In the primordial age, the Qingxian Tribe passes down its art through the sound of the qin, but its people are repeatedly bullied because they are poor fighters. When disaster strikes, the young Su Qingyuan inherits the tribe's treasured artifact, the Primordial Qin, and unexpectedly discovers that its music can draw in spiritual energy and defeat enemies. Seeking a way to protect her tribe and uncover the truth of the qin, she sets off alone across the primordial wilderness. At Luofeng Ridge, she meets the wandering swordsman Xiao Yi. The two hit it off and become companions, and their teamwork, using music to distract enemies and swift swordplay to break formations, grows increasingly seamless.
Together, they explore the secret realm of Wangyou Valley, solve musical puzzles, obtain the legacy of the Grand Music Art, and uncover the connection between the Primordial Qin and ancient mighty beings. After accidentally entering Dragon territory, Su Qingyuan uses the calming sound of her qin to resolve an internal conflict among the dragons and is given the Spiritbond String. She also learns that the ancient qin once protected living beings during the war between gods and demons. Their journey continues, but the mysterious force known as the Eroding Sound Pavilion pursues them relentlessly, seeking the ancient qin to resurrect a demon god. Through a series of fierce battles, the pair hone their skills and meet the erudite Mr. Meng, gradually unraveling the secrets of the ancient qin's runes.
To fight the Eroding Sound Pavilion, Su Qingyuan and Xiao Yi travel throughout the primordial wilderness. She heals an elder of the Phoenix Tribe with her music and communicates with the spirit plants of the Witch Tribe, while Xiao Yi earns the respect of the various clans with his swordsmanship, bringing about an alliance of the Human, Phoenix, and Witch Tribes. At last, in the climactic battle at the Demonfall Platform, the two unleash the astonishing union of qin and sword.
