Background / History

After obtaining his system, Ouyang encountered the orphaned Leng Qingsong and adopted him upon recognizing his extraordinary attributes. Ouyang initially viewed befriending the “child of the plane” as a means of survival, but raised him as his own little brother. At five years old, he wandered with three-year-old Leng Qingsong, surviving in part on stolen sweet potatoes 5.

Hu Yun discovered the two boys and sought to recruit Leng Qingsong. Ouyang insisted on cultivating as well, rejecting Hu Yun’s suggestion that he become a wealthy man instead. Leng Qingsong refused to leave without him, so Hu Yun accepted both as disciples and brought them to the Azure Cloud Sect. Leng Qingsong later rejected the sect master’s offer for the same reason 5.

Little Mountain Peak was initially barren. With Hu Yun frequently away, Dongxu Zi arranged its development and became someone Ouyang regarded as “half a master.” Chen Changsheng subsequently arrived on his own, while Ouyang helped coax Bai Feiyu into joining during a trip to a human city with Hu Yun 24 33.

In Chen Changsheng’s previous life, Ouyang protected him throughout the Apocalypse and was ultimately killed by Zu Yuan, who had become the Devil Race Sacred Emperor and an Immortal. Even while dying, Ouyang urged Chen Changsheng to escape. These memories underpin Chen Changsheng’s determination to protect the peak’s inhabitants in his second life 18 48.

Previous Life and Mortal Hometown

In his previous world, Ouyang grew up in an orphanage, left formal education early, and obtained his junior college education through adult education. He worked on construction sites by day and delivered food at night, using his earnings to improve life for the younger children. His later fragmented recollections indicate that he died in a fire; the destroyed orphanage remains central to his regrets 225 531 563 732.

After transmigration, Ouyang feared his exclusion from the unfamiliar world and suppressed his previous-life memories rather than confronting them. His system, Leng Qingsong’s companionship, and Hu Yun’s care gave him a place to belong without entirely resolving that alienation 229.

He regards Maple Leaf City as his hometown in his new world. As children, he and Leng Qingsong survived through petty theft and help from a mortal girl who secretly brought them food. Hu Yun initially accompanied their visits back; they later began making the journey themselves at the first snowfall. Hu Tutu joins one such journey 54 55.

Elder Ancient Era and Altered History

Through the system’s side quest associated with being the Sword Immortal’s friend, Ouyang travels into the Elder Ancient Era and shares Ou Yezi’s body. He becomes involved with Li Taibai and the Sword-Forging Clan, including forcibly modifying the Immortal-Slaying Sword. He later states that changing their fates cost one-third of his lifespan 134 142 270.

The altered history is not fully known even to Hu Yun. Ouyang recognizes that Leng Qingsong embodies Li Taibai’s Immaculate Sword Heart, whereas Bai Feiyu is Li Taibai’s true reincarnation, despite Hu Yun’s apparent belief that Leng Qingsong is the reincarnation 170.

Hu Yun’s Sacrifice and Acting Peak Mastership

Ouyang initially cannot take a lasting given name: anyone who hears one forgets it, including Hu Yun. He interprets this as the world’s refusal to recognize his existence. Later Heart Inquiry leads him to identify his own refusal to accept himself and his present life as a deeper part of the problem 164 227.

Before departing, Hu Yun grants Ouyang Dao Contemplation, allowing him to sense the Dao for the first time. Hu Yun abandons his flesh and merges into Ouyang’s system to interfere with its influence, while arranging further trials to help Ouyang accept the world and survive within it 170 274.

The other peaks subsequently recognize Ouyang as Little Mountain Peak’s Acting Peak Master and agree to cancel its outstanding debts. These include both Hu Yun’s old IOUs and Ouyang’s more recent borrowing. Although Dongxu Zi and Ouyang privately grieve, they resolve to continue Hu Yun’s work 177.

Life-Bound Dream and the Nine Hells

Mu Yunhai’s Life-Bound Dream returns Ouyang to a convincing recreation of his former world. He visits the intact orphanage, shares a birthday cake with a little girl whose name he cannot remember, and encounters a version of his former self. He ultimately affirms that his home is now Little Mountain Peak and recognizes Hu Yun’s Heart Inquiry as an attempt to free him from his unresolved heart demon 225 226 227 229.

After accepting another system side quest, his consciousness enters the Nine Hells, where he meets the dead Hui Zhi. His initial lack of a Yellow Springs Road distinguishes him from ordinary dead souls. As the journey unfolds, he regains his powers and discovers that Hu Yun’s final arrangement would require erasing Hu Yun’s name and replacing it with his own 248 250 253 254 274.

Ouyang rejects the apparent necessity of killing his master through that exchange. A seed concealed within the Hemp Rope, together with the Heart Cloud, suggests another possibility. He also glimpses his grandmaster’s larger arrangement and an azure chess piece representing himself, although the vision ends before he can comprehend the entire game 274.

Sacrifice, Erasure, and Return

Ouyang’s later efforts center on protecting his juniors while resisting the world’s predetermined cycles of calamity and reincarnation. Chen Changsheng explains that Ouyang is the one seeking to make the world endure forever. Ouyang eventually confronts his system’s voice directly and reunites with Hu Yun, who is revealed to be both his present master and his disciple from a previous life 647 649 650.

His arrangements allow Little Monkey, identified with Little Bie San in the subsequent explanation, to fulfill the Human Progenitor’s role in his place. This also legitimizes Chen Changsheng’s presence in the timeline and gives him the identity of the world’s savior. The resulting paradox turns Ouyang into an anomaly: he erases himself from history and leaves the world as an Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, leaving no one able to remember that he existed 655 656.

After an immense period of confinement, Ouyang approaches mental collapse while maintaining a final determination to endure. Tutu’s searching voice and a strand of her hair reach him, restoring his fading body. Death tells him that his plan succeeded and that the River of Time can now endure forever; outside the cage, he sees countless Rivers of Time branching into the Myriad Worlds 720 721.

A million years have passed for his former companions. Ouyang sees that his three junior brothers have become Sages but have also turned against one another. He accepts that their choices are their own rather than assuming he must continue supporting them indefinitely 723.

Accompanied by Oye, he travels through the Underworld toward reincarnation. Their newly forming Yellow Springs Road marks their reintegration into the world, but the journey strips away their memories. Zhao Qiansun’s crystal-ball dream helps Ouyang recover his name, though Daji subsequently confirms that he still lacks his memories of this life. She had asked her three senior brothers to bring about that loss of memory 729 731 732 733 734 736.

Appearance

• Youthful appearance: His Qi Refining cultivation freezes his appearance at eighteen; his actual current age is not specified 3.
• Daoist robes: Introduced in a dark blue Daoist robe and later shown wearing a blue-green robe 1 14.
• General impression: Hu Tutu initially considers him presentable, though lacking manners. Later, their outings resemble those of a father and daughter despite his youthful looks 1 21.
• Hair and hairpin: During his return from the dream of his previous world, his hair lengthens and is loosely secured with a Wooden Hairpin 227.
• Changed demeanor: When deprived of joy in the Nine Hells, his expression becomes cold and detached, recalling the ruthless composure of his childhood “Tyrant” persona 253 254.
• Periods of deterioration: Information overload later leaves him confused and dependent on care; during a particularly severe episode, his hair becomes disheveled and his face is covered in tears and drool 563 583 595.

Personality

Ouyang loudly asserts his seniority, declaring that his rules govern Little Mountain Peak and calling his junior brothers rebellious or unfilial brats. Their exceptional talent frequently provokes envy, especially when compared with his own poor aptitude. He nevertheless understands their individual problems, including Leng Qingsong’s social anxiety and Chen Changsheng’s excessive caution 1 4 5 33.

His teasing manner conceals considerable attentiveness. He comforts Hu Tutu when she feels useless, monitors his juniors’ health, and takes responsibility for the consequences of their actions. After Chen Changsheng’s attack on Zu Yuan, he both nurses him and shields him from disciplinary scrutiny 8 17 18 19.

He enjoys gossip, spectacle, sleeping in, and showing off. His knowledge of fiction from his previous life leads him to recognize “protagonist” patterns and predict familiar declarations. He also styles himself a master of romance, although he is bewildered by the rivalry between Su Ling’er and Hu Tutu 8 21 29 45.

Despite his irreverence toward authority, Ouyang is not reckless about every threat. He recognizes that exposing Zu Yuan without evidence would be unconvincing and that immense true qi alone does not make him invulnerable to experienced high-realm cultivators 18 19.

His apparent ease hides unusually stubborn attachments and survivor’s regret. He initially watches the new world partly as an outsider because confronting the memories of his previous life is too painful. Hu Yun considers this unresolved heart demon serious enough that Ouyang could potentially become a Peerless Great Villain 227 229.

Ouyang’s protectiveness does not mean he wants his juniors to surrender their identities to him. He tells Leng Qingsong to be himself and pursue his own dreams rather than exist only as his brother’s sword. Much later, he likewise accepts that his juniors’ choices as Sages are their own responsibility 526 527 723.

His compassion coexists with a capacity for extreme calm and brutality. As the childhood leader known as the “Tyrant,” he learned that survival at the bottom required more than friendliness. The removal of his joy exposes that older disposition without making him lose his will 254.

He dislikes begging or making himself dependent on charity, an attitude rooted in his former life supporting the orphanage. Even while suffering memory failures, he resists help when lucid, although those close to him care for him during his confused periods 563.

Abilities & Skills

Strongest AFK System

Ouyang’s transmigrator benefit accumulates cultivation rewards while he lies still 3.

• Passive true qi gain: Rewards arrive at irregular intervals, ranging from several payouts in a day to none for ten days or half a month. A later gap lasts more than a month 33 89.
• Karmic-bond quest: Rewards bonds with qualifying Children of Destiny. Leng Qingsong, Chen Changsheng, Bai Feiyu, and Xiao Feng account for the documented 4/5 progress 33.
• Strict qualification: Hu Tutu’s Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox bloodline does not advance this quest 33.
• Initial advancement limit: The system originally increases his reserves without allowing him to pass the ninth level of Qi Refining. Ouyang suspects the system is connected to his cultivation blockage, but this initial suspicion is not confirmed at that time 3.
• Initial Mission reward: Later replenishes his true qi to one billion points, converts it into true essence, and unlocks All Beings Are Equal. His new panel records one hundred million true essence points 193.
• Second-stage choices: Offers either finding another 100 Children of Heaven’s Chosen or cooperating with karmically connected chosen figures to kill five Peerless Great Villains. The latter already displays 1/5 progress when offered 193.
• Villain mission progress: Announces 3/5 after the Mortal World confrontation and later confirms completion of the five-villain mission, automatically issuing its rewards 434 649.
• Hu Yun’s intervention: Hu Yun merges into the system to interfere with its influence on Ouyang. Ouyang eventually refuses to keep treating the voice merely as an automated notification and demands a direct meeting 274 649 650.
• Depletion warning: A later notification states that the system will unbind if his true essence is exhausted 649.

Status-Panel Perception

Ouyang can view panels revealing names, cultivation, attributes, aptitudes, exclusive skills, and concealed identities 1 2 3.

• Identifies Hu Tutu’s fox bloodline, Bai Feiyu’s reincarnation, Chen Changsheng’s rebirth, and Leng Qingsong’s status as a child of the plane 1 2 4 5.
• Recognizes Hu Yan as a Tribulation Transcendence expert and Zu Yuan as the Devil Race’s holy son despite their disguises 12 14.
• Notices that Hui Zhi’s designation as Holy Son of Buddhism is marked “false” 41.
• Observes Xiao Feng’s panel change after the divine-beast transformation—the first panel change he says he has witnessed 40.
• Limit: Chen Changsheng’s puppets can fool the system; Ouyang sometimes relies on behavior rather than the panel to recognize a duplicate 4.
• Reduced confidence: Later treats panels as sources of specific clues rather than completely trustworthy judgments, noting that they can produce garbled text. Ling Feng’s changing panel also leaves him uncertain about the cause of the changes 74 105.
• Target restriction: The perception identifies living beings that practice cultivation, not magical treasures. Liang Zai produces no panel, helping Ouyang establish that the dachshund is not a demon cultivator 110.
• Later identifications: Reveals Hui Zhi’s status as the Heavenly Dao’s discarded pawn and Jiang Xiaotong’s identity as the reincarnated Sword Tassel 319 344.

Immense True Qi

His reserves far exceed what his nominal realm suggests, allowing direct attacks and large-scale manipulation without conventional higher-realm cultivation 3 11.

• Qi Burst: Releases raw true qi directly when he cannot recall a spell 11.
• Giant true qi hand: Blocks a rain of Sword Qi from Chen Changsheng’s hundreds of Nascent Soul-level clones 16.
• Suppression: Pins Hu Yan to the ground and throws Bai Feiyu and Leng Qingsong from the mountaintop while interrupting their sword intents 12 27.
• Heavenly-punishment intervention: Seizes the Eye of Heavenly Punishment with a giant hand of heaven-and-earth essence, disperses the Heavenly Dao’s forming cloud-face, and presses the eye into Xiao Feng’s brow to halt the thunder 39.
• Protective barrier: Shields himself and the sleeping Hu Tutu from a waterfall using true qi 59.
• Early combat assessment: Considers himself capable of sweeping through cultivators below Soul Departure, but recognizes that destroying the bodies of higher-realm opponents does not solve the problem of their escaping divine souls 81.
• Speed limitation: Although he possesses enough true qi to contend with Tribulation Transcendence experts, his basic spells and direct bursts are too slow against genuine top-level opponents 108.
• Limit: Hu Yan claims he could still kill Ouyang despite finding his reserves terrifying. Ouyang accepts that veteran high-realm cultivators possess methods beyond sheer power 19.

After Foundation Establishment, his true essence supports denser and more versatile manifestations than his former true qi. He explains that his earlier giant hands were comparatively insubstantial, whereas true essence can become almost solid 198.

• Immortal-art resemblance: Xian Yi identifies his enormous stick-figure manifestation as an immortal art. Ouyang can defeat Xian Yi even while the latter invokes immortal arts, although particular enclosing techniques still obstruct his attacks 245 264.
• High-level confrontation: Trades repeated true essence-laden punches with the power protecting the golden Vertical Pupil, producing a clash beyond Ling Feng and Chen Changsheng’s ability to enter 424.
• Space disruption: Strips away the Pure White Space through overwhelming force and later sweeps aside Xiaoyaozi’s shattering spatial attack 500 541.
• Tribulation defense: Spreads true essence like an umbrella with one raised hand and blocks all descending heavenly tribulation 513.
• Searching and rescue: Extends fine true essence threads to investigate his surroundings and forms arms to search the darkness and extract Zu Yuan from grasping black hands 555 602.
• Grand Ancestor connection: Demonstrates power he identifies as the same as the Grand Ancestor’s, using the revelation to unsettle Dongxu Zi and the Demon Venerable 428.
• Life-associated power: His true essence is described as containing vitality, and Death later identifies Ouyang as representing life in opposition to himself 541 642 723.

All Beings Are Equal

Ouyang’s exclusive skill equalizes cultivation realms within an area he encloses using his vast true essence. It allows him to bring stronger opponents down to his level and exploit his extensive experience fighting at low realms 193 198.

• Activation: Initially fails to activate it simply by shouting its name. He discovers the method while forming a true essence enclosure at Penglai Immortal Mountain 193 198.
• Bidirectional equalization: Core Formation and Nascent Soul cultivators fall to Foundation Establishment, while weaker Qi Refining disciples rise to Foundation Establishment 198.
• Demonstrated area: The Penglai field covers a radius of five kilometers 199.
• Reversible effect: Pu Cong’s Spirit Division strength returns after Ouyang leaves 316.
• Physical limits: Equalizing cultivation does not erase every bodily advantage. Chang Xiaoyue retains the terrifying physical strength and blood energy of a Body Integration demon cultivator despite her realm being suppressed 405.

Basic Spell Arts

Ouyang initially casts basic spells by consulting their true qi circulation routes, then using gestures and spoken commands. His enormous reserves amplify their effects 11 25.

• Poor retention: He forgets circulation routes after casting and must consult his book again; even freshly reviewed instructions quickly fade 11 25.
• Initial realm restrictions: At Qi Refining, he cannot understand higher-level spells, learn sword flight, or perform voice transmission 3 11 13.
• Later access: Liang Zai first enables him to use Foundation Establishment-level spells while still at Qi Refining. His own breakthrough subsequently gives him access to advanced spell arts 121 177 199.
• Dao-lecture difficulty: Cannot successfully listen to or deliver Dao instruction without falling asleep. This persists after his breakthrough, when Dongxu Zi’s lecture puts both of them to sleep 97 177.
• Initial equipment restrictions: He cannot wield ordinary magical treasures, and states that he cannot even use magic artifacts intended for Qi Refining cultivators. He can nevertheless swing such a sword as a physical object without activating its formations 25 109.

Sentience Awakening and Treasure Enhancement

His true qi can animate objects and draw out the potential of suitable treasure materials 22 25 26.

• Stone lions: True qi left inside two molded lions gradually awakens their intelligence. He can withdraw that qi, causing a lion’s body to stiffen 22.
• Messenger crane: His infusion makes a previously stiff paper messenger visibly livelier 13.
• Spirit Treasure upgrade: Feeds Hu Tutu’s reforged Paper Crane 1,000 true qi, raising it from a magic treasure to a sentient Spirit Treasure 25.
• Material limit: The upgrade succeeds because Dongxu Zi has already reforged the crane with excellent materials. Ouyang cannot turn arbitrary paper into a Spirit Treasure 26.
• Qi cost: Infused points remain spent unless he reclaims them 25.
• Lasting recognition: The smaller Stone Lion later transforms into a little lion and eagerly licks his shoes upon recognizing him 97.
• Spirit stabilization: His power solidifies Ou Yezi’s fading manifestation, prompting Ou Yezi to remark that even Immortals do not possess such power 144.

Dao Treasure Combat

Liang Zai, a dachshund-shaped Dao Treasure, gives Ouyang a weapon suited to both blunt physical combat and the projection of his enormous reserves 109 110.

• Durability: A magic-artifact longsword snaps when Ouyang strikes Liang Zai with it 109.
• Heaven-Soaring Dog Flash: Uses Liang Zai as a ranged weapon, firing concentrated true qi attacks that fracture space. Ouyang estimates an approximately hundredfold amplification 110.
• Secret-realm destruction: Recognizes that cannon fire through Liang Zai can break the space of Immortal Secret Realms and prefers blasting through their structure to obeying staged trials 123.
• Close combat: Wields the dog directly while Liang Zai bites approaching opponents 199.
• Capacity concern: His attempt to force more power into Liang Zai causes the treasure to protest that its body will break 110.

Medicine and Cultivation Design

Ouyang learns most of Hu Yun’s medical practice through repeated exposure, despite initially being reluctant to inherit it 8.

• Checks Chen Changsheng’s pulse, administers a pill, and explains the cause of his collapse and coughing blood 17 18.
• Rescues Xiao Feng after severe skeletal and meridian injuries, then gives him a pill that restores most of his shattered body 32.
• Detects Xiao Feng’s continued absorption of spiritual energy despite his destroyed dantian—a clue he credits his medical knowledge with revealing 32.
• Proposes splitting Xiao Feng’s divine soul so its fragments can occupy the Five Directional Divine Beasts’ spirit platforms before their consciousness awakens 36.

Temporal Intervention and World-Opening Merit

Ouyang’s system-assisted journey into the Elder Ancient Era allows him to influence events long before his present life. Ou Yezi confirms that they shared a body, and Ouyang’s altered history escapes Hu Yun’s knowledge 142 170.

• Historical intervention: Changes the fates of Ou Yezi and Li Taibai’s era, at a stated cost of one-third of his lifespan 142.
• World-Opening merit: Uses the merit’s natural opposition to evil ghosts and wronged souls to destroy vast numbers of them with single blows 642.
• Sun-and-moon weapon forms: Employs the sun and moon as shifting weapons, including slashes, thrusts, blocks, and other forms 642.
• Timeline restructuring: Arranges for the Human Progenitor’s role and Chen Changsheng’s place in history to become valid while erasing his own historical existence 655 656.
• Power dispersed through the world: His true essence spreads throughout Heaven and Earth and merges into the River of Time, supporting Leng Qingsong’s movement beyond Li Taibai’s path toward the Sword of Heaven and Earth 683.

Drawing and Interrogation

• Portrait drawing: Produces realistic illustrated books that astonish Li Yi, who repeatedly seeks further volumes 37.
• Interrogation expertise: Punishment Peak’s master calls him an interrogation expert appearing only once in ten thousand years. Ouyang provides its investigators with The Azure Cloud Sect’s Ten Great Tortures and offers to improve their tools 19.
• Social application: Uses picture albums to cultivate friendships throughout the sect, resulting in frequent enthusiastic greetings from other peaks’ inner disciples 98.
• Paper crafts: Later prefers cutting simple butterflies to folding cranes because he can produce them much faster 532.

Injuries and Limitations

• Soul damage: Chang Suzhen states that soul damage inflicted by Chen Changsheng will probably prevent Ouyang from becoming a Great Cultivator or reaching Body Integration. Ouyang himself is comparatively unconcerned, having already accepted the prospect of remaining at Foundation Establishment 489.
• Meridian and dantian injuries: Nearly dies after severe damage and undergoes medicinal-bath treatment. Later examinations find his meridians repeatedly breaking down and repairing themselves 488 530.
• Information overload: True essence scattered throughout the Cultivation World exposes his mind to an immense flood of information, causing memory failures and periods of childlike confusion. Entering the Demon Realm blocks that influx and restores his clarity 563 583 595.
• Death qi vulnerability: Merit lets him slay ghosts but does not make his Foundation Establishment body immune to the surrounding death qi. Continued exposure exhausts him and leaves gray marks on his face 642 643.
• Loss of power in special spaces: His true essence initially becomes inaccessible in the Nine Hells and is also suppressed during the lotus-pond encounter with Dharma 248 325.
• Reincarnation-related amnesia: Forming his own Yellow Springs Road and passing through the Underworld causes his memories of this life to disappear. Recovering his name does not immediately restore those memories 731 732 733 734 736.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Immortal-binding rope / Hemp Rope — Used with poison to trap Hu Yan. It has no cultivation requirement and does not qualify as a magic artifact, making it usable despite Ouyang’s initial equipment restrictions. Later acts affectionately toward him and reveals a seed concealed within its body, offering a clue to an alternative to Hu Yun’s planned sacrifice 10 12 25 274.
• The Complete Introduction to Basic Spell Arts — Reference manual used to relearn spells before casting, including Spring Renewal 11 40.
• Five-Element spell manuals — Consults introductory manuals for escape arts, weather manipulation, fireballs, and later Foundation Establishment spells. Eventually begins developing techniques beyond the book 63 109 318 555.
• Speed Talisman — Given by Chen Changsheng; doubles movement speed when torn open and supplied with true qi 3.
• Storage pouch — Carries books and spirit stones; Ouyang produces a chest containing one hundred high-grade spirit stones for Xiao Feng’s farewell gifts 33 37.
• Everlasting Lamp — Its dim flame originally reflects his weak vitality and poor prospects for extending his lifespan through cultivation 26.
• Liang Zai — Dachshund-shaped Dao Treasure used as a melee weapon, ranged cannon, and means of travel. Li Taibai later confirms that Liang Zai was his gift to Ouyang 110 123 194 553.
• Communication Stone — Channels true qi into it to contact others, including during his dealings with Chang Xiaoyue 69.
• Sword-Questioning Pool — Tai’a agrees to lend it to him after recognizing his karmic debt to Hu Yun 153.
• Wooden plaque from Hu Yun — Throws it down to Bai Feiyu before his consciousness is taken into the Nine Hells 248.
• Three Martial Uncles’ gift — Receives an unspecified first-meeting gift from Dharma on behalf of his Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Martial Uncles 327.
• Cold, Clear Sword — Forms it from true essence while preparing to face enemies for his junior brother’s sake 456.
• Chang Xiaoyue’s demon core — Keeps it in a wooden box and subsequently gives it to Chang Suzhen 488.
• Projection Stone — Uses one during his encounter with Xiaoyaozi 541.
• Notebook / diary — Records information he may later forget; Li Taibai also urges him to keep a diary 553 607.
• Strand of Tutu’s hair — Reaches him in confinement, restores his fading body, and gives him strength to open his cage 721.

Relationships

• Hu Yun — Master. Accepted Ouyang alongside Leng Qingsong; taught him medicine and eagerly recorded the pickup lines Ouyang brought from his previous life. Later sacrifices his flesh, interferes with the system, and arranges Dao Contemplation and Heart Inquiry for Ouyang’s survival. Their connection is reciprocal across lives: Hu Yun is also Ouyang’s disciple from a previous life and his fellow countryman from another world 5 8 170 274 650.
• Leng Qingsong — Adopted little brother and second junior brother. Refuses opportunities that would separate them; Ouyang combines pride in his talent with parental discipline. Ouyang knows he is the embodiment of Li Taibai’s Immaculate Sword Heart rather than the true reincarnation, but insists that he should live as Leng Qingsong and pursue his own dreams. His later dispersal of true essence helps Leng Qingsong move beyond Li Taibai’s path 5 170 526 527 535 683.
• Chen Changsheng — Reborn third junior brother. Ouyang restrains his revenge-driven actions, cares for him afterward, and protects him from punishment. Chen’s previous-life memories of Ouyang’s death drive his desire to save everyone. Ouyang later recognizes him despite his association with the identity of Zu Yuan and reshapes the timeline to give him a legitimate place as the world’s savior rather than merely a key to another restart 18 19 607 649 655.
• Bai Feiyu / Xiao Bai — Reincarnated sword-immortal junior brother. Their relationship includes teasing, roughhousing, joint devil-slaying missions, and cooperation on Xiao Feng’s cultivation. Ouyang knows him to be Li Taibai’s true reincarnation and later recalls enduring one hundred and eight thousand cuts during Xiao Bai’s God-Sealing 2 14 36 170 643.
• Hu Tutu — Junior sister whom he escorts, reassures, and helps register with the sect. After learning about his weak vitality, she silently vows not to let him die. Her search eventually reaches him beyond the world, and her hair restores his fading body and helps secure his return 8 21 26 721.
• Xiao Feng — Nominal disciple of Little Mountain Peak recruited through Ouyang’s intervention. Ouyang acknowledges that formal acceptance must await Hu Yun’s decision, then coordinates a way for him to cultivate. Xiao Feng later regards him as a teacher, elder, and trusted friend, setting aside his Dragon King arrogance in his presence 32 33 36 507.
• Dongxu Zi — Sect master and a mentor Ouyang considers “half a master.” Their exchanges include beard-pulling and insults, but Dongxu Zi helped establish Little Mountain Peak during Hu Yun’s absences. They share grief over Hu Yun’s sacrifice, and Dongxu Zi later offers to take Ouyang as a direct disciple, which Ouyang refuses 23 24 177 235.
• Hu Yan — Hu Tutu’s fox companion and prospective protector. Ouyang initially subdues him, then questions his motives and accepts his warning about the limits of raw true qi 12 19.
• Su Ling’er — Chief disciple of Jade Maiden Peak and romantic admirer. His pickup lines change her initial rejection into affection; she imagines becoming his Dao partner 21 26.
• Su Xiaoqi — Elder who repeatedly disciplines him during his upbringing but becomes especially close to him. He can freely enter Jade Maiden Peak despite its usual prohibition on male cultivators, and she later helps examine and care for his injuries 175 530.
• Ling Feng — Sect master’s disciple. Ouyang saves him from Chen Changsheng’s attack and later comforts him after his defeat by Hui Zhi. Their relationship later becomes hostile over harm to Ouyang’s junior brother; Ouyang obtains permission to seek a replacement for him and subsequently has Liang Zai swallow the unconscious Ling Feng 16 43 428 434.
• Zu Yuan — Devil Race holy son whose identity Ouyang detects early. Ouyang initially prevents his killing without proof, then observes his public exposure during the competition. Later rescues Zu Yuan from Zhuyin’s Phantom and the black hands imprisoning him; subsequent revelations connect the Zu Yuan identity with Chen Changsheng 14 18 48 602 607 649.
• Li Yi — Punishment Peak master. Praises Ouyang’s interrogation skill and borrows his illustrated books, including during a confrontation over stolen formation materials 19 37.
• Li Taibai — Friend connected to Ouyang’s intervention in the Elder Ancient Era. Later speaks through Leng Qingsong, identifies Liang Zai as his gift, and assures Ouyang that he has staked the future on him and that he is not alone 142 170 553.
• Ou Yezi — Shares a body with Ouyang during the latter’s journey into the past. Eventually recognizes him as the unknown soul from those years; Ouyang later stabilizes his spirit and claims him as one of his own 134 142 144.
• Tai’a — Sword Sect master. Initially exposes the slowness of Ouyang’s attacks, but later lends him the Sword-Questioning Pool in recognition of his debt to Hu Yun 108 153.
• Liang Zai — Sentient Dao Treasure and close companion. Ouyang uses him as a weapon and carrier; Liang Zai also intervenes defensively when a threatening expert approaches 110 194 541.
• Mu Yunge and Mu Yunhai — Penglai sisters connected to Hu Yun whom Ouyang treats as his master’s wives. His first visit leads to conflict over Penglai’s ban on men. Mu Yunhai’s Life-Bound Dream later helps him confront his past, and both sisters assist with examining his injuries 196 197 224 229 530 531.
• Dharma — Fourth Martial Uncle and founding abbot of Great Spirit Mountain Temple. Gives Ouyang guidance and a gift from three Martial Uncles while entrusting him with the plan to merge Buddhism into the Daoist Sect 326 327.
• Hui Zhi — Initially a suspicious Buddhist figure, later Ouyang’s companion in the Nine Hells and someone he protects there. After the long passage of time, the Cyber Bodhisattva Hui Zhi comes to see the amnesiac Ouyang off 41 250 253 327 729 733.
• Chang Xiaoyue — Knows Ouyang from the boys’ childhood travels with Hu Yun. He becomes involved in the struggle over her true name and fate, witnesses her apparent death and restoration of flood victims, and later delivers her demon core to Chang Suzhen 61 388 434 488.
• Chang Suzhen — Discusses Hu Yun and Chang Xiaoyue’s fate with Ouyang, later treats his severe injuries, and rebukes both him and Hu Yun for disregarding the pain their sacrifices cause others 388 488 489.
• Zhao Qiansun — Rejects Ouyang’s offer to join the Azure Cloud Sect or Sword Sect. Much later gives him the crystal-ball dream through which he recovers his name 153 734.
