## Background

## History

### Saving Gu Bi Hu

Ai Ou first meets Yang Kai when Xue Yue brings the latter before him as he dealt with the crisis facing his wife, Gu Bi Hu. Though initially disdainful of Yang Kai, Ai Ou is shocked to find the youth is actually a 2nd Order Origin King Realm master like himself. Eventually, Ai Ou is even more enamored with Yang Kai when the latter defeats the arrogant and famous Alchemist Grandmaster, Zuo De, in addition to refining the pill to save his wife.

Later, Ai Ou realizes things are too good to be true once he learns that Yang Kai knows Xue Yue's secret, and completely changes his attitude toward him. However, after Yang Kai proves to indeed be even younger than Xue Yue, and helps him to fix and build many Space Arrays for the Heng Luo Chamber of Commerce, Ai Ou eventually accepts him as a son-in-law. Ai Ou would, at some point, also receive the Star Refining Art Secret Technique from Yang Kai, allowing him to both promote to the 3rd Order Origin King Realm and successfully become the Star Master of Water Moon Star.

### Chai Hu

Ai Ou is one of the 6 3rd Order Origin King Realm masters chosen by Yang Kai to assist him in reaching Star Boundary. As a Star Master, Ai Ou shares the benefits in converting his Saint Qi into Source Qi with Yang Kai within the Starlight Corridor. However, Ai Ou and the other Origin King Realm masters of the Heng Luo Star Field are separated from Yang Kai when the latter is forced to collapse the Starlight Corridor on the way to Star Boundary due to the interference of Yin Le Sheng.

Ending up in Star Boundary with Gui Zu, Chi Yue, Gu Cang Yun, and Wu Dao, Ai Ou 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 Ai Ou 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 Ai Ou, Chi Yue, Gui Zu, and Gu Cang Yun 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 suitable Secret Arts and Secret Techniques for Ai Ou.

### 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.

### Void Land

After Yang Kai, as the Void Great Emperor, returns to Star Boundary to plant the World Tree Subtree, Ai Ou, Chi Yue, Gui Zu, Chai Hu, and Gu Cang Yun would be among those to travel with him in order to join Void Land.
