“The handprint of the Ancient Buddha Kasyapa？”
Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping was also looked confused.
“Yes, the thunder flame you summoned should belong to a branch of the Guiyuan True Fire. Although this Guiyuan True Fire can burn all tangible things in the world, it is also one of the most difficult to control among the several major true fires.”
“Now, if you want to seal this thunder flame, you can only rely on the handprint passed down by the Ancient Buddha Kasyapa.”
Master Kasyapa replied.
Xu Taiping didn’t expect that Master Kasyapa could actually tell the origin of his thunder flame in one word.
However, compared to this, what he cared more about was the handprint of the Ancient Buddha Kasyapa. After all, if the thunder flame is not extinguished, those Yin Gods are probably going to fall.
“Master Kasyapa, what is the wonder of the handprint of the ancient Buddha？”
Xu Taiping immediately asked Master Kasyapa.
After a moment of silence, Master Kasyapa replied：
“This handprint of the ancient Buddha Kasyapa is also known as the Seal of Subduing and Swallowing the Sea. When the handprint is sacrificed, it can swallow the attack from an opponent at the Asking Heaven Realm and below and turn it into one’s own use.”
Hearing this, Xu Taiping’s heart trembled.
“Any attack？”
Xu Taiping confirmed with Master Kasyapa.
“Well, but if facing an opponent with a cultivation level above the Asking Heaven Realm, it depends on the specific cultivation level of the person sacrificing the handprint.”
Master Kasyapa replied.
“If this is really the case, then it is indeed possible to extinguish this Thunder Flame.”
After listening to Master Kasyapa’s explanation, Xu Taiping finally let out a sigh of relief.
If this Thunder Flame is not extinguished, he can indeed escape, but what about his senior sister and the others？
“Master Kasyapa, the matter cannot be delayed. Please teach me this handprint.”
The situation was urgent, so Xu Taiping was no longer polite and directly asked Master Kasyapa.
However, Master Kasyapa remained silent at this time.
“Master Kasyapa, is there any difficulty？”
Seeing that the number of blood-colored pupils in the sky was increasing, Xu Taiping couldn’t help but urge.
In his opinion, if Master Kasyapa had difficulties and was unable to teach him the ancient Buddha’s Seal of Swallowing the Sea, then he would have to find a way to take Senior Sister Linglong and the others away from here as soon as possible.
“Benefactor Taiping, you should know that these handprints personally passed down by Kasyapa Buddha have only been passed on to Buddhist disciples. And you, Benefactor Taiping, are not a Buddhist disciple. If I were to forcefully pass on the Dharma to you, there is a high probability that you would be backlashed by the Heavenly Dao.”
Master Kasyapa said with some hesitation.
His worry was not unfounded. After all, Xu Taiping was a Taoist disciple. Accepting the Buddhist inheritance rashly might indeed be unacceptable to the Heavenly Dao. There have been countless such examples throughout history.
“Forgive this old monk for speaking frankly. It’s okay for martial arts, Taoism, and Confucianism. However, most of those who practice both Taoist and Buddhist techniques don’t end well.”
Master Kasyapa said again at this time.
At this critical juncture, what he was calculating was naturally not a few sets of techniques, but worried about Xu Taiping’s future.
Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping also furrowed his brows.
Regarding the matter that the techniques of Buddhism and Taoism cannot be cultivated together, he had also read about it in some ancient books. Indeed, many cultivators were ultimately backlashed by the Heavenly Dao when crossing the tribulation.
For example, the extraterrestrial demons encountered during the tribulation would be stronger, and there would be more tribulation thunders.
However, immediately, he thought of Fairy Lingyue again. Because Fairy Lingyue was obviously also a cultivator who cultivated both Buddhism and Taoism. He immediately thought secretly in his heart：
”Since Sister Lingyue dares to give it a try, why should I be afraid？ Moreover, there is simply no better way to extinguish this Thunder Flame at the moment.”
Immediately afterwards, he seriously transmitted his voice to Master Kasyapa and said：
”Master Kasyapa, after all, this Thunder Flame was summoned by me. If I really suffer a backlash from the Heavenly Dao after practicing this handprint, it is also my destined calamity.”
So please, Master Kasyapa, be sure to teach me this Tuntian Seal.
Once these words were spoken, that Master Kasyapa fell silent again for a while.
Suddenly, a voice that seemed to be crying and laughing came from the sky, and only then did the voice of Master Kasyapa ring out again in Xu Taiping’s mind——
”Since Donor Taiping you dare not fear the heavenly condemnation, then this old monk will make an exception and pass on the method of this Tuntian Seal to Donor Taiping you.”
Immediately afterwards, Xu Taiping sensed that a divine sense containing powerful mana surged into his mind like a tide.
Then, an obscure scripture, a strange handprint, and large sections of annotations about this scripture and handprint emerged from that divine sense.
Because it was directly passed on by Master Kasyapa, this saved Xu Taiping the time of comprehension and he only needed to perform the handprint according to the method.
After almost figuring out all this, Xu Taiping chanted the scriptures while flying towards the direction of the thunder and flame.
“Since you, Benefactor Taiping, are not a Buddhist disciple, when Cast this seal, you must completely chant this scripture to obtain the mana required for Cast the seal.”
At this time, Master Kasyapa reminded Xu Taiping again.
Xu Taiping nodded slightly and continued to chant the scriptures.
And as most of the scripture was chanted by Xu Taiping, a faint golden light began to appear around his body.
This golden light was precisely the mana manifested by the Buddhist Dharma.
“Boom！ ……”
When Xu Taiping finished chanting the entire abstruse scripture, the golden light around his body soared into the sky and a ring of light transformed by the Buddhist Dharma appeared behind the head of his Du’e Asura physique.
Benefactor Taiping is truly a person with my Buddha. Not only can he immediately master the Tunhai Seal but also chant the Lanka sutra for the first time and summon such a huge amount of mana. If only he were a Buddhist “disciple?”
Master Kasyapa, who was hidden in the dark and saw this scene, couldn’t help but silently sigh in his heart.
At the same time, Xu Taiping’s figure also came to the top of the small mountain with the sound of breaking through the air.
Without any hesitation, Xu Taiping shouted loudly：
“Receive！”
Immediately, he slapped the palm that had received the ancient Buddha Kasyapa’s Seal of Swallowing the Sea towards the small mountain.
The moment the palm was slapped out, all the mana around his body was integrated into the circular Buddha light in his mind and then it slipped from his head to his wrist.
Finally, the circular Fo Guang suddenly enlarged, carrying a golden palm shadow of the Seal of Swallowing the Sea and “boom” it covered the small mountain.
“Bang！”
Amid the huge shock, the palm shadow of the Seal of Swallowing the Sea suppressed the thunder and flames rising into the sky above the small mountain, and the circular Buddha light transformed into a big mouth that swallowed the raging flames below the palm shadow.
In an instant, the world that was originally illuminated by the thunder and flame suddenly darkened.
At the same time, the blood-red pupils above the head closed one by one, as if falling back into a deep sleep, and the wailing sound like crying and laughing gradually disappeared.
The entire world was deathly silent.
“Hoo…”
Xu Taiping, who was almost exhausted, let out a long breath and muttered weakly：
“Finally… caught up…”
