Background

Arrival on Yinghuo

Ye Fan is among the people transported away from Earth by the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin. On the barren world of Yinghuo, he takes charge when panic spreads, urging the survivors not to despair. He also recognizes the ancient Bronze Inscriptions identifying their location as “Yinghuo.” 3

After reaching the Big Dipper Burial Emperor Star, Ye Fan explores the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land with Lin Yu and Pang Bo. He cautiously examines the sacred fruits of the Nine Wonders Immortal Medicine before consuming his share. 8 9

Spirit Void Cave Heaven

At Spirit Void Cave Heaven, the elders identify Ye Fan as possessing the Desolate Ancient Saint Body. They deem it a crippled physique because his Wheel of Life is silent and his Sea of Suffering is too firm to open, yet Ye Fan remains outwardly calm rather than despairing. Lin Yu and Pang Bo insist that he be admitted alongside them. 12

Lin Yu later explains that the Saint Body was once an unparalleled physique but has become cursed in the current era. By using furnace true fire to refine the latent medicinal power of the Sacred Fruits, Lin Yu strengthens Ye Fan’s meridians and enables him to open his Sea of Suffering. 14 15

Reunion with Lin Yu and Pang Bo's Rescue

After Lin Yu becomes the Yaoguang Holy Son under another identity, he reunites with Ye Fan and reveals the truth. Ye Fan asks him to help rescue Pang Bo, who has been taken to the Northern Region by the Demon Race. 59

Ye Fan and Lin Yu later infiltrate the Palace of Immortality, suppress the Old Demon possessing Pang Bo, and enter Pang Bo’s sea of consciousness to free him. 81 82

Saint Body Legacy

Near the remains of an ancient Desolate Ancient Saint Body, Ye Fan resonates with the corpse and his Green Lotus enters it. His consciousness follows the corpse’s circulating Divine Power, allowing him to obtain a partial method for cultivating a single secret realm to its limit. 76 77

He later enters the corpse of a Great Accomplishment Saint Body at Saint Cliff and claims it. During his own Four Extremities breakthrough, this Saint Body and the revived Dragon-Marked Black Gold Cauldron allow him to destroy the innate Dao Diagram that enforced the Saint Body’s curse. 97 117

Return to Earth

The discovery of Earth’s coordinates rekindles Ye Fan’s longing for home. Lin Yu promises that they will eventually return once remaining affairs on Beidou are resolved. 157

Ye Fan later returns to Earth with his parents and reunites with Lin Yu at Mount Tai. His father and mother thank Lin Yu for protecting him during their years away from home. 214

Personality

Ye Fan remains composed under pressure. He accepts the apparent verdict that his physique is crippled without outward panic, and later shows similar calm while using Source Techniques in the Holy City despite public scrutiny. 12 101

He is fiercely loyal to Pang Bo and treats his rescue as an urgent priority. Even when warned that his future as a Saint Body and Source Technique inheritor may be fraught with curses and ominous danger, he refuses to retreat. 81 99

His relationship with Lin Yu is marked by blunt humor and mutual trust. Ye Fan is often exasperated by Lin Yu’s schemes, but repeatedly cooperates with him in dangerous expeditions, cultivation projects, and conflicts with major sects. 59 83 186
