Sky Shuttle is not usable yet as of July 30, 2026; it is slated for the August 6, 2026 Rising Beyond update and is expected to unlock after Jianghu Legacy – Volume 02 in Jadestream Valley, then work as a Hidden Mountain rail transport system.
That makes this a preparation guide, not a boarding walkthrough. You can set up the Version 2.0 region access now, then return to Jadestream Valley when Rising Beyond opens the shuttle content.
Sky Shuttle status on July 30, 2026
| Detail | Answer |
|---|---|
| Current status | Not usable in-game as of July 30, 2026 |
| Release timing | August 6, 2026, with the Rising Beyond update |
| Live nearby content | Version 2.0 and Hidden Mountain are already live |
| Region | Hidden Mountain, tied to Jadestream Valley |
| Unlock trigger | Complete Jianghu Legacy – Volume 02 when that content is live |
| Use | Rail-style movement between set Hidden Mountain areas |
Sky Shuttle is part of the Version 2.0 content cycle, but it is not part of the day-one Hidden Mountain launch. The table below separates what is live from what arrives in the follow-up update.
Because this part arrives with the August 6, 2026 update, treat the Jianghu Legacy – Volume 02 wording as subject to the live patch text.
How to unlock Sky Shuttle after Rising Beyond
Reach Lv 32
Level your character to Lv 32, the entry gate for Hidden Mountain.
Finish Haven Astray
Complete the Haven Astray main quest to open Hidden Mountain.
Go to Jadestream Valley
Head into Jadestream Valley, the Hidden Mountain area tied to Sky Shuttle.
Complete Jianghu Legacy – Volume 02
Clear Jianghu Legacy – Volume 02 there to unlock the Sky Shuttle system.
How Sky Shuttle travel works
Sky Shuttle is a rail-style transport system built around the Mohist machinery of Hidden Mountain. Think of it as a route network that carries you between predefined points instead of a mount, glider, or player-controlled flight mode.
Its purpose is local traversal: crossing difficult terrain, linking separate areas, and helping you reach places that are awkward to approach with normal movement. You are using the shuttle route, not freely steering through the air.
KEY!It also is not a replacement for broader map travel. Use Sky Shuttle for Hidden Mountain movement, then rely on the regular world travel systems when you need to move outside the region.
Sky Shuttle is not Sky’s the Limit
| Feature | What it is |
|---|---|
| Sky Shuttle | Hidden Mountain rail or shuttle transport tied to Jadestream Valley and Jianghu Legacy – Volume 02 |
| Sky’s the Limit | A Wandering Tale in Shenze near Millenium Crossing, involving Zhou Fei |
| Flying and Lightness Skills | Movement abilities such as Meteor Flight, Thousand-Mile Flight, Fan Glider, and Wind Rider |
| Clockwork Aircraft | Mohist aircraft traversal in Hidden Mountain for elevated movement |
| Boundary Stones | Regular fast travel points for the broader world, separate from shuttle routes |
The easy mistake is chasing anything with “sky” in the name. Sky’s the Limit is the wrong target for this unlock: it is a Wandering Tale in Shenze, not the shuttle path in Hidden Mountain.
Unlock Hidden Mountain before August 6 so you can start from Jadestream Valley instead of clearing the regional gate after Sky Shuttle goes live.
Prep for the August 6 Sky Shuttle update
Before Rising Beyond, spend your time inside Hidden Mountain rather than chasing unrelated side quests. Learn Jadestream Valley landmarks, vertical paths, and the places where traversal feels gated by terrain.
Skip farming Sky’s the Limit for this feature. It has its own rewards, but it does not move the Sky Shuttle unlock path forward.
