I remember in Condor Heroes, it was stated that the knowledge contained in 9 Yin is practically limitless. You can practice it on and on and still improve, so it would be incorrect to say that Guo Jing truely mastered the 9 Yin.
Guo Jing was never, is not, and will never be anywhere as strong as Huang Shang. Guo Jing never fully mastered the 9 Yin...... at least not to the extent that Huang Shang has.
Of course Guo Jing can't beat Sweeper. But I believe Huang Shang can. He's excluded himself from the world for 60 years focusing only on martial arts, and even prior to the meditation he was already one of the best martial artists in the world.
