-eaves move; 飛簷逐影 is the fast ground and water-running move.
No. Owning Meteor Flight, Thousand-Mile Flight, Fan Glider or Wind Rider gives you a flight style, but each region still requires its own Exploration permit.
Safe Mighty Drop is the movement skill built for that job. It is a first-clear reward from Mysterious Outpost in western Moonveil Mountain.
