During the Southern Song Dynasty, with internal strife and external threats, martial arts feuds were incessant. Guo Jing and Huang Rong's family left Peach Blossom Island in order to look for Huang Yaoshi and returned to Central Plains. They coincidentally met Yang Guo, the son of Yang Kang. Seeing that he was young and lacked care, Guo Jing took him back to Peach Blossom Island to raise him.
Jing sent him to the Chongyang Palace to learn martial arts. Due to his rebellious and stubborn personality, Guo often offended his master and accidentally trespassed into the forbidden area at the back of the mountain to avoid trouble. He was saved by Grandma Sun and brought into the Ancient Tomb, where the owner of the tomb, Little Dragon Maiden, accepted him as a disciple. She taught him the exclusive skills of the Ancient Tomb Sect, and together they studied the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra. After Grandma Sun passed away, the two of them relied on each other for survival, their hearts deeply connected.
