Investigate the Strange Light Orb

Genshin - Blues of the Old World - Investigate the Strange Light Orb
The light orb will float away upon interacting with it. Follow the quest marker and make your way forward through the passage until you spot a mole emerging from the ground.

Find a Way to Open the Energy Barrier

The mole will dig into the ground again and emerge on the other side of the barrier. To open the barrier, you'll need to verify the nearby ID card on the Barrier Generators. The ID card can be found as a bipolar object on a crate on the other side of the barrier.

After attracting it towards you, step onto the blue Unipolar Field nearby and stand on its right side so you can align the ID card with the line of Barrier Generators. Once it's aligned properly, jump up to scan the ID through all the generators and unlock the barrier!

Follow the Strange Light Orb

Continue following the strange light orb through the passage. You'll need to jump across some stone pillars and make use of your empowered state to open up the way forward.

Don’t activate the quest and come back to it - I came back to it and can no longer progress. There’s nothing the area for me to interact with, yet it keeps pointing me back to the quest area.
