That clan produced Supreme figure in ancient times, and they were on good terms with the Taiyin Clan, advancing and retreating together, their fame spreading throughout the realms.
However, the God War broke out later, involving the struggle for the Source Cauldron of All Things. In that great battle of Emperor Weapon, the Ancestral Artifact of the Lunar Jade Rabbit Clan was destroyed, and the clan was also wiped out. Its direct bloodline was slaughtered, and it withdrew from the stage of history.
Su Yu stroked the ancient engravings, sighed softly, and put the Human Emperor Seal and the fragments back in their places. At the same time, he nourished them with Immortal Qi, temporarily restoring the imperial artifact to its original state.
He then forced out a drop of his own lifeblood to sacrifice to the imperial artifact, hoping to find the Taiyin Root.
In this state, Su Yu's thoughts wandered, and he developed a special sensitivity to all Taiyin divine objects centered around this place.
After sitting in meditation for half a day, he stood up, tore through the Void, and fled into the Chaos space.
The Sun-Moon trembled, the Milky Way lost its color, Su Yu moved in and out of the void, crossing it one after another, and finally pierced through the boundary membrane, descending into a Chaos Immortal Land.
This is a vast nebula, shrouded in Chaos, with snow and ice flying everywhere, very different from the outside world.
The stars twinkled, their cool light illuminating the surroundings. Surprisingly, none of these celestial bodies were stars; black dwarfs and planets rose and fell, all radiating a chilling aura.
Transparent, dark blue, crystal green, jet black... different colored Ice and Snow Star slowly rotated, while in the distance, whirlwinds howled, swirling around hexagonal ice shards, terrifying beyond compare, their aura enough to threaten even the Great Saint's existence.
On the largest ancient star, a great river flows ceaselessly; it is actually the Taiyin River, as black as ink, chilling to the bone, like a river of the River of the Underworld flowing out from Hell.
Scattered across this continent, Su Yu only glanced around before discovering rare minerals such as Taiyin Divine Marrow, Moon Palace Stone, Nine Yin Cold Wood, and Icebound Realm Stone. Some of these could even be used to refine Quasi-Emperor weapons, making them Wuliang.
"Looks like this is the place..."
Su Yu's eyes flickered, and he was also a little excited. What he lacked was this kind of ultimate Taiyin. Cultivating Yin and Yang simultaneously would allow him to step into the Quasi-Emperor Realm in the shortest amount of time.
The next moment, Su Yu chanted an incantation, and the light of his primordial spirit covered this vast area, carefully sensing the pulse of heaven and earth, searching for the place where the true essence of Taiyin was most concentrated.
A few breaths later, he flashed and appeared in a snowy region.
This is a world of black ice, with towering Yin Seas, surging waves that shatter clouds, and boundless expanse. The Taiyin River of the outside world all originate here.
In the center of the Ming Sea, a Zhen Ice palace hangs high in the Nine Heavens, covered with dark jade grass, where divine flowers resembling the Lunar Jade Rabbit bloom, filling the air with medicinal fragrance, where black vines grow, and ancient divine trees Shrouding the Heavens, lush and verdant, surrounded by rosy light.
What is most astonishing and captivating is that there is an ancient tree in the Ice Palace, its color ice-blue, as if cast from ice and snow, with inky black veins on it, and its ice-blue leaves are lush, crystal clear, and flowing with the Taiyin Holy Power!
"Finally, I got to see him!"
Su Yu laughed heartily, feeling extremely pleased.
He took a step forward and ascended to the Moon Palace, preparing to pay homage to the Undying Moon Laurel Tree.
Suddenly, Su Yu's heart stirred, and he stopped outside the Moon Palace, where a stone tablet stirred his emotions.
He stepped forward, and the sense of vicissitude that greeted him stirred his heart. It was a distance of millions of years, even more distant than the Primordial Era, perhaps traceable back to the Mythological Era.
Su Yu's gaze fell upon the stone tablet, and he began to decipher it. Engraved upon it were ancient, mysterious patterns, completely different from any existing writing system...
Su Yu quickly browsed through most of the ancient stele, which recorded some of the deeds of the Jade Rabbit Clan's ancestor. The Jade Rabbit Supreme eventually embarked on the Road to Immortality, and his whereabouts became unknown.
However, none of these are the key points.
" Cao Yusheng, the Tribulation Crossing Heavenly Venerable..."
A ripple of emotion stirred within Su Yu; the signature was surprisingly that of someone else.
"Did he encounter Similar Flowers too? Old Duan was young once too!"
He whispered, recalling Duan De's ruddy, chubby face, and felt a strange unease in his heart.
The causal relationship between the other party and the Lunar Jade Rabbit is very clear. It's mainly because Shi Hao is too dazzling, completely overshadowing Cao Yusheng's brilliance. Otherwise, the Little Fatty and the Little Rabbit would most likely have become Daoist partners.
Unexpectedly, these two have a connection in the era of Shrouding the Heavens, and they've even started using alternate accounts, both learning from the Immortal King Wuzhong.
"You might as well not have erected this monument at all!"
Su Yu shook his head, feeling that it was very unlucky for the Netherworld Venerable to erect a monument for someone, just like the King of Hell offering New Year's greetings to someone.
The Jade Rabbit Clan was wiped out, and the Underworld played a part in this.

He should have been Quasi-Emperor, but he filled in a few plot holes from the previous chapters!
He was just Saint in Chapter 500, and now he's about to Quasi-Emperor. The pacing is pretty good.
The pacing of the first four hundred chapters was definitely off!
However, the author thought about it repeatedly but couldn't find a way to change it; this was the only way to write a harem novel.
Zixia, Yao Xi, Yan Ruyu, Qin Yao, An Miaoyi, Jade Lake Saintess, Princess Yue Ling, Yi Qingwu, Xia Yilin, Princess Yueshi...
These female leads and supporting characters each take up a portion of the chapters, which causes the earlier parts of the story to drag.
As for why the author created an original female character...
To explain, there are two reasons: firstly, it's due to my own preferences, and secondly, there are too few strong female characters in the original work.
Su Yu is definitely two major realms higher than Ye Fan. In the original work, apart from the Heavenly Empress, there is no female Quasi-Emperor. The Great Peacock Wisdom King and Youruo are minor supporting characters with very little description.
This is the fault of the Red-Haired Ancestor. If he had written more female Quasi-Emperor and female Great Saint, the author wouldn't have needed to create original female characters at all.
The goddesses in the original novel were all Ye Fan's contemporaries, which is really difficult to work with; they're too weak and can't keep up with the protagonist's pace.
Therefore, the author had to create something of his own, introducing several female Quasi-Emperor.
To reiterate, "Shrouding the Heavens" is indeed not suitable for a harem!
Chapter 603 The Puppet Emperor of the Nether Dao, Cultivating Yin and Yang Together
Passing the inscription, Su Yu stepped into the Ice Palace. In an instant, five colors appeared, and a dreamlike ice-blue mist spread, carrying an eternally cold aura that could freeze even Saint.
Amidst the icy mist, a silver bridge emerged, shaped like a stone arch bridge, but made of silver. The bridge was adorned with patterns and adorned with glistening ribbons, resembling Silver Moon, radiating pure light and stretching endlessly into the distance.
" Moon Venerable Heavenly Palace, halt to all arrivals!"
Above the bridgehead is a row of inscriptions in the underworld, like the roar of True Dragon or the graceful dance of a colorful phoenix, swirling with a mythical and Daoist charm as vast as the sea, ancient, powerful, and awe-inspiring.
In addition, six skeletons lay scattered before them, their remains uncorrupted by the passage of time, gleaming with a silvery-gold luster.
Five of them Great Saint, their flesh and blood gone, only their jade bones remaining. The body of the woman in front of them was incorruptible and still exists today; she was actually a Quasi-Emperor.
The woman, dressed in ancient attire, stood amidst dark clouds, her clothes stained with blood, having perished there, and thus never saw the Moon Laurel Tree.
"The ancient sages of the Taiyin Clan from 300,000 years ago..."
Su Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and couldn't help but sigh. To become Quasi-Emperor and step into this place, this woman's luck was extraordinary. It's a pity that in the end, she still couldn't avoid dying.
He stood still for a moment before he could see the true form of the silver bridge.
This aura clearly belonged to a silver dragon above the Sixth Heaven of the Quasi-Emperor Realm, which had been killed and used as a bridge. Such a feat was immense and enough to chill one's spine.
No wonder even Quasi-Emperor lay dead here!
Su Yu activated the "Number" secret technique, summoning a wisp of divine thought and transforming it into a talisman, which he then directed closer to the Silver Bridge.
The moment the avatar stepped onto the bridge, a burst of dark light swept across the sky, and countless streaks danced and swirled, outlining a six-winged silver dragon. Exquisite and dazzling, it exuded Quasi-Emperor aura as vast as the ocean, circling and roaring in front of it, intimidating all living beings.
"Puff!"
The dragon claw tore open the sky, creating a spatial rift ten thousand feet long. The talisman paper figure, comparable to a half- Quasi-Emperor, instantly collapsed and was obliterated by the silver dragon.
"The tomb-guarding dragon puppet... Fatty Duan, are you afraid someone will rob your white moonlight's grave?!"
Su Yu was speechless. A beam of the Immortal of the Foreign Realm dark light shot out from his forehead, Divine Radiance rolled in, and a black and gold treasure wheel emerged with a clang, bursting out with Xian Dao light.
He ascended the Silver Jade Sky Bridge, carrying the Heaven-reaching Nether Treasure, and faced the near-seventh silver dragon.
"Roar!"
The six-winged silver dragon's body shone brilliantly, emitting a deafening roar that shook the heavens and earth, rippling out endless waves, its terror boundless.
This is an ancient, extraordinary species, supremely divine and holy, with bloodline power comparable to the Sacred Body and the Tyrant Body. Its physical strength is extremely powerful, enough to kill Sixth Heaven of the Quasi-Emperor Realm!
"Bite!"
In an instant, the Heaven-reaching Nether Treasure shone brightly, and as the rolling black tide spread, countless immortal rays appeared, and the aura of the Great Dao permeated the air, as if a Yin Lord of the Underworld was reviving, containing the aura of birth and death!
The pure aura of the Netherworld Venerable quickly suppressed the tomb guardian's resurgence. The exquisite silver dragon let out a long roar, swept down from the Sun-Moon, and then dissipated, transforming back into a bridge.
"Do you remember this place?" Su Yu asked the spirit of the underworld artifacts.
The latter remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking, "This is the tomb of an old friend of the Underworld Emperor. I never expected the Moon Laurel Tree to return here! You can take everything from here, but you must not desecrate the grave, otherwise, something unforeseen may happen."
"How could I possibly be that kind of person?" Su Yu said seriously.
According to the memorial stone tablet in front of the Ice Palace, the Jade Cao Yusheng Jade Rabbit Supreme chose the Immortal Road, and this place was either a cenotaph or a mutilated corpse, which would be of no benefit to him.
Besides, I quite like that Little Rabbit in the movie "Perfect World," so how could I possibly rob her grave?
Upon hearing Su Yu's words, the spirit of the Nether Treasure remained silent, recalling the scene of this man devouring nine Quasi-Emperor ancient corpses, and couldn't help but shake his head inwardly.
"In short, this place is not to be trifled with. If you need the remains of Quasi-Emperor, you can find another way. With my cooperation, you can pass through the Underworld without any hindrance!"
"Thank you. When I attain enlightenment in the future, I will surely repay the debt of protecting the Way!"
Su Yu's eyes flickered, and he said with an inscrutable expression, "You really don't want to break free from the artifact? Both the Source Cauldron of All Things and the Kunlun Array Spirit have chosen this path!"
"It's not that I don't want to, but I have been instructed by the Netherworld Venerable; it is my duty, and I cannot betray it!"
"Is it to guard against the Emperor Zun? That one has made many arrangements throughout the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths."
You knew that too?
Heaven-reaching Nether Treasure was somewhat surprised, but then understood; the person before him was indeed very special.
"That one faked his death back then, with grand ambitions; he might have already attained immortality nine times over by now..."
" The Emperor Zun is indeed extraordinary; throughout countless millennia, only a handful of people have been able to rival him..."
During their conversation, the silver bridge traversed thousands of miles, leading them to a crystal-clear moon palace. The palace was paved with icy bricks, and wisps of cold air emanated from it, perfectly matching the legend of the Moon Palace in the mortal realm.
" The Guanghan Palace... could it be that Wu Gang lives there?"
Su Yu muttered to himself and walked straight in.
This Zhen Ice Dojo appears to be only ten thousand miles in circumference, but it is actually larger than a star field, with a star system at every step and an infinite distance.
Every piece of Ice Soul Jade Brick here is made by mixing Taiyin Essence with extraterrestrial stars. If an outsider takes a wrong step, he may be deflected to a distance of millions of light-years, or even fall into a dangerous place and become a wisp of ashes in the extreme cold.
However, these were all easily defeated by Su Yu!
With one step, he seemed to be creating the world. The Chaos light was contained and swirling, the ground rumbled, and the laws of space changed. Su Yu forcibly Shrinking the Earth into Inches, leading to the boundless.
As countless stars streaked by, Su Yu stood amidst the icy mist, impervious to all magic, and smoothly walked out of this starry arena, truly entering the Guanghan Palace.
