Trivia[]

According to Issue 2 of the Teyvat Times, Domain of Blessing: Frost II^{[Note 1]} is the domain that travelers have been most likely to fail in both Co-Op Mode and Single Player.
The Achievement to unlock this Domain is also called Hidden Palace of Zhou Formula.
This is one of two regular domain entrances that does not have a Solomon's knot above it, the other being Cecilia Garden.

Etymology[]

"Guicang" (Chinese: 归藏 "Return to the Hidden"), "Lianshan" (Chinese: 连山), and "Zhou Yi" (Chinese: 周易 "Changes of Zhou") were three independent ancient Chinese arts of divination collectively known as the "Three Changes" (Chinese: 三易 Sānyì). These names are the basis for the three "Hidden Palace of [Name] Formula" domains: Hidden Palace of Guizang Formula, Hidden Palace of Lianshan Formula, and Hidden Palace of Zhou Formula.
This is the only Hidden Palace domain whose English name does not reflect its Chinese name, as the Chinese name changed between the Closed Beta Tests and the game's global release while the original English name was retained.
- The Chinese name translates along the lines of "Hidden Palace that Takes Responsibility for Wuwang," referring to the formulas used to seal away the serpent at Wuwang Hill.
