Background
Ye Fan was the class monitor of Fang Qing’s former classmates on Earth. At their Mount Tai reunion, Fang Qing recognized him as the world’s protagonist; when Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin descended, Fang Qing took Ye Fan with him through the falling dragon corpses. The two then discussed the possibility that the coffin was carrying them toward a world where immortality could be cultivated. 3 6 7
At Lingxu Grotto-Heaven, Ye Fan’s Ancient Desolate Sacred Body initially made even basic cultivation prohibitively resource-intensive. He consumed more than a dozen bottles of Hundred Herb Liquid without sensing the Wheel of Life, until Fang Qing secured and supplied additional bottles, allowing him to enter the Bitter Sea Realm. 40
After a year apart, Ye Fan returned to Fang Qing with Pang Bo at the Other Shore Realm. He brought a fragment of Green Copper and Divine Fruits from the Ancient Desolation Forbidden Zone, repaying Fang Qing’s earlier support. After passing Star Peak’s assessment, Ye Fan became a Star Peak disciple and later used the Dao Scripture: Dao Palace Scroll to enter the Dao Palace Realm. 103 104 117
Personality
Ye Fan is loyal and mindful of those who aid him. He remembers Fang Qing’s investment in him at Lingxu Grotto-Heaven and reciprocates with Divine Fruits from the Ancient Desolation Forbidden Zone rather than keeping them for himself. 40 105
He is determined in the face of dangers tied to his constitution. He chooses to challenge the Four Extremities Realm despite the Sacred Body’s curse, withstands Chaos Divine Lightning, and later continues confronting enemies ranging from Underworld cultivators to Immortal King An Lan. 218 219 564 770
