Gu Cang Yun

The Union Master of Sword Union, and likewise the father of Gu Jian Xin, Gu Cang Yun is one of six 3rd Order Origin Kings to ally himself with and accompany Yang Kai on his trip to Star Boundary.

## Background

Gu Cang Yun, as a 3rd Order Origin King, was one of the top powerhouses of the Heng Luo Star Field. Though initially struggling against an opposing faction in Sword Union, Gu Cang Yun eventually takes a firmer grip of the influence with the aid of Yang Kai.

## History

### Starlight Corridor

Yang Kai would ally himself with Gu Cang Yun, who already appreciated his life-saving grace to Gu Jian Xin, by creating a Super Space Array Network for Sword Union's Stars. This helps both Sword Union and the Heng Luo Chamber of Commerce to far surpass their shared rival in Purple Star, who at that point held a great enmity with Yang Kai. Gu Cang Yun and Sword Union would also provide Yang Kai with the last of the 9 Star Emperor Tokens required in order to access Star Boundary. Thus, Gu Cang Yun would join Ai Ou, Chi Yue, Gui Zu, and Wu Dao in both helping Yang Kai to access the Starlight Corridor to Star Boundary and in traveling there along with the group.

However, in the Starlight Corridor, Gu Cang Yun and the other Origin King Realm masters would eventually be separated from Yang Kai after the latter is forced to collapse the channel due to the actions of Yin Le Sheng. Ending up in Star Boundary with Ai Ou, Chi Yue, Gui Zu, and Wu Dao, Gu Cang Yun and the others would eventually befriend and take up residence with Chai Hu, a native of Star Boundary. Chai Hu would help the destitute foreigners to make somewhat of a living in Star Boundary by hunting Monster Beasts. Unfortunately, Wu Dao would end up passing away during this time as he tried to promote to the Dao Source Realm.

### Thousand Leaves Sect

Eventually, things would take a dark turn for Gu Cang Yun and company when they are captured and imprisoned by the City Master of Sky Crane City, Luo Jin, who had his eyes set on marrying Chi Yue. Before Luo Jin's plan could succeed, Yang Kai miraculously shows up at the wedding to rescue his friends and in-laws. After succeeding, Yang Kai brings the 5 friends back to Thousand Leaves Sect, where they become comfortably situated. Here, Yang Kai would have to defend them from the vengeful Luo Jin and a coalition of forces opposing Thousand Leaves Sect. After obliterating these forces alongside Liu Yan, Yang Kai departs after entrusting the 5 friends to Thousand Leaves Sect.

### High Heaven Palace

Later, Yang Kai would find that Gu Cang Yun, Chi Yue, Ai Ou, and Gui Zu were taken hostage by Tan Jun Hao of Star Soul Palace, who would be putting them up for auction. Yang Kai attends the auction, kills Tan Jun Hao, and again rescues the 5 friends. This time, Yang Kai brings them to High Heaven Palace, where they would serve as some of the first members of the Sect. During this time, Yang Kai grants them several beneficial resources to aid in their cultivation, including some complete Star Sources that he acquired from Shattered Star Sea in the case of Chi Yue, Gui Zu, and Gu Cang Yun. Later, when Yang Kai returns to High Heaven Palace from a return to the Heng Luo Star Field, Gu Cang Yun is reunited with his son, Gu Jian Xin.

### 5 Emperors

When Yang Kai returns to High Heaven Palace from Demon Territory during the Demon War, he finds that Ai Ou, Chi Yue, Gui Zu, Chai Hu, and Gu Cang Yun have used a special, shared Secret Art in order to promote to the 1st Order Emperor Realm.
