Background / History

Ye Fan attends a class reunion at Mount Tai while Xu Qiong prepares for their wedding. He remains unmoved when he sees Li Xiaoman with another man, prepares raincoats for the storm, and helps Xu Qiong put one on shortly before the Four Dragon Pulling Coffin descends. 195

After reaching the Big Dipper Star Domain, Ye Fan becomes a rogue cultivator searching for the Ruthless Heavenly Scripture. Witnessing the cultivation world's cruelty hardens him; when Liu Yunzhi attempts to steal divine fruits from Liu Yiyi and Xu Qiong in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, Ye Fan kills him. 196

He cultivates at Clumsy Peak under Li Ruoyu's guidance and comprehends the Jie Zi Secret. He later travels through the Northern Region with the Black Emperor, learns of the Source Heaven Technique, and enters Purple Mountain in pursuit of it. 198 199

Appearance

Ye Fan is described with thick black hair and a calm, resolute bearing. In battle, his golden blood qi can engulf the starry sky, while his Heavenly Emperor Fist and Heavenly Emperor Cauldron manifest overwhelming pressure. 221 230

Personality

Ye Fan is practical and caring toward those close to him. Before his journey begins, he prepares for bad weather and looks after Xu Qiong; later, he remains protective of companions and family even when doing so places him in extreme danger. 195 232

He is also decisive and increasingly ruthless when provoked. His search for powerful scriptures exposes him to widespread brutality, and he responds without hesitation when Liu Yunzhi threatens Xu Qiong and Liu Yiyi. 196

As leader of the Heavenly Court, Ye Fan is ambitious and fiercely responsible. He temporarily dissolves the organization rather than let its members become targets, promising to rebuild it into a force feared by the Forbidden Zones. 231
