There are plenty of secret tasks players can perform in Chenyu Vale of Genshin Impact, some of which have no prompt and people simply have to pay attention to understand the assignment.

Among the hidden missions is finding five Ancient Swordman's Inscriptions locations in Genshin Impact, which always involve a sword that’s pierced on the ground and left to become one with the earth. As it’s implied that the weapon was left there by a rather eccentric figure, it’s no surprise that the swords are always located in hard-to-reach and secluded places. Thankfully, with a little guide, it’s easy to locate all Ancient Swordman's Inscriptions to obtain the Five Blades Return to Wangshan achievement in Genshin Impact.

The first Sword grants a mere 10k Mora, then it goes up slowly to Common, Exquisite, Precious, and finally a Luxurious Chest in Genshin Impact.

Guhua Clan In Genshin Impact

There are some stories of mortals that were so influential in Teyvat that they ended up ascending to Celestia. Among the humans that ascend, the two most prominent ones are Vennessa, the gladiator of Mondstadt, and Guhua, a mythical figure of Liyue.

While playing with some characters in Genshin Impact, players may notice that the four-star Liyue character, Xingqiu, is introduced as a disciple of the Guhua Clan. Despite using the name of the famous figure, Guhua himself actually has no direct relation to the clan. His name was simply used by a close friend who also adapts the fighting style of the adeptus and teaches it to the disciple of the clan.

A long time ago, Guhua Clan was a well-known group, but currently, it’s in a sad state, which is why when players arrive at Guhua Clan’s Wangshan Hall, they will find it in a sad condition. After obtaining the key from Huang the Third to explore deeper into the Hall, players will eventually stumble upon the first of five Ancient Swordman’s Inscriptions in Genshin Impact.
