Who would have thought that this was actually a stretch of Void controlled by the Buddhist School.
The Buddhist School's doctrines differed from those of the Mystic Gate. This was not only reflected in the strictness of its laws—easy to enter, hard to leave—but even more so in its fervor for "spreading the Dharma."
The Mystic Gate's road to True Immortality stemmed from one's own pursuit of Longevity Realm and transcendence. Yet within Buddhist teachings lay a fundamental pursuit of spreading their doctrines.
That was the difference between the two: "transcending life and death" versus "saving all living beings."
Because of this difference, the Buddhist School's expansion into the depths of the boundless Void carried a stronger trace of human design.
It had also given rise to the term "Three Thousand Great Thousand Worlds."
The world Su Che had previously lived in was considered a Lesser Thousandfold World by the Buddhist School. A thousand such Lesser Thousandfold Worlds gathered together formed a Middle Thousandfold World. A thousand Middle Thousandfold Worlds gathered together were called a Great Thousand World.
The territories wholly controlled by the Buddhist School were known as "Buddha Domains." There were as many as three thousand Great Thousand Worlds—amounting to a million worlds.
The three thousand was merely an approximate figure. The actual number could only be greater.
Beyond that, there were races such as the Eightfold Ghost Gods, wandering between worlds and Void, forming ecosystems unique to themselves.
This truly made Su Che feel that his chances of returning to his original world were growing ever greater.
Though the Buddhist School's system did not, like the Heavenly Demons, revere a single Primordial Devil Master, and the Dharma-Ending Lord's subordinates each had their own clans, they were deeply interconnected, unlike the Mystic Gate's drifting clouds and wild cranes.
