Fu Hua did not know how to respond. Hong Meiling had definitely misunderstood; this was not the Xuanyuan Sword from myth.
However, the name Xuanyuan Sword did indeed come from Princess Xuanyuan. In the Honkai world, after Fu Hua, Cang Xuan, and Zhu Dan gave Ji Lin a Key of Domination, she used it to unify the Central Plains.
The girl's achievements also earned this Divine Key the reputation of a divine artifact in history, which was how the name Xuanyuan Sword came about.
"...M-Master, I can't accept something this precious." Upon hearing Fu Hua confirm it, Hong Meiling refused without even thinking. Setting aside the fact that she did not like using swords, having something so valuable in her hands would make her uneasy.
"Don't rush to refuse. This Xuanyuan Sword is not the one belonging to Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan. You can think of it as... a replica. Besides... the Intent Envelopment in Tai Xu Sword Qi can only be mastered with the Xuanyuan Sword."
Though she was pleased with Hong Meiling's reaction, Fu Hua had not been testing her. She had intended to give it to her from the start.
"A replica? Intent Envelopment needs the Xuanyuan Sword to succeed?"
Hong Meiling was utterly stunned. Tai Xu Sword Qi was far too finicky! It had to have the Xuanyuan Sword to succeed?
Still, the word replica put her at ease. If it was only a replica, the pressure in her heart would not be so great.
"Yes. The Intent Envelopment of the Tai Xu Five Envelopments requires the Xuanyuan Sword to be mastered. Once your heart and mind resonate with the Xuanyuan Sword, sword intent will naturally take shape. In truth... the true secret of Tai Xu Sword Qi lies neither in its cultivation method nor its techniques,
