He wore a monk's robe, trod in hemp shoes, and was draped in a kasaya, supported by a few monks as he walked to the very front of the deck.
"Ah... It really is Master Abis!"
Master Abis had a tremendous influence in the Asan Nation, with countless devotees; his appearance caused a dramatic commotion on the Indian Ocean Premier, as many people immediately prostrated themselves on the ground, chanting scriptures, encased by the crowd, Master Abis truly became a living Bodhisattva.
Master Abis, the "State Preceptor" of the Divine Nation, was revered as the State Preceptor of the Asan Nation, indicating his lofty status. He also was a sage of Ancient Yoga; legend had it that his cultivation base had long since reached the so-called realm of Spirit Communication, unfathomable in depth.
