After arriving in Hexi, the Desert Without Sails Jianghu Legacy will begin. Repair the three flickering orbs and strike the drum on top of the giant boat that is stranded in the middle of the desert. This will clear up the sandstorm, which will unlock the first Hexi sub-region, Jade Gate Pass.

Activate Moonleap Morph to Travel Faster

Immediately after the end of Desert Without Sails, if you look left you'll see a glowing aura with an orb at the center. Investigate the orb to activate the Moonleap Morph Mystic Skill, which allows you to traverse the terrain of Hexi much more efficiently.
