A new region on the Eastern continent, Jingxuan, has opened in Perfect World. There, players will be able to take part in events related to uncovering the conspiracy of the eponymous clan. Additionally, the location allows players to showcase their skills in solo battles against a new boss as well as in a group during battles with a new world boss.

The update also affected key character development systems. The new stage of the soul development of Pan Gu – Soul of the Sword. Players will be able to delve deeper into the Heart of Pan Gu and utilize a new set of Sword relics. To reach this stage of development, secret knowledge must be gathered in the new location. For the first five levels of this soul, as with previous souls, players receive additional attributes.

Secret knowledge of this Soul can be accumulated by completing the daily quest “Pan Gu's Grace,” as well as exploring the new location and engaging in related activities: solving riddles, gathering resources, defeating the boss, unlocking teleportation points, and completing storyline missions.

Also in the update:

  • Star Disk Improvement. Now players whose Star Luck has reached level 6 and above can upgrade each individual star in their disk.
  • Additional way to obtain and improve 9th rank equipment. This innovation will ease the process of obtaining high-level gear.
  • **Skill Overhaul for most game classes.** Mages, druids, mystics, and shamans are now better protected from negative effects, bards received a significant boost to one of their skills, and reapermen were given the “Confidence” effect during transformation. All classes also gained a new Pan Gu skill.
  • Updated “Beginner's Path.” Now the rewards include materials for crafting 9th rank equipment, experience pills, spiritual knowledge, a level 9 rune, and a box with a map from one of the strongest sets — “Gates of the Black Soul.”
  • Monthly Celestial Map now allows players to activate a bonus upon purchase, granting access to additional gifts for daily activity: in addition to “Cloud Dust,” players will receive “Gift of the Celestial” meteorites from which up to 10 Great meteorites may drop.
  • More customization content: the game has expanded its assortment of stylish costumes, mounts, flying vehicles, and new sets of decorative weapons.

By the way, the organizers of the Perfect World fan party dedicated to the game's 18th anniversary (the very one where the update with the Jingxuan region was announced) published a video compilation of the event.
