Unlocking Lone Cloud takes some progress. First, you need to reach a higher level in the main game before the sect options open up. When the Sects menu becomes available, look for Lone Cloud and hit the Entry Clue button. This clue points you toward Kaifeng.

There, you need to find an NPC near the outer wall on the east side close to water. He is usually sitting and drinking tea. Talk to him and you’ll be given a small logic test or task.

Completing that lets you join the sect. Some players say the sect sometimes stays locked depending on your server region or quest progress, so you may need to advance your story before the NPC reacts.
