"Sword Guardian, that sword must have quite a pedigree, right?"
Someone asked curiously.
"This sword does indeed have quite a story. Its original name is the Crimson Jade Lover Sword."
"Look closely — the body of this sword is not forged from steel or iron. It was carved from a single piece of jade." The Sword Guardian pointed at the red longsword as he spoke.
"It really looks like it. Unbelievable — a piece of jade actually made into a Half-Exalted Armament, and one of such fine quality?"
"That is no ordinary jade. It must be a rare and precious treasure of heaven and earth."
Everyone stared intently at the sword. Once they confirmed that it was indeed carved from jade, the envy in their eyes toward Yin Zhuanghong only deepened.
"The creator of this Crimson Jade Lover Sword was a Spirit World Master who was renowned throughout the Holy Light Galaxy. Due to his reclusive nature and his lifelong obsession with the art of forging weapons, he was known as the Madman Forger."
"The Madman Forger, owing to his temperament, barely interacted with anyone. The weapons he forged were kept by himself alone — he never gifted them to others, nor did he ever sell them."
"But one day, he suddenly fell in love with a woman. He then took out two treasures he had treasured for a long time, intending to forge them into weapons as gifts for her."
"These two treasures were divine jade stones that had fallen from the heavens. The Madman Forger had paid an enormous price to obtain them."
"Though both descended from the sky and both were excellent forging materials, they were different types of jade — one red and one blue."
"Thus, the two weapons he forged were a blue sword and a red sword."
"The Madman Forger named them the Blue Jade Lover Sword and the Crimson Jade Lover Sword."
"He kept the Blue Jade Lover Sword for himself, while the Crimson Jade Lover Sword was intended as a gift for the woman he adored."
"Sadly, before he could give it to her, the woman died. The Madman Forger fell into deep sorrow and eventually perished himself."
"Before his death, he destroyed all the weapons he had ever crafted — except for the Blue Jade Lover Sword and the Crimson Jade Lover Sword, which he left behind."
"Some say the reason he didn't destroy those two swords is that they held within them his love for that woman, carrying his longing and remembrance of her, so he simply couldn't bring himself to destroy them."
"Regardless, the Blue Jade Lover Sword and the Crimson Jade Lover Sword are indeed the only weapons forged by the Madman Forger that have survived to this day," the Sword Guardian said.
"So you're saying the Crimson Jade Lover Sword and the Blue Jade Lover Sword are a pair?"
"Like a couple's matching swords?" someone asked.
The Sword Guardian smiled, and that warm smile of his gave everyone their answer. Then he said, "I'll be honest — the Blue Jade Lover Sword is actually also inside the Divine Body Tomb."
"Really?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's excitement surged, their eyes filled with eager anticipation.
Everyone could see how much Yin Zhuanghong loved the Crimson Jade Lover Sword in her hand.
If someone could obtain the Blue Jade Lover Sword, they would be able to wield matching swords with Yin Zhuanghong — that was practically every man's dream come true.
Not to mention anyone else — even the eyes of Nangong Yifan were filled with intense anticipation.
"The Divine Body Tomb — at the earliest, when can it be opened?"
Nangong Yifan asked the Sword Guardian. Everyone understood his intentions. He was desperate to re-enter the Divine Body Tomb to claim the Blue Jade Lover Sword.
"That's hard to say. At the earliest, it would take three years. At the latest, it could be over a decade or even several decades."
The Sword Guardian said.
Upon hearing this, the anticipation in Nangong Yifan's eyes dimmed considerably.
Each time the Divine Body Tomb opened, it happened without any warning, and once opened, it would close again within a short period of time.
