Where Winds Meet hides some of its most rewarding content behind secret entrances, illusionary routes, and optional exploration challenges scattered across regions like Kaifeng and Qinghe.
Among these mysterious locations, Ghostlight Market, Dreamscape Blissful Retreat, and Thousand-Buddha’s Cavern stand out as major hidden hubs packed with rare activities, quests, boss encounters, and secret skills.
Reaching them requires curiosity and puzzle-style progression — making them essential destinations for completionists and Sentient Beings hunters.
Ghostlight Market
Ghostlight Market is an underground, hidden-style location in the Kaifeng region — accessed via a secret “coffin shop” entrance. It’s considered one of the more mysterious, hidden hubs in the game, likely offering unique NPCs, hidden quests, or rare items not found in the main overworld.
How to unlock/get there
There are two known ways to enter the Ghostlight Market.
- The “coffin shop” in Kaifeng serves as a disguised entrance to the market.
- There may be alternative secret triggers — e.g. interacting with certain NPCs or items (depending on game progress/server).
Because of its hidden nature, many players treat Ghostlight Market as a “secret area” — meaning you need to explore Kaifeng carefully, check shops/back-alleys, or follow rumors/quests that point you toward the coffin shop.

Dreamscape Blissful Retreat
Dreamscape Blissful Retreat is a special “Dream Realm” version of the “Blissful Retreat” area in Qinghe. It acts as an alternate hidden or parallel version of the standard map — useful for accessing hidden quests or completing “Sentient Beings / Oddities / Exploration” content that may have been missed during the normal story flow.
You can interact with Yi Dao (Killerblade)’s sword in the ruins of Blissful Retreat to start a short quest that sends you into the Dream Realm.
How to unlock/get there
Head to the ruins of Blissful Retreat in Qinghe. In the ruins, find Yi Dao’s sword (often called “Killerblade’s sword”) — interacting with it triggers the entrance to the Dreamscape.

Thousand‑Buddha's Cavern
Buddha’s Fort is one of the subregions listed in the exploration guide for Qinghe / its expanded regions. According to the explorations, Buddha Fort contains “Hidden Paths” and potentially secret areas/activities tied to “Oddities / Sentient Beings / Exploration Guide.”
Thousand-Buddha’s Cavern seems to be a deeper, cavernous hidden zone inside Buddha’s Fort — possibly tied to endgame or exploration-heavy content, like oddities, hidden paths, or rare treasures.
How to unlock/get there
- Head to Buddha’s Fort, one of the exploration zones linked to Qinghe. You can get here during exploration or the Promised Light quest.
- One of these hidden passages leads into the Thousand-Buddha’s Cavern — a large underground chamber filled with statues, oddities, and exploration loot.
