Ye Ziyun
One of the students in the fighter apprentice class, alongside Nie Li, keeps her background largely unknown to others. She hails from the prestigious Snow Wind Family, which is considered the most powerful family in Glory City. Her lineage includes her grandfather, the legendary demon spiritualist Ye Mo, and her father, Ye Zong, who currently holds the position of City Lord.
Unfortunately, she experienced the loss of her mother at a young age. Due to the busy schedules of her father and grandfather, she rarely gets to spend time with them.
Appearance and Personality
Described as an elegant beauty, she possesses striking purple hair and captivating lavender eyes. Her demeanor exudes warmth and friendliness, though she can display a competitive streak on occasion. Despite her amiable nature, she struggles with decisiveness and often finds it challenging to comprehend her own emotions.
Alternate Life
She was originally promised in marriage to Shen Yue from the Sacred Family. However, when demon beasts attacked and Glory City was deserted, their marriage plans fell through. At that time, she was a 1-star gold rank demon spiritualist. Along with other survivors, she sought refuge in the Endless Desert to the east of the St. Ancestral Mountains.
During their struggle for survival, Nie Li offered her protection, and their bond deepened as they faced adversity together. Despite his lower cultivation level, they became lovers for a brief period. Tragically, she lost her life while shielding the survivors from a demon beast attack.
Abilities and Equipment
Ye Ziyun had a cyan soul realm with a soul force of 86. She possessed the rare snowwind attribute and the powerful Ice Phoenix soul form. Once she reached Black Gold rank, her cultivation would advance rapidly with the hatching of the Ice Phoenix. Nie Li gave her the Nine Revolving Ice Phoenix cultivation technique, and she quickly advanced to the bronze rank that night.
During the journey to the Ancient Orchid City Ruins, Nie Li presents Ye Ziyun with an abstruse gemstone to aid in her cultivation and healing. Additionally, she discovers a bone tooth anklet crafted from the bones of the legendary Snow Wind Giant Beast. This rare artifact enhances one’s demon spirit force.
At the annual Holy Orchid Institute Exam, Ye Ziyun exceeded the 500 limit of a primary soul crystal with her remarkable soul force, causing it to explode. Shortly after, Nie Li gave her the god-level growth demon spirit, Snow Queen, which helped her reach a 3-star silver rank.
In the following days, Ye Ziyun dedicates herself to cultivation and achieves a remarkable milestone, reaching the 5-star silver rank as a demon spiritualist. While Nie Li and the others venture into the Abyss Prison Realm, Ye Ziyun experiences a breakthrough and attains the 1-star gold rank. Through her relentless training and the aid of the Demon Spirit Devouring Technique, Ye Ziyun advances even further to the 5-star gold rank.
During the expedition to the Nether Realm, the group’s cultivation experiences rapid progress due to the assistance of the Soul Array, propelling them to the 4-star black gold rank. Additionally, Ye Ziyun consumes one of the Spiritual Origin Fruits during their journey through the Nine-Layered Deathlands, significantly elevating her cultivation close to the legend rank.
During her participation in the Lord of Nether’s Disciple Selection, Ye Ziyun ventures into the Black Infernal Tower. There, she absorbs the black flames gradually, fortifying both her body and soul.
When Nie Li’s soul realm undergoes a surge and breaks through into the Legend rank, a majestic wave of profound law energy emanates through the soul array. Overwhelmed by this immense power, Ye Ziyun experiences a sudden advancement, propelling her directly to the 2-star legend rank.

Ye Ziyun and Xiao Ning’er were once friends, but their families’ social statuses caused them to drift apart. Ye Ziyun joined the fighter apprentice class hoping to reconnect with Xiao Ning’er, but Xiao Ning’er’s cold and competitive demeanor made it challenging for Ye Ziyun to approach her.
In contrast, Ye Ziyun has a favorable impression of Shen Yue due to their similar social standings, and they have practically grown up as acquaintances. Ye Ziyun’s attention is captured by Nie Li when Xiao Ning’er brings him breakfast, leading to a moment of jealousy for Ye Ziyun
Gain Cultivation Arc:
Ye Ziyun notices Nie Li’s remarkable expertise in inscription patterns during class, where he confidently demonstrates his knowledge. Intrigued by his abilities, she seeks his assistance in the library regarding some inscription pattern issues she’s encountering. To her amazement, Nie Li effortlessly provides solutions to her problems and even corrects one of the patterns.
Curious about Nie Li’s proficiency, Ye Ziyun consults the Inscription Master Xue Yin about the pattern Nie Li drew. She learns that Nie Li’s skill level is comparable to that of an inscription master, leaving her impressed yet puzzled by his exceptional knowledge.
The Sacred Family faced a significant blow to their pride when Nie Li exposed that one of their ancestors’ claimed inscription patterns was stolen from an ancient book. This revelation caused many people, including Ye Ziyun, to view the family in a less favorable light.
Nie Li tests Ye Ziyun’s soul realm and discovers she has the rare snow wind attribute and the powerful Ice Phoenix soul form. Her cultivation speed matches the Winged Dragon form, but upon reaching Black Gold rank, it hatches and progresses rapidly. Nie Li provides her with the Nine Revolving Ice Phoenix cultivation technique, and she swiftly advances to the bronze rank that night.
Shen Yue approaches Nie Li and Ye Ziyun at the library, attempting to assert his familiarity with Ye Ziyun over Nie Li. However, Nie Li surprises both of them by revealing intimate details about Ye Ziyun that he shouldn’t know, including a butterfly-shaped mark on her left chest.
The following day, Ye Ziyun’s opinion of Shen Yue takes a sharp decline when she witnesses him attacking Nie Li alongside a group. She comes to Nie Li’s defense and is repulsed by Shen Yue’s actions. Similarly, Xiao Ning’er also stands up for Nie Li and shows genuine concern and care for him, which makes Ye Ziyun feel uneasy.
