Legacy
Before leaving for good, Yang Guo and Xiaolongnü gave Guo Xiang their Gentleman and Lady Swords and the Heavy Iron Sword. In The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, it is revealed that the swords were later melted and forged to become the Heaven Reliant Sword and Dragon Slaying Saber.
Guo Jing wrote the Nine Yin Manual from memory during the siege of Xiangyang. He also wrote a martial arts manual for his Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. The scrolls were hidden inside the blade of the Heaven Reliant Sword. Guo Jing also detailed all his military experiences and knowledge from the Book of Wumu on a piece of cloth and hid it inside the blade of the Dragon Slaying Saber. The Heaven Reliant Sword was brought out of Xiangyang by Guo Xiang before the city was conquered, while the Dragon Slaying Saber fell into the hands of the Mongols after Guo Polu's death. The heroics of Guo Jing and Huang Rong became legendary tales and were occasionally mentioned in The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber.
