A second revision was published in early 2005, incorporating later thoughts and a lengthier conclusion. It also introduced many changes to the plot and cleared up some ambiguities in the second edition, such as the origin of the <i>Nine Yang Manual</i>. As typical of some of his other novels, Jin Yong included elements of Chinese history in the story, such as featuring historical figures like <a href="/wiki/Hongwu_Emperor" title="Hongwu Emperor">Hongwu Emperor</a>, <a href="/wiki/Chen_Youliang" title="Chen Youliang">Chen Youliang</a>, <a href="/wiki/Chang_Yuchun" title="Chang Yuchun">Chang Yuchun</a> and <a href="/wiki/Zhang_Sanfeng" title="Zhang Sanfeng">Zhang Sanfeng</a>.

According to a widely circulated mantra, either or both of them are thought to allow their wielder to rule the <i><a href="/wiki/Jianghu" title="Jianghu">wulin</a></i> (martial artists' community), which is divided into an "orthodox" side comprising schools such as <a href="/wiki/Wudang_School" class="mw-redirect" title="Wudang School">Wudang</a> and <a href="/wiki/Shaolin_School" class="mw-redirect" title="Shaolin School">Shaolin</a>, and an "evil" side represented by the <a href="/wiki/Ming_Cult" title="Ming Cult">Ming Cult</a>, which is also unflatteringly called the "Demonic Cult". At the start of the novel, the Heaven-Reliant Sword is in the possession of Abbess Miejue, the leader of the "orthodox" <a href="/wiki/Emei_School" class="mw-redirect" title="Emei School">Emei School</a>, while the Dragon-Slaying Saber is seized by "Golden-Haired Lion King" Xie Xun, a senior member of the Ming Cult. </p><p>The protagonist, <a href="/wiki/Zhang_Wuji" title="Zhang Wuji">Zhang Wuji</a>, has a mixed background: his father, Zhang Cuishan, is a disciple of <a href="/wiki/Zhang_Sanfeng" title="Zhang Sanfeng">Zhang Sanfeng</a>, the highly revered founder of the Wudang School; his mother, Yin Susu, is the daughter of Yin Tianzheng, the chief of the <a href="/wiki/Ming_Cult#Heavenly_Eagle_Cult" title="Ming Cult">Heavenly Eagle Cult</a> which is affiliated to the Ming Cult. He was born on a reclusive <a href="/wiki/Volcanic_island" title="Volcanic island">volcanic island</a>, where he spent his childhood with only his parents and his godfather, Xie Xun. When Zhang Wuji was about 10 years old, his parents brought him back to the mainland; Xie Xun remained on the island. After their return, the Zhang family soon find themselves the target of many <i>wulin</i> figures seeking the whereabouts of Xie Xun and the Dragon-Slaying Saber. Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu refuse to reveal Xie Xun's location and ultimately commit suicide when they are cornered, leaving behind Zhang Wuji as an orphan. </p><p>Zhang Wuji, who had been kidnapped and injured earlier, roams the land in search of a cure. By chance, he wanders into an isolated valley, where he discovers the long-lost <i><a href="/wiki/Jiuyang_Zhenjing" title="Jiuyang Zhenjing">Nine Yang Manual</a></i> and uses the <a href="/wiki/Neigong" title="Neigong">inner energy</a> skills described in the manual to heal himself and become a formidable martial artist. Through a series of serendipitous events, he also learns the Ming Cult's most powerful skill, "Heaven and Earth Great Shift". He gets involved in the conflict between the Ming Cult and the six major "orthodox" schools, which are bent on destroying the cult, and helps both sides resolve their past misunderstandings and make peace with each other. The cult members are grateful to Zhang Wuji and insist that he takes up the cult's leadership position, which has been vacant for years. After becoming the Ming Cult's leader, Zhang Wuji reforms the cult and becomes a key figure in leading the <i>wulin</i> and rebel forces to overthrow the Yuan dynasty. </p><p>Throughout his adventures, Zhang Wuji finds himself entangled in a complex web of love relationships with four maidens. The first, Zhu'er, is a horribly disfigured girl who is actually his maternal cousin. The second, Xiaozhao, is a Chinese-Persian servant girl who understands him very well. Xiaozhao has to leave China after learning that she is destined to return to Persia to lead the Persian Ming Cult. </p><p>The third maiden, <a href="/wiki/Zhou_Zhiruo" title="Zhou Zhiruo">Zhou Zhiruo</a>, is Zhang Wuji's childhood friend. She falls in love with him, but has to turn against him as she is bound by an oath she made to her <a href="/wiki/Shifu" title="Shifu">martial arts master</a>, Abbess Miejue, who hates and distrusts Zhang Wuji and anyone related to the Ming Cult. Miejue devises a vicious scheme for Zhou Zhiruo to seize the two weapons by exploiting Zhang Wuji's love for her apprentice. Zhou Zhiruo also turns vicious after Zhang Wuji reneges his promise to marry her and swears vengeance on him. </p><p>The fourth maiden, Zhao Min, is a Mongol princess and Zhang Wuji's former arch-rival. Although Zhao Min and Zhang Wuji are initially on opposing sides, Zhao Min gradually falls in love with Zhang Wuji after their various encounters and eventually turns against her fellow Mongols to help him. </p><p>At the end of the novel, Zhang Wuji decides to retire from the <i>wulin</i> after he mistakenly believes that the Ming Cult's members are plotting to betray him. He decides that Zhao Min is his true love and they leave to lead a reclusive life far away from society. The second edition of the novel has an ambiguous ending about Zhang Wuji's relationship with Zhou Zhiruo. Zhang Wuji gave up an opportunity to become a ruler when the Ming Cult is on the verge of overthrowing the Yuan dynasty. Ideally, Zhang Wuji would have become the new emperor. However, his subordinate <a href="/wiki/Hongwu_Emperor" title="Hongwu Emperor">Zhu Yuanzhang</a> seizes control of the Ming Cult and unites most of China's rebel forces under his leadership. After capturing <a href="/wiki/Nanjing" title="Nanjing">Nanjing</a>, Zhu Yuanzhang becomes the new emperor and establishes the <a href="/wiki/Ming_dynasty" title="Ming dynasty">Ming dynasty</a>. </p><p>In 2005, Jin Yong published a third edition of the novel, which has a slightly different ending from the earlier versions. In this edition, Zhang Wuji feels disillusioned after failing to save a general's life and addressing Han Lin'er's death. He relinquishes his leadership of the Ming Cult to his deputies, Yang Xiao and Fan Yao, and then leaves the <a href="/wiki/Zhongyuan" title="Zhongyuan">Central Plain</a> with Zhao Min.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="The_two_weapons">The two weapons</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Heaven_Sword_and_Dragon_Saber&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: The two weapons"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="The_origins">The origins</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Heaven_Sword_and_Dragon_Saber&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: The origins"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The two titular weapons, the Heaven Reliant Sword (<span lang="zh">倚天劍</span>) and the Dragon Slaying Saber (<span lang="zh">屠龍刀</span>), were forged from the Heavy Iron Sword, which <a href="/wiki/Yang_Guo" title="Yang Guo">Yang Guo</a> wielded in <i><a href="/wiki/The_Return_of_the_Condor_Heroes" title="The Return of the Condor Heroes">The Return of the Condor Heroes</a></i>. </p><p>The Heavy Iron Sword belonged to <a href="/wiki/Dugu_Qiubai" title="Dugu Qiubai">Dugu Qiubai</a>, a great swordsman whose skills were unmatched in his time.

Similarly, concealed in the blade of the Heaven Sword are two scrolls detailing the <a href="/wiki/Jiuyin_Zhenjing" title="Jiuyin Zhenjing">Nine Yin Manual</a> and Guo Jing's <a href="/wiki/Beggars%27_Gang#Eighteen_Subduing_Dragon_Palms" title="Beggars' Gang">Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms</a>. </p><p>The Dragon Saber was given to Guo Jing and <a href="/wiki/Huang_Rong" title="Huang Rong">Huang Rong</a>'s son Guo Polu, while their younger daughter Guo Xiang inherited the Heaven Sword. </p><p>The content of the hidden book and scrolls, in addition to the fact that the weapons can only be damaged and broken when used against each other, was the source of the claim that whoever possesses the Dragon Saber will rule the world and yet only the one who possesses the Heaven Sword can stand against the wielder of the Saber. </p><p>The secret of the weapons was passed down only from the leader of each generation of the <a href="/wiki/Emei_School" class="mw-redirect" title="Emei School">Emei School</a> to her successor. Miejue is succeeded by Zhou Zhiruo and the secret is passed on to the latter. In the novel, Zhou Zhiruo gains possession of both weapons through her cunning and deception and she breaks them to obtain their contents. </p><p>In the latest revision, two halves of an iron-plated map are hidden in the weapons instead of manuals. Once pieced together, the map points out the location of <a href="/wiki/Taohua_Island" title="Taohua Island">Peach Blossom Island</a>, where the manuals are hidden. Jin Yong reasoned that the change was due to a possibility that the dissection of the weapons will cause the manuals to be burnt, hence two pieces of an iron-plated map would be better substitutes.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Analogy">Analogy</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Heaven_Sword_and_Dragon_Saber&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Analogy"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In Chinese culture, the <a href="/wiki/Chinese_dragon" title="Chinese dragon">Dragon</a> is a symbol of the emperor or sovereign ruler. The full translated name of the Dragon Saber is "Dragon Slaying Saber", which implies that it is used to "slay the emperor". In this case, the "emperor" refers to <a href="/wiki/Ukhaantu_Khan,_Emperor_Huizong_of_Yuan" class="mw-redirect" title="Ukhaantu Khan, Emperor Huizong of Yuan">Emperor Huizong</a> of the <a href="/wiki/Yuan_dynasty" title="Yuan dynasty">Yuan dynasty</a>. </p><p>Throughout Chinese history, several monarchs have become tyrants, just like when the mythical Dragon goes out of control and becomes a menace. The Heaven Sword's full translated name is "Heaven Reliant Sword" as it embodies Heaven. In Chinese culture, the emperor is respectfully called the "<a href="/wiki/Chinese_sovereign" title="Chinese sovereign">Son of Heaven</a>", which implies that Heaven is the ultimate authority in determining who will be the ruler of China. </p><p>It can thus be interpreted as such: The secret in the Dragon Slaying Saber can be used to "kill" (dethrone) the (Mongol) emperor and replace him with another (<a href="/wiki/Han_Chinese" title="Han Chinese">Han Chinese</a>) ruler. Ideally, a brilliant military leader can use the <i>Book of Wumu</i> to its full potential by staging a rebellion to overthrow the Yuan dynasty and restore Han Chinese rule. However, if the new emperor turns out to be an incompetent monarch or a tyrant, a martial artist can master the skills from the manuals in the Heaven Reliant Sword, assassinate the emperor and replace him with a wise and benevolent ruler.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.
