Background / History

Ye Fan encounters Shen Ye after Shen Ye's breakthrough at the Demon Emperor's Tomb. While the other cultivators pursue released treasures, Ye Fan finds a rusted Green Copper Block; it vanishes into his Sea of Bitterness when he channels divine power into it. Duan De explains that Shen Ye has crossed directly from mortality to the Other Shore of the Sea of Wheels Secret Realm. 25

When Shen Ye exposes Ye Fan and Duan De's hiding place in the ancient hall, he declares that a future opportunity—the Source Root of All Things' Mother Qi—lies with Ye Fan. Ye Fan accepts a transaction: a page of the Dao Scripture's Sea of Wheels Scroll in exchange for one-fifth of that future treasure. 28

Ye Fan later confirms the bargain to his companions. Although Shen Ye had not even known his name when they made the initial deal, Ye Fan considers the Dao Scripture page worthwhile and honors the agreement. 60

When Pang Bo remains possessed by an old demon, Ye Fan chooses Shen Ye as his mediator because he does not fully trust Yan Ruyu with the Nine Secrets. He teaches Shen Ye the Dou Character Secret and agrees to lend him the Green Copper Block; Shen Ye then negotiates Pang Bo's release. 68 70

Ye Fan ultimately defeats Wang Teng at the Ji Family. At Shen Ye's request, he spares Wang Teng in return for help retrieving the Ancient Star Map, hoping to find a route back to Earth. 242

Personality

Ye Fan is loyal and willing to pay heavily for those close to him. He offers one of the Nine Secrets to save Pang Bo, accepts deals that may not immediately benefit him, and remains determined to return to Earth despite the uncertainty of doing so. 67 68 242

He is also practical and cautious in matters of trust. Rather than hand the Dou Character Secret directly to Yan Ruyu, he asks Shen Ye to mediate because Shen Ye's detached reputation convinces him that the transaction will be handled fairly. 68 69

Despite his caution, Ye Fan possesses strong resolve. During the Dark Turmoil, he refuses to remain safe while others face the Life Restricted Zones, stating that even an ant should make its voice heard. 410
