With a thought, Wang Yi appeared in the sky. Before him stood a gigantic stone gate, carved with all kinds of divine beasts, exotic flowers, and rare plants.
Above the gate were several large characters in seal script: South Heaven Gate.
Wang Yi flew through South Heaven Gate—not walked. That's right, he flew.
Clouds and mist swirled around him, and a delicate fragrance wafted through the air.
At last, after flying for about a minute, Wang Yi saw a vast palace complex ahead.
The palaces were magnificent, their golden splendor half-veiled in clouds and mist.
At the very center of the complex stood a grand hall.
Four large golden characters in seal script were inscribed above it: Lingxiao Treasure Hall.
Wang Yi continued flying slowly forward and entered Lingxiao Treasure Hall.
There, inside the hall, stood the Barefoot Immortal, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, the Giant Spirit God, the Five Dou Star Lords, the Three Stars of Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity, and a host of other immortals.
Only the main seat was empty. The Jade Emperor was nowhere to be seen.
Wang Yi saw this and chuckled to himself.
What kind of crazy game designer came up with this? Was I supposed to become the Jade Emperor?
This design was a little too chuuni.
But then he thought about it. This Jade Emperor wasn't the real Jade Emperor who ruled the Heavenly Court; he was the Jade Emperor who ruled the basketball world.
The West had its God of Basketball, so the East had its Basketball Jade Emperor.
That was the only way to match the West.
With that, Wang Yi flew toward the Jade Emperor's throne.
As he descended onto the seat, his entire outfit began to change.
His jersey gradually transformed into the Jade Emperor's Nine Dragon Dark Robe.
